Hideki Tojo: Bringing Japan Into the War - Pacific War #18 DOCUMENTARY 

Please continue the series on crime syndicates

Please rethink the title (and thumbnail). Admittedly I haven't watched the video, but naming a video about Hideki Tojo "Bringing Japan Into The Pacific War", is akin to naming a video about Hitler "Taking Germany Into Tumultuous Times". Not wholly inaccurate, but really?

Please, for heaven's sake, please stop using the rising sun flag for the Japanese Empire. It's so disappointing and frustrating to see that even a channel as great as this falls into this amateurish mistake. Japan's civil flag during WWII, that is, the counterpart to those of other countries in this video and elsewhere, was a red dot on a white background. Even a quick Wikipedia search would let you see that. Stop spreading this misconception. Please.

Talk about Cuban revolution and angola revolution

⬛American historians don't learn history at all, so their propaganda is incessant to hear ... 😊 It is clear that the basis of them is the purpose of scapegoating, with all of Japan losing responsibility for the war. Knowing this and spreading it, they can no longer be thought of as crazy people before they say historians ... patriots ...Mental illness Why is Tojo a racist? I don't understand at all. And, in Christianity would like to say that the emperor is not a god ... However, if you follow him, it is historically the United States that you will reach 神武天皇 Emperor Jimmu, the myth of the founding of Japan, but it noone cannot be denied. … Don't you criticize those who don't understand the meaning of other cultures? Fact that Japanese soldiers are falsely accused of their war criminals." I think it's the big problem in American history. ⬛Your theory is ridiculous from the beginning. Why continue to pursue the responsibility of the emperor? Many people may have been brainwashed by the United States and misunderstood, but "the victory or defeat of war is the strong or weak of power and has nothing to do with justice." It is strange to say that Japan is a "war criminal" because it was just defeated ... what？ The representative of the Japanese army, who was executed as a so-called A-class war criminal who was stigmatized by the victorious country, is also a defeated country. The person in charge, that is, the leader. It's just a show of revenge ... The winner judges the loser ... there is no right or qualification ... if it were in that era, only the belief of the ruler, who was covered in the evil desires of white supremacism ... In other words, why were the Japanese soldiers punished? What is the sin? There is only one reason for defeating. In other words, is it the defeat = war crime that the American judgment is strange? It is too stupid. I want to say how long they going to make Japan take all the responsibility for the war and make a scapegoat. Taiwanese historian Ko Bun'yu also said, "Japanese has liberated more slaves than Lincoln. It was given instead of being robbed of its name by Soshi-kaimei (giving the Japanese name to those who wished)." "If Japan had only one wrong thing ... it was a loss." Isn't it embarrassing for America, which was founded by the theory of Christianity? Rubbing responsibility to Japan for making up forever ... 3 anti-Japanese country want to need and America needs too History Academia made own only compared to the Nazis war criminal as hero America Written by Stupid Hypocrite the Winner at the Center of the World. We know lying in American history. How long do you really believe in the history of Korean and Chinese fabrications? What the United States was working on behind the scenes of Nanjing and the comfort women issue … why? It's a simple. That's because like a evil Japan for America needed... For the desires of MacArthur and the barbaric white supremacist ruler And Chiang Kai-shek's propaganda advertising department? And Roosevelt Group had already signed a contract in 1938 ... The most troublesome thing about Chiang Kai-shek and Chinese propaganda is to make themselves assailant changes we are the victims ...and enemy country (Japan) claim that Deceived as the position of damage caused by one's own harm Disseminate FAKE information that we are victim such a terrible thing by the Japanese army Substituting the victim for the perpetrator ... "Win without fighting" 🔴[Truman's 3S Policy] This story cannot be underestimated This is an important point in solving the brainwashing of the people. "Recognizing brainwashing" is important for cancellation. US President "Truman" To enslave Japan, a defeated country they used the 3S policy "Sex, sports, screen" Let the people's pleasure be directed to this Policy that does not draw attention to politics It was exactly the Japanese folklore policy. ⬛MacArthur talks about the Japanese: "If we measure with modern civilization, if we are 45, the Japanese are like a 12-year-old boy. The Japanese can accept new models and new ideas. It is possible to instill a basic concept in Japan. By nature, they are endowed with the ability to flexibly accept new concepts. " 🔷 Harry S. Truman "We keep monkeys (Japanese) in a cage named'False Freedom'. The method only needs to give them some luxury and convenience. And release sports, screens and sex (3S). Now you can turn your eyes away from the truth. Because monkeys are our livestock. Livestock contribute to us as our masters Naturally. Therefore, the body of livestock, which is also our property, You have to make it longevity. Make them sick (with chemicals, etc.) and keep them alive. This will keep us harvesting. This is also the authority of the victorious country. " ⬛ Also, on August 11, President Truman left the following comment in response to the telegram of the US-Christian Church Federation's protest against the dropping of the atomic bomb. "Thank you for the telegram dated August 9. No one is as traumatized by the use of the atomic bomb as I am. However, I was also very traumatized by Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor without a declaration of war and the massacre of prisoners of war. The only word that the Japanese understand seems to be that we drop the atomic bomb on the Japanese. When you come into contact with a beast, you must treat it as a beast. It's a shame, but that's the truth. " ⬛Nelson Mandela ◇Discrimination is the disease of the soul. It kills more people than any infective disease. The tragedy is that we have not discovered its treatment, which is in our reach. ⬛ Judge Railing's Diary 1946 ・ February Tomoyuki Yamashita ・ Execution of Army General He said in a military court in Manila, "I'm not ashamed of what I did…." Yamashita was a great man, not a criminal. It was just an enemy. ⬛ Professor Emeritus Shoichi Watanabe of Sophia University said, "Now is the truth of the'Pal Judgment'that cuts off the view of the history of the Tokyo trial." Summary The following two points are listed at the beginning, and the Tokyo Tribunal is claimed to be invalid. Really interesting. (1) The prosecution's side at the Tokyo Tribunal said, "This is a judgment of civilization, and by punishing the leader of the war of aggression, we will deter the outbreak of war in the future. The claim that "it has the purpose of making the international community safe" is that the Korean War broke out "before the ink of the sentence was fragile." It collapsed with the participation of many countries in the world. It is the end of the war between the judges of the Tokyo Tribunal. It is not a "civilization trial" at all. (2) Marshal MacArthur, who made the court ordinance (charter) of the Tokyo Tribunal, At the beginning of May 1945, just two and a half years after the execution of the so-called Class A war criminals, At the Senate Military Tribunal Joint Committee, one of the supreme institutions on military diplomacy in the United States, he officially testified to completely deny the Tokyo Tribunal. ⬛MacArthur concludes by testifying: ”Their (Japanese) purpose, therefore, in going to war was largely dictated by security.」 The reason why the Tribunal Ordinance was created in the first place is that "at that time, there was no international law to establish the Tokyo Tribunal." MacArthur himself, who made the court ordinance, said, "Japan did not have a war of aggression. It was a self-defense war. " Chief Prosecutor Keenan was involved in the drafting of the Court Ordinance. This is also a completely unjustified story, and it is a proof that the prosecutor's accusation was a trial that was decided according to the prosecutor's statement, such as making provisions for the trial. About the MacArthur Ordinance (Charter) Judge Pal denounced the words "killing civilization" as follows. "To make a so-called trial according to the definition of crime given today by the winner is kills the centuries-old civilization that lies between our time and the old days of the immediate killing of the losers. " I wonder why these scholars continue to say that Japan has invaded. And do you call the Imperial Army racism to Europe? I'm not sure. Japan opposed the invasion of the Christian world and the Asian colonies of white supremacists ... Thailand and Japan were the only independent countries at that time ... From the perspective of Japan, the guardian deity of Asia, they are the same as the CCP now ... ⬛ According to international law, the United States Lose the position of questioning Pearl Harbor to Japan at the time of military aid to China. However, the United States was a coward who started a war by doing a military business behind the war with "remember" and always promoting "the other party as a coward" ...Sneak Attack ☺️ Fact that Japanese soldiers are falsely accused of their war criminals." I think it's the big problem in American history.

USA: _Leaning back in gaming chair_ Hideki Tojo: GGEZ scrubs USA: _leans forward in gaming chair_

didn't Tojo coin the term "Paper Tiger" when referencing his percieved strength of America's power?

Well the allies really did put all their hopes into market garden i think they really were expecting to crush them by christmas if it went according to plan but it usually never does does it?

@@UnNuclear I love that mental image

Yeah. Or preparing victory celebrations for a battle and/or war before it's won. It's just tempting fate.

It looks like a Twitch emote.

And Teddy didn't even cheat Japan which is the sad thing. Warlords just hate peace.

Bully for them

Tojo was beast and fought the good fight against boshevism! Look how the Chinese communist rule china? No thank you. The Marxist are truly winning now.

@@jonsmith9527 lol roosevelt is pure evil

Tojo was actually a small fish up until his post of Minister of Army. He was not particularly influential within the IJA. (Besides his reputation of being traditionalist and hyper loyalist towards the Emperor)

I don't think there two versions of imperial japan one is the miji Japanese empire and other one is the miltery controlled Japanese empire, teaching Japanese kids about his brutality might spark to overthrow the Japanese monarchy, I don't think they want to do that.

@@glocksmith226 It is the whites who were in Asia for hundreds of years to enslave Asians.

@@hayek218 but they couldn't enslave japan, but instead Dutch would hire samurai to maintain law and order in Dutch Indonesia.

@@glocksmith226 Instead, Japan got rid of the Dutch from Indonesia, formed a national army, supplied weapons, and trained them. They are the ones who fought against the Dutch that came back to recolonize and enslave them.

And it has the same energy as Nobunaga owned the Ashikaga Shogunate tbh.

Take all of the radical fanatics of humanity from nazi, imperial Japan, Holy Roman Empire, conquistador Spain, etc. have them all create an evil incest baby and that’s the imperium of man’s government. Also considering their are hundreds of thousands if not millions of planets I wouldn’t be surprised if theirs a planet for nazi’s, imperial Japan, fascist Italy, etc.

Thanks

Haha.

I think Konoe was for a Higashikuni premiership when he resigned but the emperor refused because he believed imperial family members should not hold ministerial positions which are below them. Higashikuni later only became prime minister when it was necessary to convince the zealots in the country to accept surrender and an imperial prince as prime minister would smooth out that process

No, this video is about the old war propaganda and has nothing to do with truth or history. Refuting fabricated stories to look as if he is right is typical war propaganda.

@@hayek218 Bold claim. Got any sources proving it?

@@olliefoxx7165 That is stupid war propaganda. I admire you for having the guts to still trust the CCP after all these lies about the Covid-19. There is no such photo except for fabricated ones. Kuomintang Publicity Section fabricated all these photos of so-called “Japanese soldiers” wearing Japanese outfits made in China to distribute in the US for raising funds through Chang-kai Shek’s wife, Mei-sou Lin. The CCP is using these photos today to create hatred to break through the First Island Chain. Ask yourself if you can really show the bayonet photo, or name and the date of the newspaper you talked about of the “Japanese soldiers.” Are they really Japanese? You should really read the proper book if you want to pretend you know something about regional history. Throughout history, it is the Chinese who are the racist of the region. It is in their traditional philosophy, Confucianism and Sinocentrism. Officially, they were racists towards other nations because they believe the Hans are superior. Read their original history books. On the other hand, can you think of any evidence to show that the Japanese were racist in any part of their history? The recent “wolf warrior diplomacy” of the CCP is nothing new in the region. The Hans was always like that in history. The west was fooled because they were trying to learn from fabricated history. The more fabrication you read, the dumber you will become.

Always fear an efficient bureaucrat more than a mad tyrant

Tojo should have joined forces with the Koumintang of China to fight the Soviet Union, together, they could have captured Moscow.

In a way Tojo was majorly responsible for awakening the sleeping beast that would pummel the Japanese military and ultimately bring the war to the Japanese homefront. Imagine if he didn't advocate for Japan to war with The West, maybe Japan would be much different than it is today.

@@mitjed LOL Japan would have to cede any right in Manchuria and Korea for the Kuomintang to work with them, and even if they did, the Soviets would smash both armies

@@TheGetout04 Well, the soviets key armies was located in Europe. Even then, the Soviets by then couldnt even defeat Poland or Finland, how can they defeat the combine armies of China and Japan? Also, Once the Sino-Jap started, the first to fall for the invasion will be the cities that will have soviets productions of tanks that are near upper Mongolia and Manchuria. The soviets also need to watch their terrirories to the east.

don't forget the different things that pushed it to this point too. For example, president roosevelts idiotic racism was one of the main things that pushed tojo to hate america so much. many people have blood on their hands for ww2 and ww1, some individuals simply did more obviously escalating actions like tojo with the note and the serbian who shot the archduke right before ww1.

@@resentfuldragon Racism? Was Roosevelt wrong about Japan? History being 20/20, obviously he was not.

@@jonsmith9527 His actions caused the self-fulfilling prophecy. We saw in this video that tojo was convinced by the usa's actions that the west would never accept them and that might made right. Had the usa not done what it did I believe the pacific war would have not happened because tojo would not have been that radicalized. The sino-japansese war would most likely have happened still, but I doubt they would have gone after the west or other nations.

@@resentfuldragon I've known many slaves and Jewish people who didn't commit atrocities against white people or Germans just because what was done to their people. I don't know how or why you would want to justify what he did. Of course not all Japanese are responsible, but he is entirely responsible for his own murderous bloodlust.

@@jonsmith9527 I never said he was justified or that he wasn't fully responsible, I simply said that he was made not born evil. I agree tojo was evil and was one of the primary causes of ww2 and deserved to die and face judgement. I also consider roosevelt's disgusting and blatant racism and antagonization to be one of the factors that led to ww2/ ww2 as well as the previous ww1 were both caused by the bad choices of important people on both sides, there was no single action that did it. both wars were entirely preventable by either side and it was a series of idiotic mistakes that led to two of the worst wars humanity ever faced. This isn't limited to the past either, it still is and will continue to happen until we are all dead. the cold war and its proxy wars were preventable, the "war on terror" was preventable, the war in yemen was preventable, the war in ukraine was preventable. Nearly every war we had was a series of bad choices by important people on both sides, often one side being worse than the other.

It seems the cabinet had a bunch of generals (and admirals) holding critical portfolios in the government. Was the cabinet a military + zaibatsu clique? I hope the IJA and IJN rivalry is covered also.

@@graystoke8229 No, there are many politicians who come from a military background. (The samurai traditions) But once most of them enter politician life and party politics, whenever they try to implement certain policies that are not of the military’s younger officers taste, they would get loathed upon and even worse assassinated.

@@graystoke8229 They wanted to keep the facade of the civilian government and as well as getting the Zaibatsu support, so outside private entrepreneurs are also key advisors to the government. But the military is actually divided to two components, one is the administrative ministers (army and navy ministers) who are cabinet members and are selected by the navy to be their representatives in the government. The other is the commanding component (both army and navy chief of staff), who are the general command of the entire military and only answers to the Emperor. They are not directly responsible to the cabinet and the latter has no way to control them.

@@graystoke8229 One way for IJN and IJA to control cabinet policies is to “not appoint army and navy minister candidates”. If a government cabinet do not have active military personnel to take up as army and navy ministers, the cabinet would be forced to resign and form a new one. (One that aligned more to the military’s interests)

The Japanese tried to make it palatable by restricting it to member states of the League of Nations, which would have meant only Japan, China and Thailand. Australia fought hardest against it, in order to preserve its White Australia Policy.

yeah woodrow wilson is one of the worst human beings to ever plague this planet. Obviously though with hindsight, a racial equality act from a nation of racists and merciless butchers loses its meaning too

At the time, racial inequality is worse in the US than in Europe. When US troops came to Europe in WW2, the British soldiers were shocked at how badly the white American soldiers treated their black peers in the army.

its rather simple: racism. easy to deceive yourself when you believe everyone else to be inferior

To be fair, the will of the US Congress and the goals of President Roosevelt diverged pretty heavily on the topic of war prior to Pearl Harbor. Even getting the Lend-Lease act passed took incredibly difficult political maneuvering by Roosevelt because Congress preferred simply cutting as many ties to belligerent powers as possible, including defenders.

@@ironheart5830 I see they're often a staple in cyberpunk genre where megacorporations replace or control governments.

In the manga, Shinomiya Zaibatsu, run by the main heroine's family is said to be worth around 200 trillion yen. 200 yen is about 1.50 USD. But yeah, I'd imagine how the 1980's would look like had the zaibatsus stayed intact. I could imagine Japanese try to make a purchase of the whole Kurils after the fall of USSR and Japan overtake America in the 1990's as no.1 economy.

@@Joshua_N-A Wow sounds crazy 🤯

Japan was not hierarchy at the time, as everyone was ONLY loyal to the Emperor. Everyone felt it's ok to subvert his superiors if it's in the name of the Emperor.

Not really such a big thing. He headed the powerful toseiha faction of the japanese army, and after 1936 wiped out the political career of his inly rival and a leader of the kodoha faction, tomoyuki yamashita ( of Singapore fame, but the 25th army is a pretty small command for someone who could've been the leader of the ija). Any general or even Lt general could become the war minister, so it really wasnt such a big thing.
