When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they were hoping to get the aircraft carriers, but they were out away from Pearl Harbor at the time. A video about Pearl Harbor would be good.

I get that you're not history buffs, but if there's one war that's important to know about, it's WWII. The consequences of that war still directly affect the world today. It's good that you took these first steps in learning more. I hope you continue.

Even today, WW2 stands as the most significant event in setting the world order. Most impactful event of the last 100 years.

And fun fact, when Patton heard about the 101st airborne message to the Germans he said "Push on commander a man that eloquent as to be saved"

The US officially didn't join the war until the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. What the episode is showing by having a US flag in Canada is, a lot of US soldiers and pilots went to Canada to get around a bunch of neutrality agreements and fought as Canadians, a few went and fought in the Battle of Britain.

Japan didn’t surrender after Germany did so because they knew the war was lost but they needed some kind of leverage for peace talks. For them, unconditional surrender was the worst case scenario. Instead, if they could continue to fight and continue to inflict damage on the Allies, it might make them more open to some kind of conditional surrender where Japan could salvage at least some of it’s pre-war military and governmental structure.

@@GT-mq1dx imagine the Japanese seeing that photo of MacArthur towering over the emperor. I can’t think of something more earth-shattering for a Japanese citizen at that time than that.

During my time in the Marines, I was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan in 2003-2004. One of the first things they did was about a week of orientation about Japan. It included a trip to Hiroshima where the first Atomic Bomb was dropped. We visited the Peace Memorial Museum, basically focused on the affects of the Atom Bomb being dropped over the city.

You should watch a video on the Navajo code talkers! Also it didn’t mention it, but all of the Western Hemisphere countries (North and South America) joined the Allies and Brazil was instrumental in the Italian Campaign when they sent 25,000 soldiers to fight. Mexico also sent a squadron of fighters to the Philippines to help the United States and Australia push the Japanese out. It also didn’t say this but Japan actually took over the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, until they were kicked out by the Americans and Canadians. Japan also did hit and run attacks on the American West Coast. Love y’all’s vids so much ❤

Tobruk: The commonwealth soldiers were able to hold out for so long because Tobruk was a port city and Britain essentially controlled the Mediterranean sea. They could get supplies and reinforcements in pretty easily, while the Afrika Korps was supposed to be supplied by Italian shipping from Italy and France. A lot of those ships were getting sunk by the Royal Navy and aircraft operating out of the island of Malta. What made it through had to land in Tripoli and then get driven in trucks to the front lines because there wasn't a continuous railway line along the North African coast. Those trucks were also subject to air attack for most of their journey back and forth. By the time the Germans and Italians were fighting in Egypt, their supplies had to travel over a thousand miles to get to where they needed to be. Rommel wanted to take Tobruk not just because it was a thorn in his side, but also because he desperately needed the port facilities to shorten his supply line by about half. As terrible as it is that six million Jews died in the holocaust, it should always be remembered that they weren't the only people who suffered, and they didn't suffer the worst. That dubious honor goes to the Russians, who lost somewhere around eleven million people in concentration and forced labor camps. Not so fun fact: In the British Channel Islands, where you live, the Nazi's Organization Todt sent a lot of Russians as forced laborers to build the German's defenses when they occupied the islands. There were other ethnic groups too, but the Russians were treated the worst and there were a lot of deaths among them.

The Japanese didn't give up when the rest did for something many people today sadly have little of. Honor. There are a few instances of Japanese solders still acting as if the war never ended because they were never relieved of duty. Like Hiroo Onoda, he was an Imperial Japanese Army intelligence officer who fought in World War II and did not surrender at the war's end in August 1945. After the war ended, Onoda spent 29 years hiding in the Philippines until his former commander travelled from Japan to formally relieve him from duty by order of Emperor Shōwa in 1974. He held the rank of second lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army.

Very impressive but heart breaking and gut wrenching movie. You will surprised by who plays Private Ryan. Relating to the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific, you should definitely watch the "Flags of Our Fathers", an excellent movie that was directed by Clint Eastwood.

I do have a couple of suggestions: 1) A reaction to a Pearl harbor video would be great; 2) A reaction to the oversimplified cold war would be great; 3) I do think you tend to miss quite a few important bits when you talk over the video, so it might be helpful to just pause first and THEN say whatever you want to say, and even then go back 3 seconds or so, so as not to miss important things, especially since the narrators talk pretty quickly on these videos. Also, 4) You are absolutely not stupid. I think you're awesome.

No doubt he would have been part of an invasion if the Japanese had not surrendered. So when people say the bomb wasn't necessary I have to disagree.

a great quotation that illustrates the scenario in the Pacific in WWII: "In 1944 alone the Americans launched a force that rivaled in strength the [Japanese] Combined Fleet of December 1941. Such was the scale of American industrial power that if during the Pearl Harbor attack the Imperial Navy had been able to sink every major unit of the entire U.S. Navy and then complete its own construction programs without losing a single unit, by mid-1944 it would still not have been able to put to sea a fleet equal to the one the Americans could have assembled in the intervening thirty months."

Watch the movie, Saving Private Ryan. It accurately portrays the American landing on the beaches Of Normandy. It's pretty gruesome but accurate.

In the siege of Tobruk, the Australians held out while the RAF provided air support as they were able and the Royal Navy regularly ran the German and Italian blockade to bring in supplies and reinforcements and take off the wounded. "If I had to take hell, I would use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it." -Erwin Rommel.

People argue about the use of the atomic bomb , but an estimate at the time was that the invasion of Japan would have resulted in about 1 million allied casualties and 5 million Japanese. Had the Japanese not surrendered an invasion would have included the use of more atomic bombs, maybe a lot more. The Japanese leadership had promoted the ideal of it being better to die than surrender and had convinced people that they were going to be tortured, raped, and murdered if they surrendered - which is essentially what happened to the Chinese people when the Japanese invaded.

Hitler wanted every German die before he did. The Japanese were willing to also sacrifice their entire population to defend their Emperor The movie ""Emperor" covers the immediate post war period well.

Tobruk is on the coast, so the Aussies could be re-supplied by sea.

During the time Germany invaded the Soviet Union, look up "Night Witches" - very interesting part of overlooked history.

He hasn't said anything about how the US supplied all the allies and Russia with arms, tanks, planes, clothing, food, and ammo after we got involved. We took all our auto industry, steel mfg, boat mfg, etc and had them build planes tanks boats armor ammo etc at a fever pace. 1000 tanks, 1000 planes, ships, thousands of artillery pieces, etc.

I was born in Germany and adopted by Americans. My biological father was 10 when the US came through his village in 1945 and my adopted father served in North Africa for the US (until he was pulled to go to medical school as the US Army was short of doctors). My adopted fathers brother was 16 when he enlisted in the Navy and served in the Pacific Theater - he was on three separate ships that were sunk by the Japanese. A couple of my biological uncles were pulled into the Hitler Youth brigades and were captured and spent time in POW camps in France. My biological father (I found them in the early 2000's) told me about the firebombing of the nearby city (manufacturing hub) by the British; he could see the "sky on fire" was how he put it, and he was 10+ km away. Thanks for the video - it reminded me of both of my fathers who have passed away.

During Normandy the USS Texas was stationed 1200 yards off the coast shelling German positions. She was lobbing 10 14 inch shells every minute at times. Eventually on the 11th she ran out of ammo and retired to reload. when she arrived back the allies had pushed the Germans back out of her range. So she moved up to the beach as close as she could and flooded the starboard torpedo blister to list the ship to one side and increase the range of her guns at which point she began pounding German positions again. As one person put it it was like playing a game of battleship but your opponent says "I sank my own battleship, prepare to die" and then you get hit with a shell the size of a car. She was also involved in another incident where troops were pinned by a sniper they couldn't find. They just knew the sniper was on a hill nearby. Texas removed that hill from existence. Texas is in drydock now being overhauled and restored. Last of the dreadnoughts, she was the most powerful warship of her day when she was built, served in both world wars, the only battleship to serve in every theater of war in WWII.

Not sure if makes for a good format on KZread, but I would certainly recommend reacting to the series WW2 in colour (which can be watched for free on this platform). It is a few years old, but provides a very detailed account of the war from start to finish.

By the time Germany surrendered the Japanese had already lost control of the Dutch East Indies which is where Japan was getting its oil so Japan basically had no hope at that point. Plus the sheer volume of equipment and munitions arriving from the USA was absolutely staggering.

The Importance of Oil in World War II. Oil was the main reason why Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and why Japan invaded the Dutch East Indies in 1941. It was also the reason for the axis powers downfall in the closing years of the war. Germany didn't gain full control of the oil fields in the Caucasus and couldn't continue supplying their armored divisions or supply convoys after six months of offensive action. Italy didn't have enough oil to supply its naval fleet, which was mostly left sitting in port for most of the war. The Japanese had almost no oil left in March 1945, and the little they did have was loaded onto Yamato and sent on a one-way trip to Okinawa in April 1945. Yamato and most of its escorts were sunk just 100 miles off the coast of Kyushu. Over 3,000 sailors were killed. Don't underestimate the importance of natural resources in fighting a war.

I would love a reaction to Mountemayor's Pearl Harbor videos as that is the factual one about it and also, there was a movie made in 2019 called Midway which plays like a Hollywood action epic but is based in fact centered around what each person actually did leading up to and during the Battle of Midway that will explain while it entertains!

Bro, you can just hit the spacebar to pause the video

I am so glad that you want to learn more about WW II. Yes, please react to Pearl Harbor. The Pacific war would have gone much differently if, 1) the American carriers would have been in port and badly damaged or destroyed, and 2) if the Japanese had destroyed the oil reserves which were just across the harbor. You should also react to the battle of Midway which was a turning point in the war in the Pacific. The Japanese were on the offensive until Midway, but were only able to mount defensive maneuvers after Midway. I look forward to your reactions to Band of Brothers.

Both World Wars were extremely destructive and devastating especially in reference to loss of life, but for America the deadliest war we have been in so far is the Civil War. The total number of casualties is more then every other major conflict America has been involved in up until the first Gulf War, the last I checked.

also this video doesnt really touch on it too much but the soviets wouldnt have done shit without the US Lend Lease act, we gave them EVERYTHING, food, trucks, steel. Stalin himself would admit that they wouldnt have won without the American factories and supplies. Thats when they turned things around. Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy - bloodthirsty Hitlerism.” 400,000 jeeps & trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petrol products 4.5 million tons of food its the little stuff that wins the war and the classic sAying an army marches on its belly

You guys need to watch “The Pacific” after you’re finished with Band Of Brothers. It’s made by the same people and follows a similar narrative structure, but it focuses on the Pacific war with Japan. Be sure to go in with an open mind, though, because despite sharing many similarities with BoB, it is much darker, more violent and just overall more pessimistic as it focuses more on the dehumanization of war and less on the camaraderie between soldiers. Some reactors expect to see BoB in a different setting, but they’re let down by how different the show is. You’ll get more enjoyment out of it if you don’t constantly compare it to BoB.

A serious word of advice if you watch Saving Private Ryan: don't eat before watching.

If the war continued with Japan then Russia was already in China defeating them and really wanted to take part of Japan. Thankfully this did not happen, or it would be a totally different country today.

They took the country, but the Yugoslavs conducted guerrilla warfare attacks against the Germans. If you were a German soldier and sent to Yugoslavia, it was generally assumed that you being punished and that you were going on a tour that you possibly not coming back from.

A lot of people when they hear WWII they think of Nazi's and that's all. Many people don't think about how the Japanese Empire murdered 20~30million people. Solider and innocent people alike. The mass slavery of the Chinese, Koreans, and Philippine and the massacres committed to the Chinese people that it's truly on another level. What's worst is their schools more or less tell their youth that they were the victims of WWII. Today when I think about WWII my mind goes directly to the Pacific War because even know people don't see it today anymore the Japanese of then were a wicked Empire who showed little mercy. That front was truly a battle against good and evil at the time and the British fought bravely in the Pacific as well. My condolences to all the innocent Chinese people alive today who seen this war.
