Hey Luka. So yeah, the atomic bombings of Japan were kind of a double edged sword resulting in the deaths of about 144,000 Japanese. However, here’s the thing. American intelligence was predicting that a full-scale invasion of Japan would result in the deaths of 1 million American soldiers (on top of the already 400,000 dead) and 5 million Japanese while also prolonging the war for five more years. Also, you’ve got to remember that surrendering for the Japanese was a no no, so every man, woman, and child would fight against the Americans and the allies. Finally, as mentioned in the video, the Soviet Union was occupying Eastern Europe and was about to launch an invasion of northern Japan, so the US and UK used the atomic bombs to warn the Soviet Union to knock it off. On a side note, the war crimes committed by the Japanese were barely mentioned in these videos, but I highly encourage you to look them up on CZcams (documentaries). Many historians say they are equal to or even worse than the atrocities the Nazis committed. These were the type of soldiers American troops had to deal with. On another side note, you bring up the US and UK being so close friends during the World Wars. Franklin Roosevelt (American president during WW2) and Churchill were really close friends. I believe Churchill cried when Roosevelt died a few years later. Also, one of our United States Navy’s Destroyers is named after Churchill. It is the only American ship with the Royal Navy flag on it and has a Royal Navy officer on it at all times as part of tradition. Look more in the comments if you want to learn more about it. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/ovpNe8Bvg-U/video.html
As much as U.S and U.K poke fun at each other, at the end of the day we got the most love for each other than almost any other two countries. Not to mention some of the most power too 🇺🇸 🍻 🇬🇧
Not to mention the millions killed firebombing tokyo and dozens of other cities.
The atomic bombing kills are wrong btw. That was just one city the total is like 400k.
@@deathcon6261 Both bombs combined at the high range of estimates put Japanese deaths at 220K.
Second cousins once removed
luka’s gotta be like the only reaction channel i watch for the personality and not the video
same
You should react to “the fallen of ww2” next. It will really stun you.
Oh yea that's a good video
that video is very good but when it talks about the loses the soviet union had everybody only thinks of Russia but the soviet union took up a bunch of eastern European countries at the time such as belerus and ukraine and the video does not go into that but it had probably 3x the amount of deaths compared to germany
Please do that
that one really change perspective on who "won" the war
He did
"This enraged his father, who punished him severely," is a joke from Oversimplified's series on Hitler.
It's a truly fascinating series that really explains the life and mind of Hitler, and why he became the most evil man in modern history.
Stalin is arguably just as bad
@@dusk2dawn0 hitler was more racist but Stalin killed more
and why he became the most evil man in modern history.
Mao Zedong has entered the chat.
and why he became the most evil man in history
Tojo and other Japanese responsible for Nanking: Am I a joke to you
My dad was an MP sergeant in Patton's army. He was in the battle of the bulge, processing a lot of German prisoners. A few of those men are still with us but they are passing on fast now.
..
Wow! My dad was an MP in Patton’s army in Luxembourg & Belgium. He was shot twice & returned to the states on the Queen Mary. He lived to be 91 (just two weeks shy of 92). He & two of his brothers served in WWII. Yes, not many of them left...what a blessing to the world they were!🇺🇸
@@AmarieH216 They quite possibly knew each other. There were only three companies of MP's in the 503rd Military Police Battalion. My dad was in Company C.
My mother's name was Anne-Marie.
..
People say how many died because America nuked Japan... People don't realize that many more would've died if America had to actually put 500k to a million troops on Japanese mainland.
That intro was gold 😂
"Trying to get that money."
Fun fact: Germany was running low on oil at the time which was fueling their tanks, planes, etc. That is why they focused on the oil.
2nd Fun Fact: Japan didn't surrender after Hiroshima and may have forced a 3rd bombing if the threat of both it and the USSR forced them to surrender.
Not many people know that
soviets didn't declare war on japan till august ninth 1945 six days before the surrender of japan. Watch "hell in the pacific" A documentary made in the late 70's featuring many of the generals and government officials from the U.S and Japan. The atomic bombs made the prospect of an honorable death in a struggle against the allies an obsolete concept. The would face annihilation in a dozen quick flashes. Members of the Japanese government said it the documentary.
@@bluebird3281 even with that, the majority of the war council did not see the atomic bombs that much of a big deal. The air raids over the major Japanese cities were much more devastating than the atomic bombs were so the councils did not see the bombs as a big deal. They decided to disregard the bombs and keep fighting, some of them even wanted to keep fighting after the Soviet Union declared war. In the end it was the Emperor that made the final decision.
Also to mention that it was not the atomic bomb that disregarded the death before dishonor concept but having Stalin take control of the country and making it into a communistic state was a fate far worst than death. Not to mention Stalin was a very cruel and sadistic man than had no intention of keeping the imperial family alive. He would have also treated the Japanese citizens like animals so Japan had no choice but to surrender either to the United States or Soviet Union. Picking the lesser of 2 evils they went with the USA
@@MikeHunt-yl1so No doubt stalin would have done all that and more. Question is was he in a position to, with needing to consolidate his gains in the west and repair the massive infrastructure damage done to his country. Then get the bulk of his army a few thousand miles east and contend with the anglo American alliance in the south pacific. Who might not have been pleased with ussr newly at war with Japan seizing territory like they did in eastern europe. The official I saw in the documentary said it was the bombs that drove decision to surrender. But they attacked pearl harbor while negotiating peace in Washington, so he might have fibbed to me. Either way glad people still pay attention to history.
Here's some stuff you might want to react to.
1. Hitler Oversimplified: it's about how he became so evil and how he rose to power
2. The Russian Revolution Oversimplified: It gives context to the parts about Russia in the videos.
3. The history of Japan by Bill Wurtz: it's by the same guy who made the history of entire world video, so it will be fun
4. Playing the Victim | Historical Revisionism and Japan: It's barely mentioned, but Japan did some messed up stuff during ww2 and that's what the video is mainly about. ( Note: if you want to watch it, watch #3 first, as it criticizes it a bit)
no one was safe from Hitlers Wrath, not even Hitler himself.
Man, just realized, since you’re British, you had a lot more history to learn in depth from before recent times than us in the US, which means they had to minimalise the 20th century in the education system. We learned a lot of this in school
Yeah we learn about both world wars mainly how they effected us but we learned nothing about The Cold War or
Vietnam or many of the more modern conflicts
I know it was awful, but l do understand why it was done. Never forget this young man. Teach your children, also❤️

Something to keep in mind when it comes to the whole A-bomb thing... Deaths were skyrocketing at this point.
Iwo Jima: nearly 7,000 US dead. 18,000 Japanese dead.
Guadalcanal: 7,000 US dead. 19,000 Japanese dead.
Okinawa: 12,500 US dead. 80,000+ Japanese dead. 50,000+ civilians dead.
These weren't even mainland Japan which all military and cultural experts on Japan thought would see even MORE ardent defense. What's not mentioned in the video (hence 'oversimplified') is the propaganda Japanese people were exposed to about allied troops, specifically US marines. Women would hold their children and leap off cliffs to commit suicide. In a lot of respects, a war on the Japanese mainland might very well have been just as consuming of life as the eastern front of the European theater. One hopes atomic bombs never have to be used and aren't used again, but given the context of WW2 and what was happening, it's understandable. Tragic, unfortunate, wish it didn't have to happen, but happen it did.
It might make you feel better to know America dropped thousands of leaflets warning of the attack over every target city and that Japan had 100,000+ POWs ordered to be executed should the Americans invade. They also expected the Japanese civilians to either evacuate or retreat to bunkers when they saw the plane combined with the warning (obviously they didn't, some apparently though it was just a weather or scout plane). Not to mention that the fire bombings were just as destructive and any other alternative short of surrender would have cost an order of magnitude more lives. Plus the absolute horrific things the Japanese did were just as bad, if not worse in many cases, as the Nazis. So I don't really think there's much moral grey area there personally. It sucks that it had to happen but really what else could the Allies have done?
5:00 we stunned a lot of people with that hold, I’d say if it wasn’t for the efforts put in by the Rats of Tobruk, the war would’ve gone on for much much longer
The island hopping campaign was nuts. Japan would come out of each island with only a handful (like literally maybe a couple hundred) of survivors. As an infantryman I just look at the terrain and its an absolute nightmare. Hats off to those guys.
The Japanese would make tunnel systems in the hills and dig in machine guns and mortars that were camouflaged with vegetation, completely hidden until they opened up at the advancing Allied troops. Every tree potentially had a suicide sniper concealed in its foliage. The final campaign for Japan would have involved millions of suicide fighters.
My great uncle fought and died in the island hopping campaign. He won a medal for bravery and died at 22.
Fun fact, japan actually almost didnt surrender after the bombs. Some top officials in japan were planning a coup to prevent the emperor from surrendering but they didnt get enough support and the coup got shut down
It didn't get shut down. The coup was attempted and was defeated.
@@RexFuturi 'Defeated' and 'shut down' for a coup is the same thing...
@@cavscout888 Shut down can give the impression that it was ended without actual violence. Defeated indicates there was a fight. The coup wasn't talked down.
@@RexFuturi OK, 'can give the impression' can't exactly be an inaccurate statement. I'd use the expression either way. Weren't a couple guards killed, and an officer or two killed themselves or were executed? It's been a while.
@@cavscout888 Yeah, they never managed a pitched battle. But the conspirators took over part of the palace complex and captured a bunch of people. They eventually gave up because one of the officers they had hoped would join them showed up and sided against them. Once completely outnumbered, the coup failed. Part of the resolution was the Japanese method of suiciding out of any problem, so several officers chose that over fighting. Unfortunately for the conspirators, they were time constrained and could not get enough support from the leaders in the immediate vicinity.
Luka I was a History Major and I love the fact that you are getting a condensed but factual history lesson. I think that if teachers would make their lessons fun students would listen and learn better than they do now.
"War is an act of violence and there are no logical boundaries in implementing violence"
Carl von Clausewitz
Over the last year, I’ve seen you when you were a smaller channel and I’m so glad to see that you come across as so much more comfortable while reacting. Good work man
Luka, I love your reactions to this kind of stuff. My grandma who is still alive and kicking survived Pearl Harbor as a girl, but her uncle died in the Battle of Midway. It’s crazy to think that he was about the same age as you and me when he made that sacrifice. When I get back home in a month I’m planning to record my grandma talking about her experiences. I’ll be sure to leave a comment on your future video if she’s okay with it being released online if you’d like to hear the story of what she remembers.
My grandfather was at Iwo Jima. Army Air Corps.
It’s sad that I learned more in a 20 minute video on CZcams then 12 years of school, the education system is garbage....
My great grandfather was captured during the battle of the bulge and had both of his legs broken
16:15 Correct the main reason for dropping them besides to show power to the USSR was to prevent millions of more lives being lost. (Millions of US, allies and Japanese soldiers along with civilians) During the battle of Okinawa there was Mass suicide by Japanese Civilians. I've heard it was from Japanese soldiers forcing them to do it that way they don't talk to US Soldiers but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Agreed. I bought into the "Russia declared war on them therefore Japan surrendered" argument for a minute but even that one doesn't make much sense when you look at the Russian navy and the semi-Cold War that developed after Germany was defeated. The US Navy was insanely huge compared to the Russians and there was no way the powers at the time would have allowed Russia to invade mainland Japan. The three options for defeating Japan was a blockade eventually starving them out, invasion, or the bomb. The bomb option was probably the best option.
@@chaost4544 I think it was absolutely hilarious that the US was producing 90 aircraft in one year (1943-1944). That's fucking insane
Shortly after that the hydrogen bomb was developed. Thousand times bigger payload. The Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest we've come to annihilation. In school we were taught to get under our desks in case of nuclear attack.
Bro I'm on the US west coast and I look forward to watching your videos because you usually post right when I get off work. Love the sports reacts and the new history reacts. Keep it up bro
when he says that he didn't learn about the atomic bombings until he was 12 or 13 that was so insane to me because I grew up like 15 miles from one of the manhattan project locations. i have like two dozen family members who worked on it. and even way back in like kindergarten we were always hearing about "it was such a great victory" or "it was a monstrosity" and like... idk i guess just the idea that other people don't learn about this until later in life is weird to me.
There’s a shared camaraderie between the UK, US, and France. Despite being very different, we all developed along similar lines. And once we reached a certain level of development, it became obvious that we make natural allies.
We all generally believe in the same things. Stemming from the French virtues of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. The French don’t get enough credit for just how much their political philosophies have molded the major powers. And how that shared influence created the powerhouse alliance that has since shaped world affairs, for better or worse.
You are my new favorite CZcamsr ngl
There was one Japanese guy who survived both Atomic bombs. He was on a business trip or something in Hiroshima when the first bomb dropped. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki three days later and told his boss about what he saw. His boss told him he was insane for thinking that one bomb could destroy an entire city and then it happened again.
Unlucky
Legitimately, not about reactions, you should watch Letters from Iwo Jima if you haven't already. It's a stunning film that really captures how brutal the Pacific Theater of WWII was for Japanese and US forces. It's really gut-wrenching in a way.
Enjoying your videos buddy, thanks for sharing!
My great grandfather fought against the Japanese in WW2. He was a Gurkha which is Nepal’s special forces. My grandpa once told me a story of how his dad (my great grandfather) had gone through a jungle in Burma to deliver intel with his squadron and they ran into a Japanese soldier taking a shit next to a tree. They caught them with their pants down. 😂 True story
I know that these are movies & Mini-series but the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan is a great show of the invasion at Normandy and Band of Brothers will show the chaos of the paratroopers at that same time.
Love your reaction videos. Not sure how old you are but you're more aware of history than most kids here (USA). Keep up the good work
I'd love to see you do the one he did about the Falklands War
You should react to the Cold War by oversimplified

I second this
Nah, he needs to watch the Hitler oversimplified before getting to the Cold War!
Also worth watching is Churchill's speech about the Iron Curtain. There is also a Churchill Museum in Missouri where he delivered the speech. And the Berlin Wall speech by Ronald Reagan is timeless as well.
@jaycob ellis i watched that in uk its not banned
"Band of Brothers" miniseries, many British actors.
It’s amazing
The US is Britain’s most successful and independent child. We’re the kid who rebelled all throughout high school, left home at 18 after an argument, and somehow became a massive success on their own. We’ve had our fights with the UK/Britain, but we will come over and help out if someone is bullying our parent or our siblings like Australia.
As an American, it's astonishing to me that there is someone who doesn't know about the cold war. I think you will find it's history very interesting and relevant to how the world as we know it came to be.
Times have changed. Even Americans these days have no understanding of the Cold War and why Communism is so looked down upon. Is a new generation who never had to deal with it. Which is kind of scary, as you used to never even want to utter the word Communism, but it seems to be all the rage these days along with Socialism. Though the kids are too dumb to know which is which.
Thanks man, I've been waiting to watch with you.
Just remember, you are getting an explanation of the actions but very little of the driving motives behind these actions. Which is just as important.
Hey man. American from Cali. Your doing a great job with your channel good luck. Love the reactions
"We have been shooting for over 7 hours non stop, our guns are overheating but they just wont stop coming"

Love the vids man
My friends father, now deceased, (was at the battle of the bulge) and was on a troop ship headed for the invasion of Japan. In his heart, he knew he was going to die and then heard about the bomb and truly believed it had saved his life. He was at church and the pastor was talking about the unnecessary second bombing of Nagasaki and he stood up and said it was necessary because Japan had not surrendered and told us his story. My friend and I were playing war games and my friends father asked some questions and we showed him the history of the battle of the bulge, he pointed out his division the 9th and said so that is what happened. His perspective was he was overrun separated from his unit, ate tree bark, and froze to death.
His nose, hands, and feet gave him problems the rest of his life, poor circulation. I would like you to cover Korea since my wives Dad and my dad served in Korea. My wive’s dad came back and drank himself to death and died mid 30’s. My dad became a teacher, never really talked about Korea, except he would say, The army, I was a farmer from a small town and I got to see a little of the world. He has two plaques in the town he grew up for his service. My dad requested a military funeral and his gravestone to show his time of service. My uncle served in Ww2 and was blown up in France.
Simply one of the best channels on CZcams.
Hi Luka! First time commenting, but I love your history reaction videos. And you're right, the US and the UK have had each other's backs a lot, especially over the last century. We (US) learn a lot about UK history. America really does see the UK as our "mother" in a lot of ways. (LOL, except for that whole War of 1812 thing. If there is a video on that, you should check it out. 🤣)
My great grandfather was a scientist working on the a bomb in Washington state which is were the project was. He was not allowed to tell my grandmother what he was doing, but the day the bomb went off she confronted him and asked “if this is what he was working on” he said yes. He was proud of the achievement but devastated at the destruction. It’s controversial, but the science was amazing for the time. Please don’t attack my very nice grandfather as a murderer etc. I know it’s conteoversial. He was working on the science. He did not make the decision to drop the bombs nor conflate him with a nazi scientist experimenting and torturing humans. He was an engineering graduate who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
The narrator missed a very important point about the Pearl Harbor invasion. The carriers were at sea at the time. If they were in Port, they would have been destroyed and the US Pacific Fleet would have been neutered completely because they would not have had the time to rebuild it, especially the carriers which were the most important.
There are some movies that you could watch. One an old black and white film "The Longest Day" about D-Day. Tora! Tora! Tora! about the attack on Pearl Harbor. One of the best is "Band of Brothers". The 1980s brought us a story of a fictional US Naval family caught up in history. "The Winds of War" (here on youtube) and the follow-up "War and Remembrance". All of them full of historical facts. Band of Brothers, the story of a US Airborne Company, is amazing. Also, "A Bridge Too Far".
Love the vids keep it up
The United States and The United Kingdom have a special relationship. We aren’t the same country but we are so close as countries as we always walk in step with the other. I love my British and French brothers and sisters!
I was just thinking about hetalia the whole time which is an anime about all the history of the world it's so entertaining and taught me a lot lol
The best part about the Nuts! joke is that is wasn't a joke. The Americans really did send Nuts! as their official reply
Back in school years ago I described the bombs in a report as a necessary evil
Nice. Best thing to watch at work.
Switzerland is an interesting case in how they stayed out of the war. The have a tradition of neutrality, but are also basically a heavily armed mountain fortress. During WW1 the German ambassador asked the Swiss ambassador, "you entire nation is only made up of 1 million people. What would you do if we marched 2 million troops in and occupied you?" The Swiss ambassador replied "We would all walk outside, shoot twice, then go home."
I think swiss history is funny cuz Switzerland had war with in the 16 hundreds I guess and got fucked so hard that they decided to never go to war ever again. And yet they still didn't had war from that point
The more you learn about the world, the more you will learn about yourself young man. Pleasure seeing your passion. My Family are Holocaust survivors.. This war was human hell for all.. Watching you learn about history is hope for all generations.
Noticed you thought the Australians holding out like that was nuts, well people love to forget the Aussies in WW2 they fought in some of the worst conditions with many men not even knowing the war was over for years after it ended due to them being on remote islands in Asia.
The Cold War is so much more complex and nuanced than other wars in my opinion. There was literally dozens (maybe even hundreds depending on how specific you want to be?) of smaller-scale conflicts all around the world that resulted from it, all of which you could spend hours upon hours learning about and barely scratch the surface of. It's the most intriguing of all wars imo, and it wasn't even a "war" in the traditional sense of the word
Yes, Pykrete's a real thing. In 2014 it was partialally used to make the world's bigest ice home. The story of it and its inventor is amazing. The convoys were for the most part, successful. Hello, HMS Curacao, that story is amazing. Also on a lighter note, Germany managed to pick a fight between their navy and Luftwaffe. Two boats sank, and it got worse from there.
also, not mentioned but the battle of Castle Itr is an amazing story to, the only time American, French and German troops fought on the same side to repel the Waffen SS (who wanted to get into the castle) while the French/German/US troops were holding them off.
Bro literally pulled an eyelash out of my mouth right when you pulled a hair out of yours 😂😂
9:34 The soviet planes and tanks were being produced with American steel. We loaned them 17.5 billion dollars in steel.
One thing to note about how powerful the United States was when the war ended in 1945: modern estimates of the value of American assets compared to the rest of the world show that America held 50% of the ENTIRE WORLD'S WEALTH due to its control of the oceans (and therefore trade), debts owed by other Allied nations, and sheer industrial strength. Also, it helps that the rest of the industrialized world was devastated by war.
Luka you gotta react to the Braves Vs Dodgers game 3 NLCS. Pretty historic first postseason inning from the Dodgers!
Ugh, kill me..
It was calculated that an invasion of the Japanese mainland would result in at least 3 million casualties, many of them Japanese civilians. So the atomic bombs ,ironically, were the better of the two options.
There was a good documentary called "the complete history of the second World War" It really goes into detail about the war if you want to know more and it doesn't just focus on America
Also notice how Switzerland managed to stay completely out of it
12:32 can you imagine the bravery and fear?.. So overwhelming
It’s so strange and odd how and specifically why human beings do what they do to each other.
That said my grandfather was a soldier in WW2 and was in Normandy on DDay and the Battle of the Bulges.
He caught a few bullets at both I think and died at 80.
The odds of me existing is absolutely fascinating. I’m an American. If I stated anything wrong, blame our school systems and general lack of understanding of history.
Great reaction! Love the Channel!
You should check out overly sarcastic productions. They do videos on history, literature, mythology, and other things and they make it really interesting
America and Macarthur's occupation of Japan is a super interesting read(Or watch if there's a good video). He basically administered the country for awhile and while he himself was critical of the occupation he honestly did the best he could and the efforts of the Japanese people and American propaganda to give Japanese woman equal rights under a new constitution was an enormous influence in making Japan the constitutional democracy it is today.
While there were issues with the occupation(starvation, lawlessness, cultural resentment against Japanese soldiers, cultural colonialism by America and American military base construction), in general it went A LOT better then most modern occupations(especially American occupations).
Macarthur was awarded the highest military award that could be received by the Japanese military in 1960 which shocked him as he felt the full occupation was unnecessary.
I wonder how the Japanese people feel about Macarthur historically today.
June 6,1944 arguably goes down as one of the biggest days in human history. It was the beginning of the end of Germany's horrific grip on mainland Europe. A close second for importance in the 20th Century would be finding a peaceful end to the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
The only way I would watch these videos is if I had someone to watch it with like this so thanks lol I’m learning
Tenth, great content man, keep doing good 👌
I highly recommend The Fallen of WWII. If you ever get a chance, watch Band of Brothers and The Pacific; both show the brutality of the war. The Pacific theater may have not seen the total number of death the Eastern Front saw but the island hopping campaign was absolutely brutal. The Japanese didn't surrender and many times fought to the last man. Sometimes the fighting was so close hand to hand combat broke out.
3:57 it’s not that complicated; we’re family, families fight. But family doesn’t let anyone else mess with family. Then they’re dead. The end.
kinda fun fact: the people in hiroshima didnt sound any alarms when the bomb was gonna hit because there was only 1 plane
Actually when it came to the allied invasion of mainland Europe, both churchill and Roosevelt wanted to invade through the south through Italy and the Balkans. However, Stalin said no because he wanted all the countries on the eastern front to create the iron curtain(communist buffer zone). Churchill and Roosevelt were forced to agree because Stalin wouldn't have cooperated in the war effort if they didn't give him the eastern countries.
the first deaths of dday werent even on the beaches, but instead iirc a pilot
You should react to the History of every NFL stadium. NFL Throwback just released it about 30 minutes ago.
@Ashton Todarello they’re
Geography Now is another great channel. Everybody up vote if you agree and want Luka to react to those vids sometime.
Have you ever seen the movie "Saving Private Ryan?" Supposedly, the depiction of the Normandy invasion at Omaha Beach is one of the most accurate depictions on film.
The pycrete incident is true including the shooting accident and future plans to make a maga-aircraft carrier. One thing he didn't go over is that it was used decades later to make pies in Britain, and only fell out of favor when Gordon Ramsey said, "I am gobsmacked that you allow this shit to be served."
On a more serious note, it's important to remember that the firebombings of Tokyo in aggregate killed more than either of the atomic bombs. The US would have done the same thing with conventional bombs. It would have just taken longer to prepare for an invasion.
Learned more from this than in school, and I am 51!
You should react to Overly sarcastic productions, they have great historical vids and also mythology and literature
Many Americans view the UK like a relative they don't always agree with. Sort of like how siblings fight. One sibling might fight with another, but if the neighborhood bully screws with one of them, you can bet that both siblings are gonna beat that bully senseless.
and Switzerland just be chilling the entire time
As an American commenting on your thoughts about us being enemies then allies and back and forth... We have always viewed England as the mother country. Even during the Revolution, the founding fathers always hoped for a peaceful resolution because we had family and friends across the pond after all.
The Australian defense of Tobruk was a display of exceptional grit and determination.
And, if you want a relatively easy-to-read book from a far underrated British general, check out William Slim’s Defeat Into Victory about the India/Burma campaign, where British and Gurkha forces teamed up with US and Republic of China forces to fight the Japanese. It’s a bit racist, where he calls Japanese people some rather derogatory names, but a good book, besides that.
I would be scared if I was in the army back then
The way I view the ethics of dropping the atomic bombs is like this. We wouldn't have been doing any favors to Japan by not nuking them and just continuing our policy of burning several of their cities off the map a week through conventional fire bombing.The nuking of Japan at the end of World War 2 wasnt the real ethical dilemma at that time. It was a natural progression of the brutal tactics employed by all sides during that war. The real ethical dilemma is figuring out how we got to a point where everyone on all sides decided that indiscriminately bombing cities with lots of civilians in them was an ok thing to do.
It honestly blows my mind that they don't teach this in y'all's school system
Not only did the ricochet from picreate hit one of the people in attendance he responded by shooting the demonstrator.
Moving into the Cold War, I highly recommend Extra Credits' vids on the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's the closest humanity came to being evaporated.
The Bob Emergency would be a nice reaction for something sports related, with a little history thrown in. It's a big one, though.
Also, consider some videos from Kurzgesagt.
