Will you tackle Majapahit kingdom aswel. We really like the classical conquest
Hello Kings and Generals, don't forget about "Dutch East/Indonesian campaign" full video on UA-cam. Just keep doing to upload new video about second world war 😊.
This series is by far your longest running and your most in depth dive into any historical era or conflict and from the start till now I've never been disappointed. Having my grandfather serve in the CBI theater this series holds a particular place in my heart and I look forward to every new release and will look forward up to the end of 45'. Absolutely keep it up K&G team 👍
Wizards and warriors has a 4 and a half video on warhammer
@npierce14 this is just a 3 hour video of a much much larger series on the pacific war. He was talking about the entire series, not this video.
@@frantictoast3741 you are so right idk what I was even thinking they started doing these
Videos 2 years ago and roll 1 sometimes 2 out every week
@@npierce14 so why are you using a 4 and a half long video from a different channel as an example to try to compare it to their longest running series that clocks well, well, well over 4 and a half hours long?
@@frantictoast3741 ……I literally just said you were right and idk what I was thinking and W&W is the same channel bro that’s why they have it linked on here
For those interested on the chronology of the series at 2:05:06 ends the last public available video, the rest is new.
Thank you
An epic saga, the go-to choice for those wanting to dive into the Battle of Guadalcanal. Thanks for your consistently high-quality production!👏
Please "No bended Knee" Merrill B Twining.
My uncle served with a construction battalion in this campaign and said it was hell all the way. He and most of the battalion were very sick and it took weeks for them to recover. They started on Guadalcanal and built some of the airstrips that were mentioned along side the SeeBees. They were always short of clean water and could not wash up because they needed water for drinking, their rations rotted as did their clothing and shoes. When he and the battalion worked on Luzon their clothing and shoes were better quality and lasted longer. The Japanese had it even worse as their logistics could not keep up with their needs.
This series always reminds me of something that many Japanese people forget. It wasnt only Japanese and American people who fought, slaughtered, and sacrificed their lives on Pacific Front
This is a massive bin of information put together in way that makes one of the longest and most complex campaigns of WW2 readily accessible and easily digestible. I've been a WW2 Solomons Campaign buff since the mid 70s after reading Air War and Guadalcanal Diary, and even after reading just about every book published on the subject since then, it was still hard to coherently piece together. Thank you for taking the time to weave it all together in a masterful manner, worthy of a modern war college.
If I was a history teacher, I would probably get in trouble for showing too much UA-cam videos to the students. Honestly a lot of great history channels on UA-cam that I’ve learned a lot more from than I ever did in history class. But that’s the American public school system at work for ya.
I don't remember learning anything about WW2 in high school. We learned about Hannibal crossing the Alps & other ancient battles like Agememnon sacking Troy cuz his brother's wife ran away with the Prince of Troy. Stupid kid got his whole family & kingdom killed & ransacked over a piece of ass. I think that they covered the Pearl Harbor attack & the atomic weapons being dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki but pretty much nothing in between. And I always wondered what happened for the 4 years in between. I don't even remember learning about the Battle of Midway in school. Or the Battle of Britain. I learned about all of that simply by reading books. I would hear about stuff in movies & knowing you can't trust Hollywood to give a clear picture of what happened, even when they are trying. If something interested me I'd hit the library to see what I could find. And in the words of JRR Tolkien... "If you want to find something, there is nothing like looking. You don't always find what you were looking for but you usually find something." That is a statement that will probably forever remain true. And in a quest for knowledge of what happened.. there are two sides to every story & the truth lies somewhere in between them. And then there are facts too. A fact is something that is the truth no matter what side you are on.
Thank you so much for _consistently_ producing such high end content. You are very much appreciated!
What a time to be alive to be able to see quality documentaries like this one for free
Absolutely amazing, little less known campaign in the pacific and definitely deserve this huge amount of effort, amazing video!
"little less known" is what every one says about every other battle/campaign ever. I know the Marines dont live on laurels but the "1" on the blue diamond literally stands for Guadalcanal. The story got around.
@@Person0fColor no shit, anywhere the marines go it’ll get around, but compared to other campaigns especially in Europe, this is a bit lesser known.
@@Person0fColor Yet, this very battle is about the Battle for New Georgia, which is indeed seldom covered in most documentaries (even most Pacific-centric documentaries ignore it in favor of skipping to the Battle of Tarawa).
My Grandpa was part of the Guadalcanal & Solomons campaign back in WWII! He used to tell me so many stories about the campaigns.
Was your grandpa in the 25th Infantry? Mine was. He served in all campaigns in WWII.
@@Scott-kc5fg lemme look at my Grandpa's records & I'll get back to you. My gut tells me he was 3rd Marines.
You all are legends, especially after the pearl harbor and midway video.
Terrible how this theatre of WW2 is so overlooked. Same as the Aussies/Japan in New Guinea.
This is an incredible series of videos on the Pacific war!
My grandfather served in the pacific and in my opinion I think the pacific was a worst theater of war than Europe.
In Europe soldiers liberated cities and got women in celebration before back to war. In the Pacific, you got jungle rot, malaria, suicidal pilots, guerrilla warfare, and possibility of being stranded in an island, drowned or worse a pow camp by the Japanese.
Keep it up K&G. You guys dont disappoint with your videos. ❤👍
Quick test of one's knowledge of WW2 PTO history: Can you state significant events that occurred at Pavuvu, Peleliu, and Palawan during the war?
So nice to see the WW2 stuff again for plebians :D thank you
Is this the former patreon only videos combined? I was really bummed you made it from free to patreons
I was DEVESTATED when that happened. 😥
@@blockmasterscottI was too I have ADHD and can’t watch the long form videos
Thanks for your hard work KnG! as always!
Incredible docu-series! Thank you.
This is the info I have been looking for without having to read through a ton of books. If I weren't so old and had more time I would stop the video to read all the extra info included. I may come back some day and do just that. Thank you.
i love long videos. i genuinely believe that this wouldve been even better if it was twice as long and went into even greater detail. and the day by day thingy at the top helped keep everything in order so it wasnt just an unintelligible inundation of information. it was more like taking turns in a total war videogame. an easy breakdown on wtf happened all over the place that day
This is an excellent video - well researched and well presented. You have to really pay attention, though as there are a lot of moving parts and it is easy to lose track of the larger picture. It speaks to the command and staff work, especially on the Allied side, to manage a truly joint force (all US branches plus New Zealanders and Fijian commandoes) in so many locations. My father served in the US Army this region at the time so it has a special meaning to me.
The biggest series on this channel continues!
That thumbnail absolutely slaps 💯
Türkiye de ww2 ve tarihe meraklı çok insan var. Türkçe alt yazı desteği için teşekkür ederim. Uzun videolar en anlaşılır ayrıntılı 🙏🙏
Truly like this format. Excellent job!
Oh boy, an early birthday present for me!?
Admirals and generals aren’t built like this anymore. The quality of our military leaders is severely watered down.
35.10 Note on Wildcat firing times: That 18 seconds of firing time assumes you supply power and use ALL guns at once. Turning on only 2 power switches at a time, increases your firing time by using only 2 of 4 or 2 of 6 guns at once. With Japanese aircraft being lightly armored and the captured A6m from the Aleutians having been evaluated by this time, I don't doubt the claims of Lt.Sewett. ua-cam.com/video/L27bpIKlqo0/v-deo.html
Loaded with Incendiary ammunition, twin 50's can do a LOT.
Amazing to hear about some actual cooperation between the IJA and IJN. One wonders what might have happened at Guadalcanal if the Japanese could have managed this.
Nothing would have happened, by February 1942 the Japanese are already over extending their lines just 3 months after Pearl. By September while the Japanese and the Marines are battling for Guadalcanal America is already on a war footing that Japan cant match, The liberty merchant ships by September 1942 are being made in 4 weeks flat, the Robert E Peary is built that autumn in just 4 days. The Japanese cannot build like the Americans and once production outpaces tonnage sunk its all over for Germany and Japan.
What if the Marines had a fully equipped marine division prior to Pearl? What if during the 30's we heeded Japan's challenge and after the dissolution of the five power treaty we just went ahead and started building aircraft carriers the way the Japanese did?
Oddly enough Japan and Germany's best course of action would have been to keep the Americans out of the war, but for Japan this was impossible buts its only America's commitment to non intervention isolationism that allows the German and Japanese empire to grow. The minute America is pulled into war with Japan and then Germany the war is lost. Japan didnt do enough at Pearl, Coral Sea and Midway, maybe they couldve pounded the Americans so hard they would have lost the stomach for a fight, which I doubt, but by Guadalcanal the ship has already sailed and the Japanese while they still have naval superiority are really having their own strategy turned against them. Yamamoto wanted to draw out the PACFleet for a decisive engagement, but what is actually happening is the Japanese Navy is the one being drawn into naval engagements it cant afford to lose or even draw, it must deliver the knockout blow. Guadalcanal for the Japanese was a great expenditure of men and material, for the Americans its a morale booster and gives America some experience with their new enemy.
Same thing happened during the American civil war so long as the South was in the union is could sure up its interest in slavery and defend it through the SCOTUS and President and senate and congress, but the minute they become radical secessionists and declare the only way to defend it is through a policy of war and aggression thats the minute they lose control of the situation which is what war really is. Its an admission that you can no longer defend your interests through conventional means. The Japanese for decades were involved in Navy conventions and peace treaties with the Western powers, once Japan realizes they can non longer obtain their national goal through these means they seek a policy of war and aggression.
@@Person0fColor Counterfactuals are always tricky, but specifically at the start of Watchtower, American resources were very limited. They had a big division but not all their equipment and 3 good regiments. With collaboration between the army and navy the Japanese had more resources than that -- just ended up delivering the piecemeal and launching unfounded attacks.
Now if your point is that the US could have survived a loss at Guadalcanal with little to no long term impact, I agree. In all probability in just means that they progress through the central pacific as their greater resources start to come online. Once they have Essex class carriers with Hellcats everything that follows is just a matter of time and a loss on Guadalcanal might actually have led to more resources being allocated to the Pacific. (Actually I think everything is a matter of time after Midway and after the US sorts out their torpedo issues)
I'm thinking specifically of Guadalcanal itself which from the Japanese point of view is a study in disfunction. A loss on Guadalcanal would never have made the Americans give up.
@@ronjohnson6916nonsense. Guadalcanal was unholdable. Even if it was held it would’ve been bypassed. You sound delusional
@@rohanthandi4903 Invective doesn't make an opinion more compelling. The loss of the First Marines was certainly possible at the time -- Vandergrift was concerned about that possibility. Does it change the eventual outcome of the war? No Does it change the outcome of the next few months? Yes.
@@ronjohnson6916 my bad totally confused u for another guy who was trolling lol
Jesus Christ!!!!
Imagine if ALLLLL their videos were this long.❤
This is impressive work, great video!
This is the best documentary of pacific war❤
Nope, just only one of the few you have seen. Tubi has the best documentaries for Marines in the Pacific hands down
Amazing work K&G crew!
3+ hours on post Guadalcanal? I'm in.
Cool. I just got the giant neoprene map for Pacific Victory from Columbia Games, and have it all set up on the table behind me. And this epic documentary pops up in my feed. Merry Christmas!!!!
Well done as always!
This is like a college course on the Pacific war. Very well done.
I know you folks at K&G and Wizards and Warriors are working on new projects all the time, but I would love to see a video of this detail about Iwo Jima. Keep it up! I can't wait for the next installment about the Horus Heresy on W&W! 🤟
Very interesting from start to finish. Thank you.
I am starting to think this channels is better than the history channel
Central Solomons Campaign=knife fight in a phone booth. Man, it was just a slug match between 2 forces!
What's amazing is that the Americans were actually conducting over seas offensives just under 15 months after their fleet was smashed at Pearl.
15 months? dood 2nd Marine Raider Bn was in action 8 months to the day after Pearl, what you mean 15 months?
@@Person0fColor Damn, I forgot about them taking the airfield in August, I had too much tunnel vision on thinking about the Solomon Campaign in the beginning of 43 lol.
No it wasn’t lol
G'day, greetings from down under.
That was brilliant, most enjoyable. 👍
Merry Christmas to you and yours andd a safe and well 2024.
Been waiting for this for a long time.
This is a masterpiece! 🎉
Another engrossing, informative, masterpiece. Thank you.
Love your stuff!!! Keep it up!!
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
I know what I'm listening to at work tomorrow
Aww yeah, just got off work after a busy Sunday, and have 3 hours of K&G to relax to😎time to rip a bong and some knowledge
Very excellent summation...
@KingsandGenerals You should write a history book with links made up mostly of your videos and sell it to the public school system. You wouldnt have to do much beyond printing out the transcript lol These videos are so awesome.
I just cant get enough 💙💙😂😂👌🏼
Uncle KIA USS San Francisco (CA-38) Naval Battle of Guadalcanal 12-13 November 1942. Gone too soon, Rest In Peace. All gave some, some gave all. 🫡
Luv it may do for day off :)
Thanks!
Excellent topic on a time peroid which no one covers. Lot of ppl call 1943 halftime but really its anything but
Indeed. Kursk, Tunisia, New Georgia, Operation Cartwheel, the North Burma campaign, the Dniper River crossings, Sicily and Italy, etc. 1943 was a very busy year for both the Allies and Axis, as well as the year where things turned decidedly on the Allies' favor.
I love the video editing, general icons and the visuals of this video. Big fan of all your videos.
Very much appreciated.
Thank you for further update on this series I'm hooked and love watching everything you do and look forward to more videos
A lot of history there, yet I wish you could have included more information on the PT Boats.
I nominate this for submission to the National Archives.
For the Kings and Generals. For the algorithm.
Holy shit, I was waiting for the next long video on the Pacific War, really nice!!! Bit of feedback, can you keep the info boxes just 2 more seconds on the screen? I stop the video for each and every one of them, even if I know it gets summarised in the narration
very nice TY KG for doing this way so i can catch up on ones i miss. since you switch to prem. also can you more like this please .
Christmas comes early!! Hey Kings and Generals, have you ever thought (once the series is complete) about releasing a hardcover coffee table book of this series? Like,
😊
Wow what an awesome idea! I would buy this.
Thank you , K & G .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
Such awesome videos. They're very informative and entertaining
Excellent video.
A video or series on the wars of Joshua from the Bible would be fascinating
Yesssss!!!! Woohoo!!!!
The fact that the USN in 1943 used night tactics for bombardment, surface interception and convoy movement, just what the IJN did mostly in 1942, also the USN was getting more proficient with nighttime gunnery on their ships and tactics. How the tide has turned
Most WWII documentaries quickly pass thru the Solomons campaign. There's so much more that happened. Brave men indeed.
Thank u
It is considered a Central Solomons Campaign was so widely called "New Georgia Campaign" in this video regardlessly, but the indication since the latest episode of Pacific War Series having they waited back since on July 2023.
Hope that on going would like to be more post videos of Pacific War Series
Amazing
the graphics are so helpful!
A fantastic piece of work. It really shows the brilliance of our military once they got rolling.
2/230rd officer: "Sir, the enemy has overrun us!"
Lt.-Col. Yano Keiji: "Shhh, we must be vewy quiet."
USA, after Guadalcanal: "Oh yeah. It's all coming together."
I put a thumbs up before watching it... 😂
Excelente
MacArthur was deluisional in his ability to Lead. His arrogance was well known.
Do you think you could do a long form of the ENTIRETY of WW2
At approx. 1:36:00, The Death of the Machine Gun Cruiser
what about doing a series about just the PT boats in the solomons. and what about PT 109 and JFK??
Why didn’t the Japanese sent the Kokotai fighter wing, the best Japanese fighter group in the area to escorted Yamamoto.. this wing composed of Japanese aces Nishizawa, Saburo Sakai…
53:44 Ugaki's Betty Bomber OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T "disintegrate," because he and a pilot survived. They CRASH-LANDED the plane in the water and were barely able to swim to shore
These combined videos for non paying UA-cam viewers are challenging to follow but are better than nothing.
Challenging maybe for a minimum wage worker
@@rohanthandi4903 in the beginning of this Pacific War project K&G stated that each week (Tuesday) they would release a Pacific War video which matches the current calendar. That was done for over 100 episodes and I watched them all. That pacing gave gave a sense of how the battles progressed.
K&G then stopped those weekly releases for non paying viewers due to needing more funding from viewers.
Now we have 3 hour + videos.
* In the prior weekly format there would be a focus on one aspect of the Pacific War campaigns. It started with weekly videos about the causes of the war. Then it moved to campaigns in Singapore and the Philippines. One week it would be the Aleutian Islands. Another week it would switch to Burma. Another week it would go back to Guadalcanal. Another week it would focus on the New Georgia campaign and the battle of Munda Point. Several weeks were spent on the New Guinea campaign.
The weekly releases fitting the current calendar was the preferred format by K&G. It gave a sense of how the generals and admirals of each side were countering each other’s moves. It was very interesting to see the details of that strategic chess match.
But eventually a viewer had to pay see that.
Now we have the combined videos which do not have the weekly focus on the minute strategic detail of the original K&G videos.
If it wasn't for the logistical situation, Japanese Navy surface at this point of the war was better in skill and weaponry. It will not be true in a matter of a year later. Interesting break down of development of the USN.
Having 3 million people attend a funeral is mindboggling! Yamamoto must have been a legend to the Japanese
Yeah, I had thought that by the conclusion of the Guadal Canal campaign that the USN had finally realized how devastating the IJN's long lance torpedoes were & that they had a very significant range. In watching this video, it becomes apparent that evidently the USN was still ignorant of the capabilities of the type 93 torpedo. And you would also think that they would hear them on the hydrophones before they launched their own torpedoes. Although I'm fairly certain the USN torpedoes were still having problems at this point too.
Thanks. This exceptional account, and others, mix well with the Japanese personal accounts presently available. 😎
There is a time stamp to find what it was released already on previous videos and those reserved for patrons?
20:40 MacArthur was more of a liability than an asset. Change my mind.
He was a moron
First event prior to the Gudalcanal Campaign was a US Navy "Crisis in Command" that developed thanks to the shock and inability to respond in any way to the Pearl Harbor surprise attack by the IJN against an overwhelmingly "US Navy attacked" at same said base upon the Hawaiian Islands. This led to a spectacularly series of mostly Sea Battles as both the IJN and US Navy combined with the British Royal Navy attempted to gain their "Sea Legs" upon this the most vast and deadly area of War ever in Human History with the storms alone making entire Fleets let alone individual ships seem nothing more than toys. This "Crisis in Command" would never be resoleved by the United States but for one intervention far into fthe future of this by US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt one of only two such matters ("FDR agrees with Churchill for Europe First") during all of World War 2.
The Royal Navy had nothing to do with fighting the IJN until the very last months of the war. Furthermore, there was no U.S. Navy "crisis in command" prior to Guadalcanal.
I could be wrong but I don't think so the LST you said 448 was actually 447 and was hit by a kamikaze
nice video
I see four Tie-Fighters over the Solomon Sea at 36:36
