      The Japanese colonies in China discussed here were all German colonies given to them by the Versailles settlement of WWI. This whole period of Japanese crimes was simply them carrying out what they had learned from the European powers a generation earlier.

    I worked for DOD-Navy in the Philippines. In 1987 a friend of mine asked me to go with him to Mariveles City at the tip of the Bataan peninsula to visit relatives. We drove about 2 miles and were stopped by one of the several Revolutionary groups around Luzon and this kinda freaked me out. My friend told me to chill and asked me for $7.00, I gave it to him and he paid the guard with the gun and he slapped a blue sticker on my windshield for safe passage. In 1990-1991 there were two Airmen from Clark Field that were executed in a back alley of a bar and that shut all bases down for 35 days. A couple of months later a military convoy escorting DOD civilians home was attacked and two were killed. This shut all bases down for 53 days. The reason I left was because Mt. Pinatubo blew up and we were hit 2 days later by a super typhoon that sucked all of the ash going east right into our area. There was 2.5 feet of sand with 2 feet of water on top of it. Subic Bay had only one 2 lane road that went to Manilla & Clark Air Base. It took 2 weeks to clear the road, we were eating MRIs because of lack of food. The ash had knocked out the power on base two weeks earlier and all of the frozen food rotted. I took the last aircraft carrier out, USS Abraham Lincoln, to Cebu and then a C-141 to Guam. At that point we were free to take any flight we wanted to go home. What a trip.

      The same thing happened to me on New Britain in New Guinea in 2007. We were in a car driving from Rabaul to Kokopo when we got stopped by a group of locals collecting road fees. The road runs through the ancestral lands of their family or so they said. We had to pay to cross. It was like $10.00. At least they didn't shoot us. I was there to go scuba diving. I was in the Philippines in 2010, again scuba diving. We went from Manila to Batangas to catch a water taxi over to Sabang on Mindoro. We were in a small bus. Nothing happened. But to your point, when you go out to the distant ends of the world, you never know. Later on the same Philippines trip we flew over to Puerto Princessa on Palawan to catch a dive trip out to the Sulu Sea for a week. The Muslim terrorist group Abu Sayyaf, had raided the town a few years before and took some American hostages. We hopped over there on Cebu Airlines, only to find out later they were on the do not fly list by the FAA due to poor upkeep of their planes. Great. We lived.

      The bigger mistake for the Japs was not landing at Hawaii, hunting down the 2 carriers in the Pacific and not taking the oil stores.

    The script writer definitely has east and west reversed. Midway is west of Hawaii, not east, and the Solomons are northeast of Australia, not northwest. Good video otherwise.

    Nippon’s “Golden Age” was NOT a time of peace & internal cooperation! There were countless numbers of clan wars between regional Samurai leaders, Shoguns, loyal to & against the Emperors. It is commonly referred to as the Sengoku Jidai.

    The British arrived not long after Perry, altough you have a British accent I think this is a US production. The Brtish also had a treaty with the Japanese, willfully ommitted . In 1902 the Japanese also signed a specific treaty with the British until 1922, notice they drive on the same side of the road as the British?
