      The Chinese under Chiang Kai-Shek also had some of the most brutal fighting conditions imaginable, in addition to our boys. What's even crueller is when they failed to hold cities, the Japanese often went in and committed the worst attrocities you could ever imagine humans doing to one another ("the Rape of Nanking" being one of the most infamous).

      @Ryusei Sasaki The Battles of Okinawa and Iwo Jima were so horrific specifically because the Japanese commanders forbade their troops from banzai charging. In earlier battles like Guadalcanal, Attu, Cape Gloucester, and Saipan the Japanese organized massive banzai charges against American positions resulting in the entire Japanese garrisons being wiped out. At Okinawa and Iwo Jima they built thousands of mutually supportive defensive positions, each containing only a few soldiers, forcing the Americans to individually assault each position at great loss of life.

      Yes because the US cut off over 80% of their oil supply, as was the reason for the war. They had to attack and win a war against the allies before their oil reserves ran dry (6 months) after the US embargoed them following their occupation of Indochina. In their eyes, since procuring a peace treaty unfavorably would be not honorable the only choice they had was to go to war or lose the war and china and their colonial possessions.

      Also, the Allies main focus was defeating the Nazi’s first. Which means the majority of their military force was liberating Europe. I’m not saying they “gave up” territory in the pacific, but they were more willing to “lose” in the short term while fighting on the European front.

      Not to make this already fantastic vid completely overwhelming, but it would be cool to find a way to depict the US submarine campaign against Japan. US subs almost immediately took the offensive, quite amateurishly at first, much more lethally as the war went on, ultimately crippling Japan's economy and rendering all their land grabs useless as they were unable to bring any of their ill-gotten resources back home. It is interesting that Admiral Halsey, a carrier man, considered the submarine the single most important weapon in the US inventory.

      The funniest thing is that Japan provoked USSR in 1935, 1939 and all time in 1941-45 (very small but numerous border incidents). And finally USSR started a war in 1945... its ended less than months later.
      P.S. Its hard to say what exactly was the reason of the Japan capitulation, because 2nd nuke was dropped in the same day USSR started the war. In my opinion they capitulated mainly because they lost their field armys and influence in mainland region because of USSR, since those armies were large and pretty expirienced.

It stood no chance against the now-experienced Soviet troops. While I have no doubt the Soviets was a pretty good factor in Japan's surrender, just about everything points to the Americans and their nukes that ended the war. Even Hirohito's speech points to the atomic bombs as the reason Japan surrendered, and plans for Japan's defence showed them almost totally focused on defending from American invasion and very little focus was given to the Soviets at all.

    The video is great, however there is one thing that is under represented. The Chinese Resistance was accurately displayed, but what wasn't was the Filipino Resistance. In fact, the Filipino Resistance was so effective that by the end of the war (because the war actually ended and the peace treaty was signed while the liberation was still in progress), only 12 of the 48 provinces were controlled by the Japanese. One of the most notable things done by the Resistance is making the island of Mindoro much easier to take so the US could build airfields to gain air superiority over the Philippines. Between 260,000 and 1 million Filipinos rose up in defience against their Japanese occupiers.

There's a tug of war over Papua New Guinea, but there is almost no headway in the islands until 1944, and by June 6th, 1944 the US had only just taken the Marshall islands. So, all the famous island campaigns - Palau, Guam, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the liberation of the Philippines, all took place between June 6th 1944 and September 2, 1945.

So by the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands in October 1942 the Japanese had again a larger carrier force. And they sank another US carrier there (reducing the carrier pacific fleet to just the Enterprise (although the Saratoga would finish repairs soon)), at the cost of half their naval aviation. The result is that by much of the following months both the Japanese and US navy carrier forces were too weak to go in the offensive. By fall 1943 the US had finished a bunch of Essex so they were able to start their island hopping campaign in force.

      ​@@Potatotenkopf Only one I can agree on is with the French, (even then you ought to expect more from a literal superpower) but the Japanese navy had numerous engagements with the Dutch navy. China being underequipped is a huge myth, they even had enough firearms for guerilla combatants dressed as civilians. A large portion of US lend lease went to the Chinese in aid for the war, which included many American aircraft - which is why the Japanese air forces would pretty much only fight American fighter planes over China despite zero american pilots being there.
      Britain was probably the toughest foe the Japanese faced for the first six months of the war, and they were not undersupplied or undermanned by any means.
      Also I believe the estimates for the "Germany first" policy are off, it is often said the United States only devoted 15% of its resources to the Japanese war....which makes zero sense, and I believe is an artificial number, especially when you account for the very significant resources put out for the US navy, which was entirely made for the Japanese and not Germany. For every destroyer Japan sunk, the US commissioned 10 more...
      Keep in mind that almost all these battles Japan fought, Japan was the one actually under a disadvantage especially in terms of manpower, yet they still managed to defeat HEAVILY fortified fortresses. Japan shocked the entire world when Singapore, Britain's flagship city fortress manned to the teeth fell to the Japanese, even Churchill stated that this was worst defeat in all of British military history. Same with Malaya. We can also clump Australia along with Britain, but even then they contributed significant manpower in fighting the Japanese, ask any US WW2 veteran, and they almost certainly fought alongside an Aussie.
      I have to disagree sir, they are often UNDER-stated as a force, especially due to Hollywood propaganda portraying any Japanese or German soldier as a highly incompetent idiot who can't zero a sight for their life - the intention and purpose of this is obvious by now. Japan was quite literally the toughest foe the most powerful military, the US, had to ever face, and the highest number of American casualties was to the Japanese. 600,000 lost in less than 5 years, compare that to the entire Vietnam war with only 60,000 lost in over 20 years...

Japan didn't reach its peak in 6 months they started climbing in 1894 when they went to war against the Chinese and won and reached their peak in 1942, meaning 48 years this is still a fraction of the time the French and British took but 6 months is absurd.

Three carriers were in the Pacific at the time - Enterprise (which survived the war), Lexington (lost in her first major battle at Coral Sea), and Saratoga (which was hit by a Japanese submarine, and as a result didn't fight until the Guadalcanal campaign). Yorktown and Wasp were both in the Altantic (along with the other half of the American battleships), and Hornet was just starting her shakedown cruise. As such, those three ships were out of reach of the Japanese. Further, the Essex-class had already been ordered. Work had started on Essex herself several months earlier, the second and third ships of the class were also being built, and the keels were laid on the fourth and fifth ships of the class in December 1941. Seven ships of the class were commissioned in 1943 - more carriers than had been in the IJN task force that had attacked Pearl Harbor, each carrying many more aircraft than their IJN counterparts. And many more followed over the next year and a half. By the end of the war, there would be more active Essex-class carriers alone than the entirety of the Japanese carrier arm (including the IJN's light carriers). And that's without including the Independence-class light carriers, the new Midway-class (the lead ship, Midway, was commissioned days after the end of the war), or the absolutely ridiculous number of escort carriers the Americans built. The Japanese had to win - and win decisively, as they couldn't afford an even trade of carriers - *every* time, as they could only replace their carriers very slowly. The Americans only had to get lucky once, which they did at Midway.

Those Essex-class carriers were always going to arrive, and the Japanese were going to lose. And that would have happened even if the original Japanese plan to establish a line of island fortresses had been accomplished. Also, part of the Japanese plan required the US to stick with its current commitments to the Atlantic effort. The disastrous convoy PQ 17 operation partially soured the Americans on that, and USS Washington participated in her famous victory at Guadalcanal explicitly because she'd been pulled from the Atlantic due to American frustration.

      If every island in the Pacific was like Okinawa and Iwo Jima, I think you would find the USA Government much more likely to reach an agreement, even the unconditional surrender of the Japanese wasn't unconditional, the USA made concessions even though it claims it didn't, the reality was the Japanese weren't going to surrender enless there was.
      The American population getting upset was of little concern for the Japanese as they were ready to die in the tens of millions, the USA population not really in the same league for that, maybe if they were defending there home land it would be a different story, but the Japanese were unlike anyother nation in ww2 or since, they called for the glorious death of 100million Japanese and they ment it, that's why the USA drop the nukes on them, they didn't want to invade the home islands, as the estimated casualties were in the millions, something that would effect the USA economy drastically compered to how little manpower they actually lost in ww2 luckily for them, not to mention how much they made off the war and became the world dominant power.
      They would have fought a war more like the soviets did against Germany, something the USA didn't want.
      Yes, the USA industry was much bigger than the Japanese. The Japanese had and built over 700 major naval vessels, the USA 1,200. The USA built about 6,000 other ships like the liberty, the Japanese about 500.
      The Japanese merchant fleet was bringing in over 65 million tons of supplies to the home islands, about the same as the UK before the war with the USA, then it dropped to over 35 million tons till 1944 for the Japanese.

The other US units on the central islands would have continued the fight after the surrender of Bataan and Corregidor. But Gen. Wainwright, the overall commander in the Philippines after MacArthur left for Australia, was basically taken hostage by the Japanese and forced to read an order for all US forces in the Philippines to surrender. All organized resistance ended by June 1942, but then many individual American soldiers from the central islands refused to surrender and instead formed combined American-Filipino guerilla units.

      What's even more fucked is that there were still some generals and politicians in Japan who saw the Soviet invasion and nuclear bombings as a way to escape the embarrassment of surrendering because of Japan's severe internal problems.
      Some even wanted to keep fighting.

      The role of the USSR is this war is underestimated. The Soviets did what the allies couldn't do in 4 years. The atomic bombings were likely just an excuse for the capitulation, because the power of 1 atom bomb was about as big as 1 carpet bombing, and couldn't really scare Japan all that much. But the Manchurian operation was likely the thing that made Japan realize they were hopeless.

      @CKS1949 the communist party of Malaya did reign for 14 days and killed many people who were suspected of collaborating with the Japanese.
      Man, I remember my elder female relatives telling me how they used to hide from the Japanese soldiers. (I came from Sarawak, Malaysia) The Japanese were scouring for kidnap victims to be held as comfort women, and the families were living in fear that the girls would be seen. Girls were abducted never to be seen again.
      Inflation (money was basically worthless), lack of food (you cannot find rice, so you need to eat random cassava), extremely violent situations (massacres were often and done really brutally), religious coercion (the Japanese forced everyone, including Christians and Muslims, to bow down facing Japan (and the emperor)). Life was terrible.

    • @w4lr6s
      @w4lr6s 3 роки тому +3

      Because the Japanese still held a bit of territory back then, I for one thing (talking from the POV of Southeast Asian) am ambivalent about the atomic bombs. The perspective was that, it ended the war and Japanese rule in Southeast Asia practically overnight, hence the Southeast Asians were spared from fighting between the Allies and the Japanese, as well as a quicker liberation from the brutal, oppressive Japanese rule.

    Hello dear historian. Once again, I have to correct a small mistake in Indochina. The administration was loyal to Vichy (Governor Admiral Decoux) until March 1945 and the Japanese occupation began on that date ....; before that, the presence of Japanese troops was stationing forces following a negotiated agreement between Vichy and Tokyo.
