Unlike current revisionist history ideas floated ceaselessly these days as fact, Liberation Day is not about celebrating the NMI’s “liberation” from legitimate Japanese rule under a League of Nations Trusteeship by American armed forces.
No, the day is a celebration that commemorates the release of the whole local population from U.S. military-run concentration camps some two years after the island was declared secure after the American Invasion of Saipan. No one was gassed, none were stood before firing squads so maybe the nicer, friendlier term of “interment” camp could be used….but make no mistake, the entire local indigenous population was held, against their will, in Camp Susupe. They were locked up inside this camp until July 4th 1946. Remember the US Military Commander declared Saipan “secure” and under U.S. control as of July 9, 1944.
