Not much better on our side. This portion of Chinese history is often taught in a very patriotic way which emphasize on the suffering of the people, the aggression of the Japanese and the struggle of the communist guerilla, but not so much about the Nationalist regulars. You see the CCP makes movies about the communist 8th Route Army, but rarely about the regulars.

Stirling effort mate, it does make sense to present the war from a Japanese strategic viewpoint rather than getting mired in the strategies of the Nationalists and the Communists.I also like how you grasp that the real target of Japans 1944 offensive in China was the railway transport system not just the capture of airfields alone, many historians fail to understand this. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression 1931-1945 is indeed a fascinating, misunderstood and often ignored (in the west) part of what would become WW2. Cheers

The Japanese army is not strong, but the Central Army and the Northeast Army are weak and cowardly.If the Hunan-Hubei army engaged in the war with Japan in the northeast at first, there would be no follow-up Japanese invasion! In history, the killing of Mongo Khan by Hubei army led to the split of Mongolian empire, and then it continued to defeat the Mongolian army for 50 years! Until Kublai Khan converted to Han culture and United the Northern Han Federation to establish the Yuan Empire! It is a pity that the Manchu army was defeated by the Han army every time. The Han army breached Xiangyang in the Yuan Dynasty and Xinyang in the Eight Banners of the Han nationality in the Qing Dynasty. Due to the rise of modern nationalism, the Japanese army could not recruit the Han army who had surrendered, and it was defeated by Hunan and Hubei.

Very detailed and well-made video on this topic, really appreciate it especially since this is an area that's neglected in Western media but hugely important in shaping the modern world. I hope you make more on Asia in the last century. There are a couple of details that aren't quite accurate, however (I'm an American who's read a fair bit on this topic). 1. The Atomic bombings were not done in preparation for Operation Downfall (the planned invasion of the home islands), but rather were an attempt to avoid it. President Truman in particular very much wanted to avoid the bloodshed and destruction that would result from invading Japan and hoped the bombings would be enough to "shock and awe" Japan into surrendering. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen as targets because they had some strategic value but weren't the most populous or important cities that Japan had. The bombings were about sending a message rather than inflicting damage. 2. The Japanese attack on Midway was not in response to the Doolittle Raid but rather had been planned since Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor did not go nearly as well as Japan hoped, since its main objective was to destroy or cripple American carriers, which, as it happened, weren't there at the time. So Japan sent its main fleet to Midway in the hope of hunting down and destroying them as well as taking over the air base on Midway island itself, which was quite important and would allow them to attack American targets more directly, especially Hawaii.

It's good to know there are Chinese that value Allied help during the war. However, until Chinese people are able to freely voice their mind I doubt China as a country will be perceived favorably on the world's stage. It's a shame because China seems like a great country of mostly wise people.

I am sure they knew that before the cultural revolution. Let's not forget that the China that fought so valiantly against the Japanese empire only exists now as a vestigial state in an island.

Be careful making those assumptions because China got caught in a civil war where a significant portion did not fight. The Communists had the Japanese sieged in towns and cities and controlled the countryside (majority of China).

China is a member of Allied, who contained majority of Japanese land force. You could also say without US, GB and France would be destroied by German.

Operation Ichi-Go is an operation conducted by the Japanese Army on the Chinese mainland from April 17th to December 10th, 1944 during the Sino-Japanese War. It was the last major offensive of the Japanese Army, which caused the National Revolutionary Army to be hit hard and affected during the Chinese Civil War. However, on the other hand, the United States is also mediating the conclusion of the Double Tenth Agreement with Chiang Kai-shek in order to avoid a civil war. According to a study by Barbara W. Tuchman, the results of this operation had a more significant impact on the subsequent war situation than the Japanese had imagined, and had a decisive impact on Japan's fate. According to it, Franklin Roosevelt has consistently strongly trusted and supported Chiang Kai-shek since the beginning of the war, and encouraged him in the war against Japan so that he would not drop out of the Allies in a single peace with Japan during the Cairo Conference. However, he said that he changed his mind because the front of Chiang Kai-shek collapsed due to this operation. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has not been invited to important Allied conferences ("Yalta Conference" and "Potsdam Conference") since then. According to the Stilwell document, Roosevelt said, "Can China win?" Stilwell said, "There is no choice but to eliminate Chiang Kai-shek." During the 1944 Hengyang battle, he could not sleep at night and twice. He says he thought about suicide. The American side also planned to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, and three methods of "poisoning", "aircraft incident", and "pretending to be suicide" were considered, but it was canceled in 1944 due to changes in the international situation such as Burma. The successor that the United States envisioned is Sun Fountain. As Roosevelt's Chief of Staff George Marshall and General Joseph Stilwell have long insisted, Chiang Kai-shek's army is actually a demoralized and corrupt organization that does not form an army. It became clear that he had no desire or ability to fight with the United States and other Allied forces. As a result, President Roosevelt changed the scenario of the operation against Japan from the conventional bombing of Japan and other countries from the air bases of mainland China to the one that MacArthur and others claimed to occupy the islands of the Pacific Ocean one after another. China was dismissed at the Yalta Conference, and the Allied nation's footsteps were disturbed, with angry Chiang Kai-shek presenting a peace plan to Japan against the will of the United States. The Japanese Operation Ichi-Go attack left the National Revolutionary Army with 750,000 casualties. This caused the Kuomintang to lose to the Communist Party in the civil war. China would not have been dominated by the dictatorship Communist Party if it had made peace with Japan and cooperated in protecting it from communism.
