Beautiful video coverage that gives the viewer a bird's eye view of this historic event.
Outstanding filming.
And Cosgrave signed on the wrong line. As a Canadian I am compelled to say sorry.
As an American, I’d remind both Germany and Japan to accept obliteration over its future as landing nests for sadistic pedophiliac terrorists concerting ‘peace’ as removing national sovereignty for Israeli/Saudi welfare goals.
Taking a constant nuclear bombardment is smooth sailing in comparison.

So polite!
My name is Greg Krenzelok and I am the Director of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps Historical Preservation Group. In our collection is the footlocker stenciled: “Lt. Gen. R.C. Richardson Jr.” In his footlocker are many of his West Point textbooks, other books, and personal effects. Most of the textbooks are signed by him. It’s a wonderful collection that we are very proud of. Lt. General Robert C. Richardson, Jr., was the Commanding General of all Army personnel in the Central Pacific while simultaneously serving as Commanding General of the Hawaiian Department and as Military Governor of Hawaii. He was onboard the U.S.S. Missouri during the surrender of the Japanese. He is the first row of officers in front of Turret No. 2. He is an image you have posted in the video. Thank you so much for posting this video and images. I hope you don’t mind if I have posted it on our website about General Richardson that mainly deals with, he was part of the defense of the West Coast after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Here is a link to our website:

The well-dressed and top-hatted young Japanese man in the delegation was a helpful contributor to "The World at War" series in the 70s. He appears in one of the final episodes. It was commissioned because the main generation - or age group - who had fought and survived the war, were gradually starting to die. It seemed important therefore, to gather the recollections of the many who were still around and able to contribute their stories and memories for posterity.
Superb series and wasn't BBC!!
Just finished reading "Killing the Rising Sun". Thank God for giving America its "Greatest Generation" to end this terrible war.
@Bruno56 I disagree. Gen. MacArthur was well aware of the consequences of punishing a conquered nation without relent as the allies did to Germany after WW1. His restructuring of Japan was by design to enable the Japanese people to rebuild and become an economic powerhouse.
@@dmacarthur5356
True, even though the Soviets or other nations could've beaten Japan eventually. More lives would have been lost than both of the atomic bombs combined. If that's what you're talking about.
@@IllusionistCard That's true about a full land invasion big Japan would have been very costly in terms of American lives and Japanese lives but my point was more so directed to allowing the Japanese to flourish and to have a strong capitalist economic ally in the east as Gen Mac was well aware that communist China would be trouble for the far east in the future and boy was he right.
Eipstein isle thanks you!
How terrible it’d be to not occupy land for pedophiliac sadism.
Cowards.
Oh gosh. What other nonsense from O’Rielly have you consumed?
I wish my dad was still here to see this, he was not there for this event, but did see 1st hand the damage done at 2nd blast site. I can quote gen MacArthur too "there is no winner in war"
Really !! We won the war the little cunts lost it , should have dropped a third for good measure
Gen. MacArthur !!! A cool person. My cousin in the RMCC says he has a few chapters on the General. Amazing to see the soldiers, sailors and airmen so composed - not a trace of unruly behavior. They are now face to face with the persons they fought for the past few months. Very swift & simple ceremony.
Thanks for uploading, nuclearvault.
Until he derailed the Korean War, yep, he was. Whatever happened after WWII messed the guy up, and he thought he was equal to the POTUS...
MacArthur was not only overrated as a field commander, but was also a total weasel.
Not fought for the past few months, they fought them for the Past few YEARS. 😢
It is really heart-warming to know that MacArthur's words of "these proceedings are now closed" proved itself very true. Of course occupation of Japan wasn't without it's problems or misdeeds, but war was over. Peace wasn't the same as it had been before the war, but it was peace and it was all that mattered.
Whatever one might think of MacArthur or even his speaking style, this shows a marked lack of showmanship that he is often accused of. Straightforward and to the point, no histrionics. (Never heard the bit about the parchment paper before. Fitting.)
@@spikespa5208 Actually this speech shows his great ability of showmanship. He presents himself and Allies as matter-of-fact, straight and reliable. He is not a conqueror coming to lord over Japanese, but appointed manager who has a job to do and they can expect him to do it. Sometimes correct show is not to make one.
Ultimately, the Japanese people came to admire and respect MacArthur.
Today, a 9 ft. bronze statue of him stands in Tokyo Square.
MacArthur did much more than defeat Japan. After the surrender, he was appointed by President Truman to commission a new constitution for Japan. It was modeled after our own constitution.
This brought an end to the Emperor having absolute control over the country, and made the Emperor more of an hobart or representative role, similar to the UK Royal Family.
Under MacArthur, the Japanese military was ordered to disband, and forfeit all aircraft carriers. (Said carriers were then given to other countries). Tanks, and most other major weapons and artillery were disabled and scraped. (A few were allowed to only be disabled, and preserved to be kept for museum exhibits.)
MacArthur assisted Japan in rebuilding the country, and bringing it back to being a major industrialized nation. Japan would later take that ball and run with it to become a leader in technology and innovation.
Today, Japan is a peaceful and prosperous country and a close ally to the United States.
I wonder where those pens ended up. What an item for any collection!
1 at West Point, 1 at Annapolis, 1 to Gen. Wainwright,1 to British Gen Percival, and 1 to Mrs. Mac. I think one is unaccounted for or maybe given to one of his staff.
i want the pen
My father was a combat veteran of WW2. He once told me that there are no winners in war. One side loses a hell of a lot more than the other. Every WW2 i ever knew came home with an intense hatred of war and those who cause it.
Thank you us♥
screw the US now. This country is a train wreck
🇺🇸❤🇰🇷
I am delighted the allies restored Korea's independence and saved Korea from the Communists during the 1950s.

It's missing these lines:
"Nor is it for us here to meet, representing as we do a majority of the peoples of the earth, in a spirit of distrust, malice, or hatred.
But rather it is for us, both victors and vanquished, to rise to that higher dignity which alone befits the sacred purposes we are about to serve, committing all of our peoples unreservedly to faithful compliance with the undertakings they are here formally to assume.
It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past -- a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance, and justice."
Yeah the video was edited, but reading the last paragraph in your comment and it seems people today have learned nothing.
General Macarthur and other European whites did not represent a majority of the peoples of the earth. Majority of the peoples of the earth were slaves of the most evil system to exist that of European colonialism. Far more people were killed and exploited under this system then was ever done under the Japanese empire. The true war criminals were those who starved the people of Bengal and dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Britain and the United States! Today we still see that mindset where the death of 20 Ukrainian children is a tragedy and the deaths of 15,000 Palestinian children of no consequence. Why are the Zionist criminals responsible for these atrocities not sanctioned and punished?
Thank you for presenting this video. Wainwright had just been released from a Japanese prison camp and was very thin. I think I have it also on VHS.
A very important event that many gave their lives for.
General Wainwright is the real hero Dugout Doug took took his family and left the Philippines General Wainwright there to take the fall he suffered so much if you notice Dugout Doug handed the first pen to General Wainwright not the second pen not the third pen but the first pen
Actor Leif Erickson was in the Unit that filmed and photographed the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay.
I am by no means a fan of General MacArthur. But his handling of the surrender and occupation of Japan was beyond brilliant. It was the classic example of the right man in the right place doing the right thing and the right time. This is MacArthur at his best.
The only foreign Shogun, who ruled with the wisdom of Nobunaga
The feature film "MacArthur" covers the event brilliantly. It is truly a you are there moment on film. Check it out.
My Father was there that day.
that’s awesome! must’ve been a beautiful moment
same ( my dad is MacArthur )
It's a moving ceremony. Simple, straightforward, and I like how the Americans made it very democratic with sailors draped over every inch of the mighty ship. Also MacArthur speaks very well, behind the stiff salutes they would have been very emotional
At the age of 12, beginning the 6th grade, I saw this movie theater newsreels soon after it occurred.
Correction: 7th grade.
And here you are, 75 years later, seeing it again.
So ended the worst conflict in the history of mankind.
Naive.
@@OneAngrehCat
So WWII wasn't the worst conflict? What was then?
@@cortster12 not was. Will be. That's why that line of thought is naive.
Objective reality unless u got string theory sorted out
i dig the way macarthur carries himself with those baggy pants.

But the final surrender was Sept. 3, 1 pm local time, Baigo, Philipines. The Missouri rolled into the port with Wainwright & others aboard. My Dad was assigned as special aide to Wainwright at the surrender of the very fearsome "Tiger of Malaysia," as Gen. Yamashita was known. My Dad took his sword. Been hunting for film etc. for years. Yup. Got here the surrender documents!
Was your dad a member of the Allied Translator and Interpreter Service ? ( ATIS ).. I believe it was Lt Stratton from that unit who was tasked with the interrogation of Yamashita. My grandfather was in same unit there .
@@BK-em9xf Fascinating. Hit enormous pile of documentation not accessible easily at moment. So this is all by memory...If you look up Lt. Gen. Wilhelm Styer.... commander of western Pacific. Papa was 2nd in charge of communications... assigned to Gen. Wainwright day of surrender. Took Yamashita 's sword. He wrote about it. If you are familiar with the famous surrender photo, with everyone sitting,Papa was just out of sight supervising photography .
Gosh your grandpa and my papa same place at s moment in history.
@@lizbethglickman2725 yes.. momentous event ..I will look up those names when I can.. I don't know if my grandfather was onboard Missouri on the day.. your Dad was obviously very significant for the honour of receiving that sword..do you still have it ? The stories it could tell..
Or do you mean when Yamashita surrendered in the hills of Luzon ?
@@BK-em9xf Not Luzon hills. No. Papa couldn't keep the sword. I got tons of memorabilia. I could show you articles of surrender, communications room, final telegram to Washington DC from Papa. Am laying down today. Getting lousy medical care in Boston.
Papa eventually was sent to Okinawa to spend months there "cleaning up." I have the army Thanksgiving menu for Okinawa 1945. Do you have memorabilia? We should do a website.
And Pres. ROOSEVELT looking down with a smile......
General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, American Caesar, his finest hour.

I have visited the USS Missouri and have seen the Plaque inbedded in the Deck where the Instrument of Surrender was signed by the Japanese. Very Historical Site.
The narrator says. "And now, in a Navy launch, the Japanese surrender party arrives. They are headed by Agent Mamoru Shigemitsu, Foreign Minister of the Japanese surrender Cabinet, who was wounded by a Korean patriot in Shanghai years ago and walks on an artificial leg."
The Korean patriot he pointed out is none other than Yun Bong-gil. Many military generals were killed by the bombs thrown by him, but Shigemitsu was lucky enough to survive and signed the surrender document at the end of the war. It is an interesting scene from history. I am always grateful to our Patriot Yun Bong-gil. May he rest in peace!
Every time I watch this clip, I think of doc Holliday laying his revolvers down on the poker table and saying “there, now we can be friends again”
7:21 when a Canadian can't read English and signs at the French spot
Still kills me and I am Canadian lol like really my dude lmao
The pen that McArthur used was a Parker Duofold. Anyone knows what are the others ?
Bics and Bic lighters.
Where is now the Hiroito's surrendered samurai sword?, in a musseum, a military instalation or in a secret place? I like to see the american victory symbol.
If you refer to Kusanagi no Tsurugi it is (or very much should be) in Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya. Trying to retrieve by Americans would have lead to new war. It would have been like stealing US Declaration of Independence as war trophy, but worse.
Enough Day on Surrender of Japan in this agree in End of World War II.
Call of duty world at war flashbacks..
Why most clips cut the most important word of Gen.Mcarthur ?
If you ask me Admiral Nimitz should have been the supreme allied commander.
Zip Zenac I did now fuck off
MacArthur was probably the most intelligent military leader in American history, and no one could have done what he did to restore Japan's civilization and good will. And he wrote all his own brilliant speeches.
@@MrAquinas1 Good point. He still loses points in my book for wanting to nuke China in the Korean War.
Thankfully they've been meek and mild ever since this day. Keep it up.
4:56 barber fail vs self-hair-cut fail.
○ On September 2, 1945 in Japan, World War Two ended - with Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
○ On September 2, 1945 in Ba Đình Square (Hanoi, Vietnam), President Ho Chi Minh officially read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Why is his voice so intimidating?
“60 million lives were lost as the result of World war two, It was the most destructive and deadly conflict in human history.” -Call of Duty World At War
“If my sons didn’t want war, there wouldn’t be any” - not allowed to mention it, but you can find that out in a quick search
- Real Life*
80 million people lost their lives....wow
Probably includes famines such as the one in Bengal which was difficult to relieve because of war conditions.
@@jrt818 sometimes i just sit there and think of how terrible our past had to suffer both ww1 and ww2. Sometimes I think we're lucky to be living in a better society than 80 years ago.
@@PolaroidDG
A better society... until people too cushy with said society decide to end the good times. As is slowly beginning to happen. Enjoy it while it lasts. Because you've seen nothing yet.
@@cortster12 I just don't want my kids to grow up in dystopia, but I guess that's not my choice
@@PolaroidDG I also don't want my kids to grow up in a dystopia, which is why we must never forget the past. All of it.
Must had been crazy to been on that ship
I watch this and think about these period. Italy, my country, was in ruins. My father told me that thanks to the Marshall programm Italy received enough food to survive otherwise.... it 'd have meant the end. Unfortunately many people forgot everything.
Emperor's of School Idol Tomodachi.
thanks for the US for helping philippines
This video is not very relevant, but the reason why Shigemitsu Mamoru limps is at the expense of Korean independence activist Dr. Yoon Bong-gil.
HORRAY FOR THE UNITED STATES! CRUSAIDE OF PEACE AND LIBERTY!
2:10 americans sailors responding to the military salute of the Japanese generals.
Looked like they were saluting the officer in front of the Japanese delegation. The salutes stopped immediately when the Japanese passed.
If i got 1 of the 5 pens used for the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, the auction would be so expensive 🤔🤔
It's supposed to be 'how a single blue pen ended ww2'
World War ll. Epic. Pure Drama.
Which was the ship,I mean was it of U.S.A?

Classic MacArthur
Distrust a piece of paper , we should have flown a BigOne over their country daily in case they try something.
Shame on you Japan!

Typical of the French to get a place at the table- giving the illusion of being important in a war that others have won!
Japan did reform greatly.

COD5 Ending
I came to see it on National Liberation Day of Korea.
If americans did not drop the 2 nukes. in 2020 now still have japan invade???
No they would've been defeated eventually by Soviets or whatever but more lives would have been lost. So using the atom bombs was the right call.
The U.S. is in need of another
"Great Generation"
But what will it take? Preferably not something as catastrophic as WWII. Not holding out much hope, though.
A WW3 will destroy the planet
his General McArthur
and wht i hear it " General Nagata" 🗿
2:04
At the same time General Macarthur was part of granting members of Unit 731 immunity to find out what they learned from human experiments. Maybe he got his karma in the end with his dismissal during the Korean war🤔🤨
Korea eventually became independent from Japan. Thank you for Allied powers(USA,UK,Taiwan)
2:52 - 3:08 cod waw ending
yes
A highly debatable topic ^Was the US fair in dropping the atom bomb on Japan^. That is history now. Hopefully we can look forward to even better tomorrows.
Its not debatable, dummy
100%read into wat japan did to China pretty fucked up
Dropped to end that war.....right now!! Not next year or the year after.

MacArthur betrayed his country and the allies by allowing Hirohito to avoid trial.
nah
He had a boss called Harry Truman who had something to say about that thing.
No. It was impossible to control Japan without the emperor.
@@wonjubhoy I disagree. Japan should have been totally broken, then they could have been controlled. IMO their behaviour was far worse than the Germans and yet they've never truly been held accountable.
If Hirohito stand trial, it will be like imperial Germany after ww1, one certain party rise up from time and boom another world war

PhD in surrender until.they met Afghanistan.
you lost the war get over it
Japan..woohoo!! 😬
無条件降伏文書に戦勝国として署名した全ての国々が、米軍による日本人の乳幼児を標的にした無差別爆撃に関して連帯責任を負うべし。All countries which signed an unconditional surrender document as the victorious nations should bear joint liability about the indiscriminate bombing that targeted the Japanese infants by the United States Armed Forces.
即ち、全ての戦勝国が戦争犯罪を犯したのです。In other words, all victorious nations violated war crimes.
No shit, Remember you bombed Shanghai and terrorized Nanking ? what about million innocents there ?? How about the whole South East Asia ? if you did not sign the surrender quick enough you might have the 3rd mushroom bomb !
Your tora tora tora became shit shit shit.
Was hoping Truman would have used nuke bomb number 3
Many Chinese and allied prisoners of war have expressed the opinion that all Japanese towns and cities should have been nuked. The only concern about Japanese civilian lives that I know of were expressed by allied politicians and atomic scientists.
earth rise You are extremely ignorant. If you had done 15 minutes of research you would have found that the Americans went far out of their way to avoid civilian casualties. Dropping leaflets prior to bombing raid if a target was near civilian populations was not done by the Japanese but by the Americans.
