Yasukuni Shrine to review war museum's claims about U.S.

TOKYO — Yasukuni Shrine plans to change or delete claims in its war museum that the United States forced Japan to fight World War II, following U.S. government complaints, sources close to the shrine said Friday.
The descriptions at the Yushukan museum claims the U.S. government under the administration of President Franklin D Roosevelt forced Japan to open fire by imposing economic embargos, and that the United States recovered from depression as a result. U.S. government officials and Japanese historians have requested that the shrine reconsider the claims and representatives of the shrine's membership also questioned their accuracy, the sources said.
