Of the 850,000 Japanese infantry to storm the beaches of Manila, only 150,000 made it home alive. Imagine trying to justify that to your nation in 1885. One of the most insane battles I've seen in Vic2.
@@lucasnadamas9317 I think at that point it was just sunk cost fallicy or saving face because he seemed genuinely surprised how big fortified the area was and annoyed by France joining despite being his ally
wouldve attacked either way, i knew that spain was fortifying phillipines but due to the massive number advantage i knew i would win in time. i wanted all euros out of spice islands and india and i was about to win until usa joined and ruined my naval supremacy
this gave the last of the philipines a whole new meaning, amazing ratio, lets see how they fare against a joint coalition from france and the remains of the spanish.
My favourite islands. Edit: Is no-one going to try taking Japanese land now? Over a million deaths is insane! Also bloody hell what is this Sitio de Baler (1898-1899)? Utterly insane that it happened as well. Spain, you deserve better. One day, one day both peoples shall be under one Crown equal and magnificent, Cuba and Puerto-Rico and the Marianas. If she does not get the entirety of the Americas then they shall do.

The TNO series will still continue, consider this a happy little detour
Good, because what life would it be without seeing 'Nowa Polska' stretching from Kazachstan to Oder river? Pointless I guess.
It will continue?!? Noooooo!
New series ):
thank you for the more reno content
Can you begin the TND series please?
"I'm gonna have to think outside the box on this one bruh"

I lost it just seeing the total casualties at the end.

"They did for the honour of Japan"
Japanese: Banzai!
Loosing a mil is already bad enough but ending the war in a white peace makes it even worse
700,000 men in one battle in the 19th century is absolutely abhorrent
With those numbers committed you might as well call it a campaign 😂
Exceptionally based ending
OMG It's Diego MacArturo's cousin once removed!
@@bigweevil just wait until I tell him about this lovely blue thing I found called Cobalt I think he'll love it
It’s so nice to see a paradox game where opposing players can both have fun instead of raging as soon as they aren’t winning
Big Weevil reenacted the Hispano-Japanese War that happens in Timeline 191 by Harry Turtledove
The Japanese casualties are roughly on par with the states population
That is insane
You should've deleted your routing units, so they didn't remove the dig-in from the mountain battle.
We getting stuck in the lobby with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I genuinely wonder if Japan knew those would be the casualties if he would've still attacked or just kept the over 1mil pops
I think he knew considering he basically prepared a million men for the attack

Hearing the Gettysburg soundtrack kick in? Just beautiful.

It's a little odd to hear Reno so calm, but HOLY GOD what were those casualties 😭
You know it's gonna be a good video when it starts out with the Swiss having a navy.
This is amazing lol. Definately need to see the follow up to this one. Diego MacArturo shall return!
As a citizen of Festung Philippinen, this is unbelievably based
Fuhrerbunker phillipines is amazing. Also thanks for putting the mod in the description.
And when he does return, it's the Empire Strikes Back
Never have I felt so much pride for my country

Cue quote by Generalissimo McArturo that he asks the Spanish Cortes that they should “Give me 10,000 Insular Soldiers and I will conquer Japan”
"Yo debería volver"
-Generalissimo Diego MacArturo, April 3, 1886
Swiss: We're neutral. BUt not *that* neutral
Starts building a fleet for no reason
Even if the war endend right here and you gave away the Philipines he would have less population that at the start of the war
Couldn’t even edge to this, I exploded immediately!!! Clean up on aisle MY PANTS 😂😂😂😂
Is that really Reno? He is terrifyingly chill and joyful... 😲
