They give McArthur to much credit for the Pacific victory. IMO Nimitz was the true leader.

You noticed too? From the Solomons thru island hopping, Navy ran that show. McArthur initial plan was disapproved. And he was against island hopping, only wanted to go to Philippines.

An old documentary, but still good.

By the way, MacArthur didn't fly out of the Phillipines, he was taken by boat to Australia, Nimitz and Yamamoto did not command the fleets at Coral sea... and footage taken on most locations does not correspond to narration...

Japan wanted to be isolationist but the US forced them to open up and coerced them into signing horrible trading “agreements.” This ushered into the Meiji restoration, and Japan felt they had to expand or else they would be colonized like other Asian countries.

@@robertwatson9359 You are correct about MacArthur. He even convinced Giormly. He wanted nothing to do with Guadalcanal because he was not in command. Mac Arthur wanted to command the entire Pacific Theater. Most of MacASrthur's combat forces in 1942 and much of 43 were Australian. The person responsible for Guadalcanal was Adm. King. Who unlike MacArthur had one semi-ready division--the First Marine Division. Of course, Nimitz, Halsey, and Vandergrift masterly executed King's orders, but King was the driving force behind Guadalcanal.

After Pearl Harbor harbour dec-7 on its way back to Japan why did not adm. Yamamoto swund by and captured Mid-way?? Would be a of cake for Yamamoto! Hence would kept us pacific fleet at bay!

Mac Author was a good general to some, but he had zero contributions to the island hopping compain, other the new Guinea and the Philippines, besides the fact that the army has zero control over the Marines that falls to the navy and Nimitz

Great footage but far too many simple mistakes for me to list.

Very poor research. MacArthur had nothing to do with Guadalcanal. It was a In fact a Navy/Marine operation. In fact, he opposed the whole Guadalcanal action. The initial landing on Guadalcanal was unopposed, They did not get to the airfield until the second day.

At midway, the Japanese only knew of one Carrier, not 3.

Some serious mistakes in this overview. I mean, I haven’t seen such a miss on the naval battle of Leyte. Center force was attacked first, Musashi sunk, Center force retreats. The southern force was not attacked by planes but by USN surface units including PT’s, destroyers, cruisers and battleships (many of the Pearl survivors). Then, the following morning, Halsey took the bait on the northern force while Kurita brought the center force back thru san bernardino straight into Leyte. But for real, how can you just skip over the battle of Samar / Taffy 3??? Not to mention the lack of insight into the incredible naval battles of Guadalcanal. Very strange you missed all of this.

For Americans the war began with Pearl Harbor

Naval battles using aircraft carriers, sea born planes changed naval tactics. No more large battle ships, cruisers with large guns like at the Battle if Jutland in WW1. Instead in WW2 Japanese planes strike at Pearl Harbour bombing the US capital ships, destroying planes at the outlying US airbases. But luckily for the US the aircraft carrier fleet was not there. It was at sea proforming fleet exercises. To me a classic case of "There but for the grace of god go I". So the carriers survived. While Japanese airforce carry on destroying US airforce planes such as in the Philippines then attack the island. Another change in warfare is support of ground troops by aircraft. Overall airplanes can not only attack on land but at sea.

Why have they blurred out what needs to be seen? What are they trying to teach when the whole truth is not shown? I really hate when someone thinks they have the power to make decisions for me or anyone else and diminish the real truth.

War Stories, can’t you NOT colorize ? The document would look better in b/w

There is no such thing as extreme nationalism.

Both sides' racism caused them to underestimate the other's fighting ability. For example they each thought that the other had inferior eyesight (as a race) and therefore would make bad pilots. How could educated people in authority with responsibility for the security of their nation make decisions based on cliches and propaganda rather than facts?

It was Chester Nimitz who organized the island hoping campaign in the central and northern pacific, including Alaska. MacArthur was only a coward, blood thirsty, arrogance, high ego general who ran away from the Philippines. He "returned" to the Philippines was with full support of Nimitz. Imagine he was so "disappointed" and angry that the airforce dropped actomic bombs and ended the war. He wanted to invade Japan by land and prepare to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of young Americans so he can claim glory. History has been too kind to him!

Yeah it might be the complete history of America Vs Japan but it's not the complete history of the Pacific Theatre as it says in the title, far from it. Didn't hear anything about the Kokoda Track or the battles of Buna, Gona or Sanananda once the Australians pushed them back off the Kokoda Track? Port Moresby, Milne Bay, Finschhafen and Lae and Borneo and all the rest? And the first defeat of the Japanese on land was the Battle of Milne Bay in New Guinea, Google it. Even KZread doesn't understand the spelling of these places giving me error messages with the spelling lol???
