@Time to make Changes - Soviet made Japan surrender is not BS the Soviet declaration of war and attack on Japan Aug 9 - Sep2, 1945 is what made the Japanese realize their position in the war was now hopeless and drove them to surrender - both leaders of Japan said they surrendered due to the Soviet attack and their first offer of surrender was made August 10 and it said the Soviet attack was the reason - the a bomb had nothing to do with the surrender in fact even our own General LeMay who was in charge of the bombings of Japan said "The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war." so I guess it is time you stopped spewing BS
@Time to make Changes - left? I am for Trump you bozo - learn your history the president who dumped the bomb on Hiroshima was a fuckwit democrat and fact is Japan was steadfast anti communist nation then and still is even now and it was idiot Truman's major failing he should have done what the Republicans were urging Truman to do all along - abandon his push for unconditional surrender which was delaying the surrender and negotiate terms of surrender with Hirohito which we had to do in the end to avoid Russia from taking Hokkaido - so there is a lot more history in all of this which accounts for the real reasons for the Japanese early surrender - it had nothing to do with the bombs as we are falsely led to believe by our own Govt - but then what else is new - look at the way Pelosi and Shiff lie nothing new there
@Time to make Changes - also, in response to what you mentioned, the full implications of the Soviet attack had everything to do with the surrender of Japan read Japan's first Offer of Surrender on August 10, 1945
www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1945/450729a.html#2
you will note the Japanese mentioned the Soviet breaking their accord in this surrender speech and they made no mention of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombs which means you have no argument
@Time to make Changes - I don't think you really know what are you talking about?
@Time to make Changes - I meant your comment - fact is the Emperor and Prime Minister of Japan provided their Offer of Surrender August 10 in response to the Soviet Declaration of war on August 9,1945 - it mentioned the Soviet was the cause of the surrender - should be clear enough or do I have to start drawing you little pictures in the sand?
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you. I have to write a paper for my history class on this topic (history is my worst subject) but this video helped me understand what happened a lot better. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Hiroshima is were my grandparents( Morikawa) lived before the war. They move to Hawaii to work on the pineapple & sugarcane fields on Maui.
..
Wow amazing
Thanks for sharing this with us Tal, I've enjoyed this section of your travels much more than I thought I would and today's offering was particularly insightful. The fact that you addressed the issue with empathy and diplomacy really served you well. Safe travels brother.
Thanks my bro
Nice, well presented and unbiased video on a very complex period of world history. Good job Mr Clatt
Sometimes the most beautiful of places have painful histories
This is true
A surreal and just truth..
While this is true, it’s just a story of payback
@@TheTravelingClatt yes true
@@TheTravelingClatt yes true
very informative. well delivered.
Thanks Vincent!
I just got off a overnight shift renovating a part of Volcano Bay Water Park. Here in Orlando. I'll comment about this subject after a good days sleep. I have always been a history buff. And anywhere in the world you are, of course history has happened.
True don
American here, there's really two main reasons why we decided to drop the bombs. Firstly it wasn't due to any of the war crimes that Japan had committed. It was the battle of Okinawa where so many people on both sides perished for the island. Our military commanders looked at that and estimated that to conquer the main islands it would cost at least 1 million American casualties alone. They didn't know at the time but we know now that Japan was arming its citizens with bamboo spears and other crude weaponry to help defend their homeland, so even more Japanese lives would have been lost. So many purple hearts were created in preparation for the planned invasion, that soldiers today are still being awarded them.
The 2nd reason is that since Germany surrendered, Russia was moving its armies east to attack Japan from the north. We'd already seen that Russia was unwilling to give up territory, and we did not want them to have warm waters and ports in the Pacific. So we wanted to end the war quickly. The combination of wanting to save lives and to end the war quickly is what helped President Truman to decide to drop the bombs.
A darker aspect of the bombs was our government had a list of Japanese cities that were potential bombing targets. And next to each city was an American city of equal population to help us be able to tell how much damage a bomb would do. Nagasaki as well was not the original target of the second bomb. That was the city of Kokura. The pilots were ordered for both bombings that if there was too much cloud cover over the intended target, then to move on to the second option. There was clouds and smoke obscuring the city so the pilots headed for Nagasaki.
Great video!
I am sure that Truman took no pleasure or had motives of revenge when deciding to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was faced with the prospect of invading Japan which estimated a million + dead to take the country. He had a way to end the war without costing the lives of his soldiers. I am sorry for the loss of life, but it did end the war.
to be fair japan did start it and we ended it
All day after you Hiroshima blossom video I wanted to watch stuff on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings....
Content on point 👌
Thanks Ryan.
WOW !! Very Touching video
Thanks Michael
This event showed the horrible things we can do to fellow human beings. I had hoped the world would of learnt from this but sadly seems not.
You are awesome.🌏💛Love this.
Love your vids, and wanted you to know that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor due to the US refusing to supply steel and oil to them. The US did this since Japan wanted to be a large power in SE Asia, so they started to take lands, and tried attacking China. The US indirectly helped the Chinese making the Japanese very angry, leading to what happened today. I don’t support either side, just thought I’d share some more history.
Thanks for the history
Yes, and the fact that the Japanese invaded China in 1937 with multiple massacres (including Nanking) was irrelevant?
The US applied ECONOMIC sanctions at the Chinese governments request in response.
The Japanese were anything but benevolent overlords inspite of the propaganda at the time (and since).
The Japanese were self sufficient in iron and steel (having siezed Korea and Manchuria earlier). What bit was oil (the US being one of the biggest exporters at the time). The Japanese war plans therefore called for the destruction of the US Pacific Fleet (which they screwed up royally by 1) failing to take out the Hawaiian oil storages) and 2) Failing to hit the US Aircraft Carriers).
This was to clear the way to the Malay oil fields in Brunei and Miri.
WW2 was about oil in large parts.
Staging the strike before declaring war and while negotiations over the sanctions was still in progress upset the United States a little too.
@@allangibson8494 - last century China mass murdered over 70 million Chinese civilians much worse than anything from Japan in fact the communist slaughter subsided when China was under Japanese rule - Nanking and main bulk of socalled Japanese massacres happened before the WW2 and it wasn't even condemned by the USA at the time - USA businessmen were opposed to US sanctions of Japan on account of its invading China "Japan' take-over of China might mean greater prosperity for US businesses" mid-1937 - Wall Street Journal -"our relations with China less important than out relations with Japan" - FDR had pushed hard to get USA into the war and he knew Japan would be his avenue - “This continuing putting pins in rattlesnakes finally got this country bit.” - after FDR delivered his Hull note demand to Japan to withdraw all forces from China the "rattlesnakes" in Tokyo finally bit - FDR & top brass had intel and knew exactly what the Japanese were up to and allowed the so called surprise attack on PH to take place - Japan had to be seen as making the first overt move although the immensity of the attack "heavy beating" seems to have surprised FDR
@@majorrgeek and the Chinese Imperial government killed similar numbers in just about every century before that... It ain't communism - it is authoritarianism in all the cloaks it wears. Unchallenged one party rule always leaves the door open to abuse - whether it calls itself ethnic nationalism (national socialism), communism, monarchy, military rule or anything else.
@@allangibson8494 - okay but the point here is that the Chinese communists were murdering their own people for simply not towing the commie line and atrocities were much worse than anything from Japan - also the PH attack solved FDR's biggest problem how to overcome the overwhelming opposition of US public to involvement in the war going on in Europe - just before PH, polls indicated 80% of US public did not want to enter the war as an active participant. Following the shock of the "surprise attack" FDR received overwhelming support in Congress for a declaration of war against Japan so the official history Japan started the war is a lie. The U.S. provoked the Japanese to fire the first shot, as more and more historians have acknowledged. Although the attack on Pearl Harbor a military base was wrong, it was far from indefensible than the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s civilian populations
Well for one reason to put an end to the war...and hate to say it but it worked..and saved MILLIONS..both sides.
Good video, just a couple of things to add. Kamikaze attacks were not used until much later in the war. Some believe Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed to kill a large number of civilians. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki had large military bases and industrial manufacturing. Sixty different bombing missions were done before the nuclear bombs were dropped trying to force Japan to surender. Japan was also running out of food and the kill order to the prisoners of war had already gone out. Which was 123,000 POW's at the time.
Excellent points. Also both bombs were not dropped within minutes of each other. After being explicitly warned by the US, Britain and China on July 26th to surrender or face "prompt and utter destruction" (via radio, leaflet, and diplomatic channels in multiple languages including Japanese) the first on Hiroshima Aug 6th, Nagasaki on Aug 9th, the Japanese surrendered Aug 15th. There were two additional nuclear bombings planned by the US and they were spaced out to allow the Japanese to observe the effects and surrender. Also a "new type of bomb" was not used on Tokyo, it was a new combination of existing bombs. Because of the primarily wooden structures they tried incendiary bombing but found the most damage was done when combining incendiary bombs with standard explosive bombs in a 50/50 ratio.
Thanks for the corrections my dudes!
Here are two people who studies and know their history!
@@bt1959 - actually there were 5 cities on the list listed as suitable targets for the Enola Gay to atom bomb the final decision would made by the captain would depend on factors such as weather conditions etc - the allies chose not to warn any of these cities including Hiroshima civilians of the plans to drop atom bombs in their warning leaflets in fact those warning leaflets only served to incriminate Truman in war crimes - secondly, those atom bombs did nothing to stop the war as both leaders of Japan had clearly said their decision to stop the war and Allie withUSA was due entirely to the Soviet declaration of war and attack on Japan on August 9, 1945 - read Japans first official Offer of Surrender on August 10, they mention was due to the Soviet Attack - no mention of the bombs
www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1945/450729a.html#2
Japans fanatical fight without surrender ... rape and killing of civilians ... kamikaze attacks, and the estimates of MILLIONS of American boys lost, made the use of the Nuclear bombs the lesser of two evils. If America had of invaded Japan, many millions would have been lost, because NONE of the civilians were thought to be willing to surrender either. It ultimately saved lives, and Japan WAS repeatedly warned ... and ignored the warning AFTER the first bomb. It is so sad ... but Japan made this happen.
Sho
Shalom from New York, my Father was in Japan as an occupied force, when he actually met the Japanese people he told me as a child they were the most kindest and friendliest people he had ever met. Unfortunately, America has to use such a force as the Atomic bomb because to surrender for the Japanese was to lose face. Japanese are a very proud people. Sad to say, Iran will continue to enrich Uranium and sad to say, not for peaceful purposes. Let's just live in peace and enjoy this wonderful planet we call home.
Thank you my friend
what was there reason the purpose on why they picked that city to bomb
You're wrong about the Emperor part, The Emperor never had any power which is why the Imperial family was spared, Japan thru out history was controlled by Feudal Warlords, The Emperor is just a Figure head or a Deity for them. Hideki Tojo a General was pretty much considered the Hitler of the Pacific theatre
Some excellent points that enlightened me and my thinking: 1] several Asian people still resent (hold a grudge) against the Japanese for the atrocities committed during the war. Historians speak of women who were raped, babies & elderly killed and men were enslaved to preform labor. Asian women bore children as a byproduct of the Japanese captures. Others committed suicide. 2] There were no Kamikaze pilots at Pearl Harbor in 1941. Kamikaze raids were the last ditch effort of the Japanese in 1945. 3] The September 4, 1941 planning session of the Japanese leaders makes a lot of sense. Most modern Americans think the Japanese woke up one day and decided to launch their naval air corp on our ships in Pearl harbor. The attack took months of planning and years of hatred toward Caucasians. Their superior attitude over other Asians (Philippines, Chines, Koreans, etc.) made them a very isolated country. Attacking Pearl was a strategy that would give them time to build up their arsenal should they encounter resistance in the expansionist plans. 4] The bombing of Tokyo and other major cities went on for many months before August 1945. The fact that over 100,000 people lost their lives in one air raid is lost by the effect one bomb had over Hiroshima. This is a very significant fact in history. We could have bombed every major military installation in Japan and the leadership would not move toward unconditional surrender. Only the shock and awe of one major bomb on one city brought the Japanese military to their knees. Thanks for sharing. Shalom!
Jerry Sinclair - there was no shock or awe in Japan due to the atomic bombings - you are simply reciting stupid propaganda which was designed to mask a war crime - While the knockout punch did not come from atomic bombings - in fact LeMay’s air raids were killing on average, 2,500 Japanese civilians/day/year over 6 months of relentless air raids which is equivalent to one 9/11 attack on Japan every day for a whole six months so it comes as no surprise to read the wow factor of the atomic bombs did not exist in the Japanese Cabinet and it was business as usual both before and after the bombings but they reacted quite differently after the Russians declared war on Japan in fact news of the Russian invasion got the Big 6 out of their beds and into the meeting room to discuss their hopless position - they were interpreting their position in the war from the remaining strength of their military in this respect killing more civilians made not a scrap of difference to them ie in August 1945 after Truman's aerial bombings had destroyed 65 Japanese cities the IJA still had 5 million armed troops defending homeland Japan and all the Jap Generals knew that they weren’t as stupid as you think - they all knew after August 8 they had the most fearsome Russian army in the world bearing down on them from the north with hegemonic desires and murderous intent the same army that almost singlehandedly crushed the Nazis war regime in Europe 2 months earlier and caused Hitler to suicide as both leaders of Japan had commented - now this is a good thing to have happened to them and I don’t know why you keep demeaning the assistance we received from the Russians after all their assistance was immeasurable to Us and they were after all our allies in defeating not justy the Nazis but the Japs as well - the evidence shows the Japanese ruling elite Big 6 were not convinced by the a bomb but felt they should press on - Suzuki even said it himself the Japanese had plans to continue fighting the B-29 in the air even after the atomic bombings - the Japanese also knew how hard it was to make an atomic bomb so they knew that USA couldn't possibly have many more bombs - aerial terrorism bombing did not deliver the knockout punch to force the surrender of the Nazis so it is absurd to say it won or even took a part in the surrender
American military planners at that time knew that the Japanese will fight to the end if they invade Japan. Those atomic bombs ended the war and at the same time saved thousands of American soldiers lives.
Phew! TBH I was a little worried about how you were going to handle this.......you did well...The love affair with your channel continues.
Weren't they all made to hand in their weapons ie their family samari swords. And I'm sure they are very important and valuable to the families?
I think it's unfair,you should visit Hawaii where the Japan attacked in wwii,that would be fair
And Nanjing where japan committed there worst atrosities
Apparently, every other alternative involved consequences that would have been worse than using the two A bombs...
America threatened Japan with energy. Japan had no choice but attack. Roosevelt was an imperialist.
You just KNOW that there had to be a number of survivors that went to safety with family or friends in Nagasaki!!
It was a classic example of a "Devil's choice" they had to choose between using the atomic bombs or engage in a invasion of the home islands of Japan. And the allies decided that less harm would be done by an atomic bomb which would have a death toll of hundreds of thousands than a land invasion which would of had a death toll of many millions. this was largely based on the fanatical defense of the outer islands. Google "Operation Downfall" for details of the planned invasion that was avoided because of the bombs.
There was two decisions both of which were horrible , but the atom bombs were slightly less horrible than an invasion.
What if Putin decided to throw an atomic bomb on Ukrane to end the war and more casualties?
How to create a more beautiful city:
Destroy the previous city
thumbs up
hiroshima and nagasaki
Because we were at war with Japan. (And, well, you throw bombs at each other until one cries "uncle!".)
Also, the bomb you showed in your thumbnail is the Nagasaki plutonium implosion atomic bomb, not the Hiroshima uranium bomb.
Because they need sent a message, American weren’t messing around. They were serious and wanted the Japanese to stop, so American dropped it in the city.
Because Japanese weren’t going to surrender and wanted to continue, that’s why American dropped it in the city to get the Japanese to stop.
While the first one didn’t didn’t get through to the Japanese, so the second bomb did and the Empre decided to end the war.
If the American didn’t don’t know how long, the war going to keep going or end.
The Japanese government agreed with the US to test out nuclear destruction on human beings in two of it's cities the result be trade deals with Japan for however many years. Remember the Nazis started nuclear testing, America acquired the technology and needed human targets. I believe Japan took the deal.
The explanation is very American perspective. Philippine had been colonised by Spain and USA's s for 400 years before 1946, Hong Kong colonised by UK before 1941, Indonesia by Netherland before1942 etc.
USSR, US, UK, France, Spain, Netherland, Spain, Portugal and Germany colonised Asian territories before1940s before Japan took over. Only Japan and Thailand in Asia has never been colonised by any western country.
"Japan was too aggressive" is not right statement. If Japan had done nothing, probably Asian countries including Japan would possibly be still colonised or at least still be the third world. It was an unavoidable war based on westerly-biased world although we admitted that some of act against human rights was performed as with other western countries.
Nuclear drop was definitely a war criminal, only to kill ordinal citizens as a warninga lesson. In this point, no justification.
Only to kill citizen, us army have been sending fly for a couple of day before the bomb drop to tell the citizen to get out of there, that a new weapon would be launch on those city. Fail to see how killing citizen was the goal
J M Yep
傻逼你妈死了
This is clownery at best, stupidity at worst. Does this justify the war crimes your ancestors did such as the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, and the comfort women and slaves that they accumulated in the name of your great empire that is waving the Rising Sun Flag?
BTW, as a Filipino, I would like to correct one thing from your statement. Prior to the WWII, the Philippines was set to become independent from US control 10 years since its transition as a Commonwealth. The Philippine Commonwealth was established at 1935, and it was supposed to transition to be fully independent on 1945, a year earlier than thr acutal year due to the mess that is WWII.
P.S. I thought your ancestors were adamant in continuing fighting and keeping the empire's system intact.
We didn't start the war but we did end it.
nonsense the bombs did not end the war and it is stupid to say they did
@@majorrgeek well you're wrong they did. The emperor realized is was a lost cause an ordered a stand down.
@@Glidescube - wrong, 4 days earlier the emperor made his Offer of Surrender on August 10 one day after the Soviet began their attack on Japan - it even said the surrender is due to the Soviet attack and didnotmention the bombs
Short answer: they got really pissed off because the tried to conquer the entire pacific
Brah don’t act like that was the only way to fix things..
I strongly believe that why US came back for Philippines not just because they have their troops there but they knew that the Imperial Japanese Army gathered Vast Amount of Gold and you know what i mean
Because the USA Justified the bombing to shortening the war by killing civilians. It was the better alternative at that time. Now reverse that. What if Japan developed the A bomb first and dropped it in Manhattan, killing civilians to end the war, is it still justified?
It’s a tough question to answer
If USA had committed the same atrocities than yes, it would have been justified. Also, America didn’t put POWs to work to death on a railway or starve them to death. Japan is now peaceful and beautiful and forever may that continue.
History is always rewritten by the winner. Read the author of Fish Hamilton. That book was written by the winner.
It was long after the war that whites realized that people of color were also humans.「American mutilation of Japanese war dead」 See Wikipedia
I think you need to check your history
world needs peace. people needs peace.
Moshi moshi
Mochiii
Why they kill civil people?! Why civil?!!!
The Soviets were planning to invade and Japan was trying to buy time to word their "surrender" without losing face which the Americans could not afford because it would take time. With victory clearly in sight, the Soviets already occupying Korea and poised to strike at the Japanese mainland, the United States felt very uneasy and two options to win against Japan were drafted. Operation Downfall which would be an actual invasion and very costly in American lives and also isn't really assured to be successful because it could just degenerate to guerrilla warfare and giving the Soviets the excuse to "assist" the Americans. The second option was to drop the Atomic Bomb which would cost less American lives and tell the Japanese that "unconditional surrender" means "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" while also flexing muscles against the Soviets.
Basically, fear of Communism forced the US to bomb Japan because they could not afford the Soviets to also get conqueror rights and create a divided Japan.
You mean the Kuril Islands which were basically outlying, easy to reach for both sides but hard to defend? Yeah, the Soviets did that BECAUSE they wanted to get as much political control before it would be politically impossible to prosecute the war.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_War
The Soviets weren't given the privilege of military occupation. And you must remember, the longer the war goes on, the more chances that the Soviets will produce those ships.
"Hard to defend? It was the battle that costed Russians more lives than the Japanese. And the islands got no support from Japanese mainland anymore. "
Sorry, but you are wrong and or misinterpreted these numbers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Kuril_Islands
The Kuril Islands were stationed with 80,000 Japanese troops, about who fought and lost against 15,000 Soviet troops
"It was agreed not to occupy longer than necessary."
You mean tried to occupy especially Hokkaido but was denied by Truman
foreignpolicy.com/2015/08/05/stalin_japan_hiroshima_occupation_hokkaido/
"They agreed not to occupy, but Russia did not understand english ...."
You're kidding me. They had translators and or people experts in the English language and also translators from the other side. How the hell do you think they could coordinate or even agree to the Potsdam Declaration if they couldn't fucking understand?
"And you do not know what "costed" means? Check your link about Kuril Islands and read section "Casualties and losses"."
15,000 Soviets vs 80,000 thousand Japanese. That sure seemed like a good ratio with over 50,000 captured. Face it. You have been defeated and like Japan, would not want to surrender but rather withdraw without losing face. But it's too late. You have committed. You are in this war now. It is now a war of annihilation. There is no hope. You have lost. I am decapitated.
Ok so you admit that the Russians were trying to grab as much territory as possible to occupy Japan?

Yeah, OK. This is my atomic bomb.
Simply the US were losing too many soldiers... and the Japanese would never surrender.
I used to live in higashi when i was 5 (im american btw) my grandparents took a vacation to osaka and travelled to the coast when the first bomb exploded this caused a panic in all the citizens and they waited after the aftermath to check up on their family when my grandparents went to hiroshima they started crying because their mother and fathers died. I know the us did this to show intimidation but dang that hit me in the feels.
ok.. so now talk about nagasaki...
Thanks for visiting Hiroshima and introducing a part of its history. However, your video was extremely superficial or one sided. Please read stories which your government don't want you to read. And like someone said here, why did nations like American, the Netherlands, Spain, Britain had to colonize Asian nations? Were those acts justified? Based on what? The Western values and interests? Not those of locals? Wasn't American desperate to test 2 types of nukes to show off their power to the Soviet? Do NOT mis-interpret the Imperial Japan, please. Research open-mindedly. Someone like you could help the world know what they don't know.
I was gonna say that in the last vid
so in the end you mean india is not amazing nation
Very japan 🏯🇯🇵🎎strong
Yes we had to teach them a lesson turn them into a good boy
💔
As i said on the prev vid, historical
Love ya
.
They started it … We finished it.. EVERYONE IS BETTER OFF TODAY.
American drop it, because they want to end the war and stop Japan. Continue the fights, that why.
muthu
One reason is because in the future they would know WW3 will end with the use of better technology just like WW2 ended with the use of better technology... Technology both sides desperately tried to get first, that would determine the Global Power Balance, That is also an incredible and terrifying tool. History will repeat itself if it hasn't already ;'p Supercomputers are ALIVE!!!! Muahahahahaha 😂 lololol rooooooooar!!
Dude! You've glanced over Japan's Reign of Terror but made sure you mentioned the number of Japanese killed in various military campaigns by allied forces. We have friends and families of friends who were tortured and murdered by the Japanese. Chinese friends, Japanese friends, Filipino friends, Korean friends, Thai friends, Vietnamese friends, Micronesian friends, Australian friends, Maori friends, Tongan friends, Samoan friends, Palau friends, Hawaiian friends, Singapore friends, Malaysian friends, Indonesian friends. The use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not only the right thing to do but morally justified to end decades of crimes Japan committed against humanity. The slaughter would've continued with no end in sight had it not been for the atomic bombs. The people that died during the bombs were collateral damage that Japan needs to own. The Nazi's in Germany got away easy. NOTE: (The effort you put into the "Whale Sharks" video far out-weighted this video.) Live The Adventure
Yes yes the whale shark video was made over the course of a week this was made on about 4 hours.
And I did mention their reign of terror
TheTravelingClatt yes you mentioned it but the guy is saying that you “glanced” over the Terror part. Great vlogg though.
Bruh beacause american to surrender japan beacause japan take ASEAN! You history F- idk
Pakistan ko v yehi sabk jaruri hai.....
Wow. I'm an amateur historian, and that was so over simplified, and full of mistakes that my brain shut off less than 2 minutes in. Dude, read up on the subject a little better next time, at least. Please.
Pff.Authorityfollower.Very original that you come to the conclusion that the prevailing forces in our world today are right.How courageous of you to think it all out&come to the same colclusion as the powers that be and stíll present your brainchild.
😫😩😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah
They flew Enola Gaily little boy blue doing the do. Fight war not wars.
Rape of Nanking, Pearl Harbor
President Truman was given that an invasion of Japan would cost up to 1 million lives Purple Heart medals were made up still being given out today to wounded USA 🇺🇸 soldiers
The Peace Park was a Government building
So our Presidents option was only to drop the bomb
It was fire 🔥 bombs that were dropped causing massive fires in Japan since the buildings were made of wood . This did not end the war till the bomb was dropped ! 1945!!! Yes
すごい
Sugaoooyyy
Why the rushed? Scared of japan devided to the reds?
Sorry, as much as I like you.. you missed many facts in 2018. a 9 minute video on this topic is probably not "something you want to do" when reading things most of the time... you were there. Show us while speaking ....
I'm sorry
We're sorry
Wow. I’m only a couple of minutes into this and I am shocked at the inaccuracies rampant in this guy’s understanding of the run up to Pearl Harbor, which for Japan was not its entry into WWII but an expansion of its own ongoing war with China and others in Asia. And Hirohito was not the aggressor so much as the weak and indecisive leader who allowed aggressive mid level idiot officers set the tone and direction of Japanese foreign policy and its conduct of the war. Hirohito was no hero, but he wasn’t the cause or leader of the warlike factions in Japan. Please do your research. I have been studying Hiroshima since high school (I’m 62), I have lived in Japan, and studied WWII from both the American and Japanese perspectives. I can’t speak for or against the last part of this video, because the first 5 minutes were so egregiously incorrect and misleading as to cause me to decide that this is not worth my time. Please research this topic much better!!!
Stephen Goetsch - PH was a false flag without a doubt - FDR allowed it to happen to draw USA into the war with Japan and its allie Germany so he could send troops to assist England - the atom bombings were totally unnecessary and a false narrative that did nothing to stop the war and even if they had stopped the war it is still no excuse to kill civilians, lots of them died and is a war crime - there are so many stupid people that cannot differentiate a war crime - we should not go on teaching school kids the bombs were somehow necessary and useful - they weren't
@majorgeeek-imho, your thinking on that is too simplistic for me. I know now, but the US did not know then, that the Japanese would not have been able to feed themselves that winter, as they actually were not able to even alter the war had ended. At the museum at Hiroshima itself I learned that the Japanese themselves were prepared to allow 100 million to die for the emperor, and that even after seeing the power of the atomic bomb twice, their military could only barely allow themselves to surrender, and then not without a fairly serious insurrection in Tokyo on the night before the surrender was announced. Sorry, I think you fail to appreciate the severity of the alternative to both sides.
@@stephengoetsch349 - totally wrong - the Japanese sent their first official "Offer of Surrender " to USA on August 10 stating clearly the reason was due to the Soviet declaration of war on Japan August 9 so there's goes your argument down the drain
the alternative of the severity came from the Soviet attack at a single stroke, all of Japan’s options evaporated. - The Soviet invasion was strategically decisive - it foreclosed all of Japan’s option while the bombing of Hiroshima (which foreclosed neither) was not. Strategic bombing of Japan did not make them surrender even after 65 cities had been destroyed and 2 million civilians killed outright still no surrender because to them a 600 plane air raid and an atomic bomb made no difference it had same effect in fact it took them a week of investigations to decide it was an atomic bomb - the benchmark for the possible cost of invading the home islands was the Soviet Invasion in which they took over 600,000 IJA POWs and killed only 90,000 even though the Japanese Kwantong Army all swore a fight to the death - that should put to rest all that nonsense about the Japanese would fight to the death if invaded - the Japanese cabinet and military were interpreting the war from the remaining strengths of their armies and in this respect the strategic bombings and killing of civilians had little impact as was the case with the European war which showed strategic bombing did not deliver the knock out punch required for a surrender - Japan surrendered when it lost its last reserves in Asia and became totally surrounded by US and the Soviets whom it feared the most - simplisitc thinking? would be you
Not sure of your logic in stating that my “argument” is refuted by your facts. I don’t think I was even arguing, only stating irrefutable facts. That the bombs were atomic was announced by Truman to the world on the 7th, and any official surrender offer on the 10th was not broadly supported within the Japanese high command. Are you saying the Hatanaka-led insurrection in Tokyo on the night of the 14th didn’t happen? Don’t waste my time. Russia’s invasion of Manchuria certainly contributed to the Japanese desire to surrender (among the faction that wanted surrender), but that didn’t happen until after Hiroshima. You haven’t offered any evidence that the a Japanese would have surrendered anytime soon without the destruction wrought by the bombs. I would, in fact, argue that the total number of lives lost on both sides was greatly reduced by the use of the bomb. An argument could be raised that PERHAPS had the bomb not been used, the proportion of civilian Japanese lives lost might have been smaller compared to Japanese military lives lost, but such an argument would be in support of a questionable point of morality. It really is hard to see how not dropping the bomb might have caused the war to end with less suffering or loss of life, even to the Japanese. While the people of Hiroshima do like to play the victim card, most Japanese are very much aware that the war would not have ended better for Japan had it not been used. The tragedy is not just that it was used, but also that it had to be used.
@@stephengoetsch349 - the evidence the Japanese surrendered due to the Soviet attack is abundantly clear - first the surrender notice of August 10 was an official notice of Surrender whether you like it or not it clearly mentioned the Soviet as the cause of the Japanese decision to surrender in response to the Soviet declaration of war with Japan the day before and the bombs were not mentioned in that notice - whilst for political reasons, many people prefer the Aug 14 Radio speech made by Hirohito it was nevertheless not an official surrender notice and it was obscure - the fact the Japanese surrender was motivated purely by the Soviet attack is lauded by both leaders of Japan eg
PM Suzuki said August 13 when asked why they could not delay surrender for a few days “If we miss today, the Soviet Union will take not only Manchuria, Korea, Karafuto, but also Hokkaido. This would destroy the foundation of Japan. We must end the war when we can deal with the United States.”
Emperor Hirohito said "Now that the Soviet Union has entered the war against us, to continue the war under the present internal and externalconditions would be only to increase needlessly the ravages of war finally tothe point of endangering the very foundation of the Empire's existence Withthat in mind and although the fighting spirit of the Imperial Army and Navy is ashigh as ever, with a view to maintaining and protecting our noble nationalpolicy we are about to make peace with the United States, Britain, the SovietUnion and Chungking." - Seal of The Empire - Signed Hirohito - August 17 -
also a primary quote from an expert witness on the bombings General LeMay who was in charge of the bombings said "The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war." I rather believe him and when both leaders of Japan said they seek to make peace (surrender) with USA because the Russians joined in the war I'd rather believe them than your nonsense anyday - remember the Japanese surrendered for THEIR REASONS not your or the fake history emanating from Washington in 1950's
Shame on america
Do you support the Israeli government's position on Palestine?
What you don't know is that the United States had reserved Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the Atomic Bombs. Orders were cut that there were to be no bombings of those two cities. The government wanted to conduct research on the effects of the Atomic Bombs on humans.
Number two The United States will never drop a Nuclear Weapon on Europe. NEVER! I really hope that you can see through that veil of what I am trying to say.

Let me tell you the non-pro American version of the history.
Imperial Japan became aggresive due to the first sino-japanese war, where China was the aggressor who flooded troops into Korea and parts of Japan. The Japanese fought back hard, because they had to to push out the Chinese, and with Korean help push them out of Korea too.
Later the 2nd Sino-Japanese war started shortly before the start of WW2 in mid 1937. When WW2 started, that is when Germany gave support to Japan, because China was adopting the Soviet Communist way of life. That is when things took a turn for the worse against China, due to German propaganda against the Chinese, the Japanese took it all in unfortunately and the atrocities started.
Now to Pearl Harbor, the pro-American version is Japan attacked unprovoked, the reality is America provoked Japan. Why? America was wanting into the 2nd war, but the Senate voted against this, as the 1st War was costly and the US had recently came out of a major depression. So to get into the war without Senate approval, the Americans blockaded Japanese naval ships delivering supplies to mainland china to it's troops. This was an act of aggression on the Americans Part.
Here is where the Japanese were clever, they knew the Americans expected the Japanese to hit Guam because Guam was close and an active Naval base for the Americans, instead they hit Hawaii instead catching the Americans off guard, after they hit the US Navy moved ships from Guam towards Hawaii, which left Guam wide open and the Japanese took it over. Smart strategy, one which to this day America is very embarassed about.
The 2 atom bombs were done as a test, hence why both bombs were of different types, also the fact the terms of surrender given before the bombs were so unrealistic they knew Japan would refuse giving them an excuse to test the bombs. With a pretence cover story that "invasion would have cost more lives", which is a lie. (If people are interested check out what the American CDC did with the Japanese people after WW2 to study them for radiation and how they stole their organs and filled bodies with sawdust etc, and not returning bodies after the sawdust ran out - to this day many families still await their loved ones organs and bodies to finally put them to rest. Shame on you America, Shame.)
Also another non taught fact about both bombs in US history in schools, is both bombs killed approx. 45k Koreans and 3k PoW.
Not denying Japan was bad in the war and what their soldiers did to the Chinese was terrible. But Americans really need to be taught the actual history and not the pro-government version of it.
@@isleep5835 Getting upset over a few words that you don't agree with, and then throwing out childish attacks shows you aren't really someone who is patient and decent. Just sayin'
nonsense - there is no evidence the atomic bombs ended the war - Japan did not surrender due to these bombs in fact the two leaders are on record saying the surrender was due to the Russian August storm invasion - I suggest you do proper research before spilling nonsense
@Time to make Changes - for your information Truman was a democrat - a lefty so there goes your silly comment right from the start - the Hirohito broadcast Aug 15 does not say Japan was surrendering all due to the bomb so stop lying - you conveniently overlook the fact Japan sent its first Offer of Surrender to USA on August 10 in which it mentioned the reason for surrender was the Soviet Declaration of War on Japan August 9, the bombs were not even mentioned - the offer was ignored by USA Govt - also you overlook the fact Stalin had no intention of attacking all Japan - his only aim was to land forces on Hokkaido and he was equipped to do so, spill Russian blood and Hokkaido would be his and it would split Japan into another split commie state like eastern Europe and Korea, this was something the Japanese were aware of and desperately trying to avoid at all costs ie by Surrendering and allying to USA, so do some research before you go making idiotic comments with all the propaganda misinformation
I think you should study bit more before making comments on Hiroshima and WWII.
The WWII was started way before the Pearl Harbor. England was fighting over India and Pakistan (was their territory back then), the United States was occupying Philippines and other Pacific islands until we run them out, Germany was invading Russia and so on and on.
It was very difficult time for colored people to secure own nation as you can imagine. And we, Japanese people, didn't want to be wiped out like the native Americans (for one example). According to the record there were about 10 to 20 millions of native Americans living in the land of North America or so I have read. Where do you think they have gone?
On the other hand, Japanese people are still regretting so many damages we have done to other countries especially Asians, even if that was our only choice to survive. The regret is one reason why we don't care to ask for apology from American people nor any other countries' for burning down our cities in that war.
By the way thanks for testing that bomb on us, human being needed that to know how horrible is that thing.
Have a good trip guys!
The invasion of China in 1937 by the Japanese had nothing to do with self defence and everything to do with nationalist empire building.
Oh no. Uhm, didn't you already have solved this so-called fear by having the Meiji Era Restoration thing? And didn't you start becoming the very thing that you "despise" of the moment that you took Formosa and the Korean Peninsula?
BTW, the real start of the WWII was when Germans and Soviets invaded Poland, not whatever bungee jump you went through.
I was looking for the real truth. Your just giving the story as it was told by the government at the time .I read by generals that were Involved at that time in the war that dropping the bombs wasn't necessary, because japan wanted to surrender in may but wanted to keep their emperor in power the USA said no and bombed anyway .and Japan after the bombing kept their emperor.
i agree the author is ignorant of this like so many he is not aware the Soviet Attack on Japan was much more influential on the surrender
In terms of surrender, the A bombs had no effect at all i.e. the Japanese were no more willing to surrender after than they had been before. It was the Russians who, having just declared war on Japan (and soon after, invaded Manchuria), that changed their minds.
Indeed, the Emperor had to break his own war council's deadlock on the matter, publicly declaring acceptance of the terms of.surrender.
So no, surrender wasn't because of the bomb at all, but it was one hell of a bang and it did scare the pants off the Russians.
Odd that the Emperor didnt mention the Russians in his surrender statement but did explicitly mention the atomic bombs then....
