      More so the difference of perception in an offensive vs defensive war. In the mind of the US they were attacked and winning the war was a matter of "survival." Ergo if I'm loosing I need to give more
      The Japanese on the other hand were fighting what was essentially a colonial war therefore any losses would run with the headline _Whole thing was a bad idea.._

      You don't say that, you lie to them. Make it seem like what they done was important and vital to the war effort. That they died bravely and did not suffer and were amongst comrades in arms. You say the same you say for every war, despite the details.
      That seems a lot more politically contentious than I mean it to be but it ain't aimed at the US in particular. That's more-or-less universal. Like, a 'police action' is a police action until enough of your boys die, then it becomes a war.

    • @MrCoolguy425
      @MrCoolguy425 Před rokem +2

      I think the big part of it was that the Aleutian’s were considered a part of North America. And it was sold that way to the US public. There were fears that the Japanese could hop along the Aleutian’s, take relatively undefended Anchorage and Seward (fun fact the US actually built bunkers in some of the cliffs surrounding each city) and then launch attacks easily to Seattle and further inland.
      Of course the Japanese never had a rhyme or reason to do such a thing, but yet that wasn’t 100% certain at the time.

      When really diving deep into WWII I find that some of the most pivotal lessons or moments are ones that I've never heard of previously. Tarawa is both horrific and fascinating. Like the battle of the Coral Sea I'm not sure why it gets glossed over. It had a big impact on tactics and equipment that would be needed to move forward. The road to success wasn't very clear cut and I think people just like watching the highlight reel without seeing the hard work that got them there.

    I imagine the conversation about attack plans went something like this:
    "I really don't know what to choose they both seem like decent options"
    "How about both?"
    "That's ridiculous there's no way we have that kind of supply!"
    "Well we do have about 50 ships scheduled to be released this month"
    "That does actually seem like enough so both it is"

    You should do a four part series on the eastern front 1942 in the style as your barrbarrossa one. the first video talking about the plans, Kharkov and the advance. Pt 2 on Stalingrad pt 3 on operation Uranus and the Caucasus withdrawal and pt 4 summarising the whole thing

    I haven't seen any one else say it in the comments yet, so I will say it. Alaska and Hawaii were Incorporated territories of the United States, Guam wasn't and still isn't. In a legal sense that means Guam can't become a State while Alaska and Hawaii were already on the path to Statehood. Same goes for all the other unincorporated territories America had in the Pacific, including the Philippines.

    Hey, are you going to talk about the airbase on Tinnian island? Because in my opinion, it really helped the American bombing campaign and with the 509. Composite Group stationed there, its role in the war was really important.
