first video of yours ive watched. im impressed at your basic background knowledge of history, so that the events in context are more meaningful to you. in simple terms you see a documentary not an action movie Bravo!

Ace is 5. We just lost "Bud" Anderson on the 17th, a triple Ace P-51 pilot with 16 kills. He was 102 years old. His Mustang was named "Old Crow".

Thank you for this, I did not know about him may he rest in peace

I’ve always been amazed at how Japan could misunderstand Americans so badly, that they thought attacking Pearl Harbor would keep us out of the war. I can’t think of a better example of not knowing your enemy. Only the man with the famous quote had any idea of who he was dealing with.❤️🐝🤗

That's very true. I think here we are dealing with a mix of endoctrination, racists bias, and a lack of understanding of the US willingness to fight. Also a lack of proper coordination between the various branches within the Japanese government, an army in pursuit of its personal agenda, and so on. Thank you very much :)

What a triple treat for me today? It's Friday, my favorite history channel watching one of my favorite content creators, could life get any better? What a story! Never underestimate marines and ticked off construction workers! I love how he tells a story, this was a time to need a morale boost and boy did they come through. Thank you as always for the video and commentary, happy Friday everyone, a safe and fun weekend

Wake Island (1942) was a great film! I watched it on DVD and it wasn't bad at all despite being made in the middle of World War II.

Thank you! I am considering doing a video on my own on Bir Hakeim :)

Wow fantastic,woke the sleeping gaint,may that just fills you with dread. Nobody came to help them,an they fought on,believing they would be killed anyway,that's a powerful motivator. An two planes against 50,unbelievable an they shot down over twenty enemy planes. This would make a fantastic movie. Also I agree with the fat electrician I would of kept the rugs too. Fantastic video again my French friend,your content is amazing.

Yes an loosing officers doesn't hinder them,they just fight harder,very impressive.

Bushido in imperial Japan after the Meiji Restoration was presented very differently than it was in feudal Japan: Whereas in imperial Japan it was very much a tool of propaganda to condition soldiers in "proper" battlefield conduct, classical bushido was more in line with the code of chivalry in Europe; it was not a code of battlefield conduct, but of conduct _period._ It included the battlefield, but also social etiquette, ritual etiquette, religious conduct, and so on. I'm sure you have in your mind of how a French knight was supposed to conduct himself whether he was on the battlefield or in the king's palace; bushido _should_ be presented like that. Additionally, something I find interesting is that Yamamoto also said after Pearl Harbor, paraphrased, "I expect to conduct myself as I please for six months or perhaps one year, but after that, defeat is all but inevitable." Six months to the day after he said that was the Battle of Midway, generally accepted as the point where the war had decisively turned against Japan.

The way I understand Bushido is that it's a generic term to describe a way of behaving for members of the same warrior class. A bit like the French chivalry, and both have been heavily romanticised and exaggerated in culture but are nevertheless based on solid facts. I really like The Shogunate's videos on the subject. Thanks for the insightful comment!

A US pilot is considered an "ace" once he or she destroys 5 or more enemy aircrafts.

Of course!

7:30 The worst Defeat and you are part of a country that has one of the strongest sentiments for "Victory or Death" the soldiers would rather die in battle then retreat especially towards the end of the war(thats the main reason for US dropping the bombs that people always conveniently leave out when talking about that subject" 9:00 yes "forced into a war" in the combat perspective but the US was supplying the allies long before japan attacked, and are also the ones that empowered japan to want to expand. I had to google to double check but Japan signed the Geneva Convention in 1929.

The imperial Japanese did sign the Geneva convention, if I remember correctly. *but they never abide with it.* Worst of all, they got away with their war crimes (thanks to America)

There is a series on Netflix about the post-war trial of Japanese officials called ‘Tokyo Trial’. Quite interesting if I remember correctly, and highlights the legal difficulties of trying high ranking officials. Plus the geopolitical stakes of quickly turning Japan back into an ally effectively. Thank you very much!
