Hey guys, this is actually the second time posting the video =( since it was blocked first time around! Please leave comments/like and subscribe this took a lot of effort to create!
For an even deeper look at the financial underpinnings of Japan's rise to prominence as a modern military power during the span of history covered by your informative video, check out a book titled: 'Empire of the City: The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde nature of the British Government'. Published in 1945, it was researched and written by an American Great War veteran who became disillusioned by the stated reasons America entered that conflict.
Little-known history. President Theodore Roosevelt sailed the American fleet around the world in 1907, two years after the Battle of Tsushima. The fleet consisted of 16 battleships and was named the Great White Fleet. The fleet called at Yokohama Port in Japan on October 18, 1908. The purpose of the US fleet's visit to Japan is to show off the strong military power of the United States and draw concessions from the Japanese government on the immigration issue that has already caused anti-Japanese riots on the west coast of the United States. It also aimed to prevent Japan's victory over the white nation from adversely affecting colored races in the United States, especially blacks, and to make Americans aware of the need for increased military spending. The later Pearl Harbor had already begun around this time.
I'm so glad you're doing the Meiji Era of Japan. Your videos are so informative and engaging with the visuals. I've learned so much history in 30 minutes it's amazing. Thank you so much for exploring such a rich part of history for Japan!
Great content and info, but omg slow down lol. I know you want to fit a lot in (you do great) but at times you went so fast i felt as if I were at an auction. Still I'm very appreciative for you good work!
Enjoyed the video very much. It included much of the details and aftermath that some books often omitted when explaining the topic. More videos like this please ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you! There will be a short video on the Xinhai revolution next, but following that would be a pretty in-depth look into WW1 in Asia and how China/Japan played their roles.
I had a history class on the Russian revolution and also touched on the russo Japanese war but only to small extent so thanks for giving me all the details. Also everytime you say hello there I want to say general kenobi...
Finally someone gets the reference. I say it every episode lol! I even edited Kenobi jumping down in one episode, but my editor (cough gf) thought it was "too childish" Haha!
I’m always on the lookout for new history content & you nailed it. Great work! Not going to lie though, you should really think about downloading Audacity and removing that background static from your audio. Other than that, your content is awesome.
It's a shame that the Russo-Japanese War isn't a well known part of history as it's really a fascinating topic and an important domino that led to the Great War and beyond
I was just finishing "Rising Sun and Tumbling Bear" by Connaughton, and was looking for a visual aid, and BOOM! There he is! Great job on the video, as usual.
I’ve your channel. I’ll be going through and watching all these videos. It’s gonna take me a long time but thank you for creating this excellent knowledge base.
I'm curious about Japanese logistics and supply during this time. Were they already producing sufficient numbers of arms and ammunition for this war? Or how much of the Japanese arms and ammunition had to be bought from other countries?
Britain and the United states were financially backing Japan, while France and Germany backed Russia. Japan was purchasing some ships from Britain, but they manufactured their own rifles, munitions and such. By the end of the war both Russian and Japan were verging bankruptcy, however Russia simply could have borrowed more and gone on longer. In other words Japan's logistical capabilities brought her to a halt after she won at Mukden/Tsushima.
Interesting. I like the channel and have studied history for over 20 years. I've always disliked how the Russo-Japanese War is not looked at enough. Where did the video come from? Is it from the Japanese drama series Saka No Ue No Kumo? Is it other material as well?
Yes I used Saka No Ue No Kumo and also the film "the battle of port Arthur". The series was particularly useful as its the only material I think covers most of the land battles =)
I used Saka No Ue No Kumo (Japanese mini series) and the film "the battle of port Arthur". The mini series is honestly incredible, but hard to get your hands on.
You got it wrong. Wilhelm II was 1st cousin to George V of Britain (Willhelm's mother and George's father were sister and brother.) George and Nicholas II were cousins, their mothers being sisters. Nicholas and Wilhelm were not closely related. Some modern British authors get that wrong too.
The information is good, the issue for me is you talk too fast to the point where you sound out of breath, and have trouble annunciating, and sometimes your sentences are cut off at the end in the editing. You are trying to say in one minute what should be said in five. Also while the movie clips are great visuals, they are rather jarring when sped up, I would recommend slowing them to normal speed unless that is causing you to be hit with the banhammer. I criticize not to be a hater but because I see what could be an AMAZING documentary. If you got to stretch a 30 minute video to be an hour so be it, that means I got more video to enjoy. It's frustrating like I have been presented with a fine wagyu steak, only to be told that I must scarf it down in five minutes without taking the time to savor and take in the taste.
Everything you say is true. I was so pressed to shorten it time wise that it hurt the quality. I learnt from this episode and wont make the same mistakes. If I could go back in time I would have made 2 episodes 20-30 minutes each.
@@ThePacificWarChannel Personally, I wouldn't mind sitting down for a much longer video. And the praise in the comments is well earned. Not to mention I wished there were more documentaries on this specific war. I really think you should revisit the topic sometime in the future! Part of my deciding on what topic to pick for a paper I'm going to work on is, checking out some documentaries. I'm still torn on whether I'd cover the Sino or Russo Japanese war. I'm going to subscribe, since you got really good information, and I'm doing my master's degree on Modern Japanese military history.
The fact that Russia denied an amazing deal of Manchuria, for Korea…. Is just Fcking boggling. -Russia keeps its warm water port. -It can secure the protection of its railway. -Also just get way more land. Only down side I see is they don’t get to use the mountains as a defensible border in North Korea. But that’s it…
Great video! Thanks (I think Teddy should have been less sympathetic to Russians during the peace conference. After getting their asses kicked they had little bargaining chips.
Yes you are right they were not all first cousins Wilhelm’s mother was the sister of George’s father; George’s mother and Nicholas’ mother were sisters from the Danish royal family. All three men were also fifth cousins, being equal descendants of King George II of England. Wilhelm and George were first cousins, George and Nicholas were also first cousins, and Wilhelm and Nicholas were third cousins.
Long story short,When the Russian bear doesn't have its unnatural winter to hide behind i.e. napoleon ww 2 ,they get their ass kicked. They definitely aren't world conquers.
Well, the Japanese only had to fight near its main supply base. The Russian literally had to travel thousands of kilometers to reach the battlefront. Russian reinforcements was greatly delayed by the British closing the Suez Canal to the Russians. Without that delay, Japan would have been screwed.
Well done program about another senseless war where many died, children lost their family members, and people everywhere made money. The same stuff is occurring in Ukraine right now. Other wars being planned in Asia. Pray for peace.
Maybe his story could be interesting ... but only if he would speak much more quickly. And, oh yeah: when he uses those little figures to represent all of those ships --- particularly during the battle sequences, like that at Port Arther --- he should NOT USE different colors so as to differentiate the opposing sides; rather, he should have ALL of them the same dull gray color. Hope this helps. [Click OFF! Unsubscribe!]
It would be better if you didn’t try flying through this. Speak more interesting . It sounds like your trying to do a speed report so you can make it to the bar by 6:00 when all the boys arrive for drinks. This sounds terrible. The detail is good but man your oral ability must be computer voice driven.
Not anymore. The Communist Chinese are the new rulers of the Pacific. If the free world had any sense at all they’d strangle the Communists economically while there’s still time.

Warm water ports are more addictive than crack
At least for the Russians. This is also why the Russian Federation annexed the Crimea in 2014. They just can't help themselves.
That why you don't put them on a pedestal.

Thanks a lot, you are an expert with class, and very capable to narrate events
just if possible, not so fast
نحبكم 🇸🇦العرب 💚😊 We Love you,,, Excellent show👍
Yay! 💕
I didn't get it to watch it the first time, I'm very grateful that you re-uploaded it, this is easily one of my top five history channels! 💕🥰💕
Thank you very much, fingers crossed I wont get slammed again XD

What film is the clips from? Thanks for the great episodes which I’m going through them all in order. 👍🏻
I used Saka No Ue No Kumo (Japanese mini series) and the film "the battle of port Arthur" for most.
I never understood “crossing T” maneuvering until I saw it animated in this video. Excellent visuals and great video 👍
Well done!
0:35 an African gray parrot? Such a cute bird.
Yup, if only she would say "please subscribe" on demand! XD
It sounds like the narrator is trying to win a speed reading contest. Had to end it early.
I’ve your channel. I’ll be going through and watching all these videos. It’s gonna take me a long time but thank you for creating this excellent knowledge base.
you are speed reading, you need to slow down, and have some vid clips as your pauses. That will allow you to slow down, and change your voice.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. MAYBE YOU CAN DO ANOTHER VIDEO DEPICTING ALL THE WEAPONS USED BY BOTH SIDES DURING THE WAR.
There's an awesome music about the battle of Mukden : On the Hills of Manchuria
Please make a detail video about Battle of Shaho (Russo-japan war).
How many battles between people have been started by a third person with no intent of providing any backup at all.
Too many acronyms and way too fast to process. Enjoyed the parts i could keep up with though 👍 Great story
Great research, but it was too fast. A real struggle to follow.
Muy bueno el documental... especialmente interesante el fina,donde se trata el tema de la negociación de los tratados de paz,que no conocía
What is with the speed talking develop a cadence
I enjoyed this video but the narrative speech was a bit too rapid in my opinion.
Great doc!

@@ThePacificWarChannel Thank you. I have only seen a bit of The Battle Of Port Arthur. I'll have to watch that.
what movie did you get those clips from? great video
Ty! The two main sources were the series " Saka No Ue No Kumo" and the film "the battle of port Arthur".
Such a great strategy Japan set
I always found it amusing when the sped up Clouds over the Hill footage appeared
Battle of port arthur movie by japan
Hi, what movie was used (intro) in this awesome episode? Cheers
I used Saka No Ue No Kumo (Japanese mini series) and the film "the battle of port Arthur". The mini series is honestly incredible, but hard to get your hands on.
@@ThePacificWarChannel Cheers and Thanx for the info.
Please-slow down. (Really hard to follow when you speak so fast….Only criticism :)
A very handsome narrator indeed

It is good to see more channels on the Far East.
Brilliant
1:13 At that time, the Kuril Islands were Japanese territory under the Treaty of St. Petersburg (1875).
Time to dive in.
Too fast, slow down, I can’t keep up. Please slow down, I just can’t comprehend fast enough, sorry I have to find a slower speaker.

Wow, well done sir. Have you thought about getting a cat though?
But the czar and the kaiser were not cousins? They had George V as a common cousin but they were not related between themselves.
Yes you are right they were not all first cousins

@@ThePacificWarChannel Oh, so they were related. Thank you for clarifying.
Talking so damn fast its hard to keep up and even understand some of what your saying...
Commentary way too fast - play at 0.75 speed
Haha agreed, tried to fit too much in little time
Wow you speaking so fast eventually I couldn't understand what you were saying...!❓❓❓❓
You said Tsushima wrong btw
When will people learn that Chinese words with an "A" are pronounced as a short "A" ("ah"), not a long "A" ("Ay")?
When will ppl learn to make constructive comments-instead of snarky ones?
War is Hell
Russian generald were so incompetent. Renenkampf, Samsonov, Stoessel etc
General Fok....Fok'd up.
Long story short,When the Russian bear doesn't have its unnatural winter to hide behind i.e. napoleon ww 2 ,they get their ass kicked. They definitely aren't world conquers.
They prefer to rule by proxy. Besides, their own country is so vast(and impoverished) that long campaigns in foreign countries are not possible.
Well, the Japanese only had to fight near its main supply base. The Russian literally had to travel thousands of kilometers to reach the battlefront.
Russian reinforcements was greatly delayed by the British closing the Suez Canal to the Russians. Without that delay, Japan would have been screwed.

Yes, it was horrific for both sides and especially Chinese civilians
