-History:
Hero Of The Sea or 海の勇者 in Japanese, is a Imperial Japanese navy song from 1939. It's about Japanese sailors performing their duty in the navy. As stated in the video, the Japanese were already fighting the Chinese 2 years before germany invaded Poland. most people see the German invasion of Poland as the start of WW2, wich is understandable, but some people argue that WW2 started when japan invaded china in 1937. Things like this are allways hard to decide on. You could say that in 1937, only Japan was at war with china and so it was not a conflict involving enough parties across the world to really lable it as a "world war", but then you could also say that the German invasion isnt the start of ww2 since allthough it did cause Europe to fall into chaos, large nations and areas like the USSR and bascially all of the Americas still weren't directly involved in any conflict. Where would you put the start of ww2? 1937? 1939? 1941?
