The Chinese under Chiang Kai-Shek also had some of the most brutal fighting conditions imaginable, in addition to our boys. What's even crueller is when they failed to hold cities, the Japanese often went in and committed the worst attrocities you could ever imagine humans doing to one another ("the Rape of Nanking" being one of the most infamous).

@Ryusei Sasaki The Battles of Okinawa and Iwo Jima were so horrific specifically because the Japanese commanders forbade their troops from banzai charging. In earlier battles like Guadalcanal, Attu, Cape Gloucester, and Saipan the Japanese organized massive banzai charges against American positions resulting in the entire Japanese garrisons being wiped out. At Okinawa and Iwo Jima they built thousands of mutually supportive defensive positions, each containing only a few soldiers, forcing the Americans to individually assault each position at great loss of life.

Yes because the US cut off over 80% of their oil supply, as was the reason for the war. They had to attack and win a war against the allies before their oil reserves ran dry (6 months) after the US embargoed them following their occupation of Indochina. In their eyes, since procuring a peace treaty unfavorably would be not honorable the only choice they had was to go to war or lose the war and china and their colonial possessions.

Not to make this already fantastic vid completely overwhelming, but it would be cool to find a way to depict the US submarine campaign against Japan. US subs almost immediately took the offensive, quite amateurishly at first, much more lethally as the war went on, ultimately crippling Japan's economy and rendering all their land grabs useless as they were unable to bring any of their ill-gotten resources back home. It is interesting that Admiral Halsey, a carrier man, considered the submarine the single most important weapon in the US inventory.

A few days later, my grandma's uncle said goodbye to his new wife and joined the guerrillas with my grandpa's father. His wife waited for him for many years, and finally waited for news of his death. My grandpa's father survived the battle and lived until 2018. In his later years, he enjoyed the dividends of victory, nursing homes, medals, and pensions, but many of his comrades in arms have lain forever in that era of poverty and chaos.

It's odd to see how long after December 7th, 1941 the Japanese had pretty much the run of the Pacific. There's a tug of war over Papua New Guinea, but there is almost no headway in the islands until 1944, and by June 6th, 1944 the US had only just taken the Marshall islands. So, all the famous island campaigns - Palau, Guam, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the liberation of the Philippines, all took place between June 6th 1944 and September 2, 1945.

So by the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands in October 1942 the Japanese had again a larger carrier force. And they sank another US carrier there (reducing the carrier pacific fleet to just the Enterprise (although the Saratoga would finish repairs soon)), at the cost of half their naval aviation. The result is that by much of the following months both the Japanese and US navy carrier forces were too weak to go in the offensive. By fall 1943 the US had finished a bunch of Essex so they were able to start their island hopping campaign in force.

The video is great, however there is one thing that is under represented. The Chinese Resistance was accurately displayed, but what wasn't was the Filipino Resistance. In fact, the Filipino Resistance was so effective that by the end of the war (because the war actually ended and the peace treaty was signed while the liberation was still in progress), only 12 of the 48 provinces were controlled by the Japanese. One of the most notable things done by the Resistance is making the island of Mindoro much easier to take so the US could build airfields to gain air superiority over the Philippines. Between 260,000 and 1 million Filipinos rose up in defience against their Japanese occupiers.

This video is so good I fear that you will overtake me in subscribers and video quality. If you can maintain making videos of such quality, you will be assured success. List of errors I noticed: Shaan-gan-ning is shown as blue during the later phase of the civil war and not green, which gives the impression that it was aligned with the Nationalists. This might not be so much an error as a poor design choice. Nanchan should be spelled as Nanchang Golmud was not in any way an important location, and was in fact part of the Mongol banner system at this point and not directly administered by the Qinghai provincial government, and as such there is absolutely no reason to show it. Urumqi was not used as a name in this period, the city should actually be labelled Dihua Beijing was not the official name of the city in this period, the city should actually be labelled Beiping Guiyang is shown approximately at the actual location of Hengyang, actually the city is almost 600 km to the west of its shown location

Very well done, as far as I can tell. Even operation Oboe (the retaking of Borneo) was included. However, it is a bit confusing as to why the Filipino rebels/guerrillas/partisans are not represented. They were very active, considering Japan only exerted control of 25% of the Filipino provinces by the time of Liberation. Hundreds of thousands served, and that isn’t including groups such as the Moros, whose resistance started decades before WW2, and continued for decades afterwards. But like I said, otherwise an EXCELLENT video, which showcases many forgotten fronts and campaigns (Oboe I and II, Invasion of Manchuria, Second-Sino Japanese War, etc.)

After Midway they still secure additional ground in the Andamans and New Guinea until the Allies start the Guadalcanal campaign.

Hello dear historian. Once again, I have to correct a small mistake in Indochina. The administration was loyal to Vichy (Governor Admiral Decoux) until March 1945 and the Japanese occupation began on that date ....; before that, the presence of Japanese troops was stationing forces following a negotiated agreement between Vichy and Tokyo.

The funniest thing is that Japan provoked USSR in 1935, 1939 and all time in 1941-45 (very small but numerous border incidents). And finally USSR started a war in 1945... its ended less than months later. P.S. Its hard to say what exactly was the reason of the Japan capitulation, because 2nd nuke was dropped in the same day USSR started the war. In my opinion they capitulated mainly because they lost their field armys and influence in mainland region because of USSR, since those armies were large and pretty expirienced.

@@carl-os4603 The Kwantung Army was a shadow of its former self because most of it was pulled back to defend Japan's mainland from Allied invasion. It stood no chance against the now-experienced Soviet troops. While I have no doubt the Soviets was a pretty good factor in Japan's surrender, just about everything points to the Americans and their nukes that ended the war. Even Hirohito's speech points to the atomic bombs as the reason Japan surrendered, and plans for Japan's defence showed them almost totally focused on defending from American invasion and very little focus was given to the Soviets at all.

That's because the Japanese were focused on a war of attrition in Bataan and Corregidor until May 1942. The other US units on the central islands would have continued the fight after the surrender of Bataan and Corregidor. But Gen. Wainwright, the overall commander in the Philippines after MacArthur left for Australia, was basically taken hostage by the Japanese and forced to read an order for all US forces in the Philippines to surrender. All organized resistance ended by June 1942, but then many individual American soldiers from the central islands refused to surrender and instead formed combined American-Filipino guerilla units.

Key economists in Japan in the late 1930s, I once read, estimated that it would take Japan until the 1950s to get Manchukuo up and running as an industrial powerhouse. Japan fought all these battles and was never able to utilize many of the resources they gained. At the end, the entire Empire was lost, which they had spent generations building up. Massive mistake.

Nah if they hadn't whiffed at Pearl Harbor (missed the carriers and didnt kill the battleships) and Midway (got caught with their pants down before they found the enemy fleet), they would have won the war against the US handily and bought much more time. It came down to some tactical errors, not strategic.

@junior-fj8ud

Жыл бұрын

@@joeking5679 No, even if they'd caught the US carriers, it only would have delayed the inevitable. Three carriers were in the Pacific at the time - Enterprise (which survived the war), Lexington (lost in her first major battle at Coral Sea), and Saratoga (which was hit by a Japanese submarine, and as a result didn't fight until the Guadalcanal campaign). Yorktown and Wasp were both in the Altantic (along with the other half of the American battleships), and Hornet was just starting her shakedown cruise. As such, those three ships were out of reach of the Japanese. Further, the Essex-class had already been ordered. Work had started on Essex herself several months earlier, the second and third ships of the class were also being built, and the keels were laid on the fourth and fifth ships of the class in December 1941. Seven ships of the class were commissioned in 1943 - more carriers than had been in the IJN task force that had attacked Pearl Harbor, each carrying many more aircraft than their IJN counterparts. And many more followed over the next year and a half. By the end of the war, there would be more active Essex-class carriers alone than the entirety of the Japanese carrier arm (including the IJN's light carriers). And that's without including the Independence-class light carriers, the new Midway-class (the lead ship, Midway, was commissioned days after the end of the war), or the absolutely ridiculous number of escort carriers the Americans built. The Japanese had to win - and win decisively, as they couldn't afford an even trade of carriers - *every* time, as they could only replace their carriers very slowly. The Americans only had to get lucky once, which they did at Midway.

@@brianlong2334 Yes, anything that lasted more than a couple of years was suicide for Japan. But one of the things that the Japanese didn't realize is just how much Pearl Harbor would enrage the US population. As such, the war was always going to last longer than the Japanese had planned. Those Essex-class carriers were always going to arrive, and the Japanese were going to lose. And that would have happened even if the original Japanese plan to establish a line of island fortresses had been accomplished. Also, part of the Japanese plan required the US to stick with its current commitments to the Atlantic effort. The disastrous convoy PQ 17 operation partially soured the Americans on that, and USS Washington participated in her famous victory at Guadalcanal explicitly because she'd been pulled from the Atlantic due to American frustration. In short, no matter what happened, there was going to be a USN presence in the Pacific.

@junior737 I don't think so. The Japanese never planned to push the USA completely out of the Pacific, at least not until China had been subjugated for 30 years and indoctrinated to be basically Japanese. If every island in the Pacific was like Okinawa and Iwo Jima, I think you would find the USA Government much more likely to reach an agreement, even the unconditional surrender of the Japanese wasn't unconditional, the USA made concessions even though it claims it didn't, the reality was the Japanese weren't going to surrender enless there was. The American population getting upset was of little concern for the Japanese as they were ready to die in the tens of millions, the USA population not really in the same league for that, maybe if they were defending there home land it would be a different story, but the Japanese were unlike anyother nation in ww2 or since, they called for the glorious death of 100million Japanese and they ment it, that's why the USA drop the nukes on them, they didn't want to invade the home islands, as the estimated casualties were in the millions, something that would effect the USA economy drastically compered to how little manpower they actually lost in ww2 luckily for them, not to mention how much they made off the war and became the world dominant power. They would have fought a war more like the soviets did against Germany, something the USA didn't want. Yes, the USA industry was much bigger than the Japanese. The Japanese had and built over 700 major naval vessels, the USA 1,200. The USA built about 6,000 other ships like the liberty, the Japanese about 500. The Japanese merchant fleet was bringing in over 65 million tons of supplies to the home islands, about the same as the UK before the war with the USA, then it dropped to over 35 million tons till 1944 for the Japanese.
