Could Marcus Furius Camillus be considered as a "last Roman". I know it might doesn't make much sense, but people consider men like Aetius as one for prolonging the empire, and without Camillus' counter attack, Rome might have succumbed to the Gauls way back in 4th century.

@@memecliparchives2254 yet completely flat lined at this point ... still recovering from that asset bubble they created and now further crippled by their nearly impossible to pay off debt which they took on in order to bail out those very same entities who inflated the assets to begin with. This is at the expense of the common tax payer. Brilliant plan really ... sacrifice the future of your country's average worker so the current elites can stay exorbitantly and unfairly wealthy behind the scenes. And you wonder why the average salary man is being milked dry? He's the guy holding the empty bag after all the elites got fabulously wealthy on it but didn't want to lose out so they had the government bail them out lol. 🤣 I kinda feel sad for the Japanese ... but ... this is going to happen all the same to Europe and America soon too since they love making the same mistakes ...🙃 just keep pumping in that QE (quantitative easing) money, keep interest rates artificially low to 'stimulate' the economy ... nothing can go wrong ... nuhuh ... all the inflated assets definitely won't come back to bite you in the ass ... 😁

It's more complicated than what is portrayed here. The brief overview pretty much gives you sense that Japan easily defeated Russia but they didn't. In nearly all cases, the Japanese used overly aggressive tactics and strategies to bull rush Russia. In Manchuria, they often just charged wildly into entrenched Russian positions only winning due to numbers and a lack of supplies on the Russian part. And then Russia did the most stupid thing imaginable by sending their Baltic fleet across the world to fight Japan. It wasn't really a military defeat but a political one. Russia already had several armies on the way to take back Manchuria but political pressure forced the government to just give up. This entire war propelled Japan with a sense of superiority of "Hey, we can do this!" when they really only fought a small garrison. Picture that one episode of Spongebob where Sandy is fighting the giant worm. She thinks she has it beat, only to realize that what she was fighting was just the tongue of the worm. Same concept. It made Japan too overconfident and too aggressive. Which is what spelled their doom in more unplanned, foolhardy moves in China and the Indies.

What is always overlooked about Japan becoming a modern nation in a short period of time due to the Meiji Restoration is the spread of Japan's urbanization and education in the Edo period. Even before Matthew Perry arrived, Edo, which is now Tokyo, was the largest city in the world and had the world's highest literacy rate due to the spread of private cram schools called terakoya. The legible public carried out various cultural activities, and the mass consumer society flourished. Each domain controlled by a feudal lord tried to promote local specialties and competed with each other, and handicraft industry developed at the highest level. Under such circumstances, modern political systems and the machinery industry were imported from the West, and Japan succeeded in modernization at once.

Heihachiro Togo in 1863 was a crew of Kagoshima Coastal Battery, being bombarded by the British. His weapon was a smoothbore muzzle-loading black powder cannon shooting round shots. 41 years later in 1904, he command a fleet of Pre-Dreadnought battleships. His flagship was the Mikasa, a British-made 15,000 ton Pre-Dreadnought armed with 12-inch rifled guns capable of firing 390kg HE shells over 10km. Japan or any other country, the technological development of the 19th century was astonishing.

The journey of the 2nd Pacific Squadron is honestly one of the most comedic episodes of military history. Its such a cavalcade of errors and incompetence. From shooting wildly in every direction due to the imaginary threat of Japanese torpedo boats in the Baltic Sea, to nearly starting a war with the British Empire by shooting at (and missing) an English fishing fleet, to successfully hitting one of their own ships during a gun salute because the ship doing the salute used live ammunition, to repeatedly crashing into one another on the journey around Europe, to cutting the telegraph wire at Tangiers while going out of port, to filling the ships with so much coal that the ships developed a thick coating of coal dust, to my personal favorite anecdote: capturing deadly predators on Madagascar as exotic pets... only for the ships to become floating zoos filled with angry crocodiles, mischievous lemurs and venomous snakes. Apparently Rozhetsvensky had a crate of 50 binoculars on his ship. The reason was that anytime something went wrong, he would throw a set of binoculars into the sea in frustration. One wonders how many of the 50 still remained after the battle.

When I was a kid I used to watch an anime called Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X in Latin America) which was set during the initial years of the Meiji Restoration. I mostly watched it for the badass fist and sword fights, but revisiting as an adult I found fascinating how it accurately describes the struggle of people caught between eras. Those who refuse change and will violently fight to oppose it, those who just want to blend in the new reality and those who embrace change either because it will give them power or bring peace and stability. And many characters are based on actual historical characters, they even have a complete arc based on the Shimabara rebellion of the Japanese christians against the Shogunate. Few works of fiction delve into history like that! And it was probably one of the factors that made me interested in history in general and therefore love this channel later :)

My father and his siblings were Army and Marine Corps, Vietnam. But it was my early exposure to Pacific Naval battles, paritcularly Cmdr. Earnest Evans story, that put a drive in me at a very young age to join the Navy, which I did at 18, serving as a radioman during the Gulf War years. This series is nothing short of fascinating as it ties it all together, Preamble to hostilities, entire theater strategic overview of land, sea and air assets. Well done, very well done. The Guadalcanal episode is especially detailed. Thank you for all your teams do. You've gained an immediate fan here.

And like the Ryukyus, the victorious Allied Powers (mainly the US) probably would not have tried too hard to separate them from Japan after the Pacific War (World War II)

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time thats really underrated is Warriors of The Rainbow. Which this video briefly mentions at 8:00. I recommend anyone who likes these videos to check it out.

Imagine this, Japan had only been modernizing for 100 years yet it was victorious over Britain in naval battles by ww2, and Britain and many western powers had been modernizing for the last few hundred years at the time. The Japanese airplanes, A6M Zero was also superior before the entrance of USA.
