At the beginning there is a problem with your map,
The Qing dynasty had possession of Mongolia and Tibet until it collapsed in 1912, the map you are using has the borders of the early Republic of China.

Your productions are of a astonishing good quality in content, graphics and educational information. For me the team of Kings and Generals is on par with the top content creators who have at least a 10x higher budget at their disposal! Every episode teaches me things and are giving me insights in certain developments that I did not consider before! Whenever I feel like I have some advanced knowledge about a certain topic, you guys prove me wrong by introducing new facts and neutral observations. Hats off to you all!
Thank you, kind sir!

I’m so glad to be able to watch this for free.fantastic job guys
This is such a great series. Due to the way history is written and taught, so many people believe wwii started on September 1st 1939 and ended on may 8th 1945. In fact, fighting was happening long before and well after that period in the pacific!
@@onesource-ph2372 nope. Ww2 started when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931. Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935
@@elliottmcnear8516 Neither of you are correct because it wouldn’t be a “world” war if the world wasn’t at war. These were regional conflicts
@@jazuken1396 under that logic there never was a world war just a collection of separate simultaneous conflicts. The true meaning is that what we call ww2 is a collection of conflicts across the globe, the first of which started in 1932 and all of which ended by 1945
ww2 started in 1939 just deal with it
@@mac2857 was the second sino-Japanese war part of ww2? Yes. It started in 1931. Enough said
Fun fact: The Kwantung Army’s opponent during the Mukden Incident, the Northeastern Army, was comprised of 300k troops (25 infantry brigades, 6 calvary brigades, 10 artillery regiments), 36-50 FT-17 tanks and 262 aircrafts. The Kwantung Army did not exceed 60k troops during the entire Mukden Incident and did not have proper tanks as well. (Mostly armoured cars) Yet due to the “no resistance” order from the brass, the Northeastern Army did not even return fire for most of the time. All tanks, artilleries and aircrafts were captured in perfect condition by the Kwantung Army. This disgraceful “no resistance” act would later fuel the Northeastern Army troops and generals initiating the Xi’an incident, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to start negotiation with CPC and form the United Front.
On paper the Northeastern Army looked superior, but from what I’ve read, the field situation was quite different. The Northeastern Army was spread out, and were unable to concentrate forces. And the quality of Chinese troops varied significantly with untrained, underpaid, and underfed soldiers who lacked morale. And due to the state of affairs of China at the time, it wasn’t exactly clear if all the soldiers were loyal to the Republic of China or to other warlords.
The contrast between the quality of Japanese and Chinese forces were enormous, but yes the most impactful blow was the Northeastern commander’s lack of resistance.
It became such a disgrace that the Northeastern Army never ever recover from it. (The Army that abandoned the Northeast without firing back a single shot) Until Xi’an that is.
@@dannyn.6933 It was superior, as it was the most elite army in China at the time. (Chiang Kai-Shek’s Central Army was still in reorganization prior to the German-oriented program, other warlords were still reeling from the Central Plain Campaign) Even if you subtracted half of Northeastern Army garrison near Beijing and Tianjin, you still have a 2:1 numerical superiority against the Kwangtung Army initial incursion.
@@dannyn.6933 The quality of the Northeastern Army was also not bad at all, as it had seen major action against the Soviet during the 1929 Sino-Soviet clash. As for loyalty question, you could argue cause warlord warfare’s were mostly fighting fellow Chinese after all, that the level of defection was high. (When up against Japanese, anyone familiar with the Port Arthur Massacre at the time knew the savagery of their opponents)
@@dannyn.6933 One year later the First Shanghai Incident proved that even an severely insufficiently equipped Guangdong clique 19th Route Army could hammer the IJA forces and IJN marines in Shanghai into a equal playing field.
“I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive--those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun
High quality content, Kings and Generals, beside other similar YT channels, is a endless source of interesting content for history teachers and everyone who is interested in history in general. You are the beacon of hope to inspire the youth of today to be interested in the history of mankind.
Impressive work as always! Though there is one bit of trivia that’s overlooked: as the Treaty of Versailles was being signed, the Japanese delegation tried to propose anti-racism clauses that would have also given non-Western states a greater stake in the postwar world. Not only was this soundly rejected by most of the Western Powers, including Woodrow Wilson, but it also led to the delegates being humiliated for trying to be their equal.
Though not the sole cause, this would in time serve to help embolden the ultranationalists and militarists, and would ultimately bring much pain to Japan and much of Asia.
epic
@@MandoMTL It was done "everywhere" and "as a matter of course in those days". It was a time of what the US did to France, of human experimentation on blacks, of torture and human rights abuses against Japanese diasporas, of Soviet abuse, of British violence, of Chinese genocide against its own people. Rather, Japan had less planned "at the direction of its leaders" about the barbaric acts. but im not an nationalist so i think the fact remains that it was optimistic and neglectful is important, so there is no need to think about which country is the best.
Nevertheless, it is true that atrocities were committed, and the government has acknowledged and apologised for them, and has already paid a trillion in reparations (did you know that?), but it is wrong to judge the past by modern logic as a whole, right or wrong.
the independenceists of india, indonesia and vietnam were released from prison and local languages were added to the official languages, which had been exclusively European. the suprise point is that this happenend "in the war" not after the stable regularity. After the war, the japanese soldiers who remained there gave them weapons and fought the European invaders who came again.
Anti-Racism opposed by Woodrow Wilson? Just another Tuesday
@@user-uk8nf8jv6u another weeb Japanese war crime apologist. Seems you haven’t heard of unit 731 and what they were doing in Manchuria, or how they simply escaped being tried as war criminals by providing information to the Yanks.
@@billkar6479 you look down on your enemies too much lol
another weeb Japanese war crime apologist.
> i am Japanese. not weeb.
> seems you have n’t heard of unit 731 and what they were doing in Manchuria
i know. you probably havent read the full wikipedia, but I do. ive read a memoir book about them and watched a documentary that you maybe didnt watch. the 1997 trial came to a "logical" conclusion, and in comparison, your "emotional" judgment can only be described as childish and ignorant.
> how they simply escaped being tried as war criminals by providing information to the Yanks.
so you are saying america is war criminal too? thats right. and i think that you thought unit 731 is historically important because you know about unethical human experimentation in other countries and in your country, at least about what was happening at the same time or earlier. right?
even so, i dont know why youre obsessed with Japanese war crimes. all nations have overcome past war crimes by means of apology, compensation, concealment and more. japan is also equal. you might think youre discovering a shit named japan in a world of flower gardens and justice, but thats too rude to the world history. simple question. what do you want Japan to do? what are your complaints about japanese anti-racism movement? why you think unit731 is the best way to attack me?
Man, I'm loving this series. Can't wait until it's complete and I can binge the whole thing. Thank you Kings and Generals!!
Great video. I recently took a Japanese History course and the events that preceded the Pacific War often don't get the attention they deserve. Thanks for helping to address that problem. I look forward to the next episode in the series!
I agree I think this is great. I also followed a comic written by a Japanese author over basically the history (And his own story of WWII) of Japan's drastic and skyrocketing change during the 1900s towards the 2000s.
It is stories like these that helps give so much context that movies and individuals gloss over.
I wonder though in what capacity they will tell once they get to the touchy details of Japan's war crimes.
COYG!
Is the manga Showa: A History of Japan by Shigeru Mizuki?
@@endless_tragedy7662 Yes! I considered it quite informative to get a detailed overview of Emperor Hirohito's reign
I'm a native of Harbin, my Grandpa was there as a 14 year old young boy in 1930 working as a labour, when the Japanese came, he fled into the forest and mountains with a few others and they joined a group of "anti japan resistance fighters" which was really a group of vagabond/bandits that survived in the wild and raided what ever supplies they can get their hands on, included some shoot out with Japanese patrols and Manchukuo security forces but they fled all the time. Fast forward years later to 1945ish they were absorbed by the CCP into the PLA. He pass away in 2011 but told me his war stories in Northeastern China and Korea. I just wish I talked to him more before he passed.
This is the best currently ongoing series about history! Thank you for making such good quality videos
The Zaibatsu sign around 3:45 looks suspiciously familiar... HOI4, anyone?
Don't forget that during the Taishō Era, Muzan Jackson fought against deep breathing enthusiasts.
On a more serious note, the upheaval and dramatic change during the Taishō Era definitely makes it a fitting setting for Demon Slayer.
Lol I been looking for a Demon Slayer reference
12:32 Mukden Incident was portrayed in Tintin and the Blue Lotus. This history was news back when the comics were being made.
I completely agree with Jean. The level of detail that Kings and Generals provides in every episode is very sophisticated, not to mention highly educational and never bias or one-sided. Great work
The quality of the new animations is just astonishing, well done K&G team! The narration is also excellent of course, but that’s standard for you 😊
The information in the videos on this channel is outstanding, 5/5! Please keep them coming.
I'm very glad to see HOI4 focus tree icons being used.
I love there's so many "incidents" in japan history
@@grapesurgeon Thanks for explaining this.
Man , I’m never leaving this channel , it’s so damn good 🧡
Such professionals. You guys legit hit a home run every time you make a video.
Ironic that , in the Western Pacific , at the same time the rapid industrialization , modernization , and growth by expansion of Japan to their east occurred , in the Eastern Pacific the United States was experiencing a rapid industrialization , modernization , and growth by expansion to their west. There was no way these two young ambitious empires would not eventually go to war.
@@abcddef2112 Do you think there will not be war? The world is more globalized than ever before, which of courses prompts much more reluctance for war, but it is a delay, not a canceling, of the inevitable.
@@abcddef2112 The Soviet Union and US didn't go to war because nukes were new and because the Soviet Union was facing lots of internal turmoil. But nowadays nukes are not new anymore, and modern ways of war without the nuke are by now well established (cyber war, economic war). If China were facing turmoil, then I'd agree. War is only inevitable between am existing superpower and a rising power. The USSR had reached stagnant, but China is still on the rise. The inverted population pyramid, real estate fragility, and water/agricultural security are all coming about in the next 30 years. IF China can overcome these, I think war is inevitable; else, China will go the way of the USSR. I do believe China will overcome these. If China is to exit the field, it would be in the next 30 years. Otherwise it truly reaches a globalized "too big to fail" status like the US is in now. At that stage there is no escaping war, because there won't feasibly be 2 world orders based on 2 currencies and 2 superpower navies.
@@abcddef2112 China and the United States are already at war. A cold war.
Really enjoy this new series keep up the amazing work Kings and Generals and The Cold War provide great historical knowledge!
Great series! Really enjoying your great use of maps and illustrations
This has always been a good channel but the production and graphics on this video were incredible. Really elevated the narration.
We've been waiting for this one
Interesting and informative. What a great animated video! ☺️
This series is amazing. Keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic series! I can't wait for the next installment.
really enjoying this series thanks for the amazing work @Kings and Generals
Very good, enjoyable and informative video. Look forward
upcoming series
gotta say i love the hoi4 focus pictures they use in it not just that they use them but they use them very effectively to explain/show different things very great work keep it up guys!
Thank you for the video, always interesting to listen. A like after the first 20 seconds of the video
Excellent evenhanded Analysis, which is above all clear and explnatory. Well done!!
Nicely informative. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Outstanding job as always on this channel

So, Blinkist is sponsored by Venerable Jorge?
Jokes aside, what (yet another) great series. The podcast idea is indeed very interesting.
should've commented more on the governmental crisis of Japan after the Manchuria Incident but that alone is an entire book worth of information, but it could've gotten a bit more recognizon in the video.
This is an excellent series! very informative
Wow great stuff from this channel, worth to see next episode😊
Another solid video from one of my favorite (and I feel, the best) channels around.
(Did I say CZcams channels? Sure, its on YT, but its one of the best channels around, period.)
Loving this buildup
hi
Excellent start. Can't wait to see the rest!
Nicely done, look forward to more of these...
The quality of these documentaries rivals with ones that are made by large broadcasting corporations. Never has I been so excited for a notification. BTW, have you fix the mistake of the first video involving the name of Vietnam during the 19th century, It's a trivial problem that doesn't involve much to the documentary that focus on the 20th century Pacific war but it would nice to see you guys correcting it.
This is superior to the ones made by corporations.
More to come
K&G
Never fail to deliver
This is awesome content. I love the series.
Ah another episode of excitement 😎 thanks

Great Video 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is really great work....It's like the return of the history chaannel! Thank you.
In fact, democratic soil assuming a constitutional monarchy already existed in Japan until about 1930, as in the Taisho democracy.
Even though there was a constitution at that time that granted the emperor the right to rule, there was also a concept similar to the symbolic emperor system, depending on interpretation.
The backlash against communism and the need for a buffer zone gave rise to the ultranationalist movement of 1935-1945.
Japanese history is interesting.
what an awesome series!!!
Great video
Good video, thanks!
3:27 Hello Mitsubishi! Sumitomo also! I remember Sumitomo having banks in San Francisco because my dad worked over there for a while in the 1980s.
These videos are great! I always wondered what happened with Japan between the opening of the country in the mid 19th century and the 30's, and this is a nice, concise way to learn.
Masterclass!👏👏👏
Great video THank you
EXCELLENT once more
This series makes me want to see a second, more expanded rework of HOI4's Japan Focus Tree.
EDIT: Specifically, expand the Industrial Tree with more options under the Zaibatsu, and additional Focuses for the Toseiha and Kodoha (both should be fascist), Showa Restoration, and the Democratic Path.
Seconded!
@@thekillingduck Hokushin-ron (Northern Plan) and Nanshin-ron (Southern Plan) should be accessible by both Toseiha and Kodoha. However, they would be designed like Poland's Plan West and Plan East. You cannot access the other until you complete the first plan of choice. Both paths require that you take the Test The Soviets decision at least once.
Going full monarchist is only accessible under Kodoha (Showa Restoration), with Focuses to make amends with the West, a NAP with China, and more perks for a war with the Soviets.
There should also be Prime Ministers as Advisers to Emperor Hirohito like those in Turkey (Including but not limited to Keisuke Okada, Fumimaro Konoe, Hideki Tojo, Kantaro Suzuki, and alt-history Isoroku Yamamoto.) For instance, a PM Yamamoto requires the Interservice Rivalry to be from Balanced to Navy Dominant, and cannot be an Admiral or Theorist at the same time.
@@necrodeath7726 More Showa Restoration perks, I suppose.
@@thekillingduck Japan being pushed out of the Asian mainland (for example, by Nationalist China) should trigger a countdown for growing Democratic support and possible Democratic Coup/Civil War within Japan. This can also be symbolized with events such as Stability hits, random suicides of Samurai Lineage generals, and Hirohito slowly favoring the civilian government.
I'd love to see the Meiji Restoration be a mod. Imagine fighting the Boshin war, then Satsuma Rebellion to beating China and then beating Russia. Hoi4 need Victorian Era mod
Very nice documentary.
You guys are, hands down, one of the very best at producing amazing, accurate, unbiased, and highly informative history content. You guys are right up there, along with the crew over at Time Ghost, as my favorite CZcams content creators. Bravo, and thank you for allowing me the privilege of viewing your content for free.
I wouldn't say unbased but they are right 90% of the time .
@@adolphbismark4331 Were they biased in this video?
great episode again :)
Quality content👍❤️
Excellent work
Thank you for video sir
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐💐💐
There's a problem with the first map. Tibet fell under the direct rule of Qing Empire on Feb 12, 1910 and the 13th Dalai Lama got deposed on the 25th. Mongolia, also, did not become independent until 1911, as the year before Sando was still appointed to rule the territory by the Qing Empire. Sando would then go on to declare his intention to support Mongolian Independence on December 1, 1911. A third inaccuracy is found in the Kingdom of Siam as there was yet one last border correction in favour of the Brits before the end of 1910.
The map in 1915 should show Tibet and Mongolia as de facto independent because no de jure status was reached at the time. As they weren't recognized yet, they should be coloured with a light shade of yellow as per cartography traditions. Similarly, the southeastern borders of Qajar Empire (Iran/Persia) also shifted because of the British, speaking in de facto terms. In other words, there's a lack of consistency with showing de facto/de jure territories for different countries here.
Nice series, thanks
I love how you have adopted a paradox stile in you videos
What time for the next episode of this playlist? Im waiting every tuesday so excited to watch your vids
Great video.

Outstanding!

This is so good K&G. Im your fans from Indonesia
3 mins in and already 100+ views! You guys always impress
Good Content!
Love all the videos, and I understand the time constraint, I wish this was a series though, sooo many things were glossed over, or generalized to the point of misleading people. Like resistance of the government in Tokyo to recognize the conquests of Manchuria, how this resistance is the reason why the Army was so desperate to legitimize the new Manchurian State, how this literally ended with the assassination the Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi. (His final words are movie-worthy!) This era is super thick in content and complexity and is so usually simplified by modern nationalists...
Very, very, very well done.

Informative
Someone was playing Ghost of Tsushima at 10:57. Still, nice addition in a great video.
