Japanese Surrender in HD Color 1945

- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The surrender of the Empire of Japan on September 2, 1945, brought the hostilities of World War II to a close. By the end of July 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent. While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end, Japan's leaders, (the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War, also known as the "Big Six"), were privately making entreaties to the neutral Soviet Union to mediate peace on terms more favorable to the Japanese. Meanwhile, the Soviets were preparing to attack Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea in fulfillment of promises they had secretly made to the United States and the United Kingdom at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences.
On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Late in the evening of August 8, 1945, in accordance with the Yalta agreements, but in violation of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and soon after midnight on August 9, 1945, the Soviet Union invaded the Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Later that same day, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb, this time on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. The combined shock of these events caused Emperor Hirohito to intervene and order the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War to accept the terms the Allies had set down in the Potsdam Declaration for ending the war. After several more days of behind-the-scenes negotiations and a failed coup d'état, Emperor Hirohito gave a recorded radio address across the Empire on August 15. In the radio address, called the Gyokuon-hōsō ("Jewel Voice Broadcast"), he announced the surrender of Japan to the Allies.
On August 28, the occupation of Japan by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers began. The surrender ceremony was held on September 2, aboard the United States Navy battleship USS Missouri (BB-63), at which officials from the Japanese government signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, thereby ending the hostilities. Allied civilians and military personnel alike celebrated V-J Day, the end of the war; however, some isolated soldiers and personnel from Imperial Japan's far-flung forces throughout Asia and the Pacific islands refused to surrender for months and years afterwards, some even refusing into the 1970s. The role of the atomic bombings in Japan's surrender, and the ethics of the two attacks, is still debated. The state of war between Japan and the Allies formally ended when the Treaty of San Francisco came into force on April 28, 1952. Four more years passed before Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Soviet-Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956, which formally brought an end to their state of war.
Its strange how civil everything is, after 6 years of the greatest struggle in the history of mankind, the whole thing comes to an end with some signatures on a piece of paper.

Just about every fight ends this way, with either the losing party surrendering to the superior power, or the losing party being killed by the superior party. Take your pick.
@Sixtyfps Gaming the emperor and his generals are not afraid of the atomic bomb they are afraid of the soviet invading from the north. they dont care if whole japan became ashes.. as long as they survive. they dont care about the people. they care more about preserving their culture and the.emperor.. in which if thr soviet invaded thrm. all will be be gone.... fact
birth, enroll, marriage, divorce, death are all on a piece of paper.
Fascinating video. I felt like I was peering through a porthole, looking directly into the past. Well done.

Sure. Everyone on the UA-cam comments are relatives of every one on a WW2 UA-cam video.
@@nelldavila3261 yeah, my grandfather dropped the bomb on Japan 😎
Imagine the anguish, surrendering just a few days after 2 of your major cities have been vaporized and knowing the loses on all sides. It's an emotion us common people could only imagine but perhaps not be able to even stand. I read a diary of a friend who was on a troop ship awaiting orders to invade the main land. He said it was like walking among the dead. They knew they were going to die, just not when. they knew this would be much worse than D day because this was sovereign territory, not occupied like France and Italy. They knew some kind of plan was in place, not knowing what it was. After the first bomb, knowing just how big it was, people began to have hope. Then the massage came after the second bomb that they will keep coming until surrender. (There was no third bomb, it was used as the final test bomb). The troops had been freed from the throws of death.
I read a book on the development of the atomic bomb. Some of the physicists were inducted into the army to assemble the weapons. As officers of course. At first the battle-hardened G.I.s were surly to these geeky guys who outranked them. Then news of the bomb came, they put 2 and 2 together, and suddenly they were the most popular guys on the island, being given free smokes, bacon, liquor, whatever they wanted.
The Japanese war council didn't really care about the Atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the overwhelming sense often portrayed. Most major Japanese cities had been destroyed to a similar extent by that point by incendiary bombing and they really didn't care that the method had changed. Its reported that a messenger informing the council of the second bombing was waved away because of the ongoing discussion about the Soviet declaration. Also the Manhattan project had the means to produce more bombs within a few months but at that point a quarantine was the most likely measure against the Japanese and not the destruction of yet another city.
@@waahaah861 Actually they had a 3rd ready to go, but after that it would take them a couple months to produce another batch of 4 or so plutonium pits. The debate Among the Americans was to drop them as they were made, or to save up a bunch of them and pour them out all at once on the invasion beaches to vaporize the enemy and minimize casualties. Of course at that point they had little idea that they'd also be irradiating their own troops...
@@wamyx8Nz There was enough material to produce 18 bombs by the end of 1945. The third bomb was slated for Tokyo and was to be ready shortly after Nagasaki but the Emperor had the excuse he wanted to surrender, and a hint that he would not be deposed and held accountable for the many crimes done under his orders and his name. His main concern was his own skin, it turns out.
@@johnl6800 Well there's a few things to unpack there. Unlike Hitler who had only been in power for 12 years, the Emperor was viewed as a living god. Also unlike Hitler he wasn't really in charge of running the war, he was mostly used as a figurehead by the militarists who were really running the government.
The 3rd bomb probably would have gone to Kokura (the original target for the Nagasaki bomb) because they didn't want to completely eradicate the Japanese chain of command. They needed a way to preserve order. They also knew that the Japanese public would never stand for the Emperor being deposed or executed, the uprising would have been just as bloody as an invasion.
Finally there's no way they had 18 cores. Every source I've seen said they had one core left. They were ramping up production to be sure, but producing plutonium took time in the reactor. They had to run slugs of natural Uranium down channels in the reactor so U238 could absorb a neutron and decay to Pu239. In fact the only reason we have aluminum cans is because of the need to seal the uranium in a metal that would not absorb neutrons. The steel cans of the time were no good, so they tasked the Ball canning company with producing aluminum cans. Go look at any aluminum can today and you will see the underlined ball logo on it.
That’s really cool. I’ve only seen the old propaganda versions from the ‘40s.
I love the music and exclusion of narration. It gives it a ominous feel. Two mysterious, sworn enemies meeting face to face amidst the dissipating gun smoke.
Reminds me of the scene from apocalypse now when Willard encounters the French.
Let us not forget the past but also remember that Japan and United States of America are powerful allies today. This is the way all end of conflicts should be handled. Nothing makes a more powerful ally and friend than once bitter rivals.
Respect and love to both Japan and United States of America, from Canada.

Lt Gen Arthur Percival and General Jonathan Wainwright were standing directly behind the surrender table -- they were two skeletons of men which endured years in Japanese captivity. Douglas MacArthur purposely put them there so that the Japanese would see them the whole time.
Japan's war crimes were too numerous to name. Anyone who believes in an eye for an eye would realize that Japan got off easy when compared to the crimes they committed against those who they conquered and those who they captured.
If Operation Downfall (Invasion of Japan) had been executed, it would have been a bloodbath. Thank god for Oppenheimer and his team, as they saved countless American AND Japanese lives alike.
Martin Genaille wrong
I'm currently reading the book titled Hirohito Emperor of Japan and it's fascinating. Seeing this video only ads to the fascination of Japanese culture and Hirohito himself. I'm almost at the end of the book and General McCarthur and Hirohito are about to meet for the first time at McCarthur's residence. I love it!!!

Cool video. My great uncle was on that boat that day. Before he pass he told our family about his service. He only talked about it once and never again. He was a signal man. He saw iwugenma 1st hand and watch them sign the treaty. After the signing that day the Japanese gave all the guys Japanese rifles. My great uncle had 2 of them, both of which he passed down to family. Both went to family in the service.

@@MrHulltech2 A significant portion of that was MacArthur sweeping Japanese war crimes under the rug and preventing Hirohito from being tried as a war criminal.

I've stood on the spot where the table stood on the Missouri and if you have an appreciation for history it haunts you a little
Yes it does!! 😳😳😳 your standing there by yourself or whatever and think to yourself for a sec. You look at the entire deck of the ship and it had all those men that were there that day of the signing and you try to picture them all there as if you are actually with them
i cud only imagine the relief evr1 felt in there that the war is finally over
the biggest possible butterfly in everyone's stomach was finally digested
I had the same thought. Those on board the Missouri, at least the victors, had to be feeling very giddy that day. "We did it! This damned war is finally over! Let's go home!"
This is the most significant piece of footage of history I have ever seen. Thank you for this , God bless and thank you to all who have fought served, and for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. You will never be forgotten!

The Japanese Empire began and died with american ships off the coast.
Gen MacArthur had 2 allied captured Generals stand behind him while the Japanese came to the table.
Damn that is badass. Just a last FU to Japan.
saying you got beat by amateurs?
Japan deserved it because it attacked US. It's ambition was to create a great prosperity zone of East Asian by conquering Korea, China, Russia
The legend say the introduction still continuing.
The fact that Japanese are an excellent ethnic group is obvious at a glance in Asian countries.
It is no exaggeration to say that Japan, which has acquired such military technology just 70 years after the Edo Shogunate, is a miracle nation.
Nah, South korea is a miracle nation, the country was basically a third world country during japanese occupation and now its one of the biggest GDPs in the world, much better miracle story then japans megalomaniac warcime infested past, japan only became powerful because of the aid and influence of the americans,
@@FimbongBass Didn't South Korea also have the aid of Americans tho?
@@kms_scharnhorst And the US and NATO (mostly US) sourced them, right? I don't know if they did,but I'm sure South Korea did have a low chance of coming out the way it did

I'm wondering if this happened in 2020, the army will story-ing this, using boomerang, #ww2isover, and tagging their reltives, or selfies and others 😂😂😂
I feel almost bad for Japan, ignoring the atrocities they committed. They had started all of this out of the hope to be considered equals to the world, and yet we denied them. And because we denied them, we brought this wrath down from them.

The Japanese Empire was insane. Even after two nukes were dropped on them they still didn't want to surrender. The Emperor had to make a public statement to compel his country to surrender.
@@danielandrescubidesrodrigu6980 they only surrendered because Russian invaded. It would have taken a few more nukes if that didn’t happen

During the surrender ceremonies there were hundred of bombers and fighter planes that flew overhead.This was too let the enemy know had they not surrendered they would have been bombed into the"STONE AGE".🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Lies
I agree but the Japanese still had plenty of Submarines in the Ocean to cause chaos and their Army in Mainland China was huge.
MacArthur should have compelled Hirohito to attend and sign the surrender, and then permitted him to atone for the war by committing Hara-Kiri.
We had four family members who served in the Pacific. Marines & sailors. My dad's cousin William C. Garrity was a Marine PFC. Died of wounds on Okinawa. The rest made it home & moved on with their lives.

Man will never learn.
The Japanese rule of Taiwan was marked with typical Japanese cruelty. After they signed the surrender on September 2, there was a lag, until October 25 when the ROC took over. During this time, the Japanese did everything they could to loot Taiwan and ruin the economy.
(If you want an example of Japanese cruelty, in 1920 they burned alive an entire village, Tbabaw, of Tayal aborigines, because they would not submit. After the surrender, they flooded the market with cheap currency, intentionally causing hyperinflation.)
Yet, many ppl in TW today think that Japanese were there to help them, thanks to DPP's brain wash. How sad.
You not even taiwneese
Imperial Japanese Army recruited volunteer soldiers from the Taiwanese aboriginal tribes. They were assigned to special operations. How could Japan kill such precious forces?
@@parisan9985 Wushe incident was not massacre. Seediq indigenous group in Wushe attacked the village, killing over 130 Japanese. In response, the Japanese led a relentless counter-attack, killing over 600 Seediq in retaliation. In process of requisition, there were such kinda uprising in every part of the world, but Japan had never massacred like western people. Think about Australia. Where the hell is pure-bred aborigine?? In 1876, Trucanini passed away and pure-bred aborigine became extinct. OMG, how cruel!! Even Nazi couldn't achieved ethnic cleansing but Aussies did it!
10% ratio decreased because so many Japanese immigrated to Formosa island, and the parameter increased, then the ratio decreased. But the population of Taiwanese indigenous peoples is still decreasing because Republic of China has promoted its policy of cultural assimilation to Han race (Chinalization) even today.
almost every country ever has done cruelties in war. its not bound to a specific people
I respect every soldiers who fought in this war(only those who didn't commit war crimes) , no matter what flag they fought for.
All soldiers , whitout their orders , they are just young men...
Very well said. We should respect all soldier, carrying any flag, wearing any uniform, for they are fighting for the cause of nation. Being a soldier, I respect all sailors, airmen, soldiers and all civilian who took part in defending their nation in any capacity. Let all those who martyred, be remembered with honor for all times to come
Nah, Japanese soldiers brutalised their enemies. There were mass rapes and murders especially in China.

No, cause USA was going to throw the bombs anyway, it was Germany or Japan the target chosen.

I mean, embargoing Japan by all means be evidence that the U.S. was prepared for case of conflict. But its not exactly like they bombed Japan. They cut off their conquest by not giving them oil to further their campaign. Not exactly a wrong thing to do. And ultimately it was still Japan who started, whether America would join the conflict regardless isnt the point to be honest.

The number of deaths in WW1 and WW2 is staggering. Victor Davis Hanson said the following: “In WW1, approx. 35% of the deaths were civilian casualties (65% soldiers); in WW2, approx. 80% of the deaths were civilian casualties (20% soldiers). If you wanted to reduce the war (WW2) to just a sentence, it was about German and Japanese soldiers killing Russian and Chinese civilians. Of the 60 million dead, 40 or maybe 45 million were Russian and Chinese.”

RIP
To anyone saying that Japan "deserved it because of the Pearl Harbor". Bull***. They did a lot of bad things in Asia for which they could deserve a lot of punishment. But Pearl Harbor was a very valid and purely military target. The only botched thing by the Japanese was the fact that they declared war on the US around an hour AFTER the attack started. If that was intentional or an error in diplomatic procedure remains a controversial matter. But even if Japanese did that on purpose, would that one hour change anything? Soldiers at Pearl Harbor would be just as surprised by the attack. Dropping a surprise attack on a naval base is much more "honorable" than carpet bombing a major city. That is also why comparing Pearl Harbor and 9/11 is wrong. WTC attack had a civilian target and the goal was to kill as many people as possible. Goal of the Pearl Harbor attack was to destroy as many military ships and planes as possible and cripple the fleet of an enemy force. Two very different things.
Well, take it this way: Pearl Harbor was not the only target Japan took out, they also took out many other ally inhabited places such as Guam and the Philippines. Japan was basically going full balls to the walls in their war effort. They were not going to give up easily, so the U.S. would have to push back twice as much as they would for a European power. Now this is not excusing the atrocities committed on either side, I'm just saying that America had to adapt to Japan's sense of fighting, as with any enemy.

My uncle was part of the officer group in this video. He was part of the planning group for the entire pacific war. They transferred to the Missouri that morning for the signing and then went to Kyoto to begin the occupation and reconstruction of Japan. 8 days after the signing he requisitioned a Jeep and fuel and drove through Nagasaki and Hiroshima. He only told this story one time to me. He never told his wife or daughter. It was an amazing conversation. I wish I could have recorded it. He remembered the details of the planned invasion like he had just wrote them. Nov 13th, a million men the first day on the beach. Causalities expected in first month, 500,000 dead 500,000 wounded. They expected it to take a year to end the war. He was happy the bombs were dropped.
The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the worst war crimes of the Second World War. No one was ever held to account for these horrible crimes!
Now where friends 🇺🇸❤️🇯🇵
If we were enemies, forever, of every past enemy of the United States, we would literally have no allies. Dipshit.
I have no doubt you can argue all day because you have nothing to do. That's obvious with your typing and spelling ability. Don't worry, I'm sure that if you try real real real hard you can find a job to make minimum wage, get off welfare and nix that opioid addiction, Nazi.
Rick Sanchez You’ll get up to a third grade writing ability if you keep at it. Good job! However, you can’t fix stupid. Which is obviously you. Night night Adolf.
Rick Sanchez Further, your vision of the world is on the level of ooga booga. You see, Japan has been an occupied vassal state of ours for over 60 years. Flipped into an ally and was an eastern bulwark against communism. Britain raped and pillaged during the revolution and in 1812. We came together and became friends as co capitalistic democracies in the Cold War. Again, we benefited. You see, to stay number one you use your soft and hard power. Diplomacy and war. You, on the other hand would have us weaken our geopolitical power by going at it alone. That’s not how real life works sweety. Go back to your trailer and shut up moron.
You're a drooling idiot. Oh and guess what bud, no one cares whether you decree that any former enemy is always an enemy. Neither do the people that ultimately matter in being in charge of making law. You're in a fringe little corner moping crying like a little twat.,
Now onto the fun part, lets take a look at who have been enemies of ours in the past. I studied history and am a degreed historian. Lets begin, shall we:
1. United Kingdom/British Empire-Defeated in the Revolutionary War and repelled them during the War of 1812.
2. Japan/Empire of Japan-Defeated in WW2-Reconstructed in our image, essentially a vassal state.
3. Canada/British Canada- Throughout most of our history they were a threat to our territorial integrity being a Dominion of the British Empire. They even got so far as to Washington DC in an invasion and burned the White House down. History continued on and upon her independence, relations warmed. To this day, we have the largest unguarded border on the planet, enmeshed in trade. They fought with us in the Persian Gulf War and Persian Gulf War II. They fought and died with us on the D-Day invasion.
4. Spain/Spanish Empire-One of the biggest empires in history peaking in power during the 16th century. They fought us in the Spanish American War around the year 1900 and we obliterated them. They are.a member of NATO and are an important strategic ally.
5. Mexico- They were a Great Power in the Western Hemisphere. We went to war with them in the Spanish American War. Again
after a war, we even marched into Mexico City and raised the American flag. They handed over half of their country to us. We're now friends.
6. Germany-Does it really need reminding? There was Nazi Germany. There was the whole throwing men, women, and babies.
7. Former Warsaw Pact-These are the former puppet states of the Soviet Union(i.e.}: Albania, Bulgaria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Montenegro, Allies/friends all.
8. Vietnam- The Vietnam War. After years of a devastated economy, they opened up to America.
9. People's Republic of China. After their army rolled poured over the Chinese North Korean border causing a stalemate.Today, we're friendly with them, we're entwined with trade.
10. The Confederate States of America- The very pinnacle of enemy to the United States. Southerners, committed treason, in a actually taking up arms against THIS nation. The very definition of treason.
11. Italy- We fought Italy in the two Great Wars. We're now friends and they are a part of NATO.
12. Austria-We fought them in WWII under Hitler's command.
Care for me to go on? I know reading is hard and your type avoid it, but give it a go bucko!
6:43 Can someone with military experience tell me what those caps are on those two soldiers/officers behind and to the left (2nd and 3rd row) of MacArthur while he is at the podium? It almost looks like cross/scope sights on top of their caps. Maybe one of the other allied country's officers, like those ridiculous looking round French caps?
