18:12= Japan had spies in the Philippines for years. This actually happened to my granduncle who had a Japanese gardener in his plantation house. This gardener insisted to have Wednesdays off. Unusual request because hardly anyone wants a Wednesday off (except for physicians as Wednesdays are their golf days). When war broke out he turned out to be a captain in the Imperial Japanese Army. He summoned my granduncle to his HQ through a messenger, but my granduncle answered back by telling the messenger, "He left my employment without the courtesy of letting me know. If he wants to see me, he comes to me, not me go to him." Well that gardener turned captain paid a visit to my granduncle and my granduncle actually scolded him! My uncle claimed that since he didn't resign properly legally he was considered AWOL. The gardener apologized profusely and told his men that my granduncle's property was under his protection. I don't think my granduncle had spunk, I think he was more irritated that he lost a gardener.

Japan wanted just one thing: an Asian Empire with itself the leader. Japan is quite similar to Germany by the fact it has little resources at home. It was fearful that any blockade by its Western or Chinese foes would hurt Japan, so Japan decided to take first strike. Japan didn't invade Korea or Manchuria by nonsense - these territories were abundant in resources. When Japan conquered most of China and Southeast Asia, it was with exact reason. If it had succeeded with India, Japan would have unlimited access to resources it was so hungry to have.

​@@oliversherman2414 You have no idea! The Nazi nation committed not only this one genocide, but various genocides against Slavic nations and also against the Gypsies. The Nazi nation murdered the Slavic nations according to a special plan, the Master Plan for the East in German "Generalplan Ost". According to this plan, a large part of the population of the Slavic nations should be exterminated and a minority should be forced into forced labour. The areas that would then be "free" should be populated by Germans. The Slavs who were not murdered there should then serve the Germans. According to this plan as the first Slavic nation the Poles were murdered by the Nazi nation. With the conquest of Poland, ideas about the settlement of Poland by Germans according to Naziology should be realized according to the German Master Plan for the East. After the invasion of Poland, SS Oberfuhrer Konrad Meyer was responsible for the so-called "German reconstruction in the East", as the General Plan East was also called. Poles were systematically murdered according to this plan, such as in the "Aktion Zamość" english Operation Zamość. In the Operation Zamość tens of thousands of Polish inhabitants of the Zamość region were ethnically cleansed by the occupiers, to make space for German settlers in order to ensure Germanisation of this area. Most former polish inhabitants were deported to forced labor in Germany or in death camps such as Auschwitz, Majdanek and Bełżec. A total of 51,000 Poles! The Polish population resisted massively and many Poles fled and became partisans. The Polish partisans of this area fought in several skirmishes against the Germans and also attacked and killed the Germans who were settled in these Polish areas. The massacres of the Polish population and prisoners of war actually started in the first days of the war and were then continued during the occupation. There were extremely many massacres, which make it clear that the Polish nation was being systematically annihilated. The Wola massacre was also carried out according to this plan. Because the Wola massacre was the systematic killing of between 70,000 and 90,000 Polish civilians in the Wola suburb of Poland's capital city, Warsaw, by German Wehrmacht and special murder units! In terms of the number of victims, the Wola massacre was the largest war crime on European soil in World War II. During and after the Warsaw uprising there were various massacres in which the Wehrmacht was also involved. 500,000 Poles were deported from Warsaw after the Warsaw uprising on top of 180,000 civilian casualties. After the uprising, Warsaw was almost completely destroyed, taking part in this destruction as well Units of the German Wehrmacht. In all, about 6 million Polish citizens were murdered by the Nazi nation. Altogether the Nazi nation was responsible for the deaths of 30 million Slavs. The remaining 20 million dead were members of other European nations.

@@oliversherman2414 By the way, your comment has been deleted. Because the censors don't want you to write that this nation murdered, even if you only claim that it was only this one nation that was murdered. The censors don't want you to write they murdered 6 million and name the nation. Nor can one write that this nation has murdered 50 million. Which corresponds to historical reality. This is Germans whitewash censorship. That you believe that there was only one genocide is also wanted by the Western propaganda, which whitewashes the Germans. So the question is, why is only one genocide of the Nazi nation known worldwide and not all genocides? So why are the genocides against the many Slavic nations and the gypsies actually unknown. The reason is that the western giant propaganda machine has 2 main strategies to whitewash the Germans. The first strategy is that the crimes of the Nazi nation are systematically relativized and reduced. The second strategy is necessary because the reduction and relativization of guilt are insufficient to completely whitewash the Germans. Because only one genocide is still a terrible crime and it is not possible to completely relativize and deny the crimes. Therefore, the much more effective method of whitewashing the Germans is also used. Namely the elimination of the German nation regarding the to guilt and blaming only the Nazis. Whereby the impression is given, contrary to historical truth, that there were relatively few Nazis in Germany who were guilty. Although the historical reality was, that at least since 1935 vast majority of German followers and supporters of the German Nazi government thus they were Nazis. that was actually a complete Nazi nation! This Nazi nation was guilty of crimes, both civilians and soldiers. Even the children of the Hitler Youth murdered people. Therefore, the second strategy is necessary and the second strategy is to put all the blame on the Nazis. So the Germans are actually made by the western propaganda to victims of the bad Nazis! In the meantime, perpetrators are being made into victims by the western propaganda machine. That is why meanwhile the Western propaganda is claiming that the Germans were liberated and not defeated. This lie is also spread by Western pro-German propaganda to whitewash the Germans. I have read and heard this lie more often that the Germans were allegedly liberated. There are also videos on KZread spreading this lie about the alleged German liberation. As e.g. the title of this KZread video shows. "Liberation of Munich April 30 1945" kzread.info/dash/bejne/hKh32Mx9ZZmxm8Y.html the title is not the occupation of the German city Munich by the Americans, which would correspond to historical facts. No, a lie is being spread about liberation! An unbelievable lie in which from the victory over this evil Nazi nation with the subsequent multi-annual occupation is made a LIBERATION. By the way, in the extremely successful Hollywood movie "Captain America: The First Avenger", Stanley Tucci claims the western propaganda lie that the Nazis first occupied Germany. Yes, in this movie he really claims that Germany was the first country occupied by the Nazis. As if the Nazis were some kind of foreign invaders and not in reality the overwhelming majority of Germans. The movie has been seen by tens of millions worldwide and most of the viewer probably believed this propaganda lie, because it was probably not the first time that they had heard it. By the way, I've also been corrected by people on the internet when I reported about crimes and then wrote about Germans. Then I was corrected that it wasn't the Germans, but the Nazis. Alos because of the censorship at KZread it's very difficult to write about crimes and the Germans anyway. Because if one mentions this nation in connection with crimes, the comment will be automatically deleted. This is also part of the propaganda, because KZread is also a gigantic propaganda machine like Hollywood. By the way, writing about Nazi crimes is no problem at all. Because as already mentioned, according to the propaganda, only the Nazis committed the crimes! So writing about Nazis and crimes is not a problem. If one wants to write about the crimes of this nation and not about Nazis, one has to outwit the censorship. So because of censorship here, I use the term "Nazi nation" mostly and not Germans. It goes without saying that I mean the entire nation. I always write in between that one should not forget who the Nazi nation was. Everybody can check the censorship. Replace the term Nazis with the name of the corresponding nation in the following sentence! "The Nazis murdered millions of children." If one writes this sentence historically correct with the name of the corresponding nation instead of Nazis, the comment will be deleted when one leaves the channel. Even though it is a historical fact that the nation was responsible for the crimes, it is forbidden to write that. I could go on like this for hours and describe 1000 examples in which the Germans were separated from the Nazi guilt by Western historians / media / politicians / Hollywood etc. By the way, one also use Japan and Japanese and not the Taisei Yokusankai! Taisei Yokusanka party was the fascist party in Japan, just by the way. Nobody says the Taisei Yokusankai in relation to crimes, but of course it is spoken about the Japanese. In contrast to the Germans and instead the Nazis. So the Nazis were just a political party. The war was waged against the entire nation and not just against the political party. So It is appropriate to use the term Germans and not Nazis! But because of this propaganda that wants to whitewash this nation the term Nazis is used consistently instead of using the correct term Germans. GERMANS! In fact, Western pro-German propaganda is very consistent in using the term Nazis. The Nazis are the bad guys and the real Germans are their victims. The use of the term Nazis instead of Germans also in Hollywood movies actually serves to whitewash the Germans. The fact that the term Nazis is used instead of Germans has a reason that most people are not even aware of. This is why this German whitewashing propaganda is so very successful that most people worldwide now use the term Nazis and not the term Germans in connection with the 2nd World War. It is necessary to clarify why the term Nazi is even used for to understand all this. So it is necessary o clarify who a Nazi even was for to understand all this. Who is referred to as Nazis by western propaganda at all in this context. All Germans? Definitely not! No, the western propaganda differentiates very precisely between the evil Nazis and the other "good" Germans. The western pro-German propaganda spreads the lying myth of the few Nazis who were guilty and responsible, because it is generally concealed that the overwhelming majority of Germans since 1935 at the latest were follower and supporters of the German Nazi government, thus they were Nazis. So the overwhelming majority of Germans were since 1935 at the latest Nazis. It is concealed the fact that the vast majority were Nazis, giving the impression that it was the other way around, that contrary to historical truth there was only a relatively small minority of Nazis. So the synonym Nazi would actually be justified for this nation. BUT...the intention to use Nazis instead of German has a very specific intention. Just for to whitewashing of the Germans. Because from this lying western propaganda the myth is even produced that the vast majority of Germans were actually victims of the evil Nazis themselves and that the Nazis were just a small minority. For this reason alone they differentiate between Germans and Nazis! The propagandists even claim that the Germans were liberated in 1945. This is actually the end goal of that whitewashing campaign. Separating the nation from the evil Nazis and making the nation victims of the Nazis. This can also be seen from the fact that certain Germans are referred to as non-Nazis, such as Nazi general Erwin Rommel who was a willing tool of the German Nazi government and fought doggedly for the victory of this Nazi government. This way the Western propaganda distinguishes very conscious between the bad Nazis and the other good Germans like Rommel. It is then stated that Rommel was not a member of the Nazi party and thus he was not a Nazi. Because that's the common lie that's being spread, that only the Nazi party members were Nazis. A very useful lie. But in reality the correct definition of Nazi is supporters and follower of the German Nazi government and that was the vast majority of Germans at least since 1935 thus they were all Nazis. That was also Rommel, who made a great effort to ensure that the German Nazi government wins this war. He also benefited from his hard work for the Nazi regime and was promoted to Field Marshal. But despite this, Western propaganda and Hollywood portray him as a non-Nazi. So these historical facts are not being propagated by Western propaganda, but the lie of the relatively few guilty Nazis!

because Qing is dominated by ethics minorities the Manchus, if Qing Empire built a greay modern army, most soldiers will be Han Chineses, as long as the Han Chineses control the modern army, they will not obey to the Manchus anymore, such is the case after the Taiping rebellion, military power has fallen into Han Chinese warlords,

I would absolutely love to see this; I have listened to many podcasts related to French Revolution and later Napoleon; and they had quite a lot of ideas both within Europe and outside; a long video about all the adventures, including failed support for the Irish sister Republic, Egypt, and how they kept reorganising countries from republics into kingdoms, and eventually annexing certain places like all of the Kingdom of Holland, Catalonia from Spain, the Papal States, etc as the new departments of France. That was the last time they tried to rule Europe as during the second French Empire, Napoleon III saw European conquest as pointless, and focused more on strengthening France’s position and modernisation (even though he managed to get some Italian lands that are till this day parts of France). However even though French colonial empire (not to be confused with two napoleonic empires) existed for a long time (unlike Japanese, Italian or German), it can still be good to examine different periods (it is usually broken down into first and second colonial empire); and different colonial policies of each regimes (from kingdom of france, through revolutionary france all the way to third republic’s “civilising mission” and how uniquely they made Algeria an integral part of metropolitan france, unlike the rest of the colonies or protectorates. Plus there are many colonial ventures that have failed or never materialised, such as when Mexicans overthrown the emperor endorsed by French

Regardless of their original plans, Japanese strategy in 1942 was to isolate Australia to prevent it being used as a base for the Allied counterattack. Australia was second only to the UK as a base for American operations in WWII with around one million US servicemen passing through including virtually all of MacArthur's forces to return to the Philippines. Australia also fed and clothed US servicemen throughout the Pacific under reverse Lend Lease.

I think that Japan, since the very same moment of the creation of their nationalistic European shaped government, in which the USA had something to do, looked at this new American Empire eager to recreate the American way and the "Monroe recipe" in Japan : Asia for the Asians. They even had an Emperor to call it a true Empire and aristocratic industrial and militar elites to run it unforgivingly and direct a submissive people who should conquest a continent....or two. Russian Empire's defeat at the hands of the Japanese keeps an incredible resemblance to Spain's loss of their colonial relics by the USA some years before.

Now you say it, i find similiarity. Still the US with their Monroe doctrine play on easy mode as large portion of Spanish America have broke free so it's just a matter of sphere of influence and guarantee of independence for Americas. While in Japan's case they play on hard mode as large portion of Asia still under European yoke so they ended up in world war that destroyed their empire instead.

One note on the map, it might be an unpopular historical truth but Ukraine was part of Russia for this entire period- the map shows Ukraine as not part of Russia but oddly does include central Asian countries as part of Russia.

Honestly they should’ve gone for Hokushin-Ron. At the time Russia was just in a complete state of anarchy, and they would have easily taken out the Far East republic and whatever part of white Russia still had control of Siberia. Manchuria and menjang were a start, but also the end.

Yep there are many Japanese living in the Philippines before WW2. It is true before Japanese is everywhere before.

It is just funny (maybe not the right word) how all countries that wanted an empire are viewed by "civilized world" as bad, except the ones that actually got the empire and did atrocious things for a few centuries at least. Somehow, that is just a footnote in history and there is a disconnect with the modern countries (Portugal, Spain, UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands...) but when you talk about Germany, Japan and the like, there is no that disconnect from their past aspirations. I just hate that. You can't hear enough about a famine in USSR, or Hitler's extermination of Jews... but the UK engineered famines in India or the extermination of millions in the Kongo by Belgium, those are like "sure, those were bad, oh well". They never get the same level of response or connection to their modern day counterparts. Even though countries like USSR and Nazi Germany do not exist and have changed governments, borders, systems since... while others have a nice and stable continuation of government that likes to claim historical continuity, while acting blind towards "smelly" parts of that history. The levels of hypocrisy and double standards are baffling.

Well, you know what they say. History is written by the victors and the victors at the end of a war get to decide what was and wasn’t a war crime. Plus I also think a lot of it comes down to the fact that those Empires where so big, happened much earlier and lasted so long that it instilled a sense of superiority from the former Empires towards everyone else. Plus, there end didn’t come from being lost in a major war with another power so that probably has an impact too

@@communistdoge413 Exactly what I am talking about - the hypocrisy that lives to this day. UK, France etc. who had colonial empires that enslaved half of the world, still claim moral superiority over those who came after and tried to have the same but failed. An ordinary Brit is not looking at what his country did and what others did with the same scrutiny. Which would be fine - if he didn't claim moral superiority with it as well. Like, sure, you are free to say that your empire had the right to exists because it could. But don't act like it was a good thing and that German one was bad for trying to do the same. That is my problem. Not that either of them existed, but that the people who claim moral high ground today are not willing to apply the same principles to themselves. If a Brit came and said "We had an empire, yes, made us insanely powerful, rich and influential, and we could not allow others to it because then we would not have it." I'd say fine, that's naturalistic world view, I can respect that. But when they stick morality along with it, I am having a huge problem.
