Japanese Refused to Surrender (July - September 1945) World War II

Ойын-сауық

After years of fighting in Europe, the war in the Pacific was far from over. The Japanese leadership, influenced by their cultural values, refused to surrender, even as the tide of the war turned against them. President Truman faced a difficult decision: continue the costly land campaign in Japan, or pursue a faster end to the war. Ultimately, he authorized the use of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in massive destruction and loss of life.

    My grandfather was kidnapped in the Philippines during the Japanese American war 😢 😭 and he was never found after that... my grandma and my mom escaped along her 2 younger siblings & they walked miles & miles away during the war, wearing white clothes and carrying whatever they can to move away from their hometown to another not to be killed and raped by the Japanese soldiers. It took them 4days to do that to be in a safer place away from the war zone. According to my mom, she was 4 years old when it happened & she still vividly remembers how horrific it was and never wished to experience it for our next generation. 😔

    My fear is I go move to Manila and the Chinese invade Philippines like Japan did in WW2 and I end up in a China camp. I hope I can get a gun and fight China if they invade PI as I would rather die KILLING them than to die in a prison camp.

    Those were horrific times. I'm so sorry you Did not get to know your grandfather. My grandfather was ex-army at the time in the US. Married with three children. As soon as Pearl harbor happened he tried to reenlist but they wouldn't take him because he was older and had a family. My uncle had enlisted when he turned 18 and 1945. He was just weeks shy of entering the Pacific theater before Japan surrendered. Those were truly horrific times. I'm not sure generations today can really understand how horrible it was for civilians. Let us pray it never happens again

    No, not well done. This is what happens when a Brit does a documentary on the pacific war is they call the invasion of the islands "Allied" then call causalties "American". He referred to the Doolittle Raid as "The Doolittle raids" as if there were more than one. He said Allies lost 37 ships in Okinawa but closer to 52 were lost and ALL U.S. ships. 147 ships were damaged, and of those 147 only one British ship was damaged by a near miss, HMS Ulster a destroyer suffered a near miss by a bomb. The title is "Japanese refuse to surrender: July-Sept 1945" but the first 1/3 of the video is a recap of the European conflict. Oh..and badly mispronounces Archipelago 28:57 I stopped watching about 2/3 of the way as there are plenty of ACCURATE documentaries out there to watch.

    Let us not forget the primary motivation for use of the first atom bomb was driven by the U.S. military’s estimation that invading the home Japanese islands would result in no fewer than 500,000 American deaths. As this estimated death toll was unacceptable, use of the atomic bomb seemed all the more logical as the best alternative.

As it was, the bombs didn't cause any more casualties than a couple of our firebombing raids would have, but helped persuade the Emperor to order a surrender. My point was that the bombs were a factor in saving far more Japanese lives than American. The documentation of the period reveals that Japanese casualties were also a factor because our military planners were afraid that we would have to destroy the entire country.

The book came out in the early 70's and the author noted in the last paragraphs, that while watching the start of a Tokyo baseball game on the Emperor's birthday, the whole of the stadium rose up and give three very loud and very patriotic banzais. He stated there was no doubt in his mind that in 1973 Japan would have no problem finding any number of young pilots who would be willing to give their lives and crash their jet fighters into an enemy,

    Propaganda, but NOT History, has led us to believe that the Empire of Japan began its territorial expansion in the 1930’s, invading China, creating the puppet State of Manchukuo and “Provoking” the war with the Western Powers. But, Was this really, how events happened? Did Japan invade China and South East Asia? It seems so. However, the Propaganda does NOT say that for centuries, all Asia was invaded by Western Powers. England occupied India, Burma (Myanmar); Borneo, Sumatra, Singapore, Malaysia and China (Hong Kong, Nanking, Shanghai, etc). France dominated all Indochina. The Netherlands intervened by the Force of its Arms, to all of Indonesia. And Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and of course, also the United States were in South East Asia cuz, for example this country, the US, occupied the Philippines since 1898. (Spanish-American War). Thus the panorama in the 30's, the Empire of Japan, when defeating to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it also decided to "Grow" by invading its neighbors. In those years, all European nations had colonies in Africa, India, the Middle East, Asia and America. (England came to occupy almost ¼ part of the planet). For its part, the US, in 113 years of existence as a nation in those years, had "Grown" 711 the size of its territory from its original 13 colonies. Now is the picture clear? Japan for its part, had fought on the side of the winners in World War I (1914-1918), and they, the Japanese, not awarded any "Gain". The western victors of WWI divided the world. Japan was excluded. Thus, Japan's motives for attacking and expanding as the Europeans and the US did seem clearer, right? Then they, the Japanese, attacked China in 1931, which was occupied by 6 Western Powers for almost a century. None of the Western Powers occupying China at this time, OPPOSED or fought Japan for Invading China. NONE! Then, 11 years later after having occupied the territory of China and coexisted without any problem with the Western Powers within China, they, the Japanese, attacked Hawaii, which in turn, this Island had been occupied and annexed by the US in 1898. (In 1900-01, Hawaii became US territory and Hawaii ceased to be an independent nation after more than 630 years of sovereignty. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had just completed the 40th anniversary of the military occupation and annexation of Hawaii). They, the Japanese, attacked Singapore, which was then a Colony of England. They, the Japanese, attacked the Philippines, which were occupied by the US and whose Gov’r, Douglas MacArthur reined as Emperor. Yup… Truly like an Absolute Autocrat. Therefore, the Japanese did NOT attack (In the 40’s), Singapore, Burma, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Timor, the Philippines, etc. In reality, the Japanese attacked England, France, Belgium, Holland, the US, etc. That is, the Japanese attacked the Western Powers invading all of Asia. That is the verifiable truth. The Empire of Japan didn’t invade. Japan fought against the Invaders. But, Propaganda has made us believe that the good guys were us, the US. And of course… Nanking was a horrendous Genocide committed by Japan, but, it was no more horrendous than the 12 Genocides committed by the United States in his History and all over the world. Nor was it less horrendous than the Genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium, in Central Africa. Nor was Nanking more or less horrendous than the Genocides that the British Empire committed in America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, India and also in China too. In the Philippines (1898-1902), the US Army produced a Genocide of One Million people dead. And now, the Japanese are our friends and allies... Yup… But, to fight against China, AGAIN!!! Well… No More. No More British Malaya nor British Borneo nor British wherever. No More French Indochina. No more Dutch Indies. No More Portugese Domains. No More US Domain here. Asia is for Asians and “The China Sea” belongs to CHINA. Westerns powers have nothing to do in Asia. NOTHING!!!

    I lived in Germany for 12 years from 1981-1993. I was stationed primarily in the Würzburg/Schweinfurt area and had a close relationship with a former girlfriend and her family. In an ironic twist of fate, her father was assigned to the Atlantic Wall in Normandy when my father ferried troops to Utah Beach on his LCM. We spoke very candidly about German society, how it was very common for German citizens to spy on one another, and how my girlfriend's late father, who was Polish, was conscripted into German Army. At the time, her father was given two options: Serve in the army or he and his family would be guests of the "Final Solution".

    Gosto Muito dos Documentários sobre as Guerras que já aconteceram ao longo da História da humanidade, desde as mais Antigas quanto as mais recentes, Como ex: guerras Napoleônicas, a Primeira Guerra Mundial 1914 - 1918, As Grandes Batalhas nas guerras do Império Romano, as Conquistas e Vitórias de Alexandre o Grande, as Batalhas nas Guerras do Império de Genghis Khan. na América do Sul tivemos duas Guerras Importantes a Guerra das Malvinas em 1982 e a Guerra do Paraguay em 1864 - 1870. OBS: muitas foram guerra civil entre o próprio povo, as mais Conhecidas e estudadas guerras civis da História são a Guerra civil Americana 1861 - 1865, a Guerra civil Russa 1918 - 1921, e a Guerra civil Espanhol 1936 - 1939 que foi um tipo de "ensaio" ou preparação para a Segunda Guerra Mundial. No Brasil tivemos várias a mais marcante delas foi a Guerra dos Farrapos 1835 - 1845. Enfim são muitas Guerras e Conflitos entre Nações que já aconteceram. Gosto de ler livros, e TUDO sobre estas Grandes Guerras, e assistir a Muitos Documentários sobre elas. Mas sem SOMBRA de DÚVIDAS nenhuma destas guerras entre Nações que já aconteceram, chama tanta atenção e Curiosidade, tanto dos Historiadores quanto das pessoas Comuns, quanto à ( Segunda Guerra Mundial ) pois além de ser uma Guerra que envolveu uma boa parte dos Países do Globo, seja de forma Direta ou Indireta, ela mudou o Curso da História em muitos Sentidos, vou citar só às ( 5 Cinco ) Principais. (1°) antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial, as Maiores Potências mundiais inclusive Militar, eram Inglaterra, França, e Japão, Mas depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial a MAIOR Potência econômica e Militar do Planeta passou a ser os Estados Unidos, sendo a Maior potência até hoje. OBS: a Alemanha só se tornou de Novo uma Grande Potência militar e Econômica somente alguns anos antes da Segunda Guerra mundial, com a Chegada de Adolf Hitler ao Poder em 1933. (2°) logo após os Estados Unidos ter se Consolidado como a Maior potência Econômica e Militar, logo depois da Guerra o idioma ( Inglês ) passou a ser Considerado o idioma mais importante naquele momento no mundo e continua até os dias de Hoje. (3°) O Dólar Americano passou a ser usado como uma moeda mundial valendo muito, em praticamente todos os Países e continua até os dias de Hoje. (4°) após a Segunda Guerra Mundial a influência nos países do Globo, passou a ser disputada entre duas Potências mundiais, de um lado liderando o Bloco Capitalista os Estados Unidos. do outro liderando o Bloco Socialista ou Comunista como preferem chamar alguns, a União Soviética q emergiu como uma Grande Potência após a Guerra. (5°) após a Segunda Guerra Mundial foi criada em 1947 a ( ONU ) Organização das Nações Unidas, que tinha como Principais Objetivos criar leis e regras rígidas no mundo tais como Comércio, migração de pessoas a outros países, entre outras coisas; mas o Principal Objetivo da criação da ONU era o de impedir novas Guerras, Sempre buscando em Primeiro lugar o Diálogo entre as Nações, mas caso o Diálogo não funcionasse a ONU tbm criou diversas leis para EVITAR ao máximo Guerras, e TODOS os países tinham que seguir estas leis. Mas uma coisa q NÃO entendo até Hoje e não entra na minha cabeça de jeito nenhum, É, Porque a "História" insiste em reconhecer a França como um dos Países Vencedores da Segunda Guerra Mundial? Pois isso É uma Grande MENTIRA ensinada nas escolas, Faculdades, livros, revistas, Documentários, e etc.. sendo que o próprio estudo da Segunda Guerra Mundial através dos livros, revistas, artigos de Historiadores imparciais, e até nos Documentários nos ensina diferente ou Seja que a França foi na Verdade Derrotada pela Alemanha Nazista em menos de Seis Semanas. logo após a Derrota os Franceses foram humilhados pelos Alemães que os obrigaram a assinar os termos da Rendição no MESMO Vagão de Trem, que a Alemanha tinha assinado sua derrota na Primeira guerra mundial anos antes. Que humilhação! Entre as exigências Absurdas exigida pelos Alemães aos Derrotados Franceses, era de que eles criassem um Governo Colaboracionista, inclusive com a França entregando todos os Judeus recidentes no País, Sem contar q a França foi Dividida em duas zonas de influência uma Controlada pelos Nazistas Alemães, e a outra "Controlada" pelo Governo Colaboracionista da França. Portanto colocar a França como uma das Potências Vencedoras da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Não É apenas um Absurdo e "piada sem graça". mas também uma Afronta à própria História q nos Mostra os ( EUA, a URSS e a Inglaterra ) como os VERDADEIROS Vencedores da Segunda Guerra Mundial. a França até hoje deveria agradecer de Joelhos, a Inglaterra e Principalmente os EUA e URSS pela Vitória. Portanto NÃO entendo porque que ainda a Maioria dos livros, Documentários e etc.. insiste nesta Grande MENTIRA em colocar a França como uma das " potências" vencedoras, se ironicamente os próprios livros e Documentários sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial nos mostra a Verdade de forma contrária ao que está sendo mostrado, pelo menos nesta questão dos Países Vencedores.

    After Hiroshima was bombed the Japanese High Command refused to believe that one bomb had devasted the city and resolved to continue fighting. The allies went ahead with their preparation for the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. The decision was made to drop the second bomb, the primary target - Niigata was selected, but as it turned out was spared because it was obscured by cloud. The secondary target - Nagasaki, was bombed. The High Command still refused to accept one bomb had destroyed the city. The Emporer told them to face reality - that if one bomb had destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then there was no point in continuing the fight and surrender was the better option. Those two bombs saved unknown lives - and all of us whose father's, grandfather's - for the younger generations, are indirectly survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because they would have been involved in the operations required to invade, and occupy Japan. Estimates vary of the number of casualties the allies would have suffered, but it is around 1,000,000 - one million men! Incidentally if the Japanese had not surrendered then Kokura was to be bombed next!
