      except, America dident treat Japan this well.
      and the Americans are not really good guys.
      edit: this comment section is just filled with a bunch of what-aboutism. shows the normal IQ level of USA simps. if your country have done something bad admit it, even if Japan did something bad also. the diffrence between the Japanesse and the Americans, is that the Japanesse could own up to their faults. do you really want to advocate for the use of atomic bombs during war? because Russia and China would probably be able to respond to that. morals matters. and dont just preach it, act it!
      but sure, keep preaching this, because this time, your actions, will eventually bite you back. there is other nations with the same capabilities. and you cant blame these nations to be bad or evil, not based on your actions and your abilities to take responsibility for them. America is the only nation in the world to have ever used nukes in war. and if you cant admit that is wrong, why should everyone else not do the same?
      rape, murder and torture have always been a part of war, but nukes is an escalation. and if you disagree, what would be the consicvences if the entier world used nukes, compared to if the entier world would rape, murder and torture, during a war. the answer should not be difficult.

      my first comment: but America dident treat Japan this good though.
      this comment section is filled with a bunch of what-aboutism or strawman arguments, even if Japan did something bad, dosent mean that America did something good.
      r-ing , m-ing and turtering have alays been normal in w-r. a-oming is an escalation. U-S-A is the only nation to do that.
      if U-S-A cant take responsibility and admit that it was wrong, why should any one else?
      and if you dont think it is wrong, then imagine if all nations in the world was r-ing, m-ing and turtering during a w-r compared to all nations throwing a-ombs.
      which would bear the greater consicvences? the answer should be very easy.
      morals matters, dont just preach it, act it!
      stop mentioning Nanking, where did Japan scar the land with Radiation that took 100 years to reach an almost normal level? yes it droped, but dident reach noraml level before very recnetly. that is not the same thing, not even comparable, one is mainly a death toll, the other is mainly a genetic scar upon generations.

    Sounds like the Japanese Government in WWII. They told their people and soldiers before the war, that we (the US) were weak and worthless warriors who couldn't''t stand up to the Japanese military. Later after they started losing then the stories changed and we were vicious rapists and murderers, even to the point of suggesting Marines were taken from prisons and mental institutions to fight. Whenever they had a chance to surrender most of their military (as much to do with training as propaganda) preferred to die versus surrender. At Okinawa when we encountered Japanese civilians many committed suicide versus surrender because of those stories about Americans. Yet many Soldiers and Marines tried to save civilians at the risk to their own lives. If the Emperor hadn't forced a surrender and the government (both US and Japanese) started trying to counter much of their wartime propaganda it could have been a blood bath during the Occupation. Even then a number of military personnel and civilians committed suicide to preclude the Americans committing atrocities against them (which never happened in the first place). Once they realized Americans weren't monsters and even wanted to help, in spite of the horrific things the Japanese military did during the war, it worked out and Japan and the US developed a good relationship eventually as Allies and friends.

      MacArthur directly engaged the Emperor to help with the post war occupation and rebuilding. The Emperor was a relatively young man (in his 30’s during Japanese military buildup) and was influenced by Tojo and the more aggressive army generals. Yamamoto had been to the US. He saw what the industrial base of the US could do. While it was true the American Armed Forces were well behind many other countries, Yamamoto never believed the American fighting spirit was weak. It’s just that the Naval Commanders weren’t as nationalistic as the Generals, so Hirohito was deceived by them. MacArthur’s reputation (and his ego) got immeasurably larger as the Pacific War went on, so the Emperor was genuinely impressed with MacArthur and his desire to help the Japanese people. One wonders if Roosevelt had instead put Patton in charge of the Pacific theater how might that been different.

Who we really are, or at least who most of us probably think of ourselves as, is strong when needed but tender at heart and even after a great war with so many deaths that its in our very nature to WANT to get along with each other and to live in peace, even though we know that can't always be the case.

      I'm bulgarian, in WWI we fought alongside Germany against the Entante. There was a relatively minor Balkan thetre of the war, but none the less, France had brought it's colonial expeditionary forces. Afterr a major battle wee had captured substantial number of french and colonial soldiers. While talking with his french counterpart, bulgarian officer asked "Why your negros keep to themselves and always look afraid from us?" the french answeared through laughter "In order to keep their morale high, we've told them you'rer cannibals who eat the hearts of their enemies." So yeah, people tell shit about others all the time. I'm afraid we'd be more of '41 Germany than '45 USA if we ever manage to conquer other planet.

    I'm speechless!! The Tyraxians suffered under their OWN government, not the humans. Chances are it was Tyraxian aggression that spurred the humans to simply defend themselves. But the punishment wasn't meted out to the civilians or even some of the soldiers. They performed their duty and died in service of their people. That's what we would have said. But the Tyraxians themselves weren't to blame.
    Now THIS is a humanity worth fighting and dying for!! A humanity whose intention wasn't to be a galactic power, but to learn and understand other life in the galaxy. Not to judge, but to defend, not to punish, but to say "There is a better way". Hopefully this occupation turned into a solid and long lasting Alliance.

    My Grandfather told stories about his time in WWII. After he was badly wounded in Italy in 1944, he transferred to Eisenhower's staff and served on the planning committee for OLYMPIC. That was the operational name for the planned invasion of Japan. When asked by me, he said that he and all of his compatriots were VERY worried about what would happen. 1 million US casualties in the first year was a conservative estimate, the expected deaths of Japanese civilians and military forces would be far higher. I asked him about dropping the bomb and he said 'It was a bad choice, but we only HAD bad and worse choices then.' He did not expect the Emperor to surrender, no one in high command did. He said when they heard that that a sigh of relief went around the entire headquarters.
    What happened was bad. Let no one say otherwise, but it could have been so much worse for everyone. Emperor Hirohito was vilified by many people after the war, and some of that is deserved but in the end, the Emperor put the good of his people before his own, even knowing that he could be hanged like was planned for the Nazis. Such a selfless act in and of itself earned my respect and the respect of my family. We will not forget what happened WWII or why, but we know honor when we see it.

      Thank you for such a reasoned comment.
      The Japanese had three days between Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Rather than let the public choose, they suppressed all the information they could.
      The US military gave them a chance to cleanly surrender, despite the atrocities they committed all over Asia...they didn't take it. We bombed Hiroshima and killed 100,000 people, and gave them a chance to surrender. They didn't take it. So we bombed Nagasaki and killed 30,000 people. When they understood that we would just keep bombing until they surrendered, well, they did the right thing.
      My grandfather was one of Oppenheimer's and E.O. Lawrence's students at Cal, a physicist and engineer for the Manhattan Project and OSRD under Vannevar Bush, working as a kind of scientific fixer. He was offered a seat on one of the Enola Gay's chase planes but declined. He didn't want to see the bomb go off, yet he maintained that the we took the most merciful option available.
      He also said he was fairly sure the Nazis had beaten us to the a-bomb, based on being seconded to the OSS in late '44 and early '45 to evaluate their multiple a-bomb programs. He said that we had no choice but to research the weapons because the Nazis only lacked delivery systems, but as soon as they got them, bye bye London and New York. Still such an odd period of history.

Just look at human history ,yes we still didnt evolved enough but looking at the most developed countries not fighting each over is refreshing.
      Even today if we can expect new big scale conflicts its ussualy the same war between democracy (the west and asian democracies) and the authoritarian communists and natioanlists like Russia, china , Iran and other dictatorial countries in S.America or Africa.
      Economicaly and deplomaticly its not worth to have a war, Europeans have problems with each over too but we set them diplomaticly , thats how the future human race will evolve i hope.

    It’s nice to listen to a story that doesn’t trash on humanity for a change. Very reminiscent of WW2 with Japan. Odds are they were more powerful than the humans but didn’t take into consideration our capacity to adapt to war. The question is whether you can win quickly enough before the enemy can get their industrial capacity up to speed.
    In the beginning of the Japanese war, we had a few carriers with untested soldiers against battle hardened Japan. In the end, our numbers extended over the horizon while Japan had to send barely trained pilots.
    Also says the quality of the victors in how they treat their defeated enemy to which I am proud to be an American and it sound like that influence survives into this story.

      Yes, I like that, in a lot of these narrated sci-fi stories I see now, humanity is either in a position of power or their adaptability allows them to turn the tables. Humans are sometimes also physically stronger and superior in some of them. and humanity also has a strong moral center, as well. This is in contrast to most sci-fi media where humans are much more technologically primitive, physically weaker, and generally helpless against any alien civilizations, barring plot armor or deus ex machina.

    The Tyraxians sure didnt get invaded by the same humans that came to the Americas. Must have been the Star Trek next generation humans.

    This sounds eerily familiar to the feelings Japanese people had near the end of WWII. Many who believed the propaganda coming from the government had no idea they were so close to losing until finally they heard the emperors voice announcing their surrender.

    Rule of war, don't attack those who surrender, treat them with dignity. Do not attack unarmed civilians or children.

    Out of curiosity, how do you decide which stories to feature on your channel and how do you reach out to the authors?
