There is indeed still the hereditary position of emperor of japan. Hes in charge of offering medals and awards, technically the head of the shinto religion. But the parliment does the actual ruling. Similar to england still having kings who are basically just a rich family. @ginxgin8056
@@SetaxcraftHD Thanks for the reply. The current Emperor holds the title of Emperor, but is not given the power to rule the country. In fact, he is defined as the symbol of Japan in the Constitution of Japan, which was enacted after the war. Since he has almost no political or military influence, I think he is like the Pope since he is the highest position in Shintoism.
They weren’t fighting to be the emperor. They were fighting to be the Shogun which held the real power in Japan. The Emperor is just a political figurehead that exists to legitimize that power.

***** I don't mean just history stuff, I'm talking about video games as well. They used very misleading statistics and over-generalized terms to meet a personal narrative driven by ideology instead of attempting to foster discussion and interaction. This was well over a year ago though, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to see what they're doing as a second chance.
man i remember when this was new and youtube had the function of little pop-up notes in the video, like when he said tornado and the note said "actually a typhoon"
That's where the KAmakazi myth came into play. They believed the Devine wind or Kamakazi would protect them. That's why they crashed their own planes into Americans. It was part of this super belief.

If you're going to introduce Japan's history, you should clearly state that Japan is the country that has committed the most war crimes in the world.

I used that audio clip while playing Civ V with friends once. I was Babylon, and far more technologically advanced than everyone else, so I started taking over everywhere even though we had agreed on not going to war.
"please don't kill us man"
"how about I do *anyway*"

Is it actually well researched though? I unsubscribed when they kept putting out videos that completely ruined their trustworthy image

I don't mean just history stuff, I'm talking about video games as well. They used very misleading statistics and over-generalized terms to meet a personal narrative driven by ideology instead of attempting to foster discussion and interaction. This was well over a year ago though, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to see what they're doing as a second chance.
I would not be able to understand the history of Japan without this. Thank you so much, you really helped me with making an understandable structure.
"please try this religion"

"How about you chill" - Japan.
"How about maybe YOU chill." - Russia
Why does that sound like something Putin says?
But wasn't that before Putin?
+SimplyShady That's the whole point! Let me not explain the joke, lol.
Because Putin's personality is standard Russian personality.

That's where the KAmakazi myth came into play. They believed the Devine wind or Kamakazi would protect them. That's why they crashed their own planes into Americans. It was part of this super belief.
