What did you think of the episode? Let us know in the comments below! Next time will be "The First Opium War"!
I think you are confusing the British with Americans when talking about arrogance
Great episode!! Thank you
Thank you for watching! I have been very nervous about making a lot of content about China/Japan 1800-1900, did not know if people would be interested!
I have watched this like 20 times so good. I love videos about this era as there is so few.
Thank you so much
this channel is my new fav Channel. GG keep it up
Thank you so much! Also its really nice seeing comments on the video =|. I really wanted to show people how this mayhem started haha
Very informative, thanks
Hiya. Thank you for your work. Can I ask for a filmography (list of the movies featured in the clip)?
Two films: Lin Zexu (1959) and The Opium War (1997) both available on UA-cam by the way.
The more I've learned about the war in the pacific the further back in time I realize I need to step to understand the full context of what led to Japan declaring war on the United States. For instance I didn't know about the deal brokered by the United states that caused Japan to have soured relationships and how exploitative the accords were. Which led to further questions and it appears I wasn't the only one who thought this way too as this channel, literally called the pacific war channel, also realized and walked along this road. I appreciate the historical context.
These events are largely ignored in the west, but they lay the foundation for the recent historical development in the east Asia.
True! It makes me think its connected to the fentanyl epidemic chinas been formulating for years their revenge finally synthesized the opium payback !
This feels like a well prepared class presentation done by the shy kid.
Awkward jokes included.
Is it just me or does this sound familiar…. USA and the heroin addict issue(?) it’s interesting because I was just saying the worker shortage in the USA might be due to all the working age people in this sad epidemic.
Thanks you for sharing this. Very interesting!
It should sound similar and eerily shares many common themes
Cool, maybe you could review James Clavell historical novels. I always wondered how true to life they are, they seem pretty accurate
The one about the opium war time period is I think called "Tai-Pan"
I am glad you inquired about this because the way this channel will be working for awhile will be, an Episode -> Podcast -> book review (this week is a book review week). I think it would be interesting to review James Clavell works, the only one I am familiar with is Shogun. The closer my episodes get to the Meiji restoration, I think I could do a review of one of his books.
@@ThePacificWarChannel Another book, The Opium War, by highly regarded scholar Julia Lovell, is worth a read. She is fluent in Mandarin and had access to troves of Chinese sources never before seen in the west. It delivers a new narrative and analysis.
I love handsome history tellers ❤
Britain: Buy our drugs
China: No
Britain: Ok, you asked for it
*British Grenadiers intensifies*
didn't the USA invade Korea 4 years after their civil war on behalf of the railway barons
I don't think you misunderstand, but I must make it clear that Japan has never joined Chinese tributary system.
Japan was at that time nearly closed against the world. Sorry it is not major matter.
Yes during the Sakoku Japan forced all trade through Deshima, but I mostly meant before Sakoku. I would not be surprised though if there was still limited officials going to China still.
@@ThePacificWarChannelThank you for your reply. You studied Asian History very much, didn't you. I'm afraid you don't know Japanese official missionaries to learn about Chinese dynasties, 隋 and 唐 more than 1000 years ago. Japanese prince Shoutoku wrote to the Chinese Emperor, “From the land where the rise to the land where the sun set ″ or something like that. The Emperor of Chinese dynastie must have been furious because he believed China was the center of culture, and Japan was only a trivial rural district. After sending several missionaries, Japan lost interest in China all of a suddenly and stopped learning Chinese culture. Mongolian China menaced Japan to be subjugated to them. But Japan refused and they invaded Japan two times. It was really a dangerous time for Japan. Successfully Japan could defend themselves and drove them away. Hundreds years after Japan invaded 明 dynasty, and Imperial Japan had war against 清 dynasty, which you well know about. So I think Japan has not been getting along with China in its history, like now. In this respect, Japanese feel sympathy with Vietnam and Taiwan as well, which hasn't surrendered to China. For many Japanese, Korea was a traitor who seconds to China.
Anyway I'm surprised that you know much about Asian history.
@@user-zb2hi8ct9q Haha thank you, the university I attended had an excellent professor who lives in Canada half his time and Japan the other half. I took quite a few Japanese history courses with him, but I also took Japanese cultural courses to learn about Current Japan as well! I am also trying to learn the language, but it is very different from my English/French background =). I still have a lot to learn about Japans history and I only recently educated my self more with China's history.
@@ThePacificWarChannel I got it. Thanks.
The bird needs birdseed
