I love how Japan didn't give two shits about what the Emperor was doing half the time
If Europe would've been like that with the pope. I wonder how different everything would have turned out to be.
We still don't, to be honest, and he really doesn't do much anyway. It's pretty much the prime minister running the country. Just like the queen of England, the emperor is just a symbol.
@@xSG1969x same for us swedes, our king is just there doing his own thing whatever that is 😂 but we stan haha. we have our prime minister and the blocks that runs the show.
@@torahibiki though we were also kinda like that with our "Holy Roman Emperor of German Nation". He kinda existed and looked fabulous, but other than calling the army to defend against outsiders he had no real power in the later stages of the empire (though usually the person elected as emperor was a powerful lord in his own right)
@@boahkeinbockmehr correct me if am wrong. But wasn't the holy Roman emperor, at one point or another, a king of one of the regional kingdoms that sized power by succession, in some cases bloody-full on war successions, and became emperor after tge pope in Italy recognize him at such? Like Otto or sigismund?

@@kathrinbeckmann6530 At least most of the hard feelings from WW2 have kind of passed now, especially since new generations have taken over.
To be fair, we didn't just drop the bombs on Japan b/c we were "curious if they worked". We were at war and Japan was geared up to defend the home islands to the last man. As welll as civlians killing themselves in the event of being conquered. Just look up Okinawa. Numbers-wise, it was either the 400,000 in Hiroshima/Nagasaki or the 1,000,000+ projected casualties of an invasion, many of them our own troops.
@@nekoqueen5524 I'd say all hard feelings have passed, at least on the US side (which is the one I can speak to). It was 90 years ago and we've been friends again for most of that.

I'm pretty sure the whole event happened around the time of the US civil war but I might be wrong
I remember him being one question on a quiz in high school u.s. history
I mean to be fair, he's just some guy who followed the gunboat diplomacy of the government to USA citizens... To the Japanese, he's the guy who basically started their second civil war.
In my 7th grade History class our teacher basically just said "So japan was closed, until some dude named Perry came in with a bunch of guns and said 'hey open up the country or we will invade you and have another island'"
When he said "warm water" they were looking for warm water ports. Much of Russias coast line is in very cold water and even permafrost.
Better yet, warm water ports that don't freeze over for half the year.
I wasn't going to look into this 'til I saw your comment. Thank you, Grugg
That is a good comment.
My HS history teacher said "Russia is always trying to get out" because they are a very large country that historically had no access to ports they could easily use year round.
Nowadays they have the Kaliningrad exclave near Poland, but that's only one.
@@rfmerrill There's also Vladivostok. But, it's super far from Moscow. And Sevastapol, but that port is restricted by Turkey's control of the Bosporus.

The Dutch were most sensible choice for the Japanese back then, as it was the most tolerant (or least intolerant) European country in religious matters. Japanese authorities knew the dutch wouldn't try to convert them into christianity.
Interesting! Now I know thanks!
they also had spices too

I always thought it was the Portuguese, but maybe I am confusing them with being the first to trade and not the only ones allowed after isolationism.
@@devincook1396 The Portuguese were indeed the first ones, but they were extremely proselytist (like the Spanish), so they were kicked out. The Dutch were not, and their influence was so great that there's a word for modern science (in that era), which was rangaku (蘭学). The ran comes from the Japanese word for the Netherlands, so it literally means "Dutch studies".

I was taught that is was the announcement that America had joined the world stage as an equal for the first time.

"Monkey fun" is a reference to 猿楽 (Sarugaku), a form of theater that was very popular in the 11th-14th centuries in Japan. The kanji *can* be translated to "monkey fun," though I *think* "monkey music" is more accurate (when the second kanji is pronounced "gaku," it means "music," but other times it can mean "fun"). Note: I am not Japanese, so my analysis of the kanji might be wrong.

The Dutch were still allowed to trade on Dejima because they weren’t interested in spreading a foreign religion in Japan and were just there to make money
Fun little fact that has become more populat resently. Part of why the Dutch retained good relations with Japan involved the English Samurai "William Adams" who worked for the Dutch before the Shogun decided he wanted him to stay. I'm fairly certain this was some time before the country was closed, but that part at least was facilitated in-part by his influence.
Here's a letter he wrote around the time;

Honestly a bit shocked you never learned about the mongol invasions of Japan. The Mongols tried to invade Japan in 1274 but while on sea a typhoon hit the fleet and destroyed about 1/3rd of the ships carrying roughly 13.000 men who all drowned. 7 Years later the mongols tried again with an even larger fleet reportedly carrying 140.000 soldiers, whereas Japan only had 40.000 defenders at the time. This fleet was again decimated by a typhoon that killed half of the Mongol army at sea, most of those that did make it to shore were easily killed by the Japanese defenders. The Japanese obviously attributed these miracles to their gods and named the typhoons "divine wind" or Kamikaze 神風. As one of Japan's greatest moments in history (beating the Mongols is a feat only few could list) I really thought it would be thought to everyone. Maybe it's forgotten because of the dark re-purposing of the word kamikaze during WW2. I think that's sad since 神風 has a much better history than what we mostly remember now.
I think Bill Wurtz goes over that briefly in the "history of the world" video.
I also didn't know that story about the typhoons. It's actually fascinating and it makes sense that we attributed them to the gods. If it had happened only once, fine, but twice is just insane.
I heard a statistic once that the second Mongol invasion of Japan was the world's largest naval invasion in history.
Easily defeated by the Japanese is a HUGE stretch. The Mongols decimated the Japanese, and they barely defeated the invaders. The typhoons were literally the divine wind, because they 100% saved japan.
@@aldyn1647 The reason these typhoons easily destroyed the Mongol fleet is because the Mongols were impatient and used non-seaworthy vessels to cross the ocean. Naval warfare is not their strong point.
I like how bill gave a small respectful pause after the two nukes part of the video.

@@carlivasquez6840 It was a joke. lol
How shocked he was when he found out about world war 1 kinda surprised me because everyone in America is taught about how dumb it was and how it was non-sensible
It seems dumb when people say the war began because some noble got shot in the head.
The truth is that WW1 conflicts came escalating through history and intensified a lot during the formation of national state territories as the countries we know of today.
Differences between England and France lead to the american independence and the french revolution just as an example.
The assassination of a prince was the official reason to start a conflict that was already waiting to happen
@@RadeticDaniel But at the same time simplifying something even as big as ww1 as "inevitable" is tricky business. Reality is that the war started because of the assassination. If Princip hadnt pulled that trigger, we might be living in a different world. If a nuclear exchanged had occurred during the cold war, would we today be saying it was inevitable given the state of the world in the 60s and 70s? I think history unfolds in more chaotic ways than we are comfortable with.
@@thesecondwolf1 good point on the cold war... reminds me of the saying "hindsight is 20/20".
.
Maybe a better way is to put the assassination as a catalyst. It made sure to accelerate a reaction, despite what might've happened without it.
@@RadeticDaniel Yea, it was probably one of many possible events that could have triggered an already very likely conflict.

The pain in his eyes just hurts
For those that don’t know, the term kamikaze derives from ‘divine wind’, which is a reference to the storms that helped quell the Mongolian invasions of Tsushima. It’s why he was joking by saying it was Tornados that stopped the mongols.
Notice the shame he expresses when Japan’s colonialism/militarism is mentioned, it’s interesting
Americans should be ashamed
@@elt2773 Why?
Dillard M. DeMoss because they dropped THE bomb. Although Japan’s war crime is bigger than Germany and probably one of the most sadistic military in WW2, dropping a bomb on innocent japanese civilians is a huge no no. Still tho, in war, everyone is wrong, that’s why its stupid.
@@Mikasks I do not care if it's citizens or soldiers, a life is a life, and I don't regret the bombing that much. I still have guilt, but there is very little. No one should be killed, and there shouldn't be war in the first place, but civilians were also KILLED during the bombing of pearl harbor AND it's estimated by a history professor that at least 6 Million people were killed by the Japanese. I might be biased and not fully agree with the bombing, but the US did what was better for stopping the conflict first. People were tortured, killed, and forced to ridicule their own country, so you partly wrong. I'm not ashamed, but I am sympathetic. No one should die that horribly.
Azari Brooks I’m sorry but bombing innocent civilians is not the best choice whether its to end conflict or to win one. I’m not sure you quite understand the aftermath of a nuclear bomb. You should research it. You might think the US is doing the bomb for the world peace or something but it really isn’t. The bomb was dropped to show the world how powerful the US is and it worked. And also you said innocent civilians are bombed at pearl harbour? But that’s just a normal bomb isn’t it? It happens all the time, even the US is bombing people right now. Also since when did the US care about Hawaiian citizens? They don’t even have the same right as the mainland US citizen.
Im not saying the Japanese were excused for their warcrimes but the bombs didn’t necessarily hit the people behind the war rather it hit innocent people that were also suffering because of Japanese military. So the nuclear bomb only affected people that suffer from the war, the japanese military stopped its attack because they lost a lot of lives that could be forced to do suicide attacks,etc. If you really cared about lives then I’m gonna have to break your delusions but bombing people that were suffering from their government is wrong, what did they do wrong? Why not bomb the people behind the war? Of course, killing the people behind the war is very hard so the US chose to do the shortcut which is to dwindle their human resources. All I’m saying is that there’s a better way to end the war, if the US goal is for world peace.
For the record I am from the country that has suffered from the Japanese colonialization, there’s a saying in my country that “350 years of Dutch colonialization is better than 3.5 years of Japan” so I’m definitely not excusing the Japanese for what they did. Also fyi, dutch colonialization was not british style, it was literal slavery and exploitation, nothing for indigenous people, while British still educated their colonies, the dutch did nothing, but my people still said they were better than the Japanese. You can see how I can never excuse the Japanese military for what they did right? But logically speaking and without bias, Japan was hugely wrong but what the US did was also wrong and not the best decision.
I’m nitpicking things but you said all lives matter and you’re sympathet but you agree with killing off INNOCENT civillians and wrecking their land to the point that they can’t use it at all for years? So you’re admitting that Japanese lives dont matter even though they didn’t do anything and were used by their own govt to do suicide attacks, massive tax, robbed from their belongings and land. The Japanese miltary were prosperous but the people were not. In a way, they were colonized by their own country but you still agree that they get bombed? That’s the same thing as agreeing to bomb the colonized countries to “end the war” lmao.

A lot of Americans hate Japanese because of WW2 and all that but I dont see why, just like Osama we shouldn’t hate everyone because of one person or group’s actions, Japan was Imperial Japan then and it’s different now.
Also the dutch because they included Japan in the spice trade which Japan could not originally access because 1. The Dutch controlled the oceans in the center of the spice trade and 2. They were too far away. Also yes that American guy is famous (ish) here. His name is Commodore Matthew Perry

@@nvno1943 don't even start lol
@@nvno1943 I agree
@@nvno1943 true af, but I think that the best way is not by imposing. The more organic, the better. If we literally adapt Christ's teachings to our lives, believe me, christians would be so mentaly powerful, nice as hell, super empathic, focused, etc.
Hey! A Christian here :) I totally agree. The westernized American Christianity and the major obsession with the rapture and end times has kind of hindered the organic teachings. Though Jesus' second coming will be happening, many Christians have been focusing more on that than the Savior who is coming and His teachings.
The thing about being mentally powerful though, that may be a bit difficult for some. For instance, I have mental health issues; but, Jesus is helping me through it and my issues aren't as bad as before. Jesus says, "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough troubles of it's own" (Matthew 6:34). He also says that the first and greatest commandment is to love God and that the second is like it, to love people (love your neighbor as yourself). I find it depressing when I see fellow Christians "cancelling" each other and not actually paying attention to the Bible when it's literally right there.

Because the Dutch didn't try to force their religion on Japan like other Christian nations did, like the Spanish and Portuguese. That's why only the Dutch were allowed to continue trading with Japan. But only in that one location.

@@heyimsteven5311 Well, what else do you do with a group of people agitating against everything traditional in their country, start vandalising shrines and temples, destablising society to impose Christianity on everyone (AKA the usual modus operandi for Christian conversion of a country) all that stuff? It wasn't the shogunate who started that in Japan, it was the Kirishitan who brought it upon themselves. Christianity has been a force of evil and destruction wherever it goes and continues to be that to this day in India, Africa, South America, and other places, where missionaries are still clamouring to get indigenous peoples into their claws, tear their traditions, language, culture, etc. asunder and impose their own religion upon them.

"Convert them to our side or eliminate them"
@@agathoklesmartinios8414 For one, anyone can do anything in the name of someone else. The only thing that is Christian is the Bible, if you are not informing your ideas of Christianity on the Bible then I have a bridge to sell you in the name of Christianity. For purchasing it you will be rewarded the rank of saint according to me.
Christianity has done a great deal of good and it always annoys me when people lay all the evil and none of the good. The evil of men has existed throughout the centuries, it is uniform throughout history. Men of power have always acted the same way. I'm sorry you have been deceived into believing Christianity is the source of corrupt power. The Cyrillic alphabet, which brought literacy to Slavic nations, the foundations of Physics, and the foundation of medicine in the Abbasid Caliphate were developed by ardent Christians. Not only was Newton the most gung-ho Christian physicist of all time, you would be hard pressed to find a scientific unit of notation that does not bear a Christian's name. Christian Syriac was an important language of medicine in the Abbasid Caliphate, and Christians from the school of Nisbis, the academy of Gondishapur, and the European Galen were instrumental in the early disciplines of medicine.

They do teach about Matthew Perry in most American/World history classes, but most Americans eventually forget about that stuff. And even then they didn't spend a lot of time on him. So yeah, most Americans don't know who he is even though they probably were taught about him at some point in their lives.
I wouldn't say it's in most American/World History classes because I took two (moved high schools and the new one wouldn't accept all of my courses from the first one) in two very different parts of the country and never learned about Japanese isolationism and America forcing it to reopen.

Dutch was really good a business, and they weren’t trying to force everyone to convert to their religion, which made them really popular in Asian countries. Japan of course only trades with them, and there’s a story where all the foreign countries try to trade with China, but all refused to bow to the Chinese emperor, except for the Dutch ambassador, who said “we are here for business, not some stupid pride”.
At some point they actually spreading religion, like in north Sumatra when they send a German guy to turn Batak people into Protestantism so they can be more "civilized" and controlled, not even contact with Arab traders or Aceh and Malay sultanate conquest/subjugation able to make Batak people convert to Islam but a single German dude send by them able to did it.

Hi! Dutch person here ^^ the reason Dutch people were still allowed to trade was because we were the only country that wasn't interested in coverting the Japanese into Christians.

6:18 - "And do you know what else is western? That's right, it's conquering stuff."
SHUNchan: *Shaking his head because, dammit, that's too true.*
Yah Perry is famous among people who study Japanese history here in the U.S.. My mom always wanted to go to Japan so she taught me what she knew of Japan after Shogun (movie or book) came out in the 70s i think. Then I dug into Japanese history even more when i got into anime lol.
Not sure if somebody has already answered this, but given the time period, "monkey fun" is probably sarugaku (猿楽), the precursor of Noh theater.
I like how he literally translated each kanji 😂
Ah, I see.
I was honestly a bit concerned thanks for helping.
Europe to Japan: Christianity is what you need
The Dutch republic to Japan: we got cool shit, wanna buy?
That part of history in a nutshell
Dutch got weed, that's the truth 😂
I wish the Dutch were that "cool" to us in South Africa. Instead it went more like : that's a nice peice of land, here's some useless ish and get the hell out. We run this ish now. Then they took over and got karma'd by the Brits but they weren't really that kind to the natives either. Tough times.

Japan to Christianity: "You believe in Jesus? I believe it's time to separate your head from your body."
It's so well explain and it's fun to listen :)
I like how he's so much more positive about the video as compared to other youtube reactions
I’m american and would have loved something like this as a 10-12 year old for U.S. history before getting into years of learning the details.
the creator was going to make something about america but he was too biased in his knowledge. He knew too much about one thing not enough about others so he picked japan instead because it was a country he could do blind without his own thoughts on it.
yeah but US history is only 250 years that'd be like a 30 second vid for this guy
Same
I would have actually paid attention in school if they showed us stuff like this.
Sally Fowler yeah it’s short as shit, unless you were to get deep into Native American history
Yeah, I was kinda surprised that he stopped around the 1980s for Japan. Even though there is a ton of modern history after that.
Actually, not much of a big change inJapan since the 80s, though. No big wars or anything. maybe the 2011 earthquake is the only major event after the 80s.
I think he was taking a jab at anime or something.
My guess is that it stopped there because he reached the point of history that people watching this video can actually recollect themselves. Or at least are much more aware of.
Apparently this video took him 14 weeks to make, so it could be that he just reached his personal creative limit >>
Its a matter of pacing. Explaining everything thats happened since then would be far slower paced and insignificant compared to everything before it.
those eyes, that voice, you can feel his feelings.
I was so sad when I saw you reacting to America dropping the Atomic Bombs but then you had to make me laugh with that "you're not fine" meme. I'm trying to be empathetic here man!
What about him reacting to Japan brutally invading its neighbours beforehand? Oh wait, there was no such reaction.
@@ranivacar Ah yes, he moved his mouth a little bit when seeing that part for half a second, while you could clearly see a discomfort in his face for minutes when talking about the nukes. And it’s not only him that did the same, as other japanese that reacted on this video really didn’t care about that subject until the parts with the nukes.
Many Americans would say something along the lines of "I know Japan was closed once" in regards to Perry. Many of us Americans don't even know why we have such a big Navy. When we were having our civil war, we developed some of the first warship/gunboats that had more powerful steam engines and started to armor up the boats. After these American civil boat battles, the way water fights are handled was forever changed. This basically showed our government and many others that having a big and power Navy is a requirement for survival. That made the US's navy start going global and make it's way to Japan. Definitely interesting stuff and I'm not even a boat guy haha.
The first modern Japanese naval vessel, an ironclad, was actually made from a Confederate Navy boat that ended up being sold off post-war
It had a sister ship as well, also turned into an ironclad; though I don’t recall who bought it, some European nation I think, *maybe* a Baltic nation
"Speak softly and carry a big stick" thats why we have a big navy
The US has a big navy because trade has always been a major part of our economy, and a navy is how you protect your merchant vessels and guarantee open shipping lanes. Also, a lack of a large navy bit us in the backside in the past. There were the Barbary pirates shortly after the US gained its independence, the British seizing ships and kidnapping American sailors in the lead up to the War of 1812, and the fact that during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 the Royal Navy could pretty much sail up and down our coast at will and attack us. By the end of WWII the US had a massive fleet, was easily the wealthiest nation in the world, and was trading with so many nations around the world that it just decided to step up and make sure pretty much all of the shipping lanes would remain open and safe. It's also a rather effective way to project power around the world.
Civil War also saw the first known use of a submarine sinking a ship. Yes there were submarines in the Civil War, very few and very dangerous to be in. Learned about it while in the Navy that a Confederate submarine sank a Union ship.

Watching your videos with headphones is the best
The thing that surprised me the most was the fact you could tell in advance he'll mention Perry, and when he talked about World War 1 you were surprised it started with the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, while in the west (Especially Europe) the case is the *exact* opposite. Everyone who learned some history knows what started World War 1 but I don't think I even know Americans who know who Perry is.
Really liked the video! Keep it up :D
Yeah I have no clue who Perry is lol
I'm also American, and I can confirm that I've never heard of Perry
@@JetFalcon710 Am I the only one who learned about Perry?
@@BlackBloodCombatClub Probably
Bonzi Buddy I did too. But it’s not hard to imagine that most people forgot about him. He didn’t figure heavily into US history.

"Is this guy famous? Outside of Japan?"
I think about this line at least once a day. Fascinating
It's surprisingly rare that we get to truly see what people from other countries think of history, especially ones involving America. Please, keep this going!
Since you asked about Commodore Perry - I'm an American naval history enthusiast and even in those circles, he's not very well-known. I first learned about him while watching videos about Japan, even though I read a lot about the history of the US Navy, either I never came across him in those books/videos, or maybe he was briefly mentioned and I forgot.
Most Americans have no idea who he is. Some remember him for helping introduce steam ships to the US Navy but that's basically just a footnote in naval technology, and usually gets overshadowed by the introduction of steel warships (Monitor vs Virginia) shortly afterwards.
The Sengoku Jidai is one of my favorite times in Japanese history and Oda Nobunaga is obviously my favorite daimyo lol , Learning about that moment of history actually spurred me onto my path of studying eastern culture and history as a whole. Right now I'm trying to learn Japanese and amass knowledge so I can aim for my dream of becoming a professor of eastern studies in the later years of my life.
Yeah, Perry is only known to history nerds in the U.S.
We don't talk about him in public schooling at all.
@Haku infinite More like infamous.
Yea, Many Americans think American interaction with Japan started in WWII, but the interaction started well before that.
Unless it's some brief mention in a DID YOU KNOW section
What do you mean? Perry is my favorite platypus
At best Perry is an answer you have to remember on a multiple choice test
9:37 one thing that really surprises me about "the history of japan i guess" was how the creator didn't include that the u.s. let the emperor continue to be emperor. if the u.s. had decided to remove him then things would have gone VERY differently
@Recon WB
True, Japan's nationialism would have a severe impact.
Especially considering that it was a recurring theme mentioned earlier.
The alternative was mainland invasion, and that would have cost a *significant* amount of more lives. Besides, we did ask for their formal surrender several times before either bomb was dropped.
@@CyborgRowlet That's because the emperor still hold some "power" and people still respects him. It wouldn't make sense that the U.S. kept the emperor "just because". It would damage the reputation of U.S. in the eyes of Japanese people and cause extremists and loyalists to revolt which would assure conflict, and that is the last thing you want when the Soviets are right at your doorstep with troops on the front-line. So, realistically removing the emperor was not really an option. Unless, you're pretty extreme. Which I'm glad they didn't go that route to cause needless conflict.
@Yazoo Rayon
Yes, but the future of my country looks like it will copy the past. (Coming from a Shinto)
5:58 to answer your question, even in the United States I have never heard of that guy outside of the original video
The regret on his face when Japan attacked Hawaii and his face when US drops the nuke is so sad.😔
Not gonna lie, I'm an American and I had a similar expression when the nukes came up. I know it was the quickest way to end the war, but it was still horrible

AP World Knowledge. To answer your question about "Why Dutch?". Dutch were allowed to trade with japan after the sakoku edict was passed because they were basically the only European country that was more tolerant of religions, especially with trade partners. As a result they went to Japan strictly for business and never tried to suede the Japanese to become Christians. Hence why they were allowed to trade. Thx Ms. Baise
His face when the bombs were brought up. I felt that
Legit go to college of there next year and I know this will be part of my courses glad the video exists
There’s an American actor named Matthew Perry who is way more famous in the US than the naval officer Matthew Perry and it confused me when I first learned about him in my history class.

God DAMMIT ADS
@Chihusky 419 so the person who made the video can have money for monetize vids....their are ads so they make money
@Chihusky 419 In the early days of UA-cam creators didn't make any money. It was just a place to upload videos. Then they added AdSense monetization which means creators can get a cut of the ad profits. So the main way to make money on UA-cam is to have ads on your videos. There are other ways to generate revenue but that's what caused the shift you noticed.
The intro into WW2 was interesting. From what I remember wasn't there a standoff/meeting/fight in the north pacific before Pearl Harbor? Where each side didn't have the right coordinates and basically thought the other side was invading their waters? And something about bombing of the west coast, though I don't remember that part very well.
Thats interesting! I had never heard of Perry before this video, but I was familiar with Oda Nobunaga (because, like you said, he’s in a bunch of movies and video games).
Would've loved if the video included Scandinavia but it sadly didn't!
Denmark was one of the first countries to establish a connection with Japan following Perry's opening of Japan (after 鎖国), with even one of my relatives being the first consul from Denmark in Japan, "John Henry Duus". His grave is still in Hakodate, Hokkaido today.
A lot of the agricultural industry in Hokkaido is based on Denmark too!
But I do understand all information is hard to include in a video less than 10 minutes!
Interesting, i didn't know about that
also, Scandinavians INTRODUCES SALMON SUSHI. Also, Scandinavians are super popular in Japan

When you ask Americans if we know Matthew Perry, the answer you'll maybe get is "oh the actor that played Chandler in Friends"
when he said "that's where it all strated?' me: ah shit here we go again hahah btw: i am from serbia
I've watched 4 different videos reacting to this, and this one was my favorite lol. I feel kinda bad when the "bomb" bit comes up tho. It's cool how he made a meme of it tho. Finding humor in dark situations as a coping mechanism resonates with me a lot.
Perry is famous if you paid attention in history class, though most primary school do not dwell much on Japanese history, especially pre-World War 2 history. For example, I didn't know that Japan was allied with America and Britain during World War I until I was grown up. "Warm Water" pertains to Russia's ambitions to get access to ports which would remain navigable in the winter-time, bolstering trade and permitting them to project naval power.
Your mileage may vary, re: "history" class
Fun fact: Germany during WW2 was run by an Angry Austrian, not a German.
if i remember correctly he was enlisted in the german military during WW1 though
@@jkitchen2003 He moved to Germany but he is from Austria.
@Ethan Pintar No? He hated Austria and wanted to be a German. He was given german citizenship in Braunschweig. Otherwise he could not run the German Reich, obviously.
Austrian is nationality only, but German can be nationality and ethnicity and language.
*Laughs in Barvarian
I remember when I was a child and my mother first told me about the u.s. dropping the atomic bombs on Horoshima and Nagasaki. Even though I was 9 years old I felt so angry that our government ever did that.
I still feel like there was a better way we could have handled the war, and I still become angry when I think about it. I do not know if our government ever apologised about it, but I do know many people here in America are very sorry that it happened. I feel it was very wrong and hurt so many innocent people who never did anything to us. I am sure many people who lived in Japan during that time wanted the war to be over with too.
So on behalf of my own country I want to say I am very sorry, and we are honoured to be friends with Japan. We love your country and the wonderful who live there! Thank you for sharing your culture with the world and making the world a better place. Hopefully the people of Japan will continue to bring joy and happiness to the world. We love you Japan!
I agree. Look at all the joy Japan brought to China in the 30's.
@@StarRings *Japanese Government
Funny how Phillip clarifies "Our government", as he blames the government for bombing Japan, not "America". Yet, you don't do the same, saying "Japan", when you mean "Japanese Government", the Japanese civilians were, largely, innocent.
I guess by your standard, the best way to stop the Japanese Government from committing civilian genocide was for the American Government to commit civilian genocide themselves onto the Japanese people. On estimate, 175,000 Japanese civilians were murdered during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were largely innocent of any wrongdoing on China. You know who wasn't killed? Hideki Tojo, the Emperor of Japan, who, not only was allowed to live, but was allowed to remain as Emperor due to the condition of Japan's surrender. Yup, definitely sounds like those responsible for the rape of China were put to justice.
But sure, continue to justify the genocide of the Japanese people due to "their government also committed genocide".
The war was already basically over, I think the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were more to threaten China and Russia than anything else, since immediately after the war ended the number one thing on our government’s agenda was to undermine any socialist nations. And then that turned into the decades long pissing contest of atomic armament between the US and Russia 🙄
@@pinkfloydguy7781
I don't mean to be rude, but you're rather wrong, Michael.
Japan refused to surrender, and America was faced with the idea of the full scale invasion of the mainland of Japan. You say they nuked to threaten the socialist countries like Russia and China? Two countries that were our allies during WW2? And China wasn't even socialist yet in 1945, its communist revolution was between 1948-1952. Yes, we did have a tension long cold war with the USSR, but that only really started brewing 2 years later, Churchill "Iron Curtain" speech wasn't until early 1946. The nukes may have frightened USSR, but I highly highly doubt they nuked Japan with the sole intention to put the USSR in their place, when it didn't even work, the USSR didn't have any nukes themselves, nor did they concede any of the land east of Berlin.
The USA nuked Japan because they wanted unconditional surrender from Japan without invading the mainland, and Japan refused surrender, after the first nuke, Japan agreed to surrender only on the terms that the Emperor gets to live and remain as Emperor, USA refused and dropped the 2nd nuke, and Japan offered surrender under the same terms again, and the USA accepted.
@G. G.
Because your average civilian is not to blame during war time. Most civilians are not concerned about what happens outside the walls of their home and their work.
"It's just war bro, why you got to be nice to civilians, civilians die in every war" is literally the mindset that leads to mass genocide and war crimes.
If Kim Jung-Un is being a dick, I'm not going to declare war on him and then slaughter his civilians, I understand that some of those civilians may defend him, and perhaps they defend him simply because they're known no other way, they were born there, raised there, they may know no other way then to defend him.
And there may be civilians that wouldn't defend him, but are lumped in with the rest because they simply were born in the same country he was.
Civilians are often also the victims of their own terrible government, and the lack of empathy from you on this is honestly disgusting.
Man I could see how hard the mention of the bombs hit. I can’t really imagine what it must be like to be the one country that has happened to. Great reaction though. I like watching you react to stuff about Japan, It helps to fact check because you always confirm stuff that’s true and call bullshit on,well the other stuff.
I am a Mexican and I know about perry
he participated in the war against Mexico too
in the first and second battles of tabasco of 1846 and 1847
he was the commander of the "gunboats".
He as well attacked Veracruz under the command of "old fuss" Winfield Scott, whom took the capital of Mexico.
lmao really? I didn't know
7:34 - lol yep, it was exactly that ridiculous a domino effect
After a looooooong history of costly wars amongst each other that ultimately resolved very little for anyone on the continent except establishing a status quo, the nations of Europe got the idea of massive competing international alliances so as to deter any more warmongering from any one nation. After all, no nation would go to war if they knew the cost associated would vastly eclipse any gains they could make, right?
It's not the worst theory in the world, but it overlooked some obvious caveats: 1, nations do not always go to war for rational reasons, especially when communication lines are unstable and they're operating on incomplete/false information (Austria-Hungary and Russia come to mind especially,) and 2, being part of an alliance may protect you from your enemies attacking you, but it also obliges you to attack people who you do not consider your enemy in the event of an attack upon your "allied" nation.
Thus, because Serbian nationalists attack an Austro-Hungarian Archduke, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, Russia declares war on Austria-Hungary, Germany declares war on France (because France is allied to Russia,) and Britain declares war on Germany- all over a war that should never have had any real consequence outside of the Balkans. The rest is history: Germany loses, the WW1 allies demand reparations and that Germany should shoulder the blame for WW1, Germany's currency collapses from untenable crediting, and in that unstable soil, Hitler comes to power.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
And the video doesn't even get into the insanity of the internal politics, like how Archduke Ferdinand was one of the main anti-imperialists in the Austrian court and how (ironically) his death let Hötzendorf, one of the leaders of imperialist faction, push through his plans for the subjugation of Serbia. Or how almost every monarch in Europe was related to Queen Victoria in some way, making World War One a family feud that killed millions.
@@GreasusGoldtoothOnlyFans The Queen Victoria thing isn't wrong. Apparently some of the leaders even said something along of the lines of "If Grandma Victoria were still alive she wouldn't have let any of this happen."
Probably the BIG thing WW1 did to Europe was really kill off the common "war is glorious" belief. Prior to the war the idea of total war that affected a nation on a complete civil level wasn't really thought to be a thing.

from what i learned, it was typhoons, not tornadoes that wiped out the mongol fleets each time they went and tried to invade japan. typhoons are pretty common in east and southeast asia, and idk if it was intentional from the part of the creator but in america, they call typhoons "cyclones" which could be pretty easy to confuse with tornadoes.

America still helped Japan recover, but still doesn't fix the relationship. I think many Americans really like japan because of Japanese cutlture, but the relationship still to this day is kinda low key bad.
But America government still helps japan against China and North Korea in an attempt to be chill.
@@ben69028 overkill is definetly not what it was. The other option was to invade the Japanese islands, where the conservative estimate of casulaties of American forces was 1,000,000.
