How Japan Lost its Empire, MAPPED | xQc Reacts 

Kinda cringe trying to humanise a group of people raping and colonizing other people "for their emperor"...

The culture and societal structure is dumb, not the individual peoples

​@@bananakuma it made a continental empire of Japan, it isn't really "cringe". What is cringe was their unwillingness to modernize.

@@branchy1186 cringe take.

@@Deformer23 mf zoomers, if ur gonna talk then actually type out a sentence, otherwise ur "take" is irrelevant and meaningless

he was really dumb about the native american thing, if anything it destroys his point

No they were forced to turn their newly unemployed military engineers into automobile engineers. And Italian? Meh.

Im pretty sure people would rather die by a nuclear bomb that would pretty much be instant if your close enough than being tortured in the most inhumane ways possible.

@@Naxtee anyone would choose nuclear bombs over torture

My Indonesian grandpa was conscripted in a militia at 15, if USA invaded Java like Okinawa. He ended up in the Indonesian national army fighting the Dutch coming back to occupy their colonies after the war. Japanese weapons and training are literally why we got free from colonialism. Japan W

People somehow feel more sympathy for that than the multitude of city-bombings like Dresden and the Blitz. People don't realize that bombing civilian cities was considered a normal and viable strategy ever since the idea of the homefront was created in the Great War. Yet, people look back on the bombings and say how evil they were. Yes, they were, but would a naval blockade starving the entire country be any less evil? Would a land invasion where tired, angry soldiers have more of a reason to kill any civilian they see after what they saw on Okinawa and Saipan? I'm rambling, but I just get really peeved when people misunderstand warfare and how truly close to hell it is.

The nanjing incident

You think every historian in the world is part of a big conspiracy to make the victor look good? Or maybe, just maybe, the "bad guys" don't get public support for their war because most civilians care to see their families not die in some pointless war. A war without public backing is doomed to fail, which nearly always means if you're not fighting for a just cause, you're going to lose. As for the Ukraine-Russia war, I've definitely seen one beheading video a few years back and I hear there's another circulating right now (I'm not interested in seeing another man lose their head in a video). It's not a good look for the Russians.

That's generally what happens to a country when it's forced to submit.

Modern Japan is basically a non official USA colony now ngl but ofc it's pejorative and not a good look to call it a colony nowadays so we'll just let it be Japan but under US control... just like south korea, wich was under the defeated Japan empire.

​@Frozeyaourt just because a country has foreign military bases doesn't mean it's a colony. Because other than that japan isn't a colony lol. If anything Canada is.

He is literally not doing that

Having colonies doesn't necessarily mean you're expansionist, many of the pacific colonies were pre-established tens, if not hundreds of years ago. Active expansion wasn't really a thing by that point The Philippines were sceded in a war between Spain and the US, a war caused in part by the US support of cuban revolts against the Spanish Empire. So not really the brightest example of expansionist policy.

you really expect xqc of all people to come up with a good take, especially on history?

expansionist is expanding into other territories and taking them, not holding previously taken territories. there was expansionism before and that is why those asian countries were colonies, but literally when germany and japan started being expansionists the war started. compare that to expansionism in africa where european countries just came in and claimed the land as their own like it was their right. thats what he means with expansionism is kinda dead at that point

@@EeveeRealSenpai are u fish

Tbf as a guy whose dad village was affected by ww2 in malaysia he would tell stories about how British ruled malaysia and how Japanese Empire treat them and he say he would prefer the British empire as it was way less violence

He was absolutely correct and the majority of prominent historians agree with that analysis.

@@EternaRecursio XQC saying being an expansionist was over during that time, when at THAT time almost every country in asia pacific was under western colony. Even the Philippines was still under American rule during that time, fresh from being taken from the spanish rule. Like what is he talking about?

that was called the Sino-Japanese war, not world war 2

Most of the world thinks WW2 started in 1939, and so do most if at all American sources do aswell. Here are some more sources from a few countries that aren't America and the last 2 are from America.

Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later." - British Library "World War II began on 1 September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939." - Imperial War Museum "The Second World War began on September 1, 1939, with the German invasion of Poland." - Institute of National Remembrance (Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, IPN) "World War II began on 1 September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland.

nah they just dont give a shit

85 iq take

@@vexboo4250 “take” is crazy, this is just a plain fact. Wait until you realize what history books about ww2 from Japan actually contain. Their books are very watered down and don’t even highlight in depth about what happened in the pacific theatre. Search about it online or any videos on RU-vid and you’ll realize that some Japanese don’t even know what a certain “symbol” from that era is.

@@epicgamertool 4:43 that'sprobably how u speak

@@epicgamertool How do you know what japanese history book contains? I grew up in Japan partially until Highschool (not anymore) but they teach all the student well about ww2 and the war crime that japan has committed including the Nanjing Massacre etc (I never saw the unit 731 specifically but those activities where they did cruel biological experiment on human, were mentioned). I also went to cram school since education is a huge deal in Japan but they they also teach this.

They ended up killing millions of Chinese as well. I believe they also infested some Chinese villages with the plague as experiments for biological warfare.

Its like comparing 1800s European territory or when america wasn't an European territory, with nowadays US Territory.
