- Everyone knows about the main events of WW2. But what happened immediately after Japan surrendered? What happened to its former leaders? Who assumed control? What were the Japanese forced to give up? How did Japan become the next greatest innovational industrial complex leading the tech industry?

People argue against the nukes, but having grandparents who fought in WW2, i probably wouldn't be here if there was a mainland invasion.
Probably true of even some of the armchair historians who think it's terrible through the lens of 80 years.
Japan was basically north Korea only the rest of the world traded with them. Scary.
The argument against this is your grandparents were voluntary combatants fighting opposition combatants. One of the main arguments against the nukes are that they eliminated so many innocent men, women and children. Not to mention the cruel and inhumane way people perished for years afterwards from radiation.
@@NANA-kf1csI don’t think a lot of people volunteered. You know most soldiers were conscripted. The Japanese had some unique beliefs that would mean the fighting in Japan would have been very hard, they followed a death before dishonour, the fighting on the islands was brutal. Plus American needed the nukes to take over as the worlds number one power.
@@NANA-kf1csjapan committed far worse atrocities in regions they occupied, besides millions more innocent civilians and soldiers would've died if they had proceeded with a land invasion
Do u think it's ok for u to be here at the expense of others
People should remember what JAPAN has done to ASIA
You scared the poop out of me!! I thought you had gotten a new narrator for a moment, until I heard that warm voice I've grown to love! You've got such a knack for narrating these videos. Please, don't go anywhere!!!
Okay, I'm better now 😜
I don’t think MacArthur “stepped down”. I believe he was removed from command.
They still don't admit to their culpability nor the extreme barbarism by their troops.
Worse, their prime ministers, since the 1990's, have gone to the Yasukuni Shrine and honored the war criminals (like Tojo) there.
@@davidb2206 Not surprising.
A peaceful people (sic) with a dreadful past who have never faced up to it and have never apologized or paid reparations for their wrong doings. Several of my parents generation who were victims of japanese brutality would never buy anything Japanese post war. And I don't blame them. The Japanese were never accountable. Its wrong!
I remember reading some decades ago that a government representative suggested collecting testimonials of veterans' war time experiences to show how good they were. A group quietly suggested to him, "That is not a good idea". That was the end of the proposed project.
Welp, Unit 731 guys were never convicted. As mentioned in the video, the US had no problem working with war criminals or turning a blind eye on their past as long as they were useful. The Japanese themselves opted to stay silent, with no real political power interested in admitting how the war looked like and what the Japanese troops did all over Asia and Pacific.
Nutty is like that Teacher in High School you actually looked forward to learning from. Thanks Professor Nut. 😃
He has the perfect voice for educational lectures
With ocasional humour 👍
This is all good stuff, but you did not mention the huge contribution made by Dr. W. Edwards Deming on introducing quality processes to Japanese industry. He helped them go from an importing nation to an exporting one that turned out some of the greatest quality products still to this day. The highest award for quality in the world is awarded each year in Japan. It is called the Deming Prize.
What a great comment, I wish there were more like this. I guess I could also bring up Harry J. Anslinger, who spearheaded the post-war anti-drug crusade in Japan. It failed miserably, because he didn't consider the widespread use of meth (known as _Philopon_ in Japan) a problem, unlike some other substances. According to what I could find, as much as 7.5 percent of Japanese people might have used meth at some point in their lives by the mid-1950's.
I remember hearing a briefing about Deming, statisical process control in re-building Japan's industry. We were told that Japan should build a statue to Demming and that we needed to apply his principles.
@@kenwalker687 Deming is considered a national hero, but I don't know if they built any statues to him. That Deming Prize ceremony is a national televised event, much like we used to do the Oscars/Emmys. It is sad to think that very few American companies have ever won it.
Indeed, pre-war Japan was exporting some goods but they were not known for high quality.
I had two great uncles who served in the US occupation of Japan right after World War II before they both got sent to Korea to fight.
How do you feel about that?
@@jagoz7465 why do you ask?
I had 2 fathers, 4 uncles, 3 sisters and a mentally challenged nephew serve in Japan after WW2.
My great uncle Billy served in the USMC during WW2. He was stationed in Tokyo to act as a police officer for a year after the war. He said it was so ugly he had no desire to ever go back.
@dennislogan6781 I had a great uncle who was a Montford Point Marine he fought in the Battle of Peleliu and Okinawa, and he served in the Korean War as well.
LOL rewriting history seems to be very common... MacArthur never stepped down... Truman fired him!
I noticed that too.
Correct 🙂
Because he was nuke crazy
He got fired when commander in Korea and forgot that President Truman was Commanderi-in-Chief of the military.
He was fired from commanding UN forces in Korea not from the occupational direction of Japan.
Great video ! Love to see more like these. Great teaching till also
This is a great video. Very informative!
Japan
It must have been morale crushing to the people when they realized their emperor was no divine being nor a god but just a merr human being
Keep grindin’ my man. Quality stuff here.
Another great lesson from NH!
Japan got off easy fr.
I think it’s because the Soviet Union was becoming a Very Big Problem.
@@treystephens6166 Yes, the day after the war ended. Just like that Austrian painter had predicted. Exactly as he predicted.
@@davidb2206 what did Mr. H predict ???
@@treystephens6166 Just as General Patton said, too: "We defeated the wrong enemy." Mr H predicted that Bolshevism (communism/Stalin) would reveal itself as the real enemy of the West (and Western Europe), which did in fact result in an immediate "Cold War" for the next 40 years, including the Berlin Airlift, the "wall," and all the other Eastern Europe atrocities.

I work with a Japanese lady in her 30s who had zero knowledge of the Bataan Death March
I have met Americans who have no idea where Bosnia is or what we did there.
@@MrIronose she has a history degree...i should have put that in my comment...
@@NoNameNoFace-rr7li or maybe she didn’t want to admit it.
Ask her if she knows about Unit 731
To be fair most Americans think we were the good guys in WWII.
We were not.
For all those who question the use of nukes, here are some questions for you:
1. Would you prefer to have it that around a million US military should die in order to conquer Imperial Japan? Because what other realistic alternative was there, apart from US invasion?
2. Are you comfortable with upwards of 4 million Japanese citizens dying during a conventional weaponry conquest of Imperial Japanese main islands by the USA?
3. What proof is there of any legitimate and credible surrender attempt on the part of the Japanese?
4. If you are aware of a legitimate surrender attempt by the Japanese, what were the terms of such a surrender? Explain, in detail, what parts of the Imperial Japanese empire the Japanese intended to keep?
5. Why are you more concerned over the suffering of Japanese, when you seem to have so little compassion for the millions who were murdered by the Imperial Japanese... all because of their home-grown racism and militant 'bushido' ideologies?
6. Are you comfortable with half of Imperial Japan being controlled by the USSR...? This would have been a certain outcome, had the USA not forced a rapid surrender.
7. Why are you so certain that the Japanese were just about to surrender anyway in 1945, when all evidence of the time exists to the contrary? What do you know, that the Allies at the time didn't?
8. Don't you dare answer any of my questions with a question! That would just prove your cowardice and stupidity.
Your absolutely right brotha they have no clue about the apocalyptic situation that was to come if the allies continued through with the mainland invasion so much more lives would’ve been lost on both sides if Japan didn’t surrender that is the truth, have to take the bad with the good it’s a harsh reality of life ‼️💯
Please note that it would not have been an American invasion of Japan ... it would have been an allied invasion of Japan that would have included troops from Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
@@JeromeKatchin-jr1um And the Soviet Union in the North.
It's very simple. They started it and the USA finished it.
What was the purpose of the stupid scratch overlay? It's already old film reel.
It made me give up
Japan was so grateful to the US for telling them who dropped the Atomic Bombs
( Whale 🐋 and dolphin 🐬 )
That they agreed to end the war and work with the US 😊
Learned some information about the
Occupation that I previously didn't
know . Always learning something
new about the largest event In
history. Higly interesting and
informative. THANKS !
From what I can observe. 2023 marked a huge year for Japan and it's military restrictions from previous years. They are getting stacked now.
Yeah the ultra-nationalism had never really been defeated by the occupation it just went underground
And it's got a few flickers of life in it that occasionally bring themselves to the mainstream of Japanese politics
Nippon Kaigi is one of these groups and the former prime minister shinzo Abe was affiliated with them for a brief period of time
MacArthur: The Last Shogun!
Yes, MacArthur read and understood Japanese history and knew they would accept him as "shogun".
Japan was responsible for its devastation.
Women now wear extremely tight clothing and we are failing as humans as the younger and younger wear skin tight clothing
You would prefer they wear burqas?
I wish someone would re-build the USA.
It would have to fall to rebuild itself.
@@ryanS593
It doesn’t have to fall. Our elected officials can no longer be trusted to take care of the country. We keep on electing them anyway…
@@_robustus_ agreed. All these officials are bought out by special interest lobbyists and are corrupted. We need regular people to run. None that can be bought. That’s a tall order tho.
Just make sure you vote for Joe. ❤🩹
@@kenwalker687 voting for either of them is not rebuilding. We need new faces in politics. Not Joe or the con artist. Neither of them are any good for bringing the country together and rebuilding. Biden said he would unify and be a president for both sides. But he’s only attacked the right and caused more division. Trump is a pawn of the far right. So it’s a no win situation. That’s why this country needs to rebuild itself.
after japan surrendered, they conquered anime realm. kawaii desuu ❤❤❤
Japan has been sending soldiers to fight in wars with the US since at least the 90's to train and develop their military. Iraq and Afghanistan had Japanese soldiers fighting in open combat.
Didn’t MacArthur get fired ? Not step down ?
Yes, he got fired because he forgot who was Commander-in-Chief of all US armed forces and had his own plans in Korea. Also, he kept POTUS waiting for him, which is minor compared to his other offenses. He probably wanted to be the next POTUS.
Read history book/ biography about pilot who lead attack on Pearl Harbor, a Dolittle raider captured in China by Japanese soldiers & a missionary family living in Japan
I like this story of the 20th century instead of Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, or even the Vikings. Japan probably learned from its mistakes, the bomb had to be dropped to save more American and Japanese lives. From the ashes of war came the rise of a new economic Japanese nation, no country in the world had done that except the Japanese.
It's kind of sad that the Japanese nationalism that the occupation tried to eliminate has unfortunately continued
Nippon Kaigi is probably the most well known
The former prime minister of Japan was affiliated with this type of group politically for a brief time
Every time I see that picture of MacArthur I see Bruce Willis..lol
Gen macarthur was relieved of his command during korean war. Bcuz american govt dont want him to cross the red line that will trigger another war against china and russia if america will push through north korea.
if the japanese had nuclear technology at that time they could have used itmuch earler than USA during WWII.
Japan is an Awesome Nation
This might be a really good video, but the fake scratches are too distracting so I gave up!
This script is on the agenda for Ukraine...
Hirohito should have had to stand trial for War Crimes
What about the U.S.?
Did you really just say the Japanese people heard their emperor for first time with this surrender speech? How? Radio had been around for 15-20 yrs. And, the emperor had been in power for a while.
It's a crazy notion! Not only that, the type of Japanese which the Emperor spoke in was a Royal and highly formal form and ordinary Japanese people listening could not fathom that he's trying to say that the Empire is surrendering.
As a living god, the ordinary Japanese people were not allowed ANY contact with the emperor. That meant not looking at him directly, and not being allowed to be addressed by him. He had never before made a radio address, so that was indeed the first time the populace had heard his voice. Him addressing the Japanese people was one of the requirements of the peace treaty and the first step in removing his god status. Also, the photo of him with MacArthur which was shown in this video was meant to show how puny he (and Japan) was compared to the powerful Americans. Propoganda toward the goal of removing ultra-nationalism from the society.
Because the royal family was extremely invested in making him appear to be a god essentially sitting on a distant Hill that mere mortals couldn't visit.
There are rumors that people were executed for trying to take pictures of him
@@miyavizim I learned this in high school and maybe earlier as my family had close ties with Japan before Dec 7 and Nationalist Chinese. Foreign trade issues....
Japan became a crazed imerialistic autocracy after the stock market crash in 1929 and the world entering a deep depression, similar to what happened in Germany. Before that, they were an established Democracy, but it was wrecked by economic collapse. Similar to Germany, the road to war and the ultimate defeat have seen a complete gutting of warmongering and the population has since, in both countries, turned to economic domination of markets and a resistance to have nuclear weapons or any advanced military at all. Likely this is also due to the USA and its sitting on both countries post war.
What you're searching for is also searching for you.
MacArthur was a shogun
My dad has binoculars from occupied Japan
I wonder how Japan would've turned out if mainland China wasn't communist.
Would Japan be pressured more to face their war crimes?
Would Nationalist China want harsh reparations from Japan and put the U.S. in an awkward position?
The US and our allies were preparing for the Cold War. Nothing would have been different.
Disappointing comment USA is great. You should leave
eff the capitalism vs communism rivalry.
KGB is tanking you for this anti CIA video!
So glad Japan has amazing animes they produce now !!
Why the fake scratches? Amateurish production.
I wish that the atomic bomb was not invented. All those souls human and animal were killed and martyred for stopping the war. Those people that are still alive but scared from those bombs are to be held on a higher lever of kindness.
Now they are obsolete and a proven waste of money, but can we rid ourselves of them? My generation failed miserably.
Wish you could say the same about the millions Japan medically experimented on. They were just cruel for the sake of it.
The atomic bomb absolutely would have been invented even if the US hadn't; too many scientists, too many physicists, and too many theories and calculations had been made in the twenties and thirties for someone to not eventually make one.
It gave the japanese incentive to surrender, and the casualties from a actual invasion were so bad the US minted like 2 million purple heart medals in anticipation, so many in fact they only started minting new ones in the 2000s, that is how bad they expected it
Those two bombs saved millions of lives in Japan, and, very importantly, gave the Japanese leadership a way to END that devastating world war. Get a good reference source that is easy to read, like 50 Common Myths About Japanese-Americans and the Atomic Bomb in WWII: The Non-PC Answers You Will Not Find on Wikipedia.
Stopped watching because of the scratch pattern that was completely unnecessary. Give us the facts, use pretty borders but don’t try to make it seem that every image from WWII was scored at 90 and 45 degrees.
Such a shame since the content was quite interesting. However, there are other less afflicted videos that say the same thing.
I suppose this attention to detail is what separates amateur and professional content creators from one and other.
Imagine being so entitled that you have a audacity to come into the video of a clearly very professional not only content creator but a history expert AND an video editor and you take the time and to critize his had work.
This guy just made history himself by leaving HIS WORK for other to see and use. What have you done exaclty?
Im early ❤

I'm glad Japan makes great motorcycles
Japan will be islam as europe and american did.
Probably not, they're a monolithic culture. They don't invite enemies into their country to destroy themselves.
