_Who knows what could've been had Japan been able to put this into production a year earlier._ I know. It would have made a very, very small difference. Maybe gaining the Japanese an extra week or two before surrender. Maybe not even that.
I think that the Imjin War & the later Second Sino-Japanese War are similar for they both show Japanese military prowess, remarkable discipline and determination against the foes they invade. Unfortunately, both wars showed that the Japanese were extremely brutal adversaries who are highly successful at incurring the wrath of their foes, to the point that unbridled rage would alas spell reckoning against Japanese forces.
its hard to say the The Nazis did systematic profiling and genocide 6 millions jews were rounded up branded like cattle and slaughter in the same manner that cows are being slaughter they also have state serialization and killing of unwanted people who suffer from genetic defects both side did horrendous human experiment war crime to many example to even mention but i would say the japanese as a whole were just dip shit raping and pillage across there area of occupation forcing woman into sex slavery and stealing resources and land by force or using captured prisoner as experiments but the nazi on the other hand outright genocide a certain demographic and race of people the german just seem more calculated cold planed while the japanese is more like i see i like i take i kill i rape kind of deal not to justify it but one is clearly worst then unders lets not forget the soviets were also doing something similar to that of the japanese in a lesser and not as brutal extent.
I just suscribed and I am ex U.S. Navy and have been reading history for 64 years plus and will be 75 next month. I have a special fascination with WW2 Japanese aircraft and love learning about all things Japanese. Keep up the good work!
Better floatation ststem than a DD Shrman but it was still a inter ear obsolete light tank. Adaquit for fighting in China against a handful of panzer 1s and 2s but thats about it
It’s “mon” meaning crest not “mum”. They ground them off for multiple reasons but enemy powers not possessing the “Emperor’s property” was not the only one. It was more about the shame. Kuomintang and many other opposing forces used captured Japanese rifles (because most bolt action rifles made by the US/Japan/Russia/Italy etc were usually pretty good weapons) during WW2 and they weren’t scratching them off then.
Wow, I expected far less intelligence from the comment section. I figured it would be "the not-sees were the most evilestly evil evil-doers ever." Truth of what actually happened in BOTH cases is nowhere near what we have been told. Atrocity propaganda ruled populat opinion; the media ran everything popular opinion-wise.
Japan's historical distortion, historical revisionism, is too absurd Germany reflects on itself Germany teaches history accurately The Japanese should emulate Germany Come to Korea and study There is a lot of historical evidence Every country has a dark history. That's one thing. Whether they are ashamed and regret the wrong doings in the past and not cover it up is another the Asian Holocaust the Asian Nazis Japan should reflect on itself Germany knows how to reflect on itself, but Japan doesn't There is a lot of historical evidence in Korea It's an accurate history At that time, Japan was a serious, twisted evil empire As soon as industrialization succeeded, it invaded the neighboring country I must say that American soldier was necessary and it saved at least 20x more lives considering that Imperial Japan never wanted to stop doing Asian holocaust. Thank the American soldier for stopping the Asian Nazis The adults told me a lot of stories But Japan denies history You have to reflect history correctly to get along well in the future For future generations, too
I wanted to ask about the better weapons Choshu had compared to the Shogunate during the second expedition. What are geweer guns? Why are they so bad? What kind of minié rifles were used by the Shogunate? Were they muzzle-loaded? Breech-loaded? What are the better, modern guns Choshu had?
But They aren't Japanese soldiers... These are Korea armies doing crimes thing during world war 2. Meanwhile Korea participated in Japanese empire since Korea war with japan. Japanese sent korea armies china and half Asian countries to invade there. As I think they aren't Japanese faults. And also some people who are living in japan are talking like this now. Moreover British empire also rude and brutally in india.
My favourite unit of the Kwantung army! My favourite part about these guys is that they're mostly stantioned further west of the borders of nomonhan. Riding in horses as patrolmen alongside manchus while armed with WW1 type 32 ōtsu cavalry sabres.
Interesting topic, interesting aircraft but presentation-wise; background music is fine but PLEASE dial down the volume, it's almost difficult to hear what you're saying as the music was too loud.
Father was a "plank owner" on the USS New Jersey. I find the Japanese producing the quality designs they did, was pretty amazing, considering the difficulty in getting raw material. The "Silent Service" saved our asses!!
KMT supported Yuan shi kai , Japan have to take the Qing side. Not surprised. Soviet supplied arms to chinese communists too. KMT closed down all soviet consulates
Our Model United Nations group is Japan. For our MUN, we have to make a resolution to a problem in our country. I pitched the idea of Japan owning up to war crimes and demolishing the shrines to war criminals and they agreed! This one video was extremely helpful in helping our group convey the horrors of Japan to the conference.
Terrific video! But there are many far more immediate and strategic reasons the Japanese sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor was A TOTAL DISASTER for the Japanese high command war machine! #4. The Japanese war machine was SO WELL HONED by Dec 1941 that they didn't need a sneak attack - look what they did to the Philippines hours, days after their surprise- attack war was out of the bag. And though many criticize Gen. MacArthur for not doing much to resist the Japanese tidal wave, the grim facts were with a direct pipeline of fighters, bombers, and top notch naval ships from the (Japan) homeland to the PI invasion, NO American resistance in the Philippines would have lasted long - the U.S. simply didn't have the aircraft available, and there is no way the Navy could contest the IJN around those Philippine islands #3. As you allude, the sneak attack murders of U.S. sailors and soldiers at Pearl Harbor really provoked righteous outrage and vengeance among millions of American people - it's hard to quantify this contribution to the U.S. war effort, but it was clearly _huge_. #2. besides the fanatical dedication of Japanese soldiers, airmen, and sailors to give up their lives to kill the empire's enemies, the Japanese navy had TWO SUPER-WEAPONS: not, not the mighty Yamato and Musashi super-battleships (though they would have been hell-on-earth had they bombarded any U.S. Marine resistance had the invasion of Midway proceeded) but the Japanese had these SUPER torpedoes, "The long-lance" which were far superior to even late model (1945) U.S. torpedoes - they were bigger (far deadlier, more explosive power) and they were pure OXGYEN POWERED, meaning they were faster and longer range. Had the Japanese met the U.S. battleship fleet in open ocean, these LONG LANCE torpedoes - from destroyers, submarines, and aircraft - would have damaged OR SUNK the slow, older U.S. battleships - exactly as the British HMS Prince of Wales & Repulse were both sunk near Malaysia with negligible losses to the Japanese just a few days after the Pearl Harbor attack. #1. The MIGHTY "kido butai" JAPANESE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ATTACK FLEET - it would take the U.S. navy OVER TWO YEARS to put a strike package of SIX large carriers in one raid - and that was with the Japanese PROVIDING FREE INSTRUCTION at Pearl Harbor! Where SIX large Japanese carriers with well-honed aircrews, not only expert dive-bombers, but torpedo bombers carrying those god-awful Long Lance torpedoes - the U.S. had nothing like it! Had Pearl Harbor not happened, would the U.S. have put 6 carriers together in a COORDINATED STRIKE PACKAGE as they would not do until 1944 - AFTER having LEARNED THE LESSONS of Pearl? Now while U.S. naval anti-aircraft fire was hellacious _(as all the early carrier battles showed, even in defeat like Lexington, Yorktown, and Hornet's defensive AA fire downing many Japanese aircraft)_, had all six of the Japanese carriers caught the U.S. fleet - even U.S. aircraft carriers - at sea, it would have been a nightmare - EXCEPT that as the VICTIMS at Pearl Harbor, the U.S. navy LEARNED AN INSTANT LESSON in the PRIMACY OF AIR-POWER, and put their CARRIERS at the FOREFRONT of ALL naval planning and attacks from 1942 on. But JUST IMAGINE the old, slow U.S. battleships steaming out to fight the Japanese navy IF THERE HAD BEEN NO PEARL HARBOR - they would have been easy pickings for the combined might of Kido Butai's torpedoes. The above is a partial list...and Japan's BIGGEST mistake was NOT AIDING THEIR treaty ally NAZI GERMANY by ATTACKING RUSSIA when German panzer armies were knocking at the gates of Moscow (Dec. 1941). Had the Japanese helped the Nazis knock the Red Army OUT of the war, the British and Americans would have had a FAR TOUGHER TIME FIGHTING Nazi Germany's "Fortress Europe," and the U.S. military high command would have been able to use even less effort in the Pacific against Japan.
The Japanese- “can’t have the emperor’s property if it isn’t his anymore” The Emperor- “phew, believe they didn’t hang me? LOL… hey where are all of my rifles?”
It is interesting to compare the differences between Ming China and Toyotomi Japan during the late 16th century. On one side, you have a large empire that is internally corrupt and incapable of fully utilizing its resouces, both natural and material. On the other side, you have a newly united and highly militarized state that seeks to massively expand its relatively small territory. A recipe for conflict.
@@JapanatWar The koshirae is irrelevant. The point is it doesn't have the signature curve of medieval and post medieval Japanese blades. That would make it a chokuto. You can put different fittings on a blade, but that doesn't change what the blade is.
@@WILDMUSTANGX It actually does. Tachi for example were cut at the tang and given new fittings in the Edo period and reclassified. This also happened to a lot of pole arms as well.
Kyoshin also has a warrior-priest theme going also - as depicted with the eboshi hats worn by shinto priests and the basket helmets worn by komusō monks.
Im a viking main in for honor but kyoshin was the last new hero that i liked. I mained him for awhile and than went back to my vikings. Hes so fun to play and so many styles for outfits
I mean in Turkish history similar battle but this time happened. In Ottoman history the maritza war. I am not joking 800 vs. 50.000 - 70.000. I proud to be turkish sometimes because of that war xd.
