True that.
Exactly!
Why so long?
Bro make your vid shorter
@@braden8t8 😁... In this case a marathon movie.

Also me” it is so amazing!!
amazing work u guys!
The sound of the narrator’s voice is so consistent in each video that it feels like I’ve seen this one already.
Kudos to the guy who asked them to reconsider Kyoto as a target due to its historical and cultural significance
Yup! Made sure we kept Nintendo around 😅 It's a shame it all went down at all. WW2 was just horrible all around
It would be a sadder world, never mind a sadder Japan without Kyoto.
nothing about any country is WORLD important. whats important to americans doesnt matter to any other nation.
thats just it. cultural places are only significant to the country that created it. other nations cultural places literally does nothing for people not in japan. @@claudeclawsonne4510

Thank you! 🎉❤❤❤
Excellent presentation!! 😊You have outdone yourself. Thank you for your diligent details without being graphic or using cheap disturbing visuals. As someone who is very familiar with the events of WWII and the events leading up to the ending of the war in Europe and the Pacific, 😢Thank you.

I wonder how many writers and video editors they have on staff? They put out long videos on a daily basis that are tightly edited. It’s very impressive. Seems like the only person more prolific is Simon Whistler and all his channels. He has a staff of writers.
100% justified. People who argue otherwise are ignorant. That is ok. That is the point of education.
A few hundred thousand dead versus millions. It is just that simple.
I do feel the could have demonstrated the bomb by dropping it within sight of Tokyo and simply saying "we have built many of these weapons. We can destroy every city in Japan if we choose. It is time to recognize it is over & surrender. You have one week. After that, at a time of our choosing, we will begin destroying military facilities in Japan, and sadly the cities near them as the bombs are too powerful to be selective. It is the function of a great leader to protect his people. It is your choice. One week."
Best video is wrong historically and scientifically on a multitude of different counts. I regard would regard this as entertainment and not as a scientific documentary based on historically accurate fact telling.
Fair play amazing video well done
FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY,😁👍😊
Thanks!
If only I found you guys while i was still in school, would’ve aced history class
I aced it for us, buddy. All A+ from middle school to the end of high-school. I did it for you and everyone who was failed by our education system.
When I was in school there was no Internet, and w the school had one computer for nearly 700 kids, it was a 32k BBC microcomputer, oh and it was monochrome.
No, you wouldn’t have

Fun fact. Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person ever to have survived two nuclear blasts…
True they did a video on that lol
What a bittersweet blessing
I also survived both..
I saw that one too. How horrific. It’s unfortunate we had to drop those bombs but it ended up saving tens of thousands of American soldiers lives. The Japanese weren’t going to surrender. There was a plan for an invasion of Japan that would have used approx 100,000 soldiers in a D-Day type of invasion. Many of us might not be here if our grandfathers were a part of that meat grinder. It was a brutal calculus to use the bombs but we had to do it.
First and the last, atleast for now 💀
You guys have outdone yourselves with this one! Excellent work guys! 🙌🏻👍🏻
My father served in the pacific theater and was a soldier of the occupation once Japan surrendered. My great uncle survived the Bataan death march. My wifes family were victims of japans occupation of Manchuria.
Sympathy and regret arent things i nor my wife's family feel for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
That's something to work out in therapy.
@@hattielankford4775 no thanks.

@@doug814 ❤️
@@doug814I can’t blame them. Japan did a lot of terrible things. It’s up to you to decide how to heal. But let’s face it I feel sorry. That Japan didn’t teach their students what unit 731 and Nanking is
I appreciate the video matching the same runtime as the Oppenheimer movie
After seeing the length of the video, I actually thought you were going to livestream the full Openheimer movie. 😂😂
Good timing
Ok falling asleep to this as we speak!
I have 3 words for anyone who condemns our use of nuclear weapons in WW2. Bataan Death March. The Japanese committed unspeakable atrocities against our soldiers. They more than had it coming
the innocent civilians commited atrocities against soldiers? the 20,000 children who died from incineration, burning to death, or excruciating radiation poisoning? what about Motokawa primary school, located only 1600 feet away from ground zero, where all One Hundred and Ninety-Two (192) children, all of whom were under the age of Thirteen (13) years old, were killed?
@@heyheyjj What about Nanking? or camp 731, don't pretend that Japan was not committing atrocities wherever they went..to civilians, women and children.
So instead of watching Oppenheimer for 3 hours, I’ll watch this instead😊
this was better

What justified the USA dropping the A-bombs occurred on December 7, 1941. Without that there would never have been a single A-bomb dropped on Japan. On that day the entire United States, government, citizens, and military went on a full war footing with one goal in mind, to win the war. If Japan had such a weapon and a manner to use it does anyone doubt that they would have? Glad both nations are now friends, and that part of history will never be repeated between both countries.
I grew up in the 1960's and 70' and it was common for people when the subject of the war in the Pacific with Japan for two subjects to come up. One was Pearl Harbor as the start of the war and Hiroshima and Nagasaki the end. Keep in mind that on December 7th 100% of all those killed from the surprise attack were innocent as the USA was not at war and no declaration came first from Japan.
2,403 U.S. personnel were killed. That means they were military. We are always subject to warfare be it a sneak attack from some enemy we’re not in an ‘active war’ with or on the offense. We know this when we sign up. You just never expect it to happen. 68 civilians were killed. They were the innocents.
the US was supplying the war against Japan. Also Pearl Harbor was a military target. we incinerated little kids. today it would be considered a war crime.
Facts
"Strategic Interrogation," AKA Torture. LOL
I think at the time it was justified. Times are different now so rather than arguing whether or not it is now, we should focus on using it as a cautionary tale on why we should avoid doing so again on civilian populations.
Hindsight is 20/20. The world is allot different than it was 80 years ago, and at the time we were in the middle of a devastating world war that just about everyone was desperate to end.
How about cautionary note to not have to use it again. Even if we used nuclear weapons on a military or industrial target unless that target is isolated, you will still have high civilian casualties. Fun fact fire bombing was more deadly and effective than the atomic bombs were. Look up bombing of Tokyo
I was justified because we had it and they didn't. Because better them than us.
@@TetFeMal This Comment Gave me Cancer
I think it's important to note that the decision included other world leaders including the Chinese. If you feel like dropping the bomb was cruel and unusual punishment on the people of Japan please go back and look at what Japan did to Chinese civilians: the torture, the unspeakable things that they did, that alone should have been reason for the bomb to be dropped. The Japanese were ruthless
not as ruthless as incinerating children and causing generations of elevated cancer rates
I'm not sure if we should use war crimes to justify further war crimes...
@@purrsuasively the Japanese committed atrocities that shocked even the Germans. Don't forget that they were the ones that started this war. They also were determined to fight to the death. Look at Hiroshima, even after the devastation of that they still refused to surrender which is why we had to drop a bomb on Nagasaki.
As far as future war crimes, luckily we haven't had to use this again.
@@leslievaldez8165 we literally could have dropped it on a military target first, but civilians were chosen.
@@leslievaldez8165 I'm going to assume you're American. Japan at that point in the war couldn't do anything, the entire island was under blockade. We controlled the sea and the sky. We could have demonstrated the weapon first. Instead sites were chosen that were specifically dual use, meaning a military target that was surrounded by civilian population. The US chose to incinerate at least 115,000 men, women and children. The explosion so blinding that the shadows of those civilians were burned into concrete.
fire bombing of Tokyo was just if not more devastating......
You should have released this on Theatres instead 💀
Ask any person who suffered or lost someone at Pearl Harbor.... they threw the 1st punch and showed no signs of stopping... hence " F " around and find out !!
Wow intense opening.
an Atomic masterclass. worth the view.

Why watch Oppenheimer when you can watch this masterpiece for free at home!
If Japan had such a weapon and a manner to use it does anyone doubt that they would have?
Well, for some unclear reason, some people want to rule the world. I really don't understand why considering all the "disadvantages."
but they didn't have such a weapon, the US did, and it used it on civilians. Dozens of countries have been at war since and have had nuclear weapons, and only one is responsible for using such a weapon in war.
what does discussing "what if's" do for us, exactly?
@@JohnnyVee007 nothing, but it's how Americans justify still being allowed by the rest of the world to exist as a country
Actually they had a super weapon that was in development but delayed when the Pearl Harbor mastermind was killed. It was super subs meant to launch planes carrying bio weapons to attack the west coast
The Germans helped with the finishing of the Atom bomb. they had more of the fissionable Uranium 235 than the U.S. did, seen as they had access to a mine in Czechoslovakia that had Uranium.
This video is almost as long as the movie, no spoilers though
Can you do a Story on

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to ask if they should"

It took years to produce the amount of uranium needed for those 2 bombs, so I'm sure the decision was made to make the most impact to cause surrender. All of this "if only..." conjecture; there were only 2 bombs, and if there were a test done to try to scare Japan and it didn't work, there would only be 1 bomb and it would take another few years to be able to make another one before they figured out how to refine uranium faster.
categorically untrue. only the hiroshima bomb used uranium. the more powerful nagasaki bomb and planned future bombs used plutonium cores. the hiroshima and nagasaki bombins happened on august 6 and 9. on August 10 a third plutonium core at Los Alamos was being loaded to be flown to Tinian Island just like the Fat Man core had been when an order came from Truman that all shipments were to cease and that any further shipments required a Presidential order.
on Tinian there were sets of components for dozens more bombs, as the bomb kits had just entered mass production and were only awaiting more plutonium cores to be assembled into bombs.
additional plutonium for a fourth bomb would have been ready before the end of the month with production rates increasing every month into the next year.
By the end of the war, scientists found a way to make plutonium in purpose-built reactors at Hanford WA. It was a much easier process than that used to procure uranium 235, which invoves calutrons (basically a sector mass spectrometer). They had hundreds linked up at Oak Ridge, but even so, the process was painfully-slow . They already had a third plutonium core ready at the time Fat man was used (see: the Demon Core), but of course it woud take time to assemble.
Look at it right here.
You forgot to include information regarding the LeMay leaflets that were dropped on Hiroshima prior to the bombing. They were made aware, at the very least.
My grandpa landed in Pearl Harbor the day after the bombing, what he saw was so bad he never talked about it for the rest of his life. One year my sister gave him a memorial book on Pearl Harbor he thanked her for the gift heavily and gave her back the book without opening it. Not wanting to relive the fact he saw many of his friends dead that day.
Hey ❤
Wow
We haven't had enough war stuff lately, any plans to change that? 😂
Half the people reading this would throw up if they saw a persons head come off. Imagine 40,000 men, women and children instantaneously, completely disintegrated, along with every structure there. Then again, three days later. What we did to make Japan surrender is beyond comprehension, with Iwo Jima, Omaha & Stalingrad all happening within the same time period. So many lives atomized because of this war. We could have all just stayed home, but unfortunately that’s not how it happens

Hi ❤
My ex was born and raised in NM and currently works at LANL (Los Alamos National Labs). I would always make fun of NM for nuclear weapons and aliens, insisting that's what the state was known for, not Green Chile.
I went to college in NM and the University I attended was in a small rural town that had a piece of the trinity bomb as a statue.
I also once made what I think was a pretty hilarious joke. I don't know how we got on this topic but my family was talking about weird sports team names. I mentioned the Isotopes (minor league baseball team, who recently had announced they were going by the name green chile cheeseburgers for a time). My dad was like "they used to be the Dukes" (because Albuquerque is the Duke City, for being named after a Duke) and I quietly responded "At least they weren't the Nukes". Nobody heard or at least nobody acknowledged the joke
Pretty sure japans target was not the aircraft carriers. At the time no one was sure how important they would be
What about the documentaries that detailed the opposing camps of military leaders in Japan that disagreed over the issue of surrender, and how some of the officers killed themselves rather than be a party to agreeing to surrender
Me practicing to watch Oppenheimer

This aint a vid. It's a whole document
Excellent video, bit long - but enjoyable.
You forgot to mention in deciding where to drop the bombs, they only had 2, so they had to count.
If they didn't surrender after 2 there's a chance they never would.
The one critical fact that Infographics seems to ignore about its questionable and very shaky arguments on it being completely unnecessary in dropping the A-bomb on a populous city is the fact that Japan failed to surrender EVEN WHEN the U.S. dropped the first A-bomb on a populous city (i.e., Hirosima). It actually took another A-bomb being dropped on another populous city (i.e., Nagasaki) for Japan to finally surrender. Therefore, a very public demonstration of the A-bomb on a non-populous target for Japan to witness would definitely not have worked in forcing them to surrender. It should be mentioned that Japan also failed to surrender when the Soviets already declared war on Japan and had already overtaken Manchuria. Clearly, it would have taken months to years before Japan surrendered because a full-scale invasion of the Japanese island would have been necessary which would have cost tons of causualties to the U.S. and the Soviets. The A-bomb did it's job in swiftly ending the war without any addtional Allied causualties from the unnecessary protraction of the conflict.
@@rodneyboehner3007 yes, according to the book, The General and The Genius (by :James Kunetka), American military intelligence (with the benefit of engaging Japanese military and their supporting occupational communities for years in the Pacific theater) estimated a protracted occupation of the Japanese islands of several years, with more than a million more Allied causalities, and guerrilla-type fighting in Japan neighborhood by neighborhood.
Love how this animated and somewhat interactive movie about the manhattan project is longer than the movie Oppenheimer
Are their writers on strike or something? Most of the recent content has been compilations of old videos
In war there are no rules. Survival demands it.
I'm on the justified side. Im going to ignore my bias due to my background of being from a country who were victims of Japanese war atrocities. My great great grandfather was beheaded by the Japanese. My argument would be solely based on the facts given in this video.
The demonstration of the nuclear bomb would've been a more credible theory had the Japanese immediately declared their surrender but they didn't. It took a second, much larger bomb with even more casualties to finally get an unconditional surrender. And thats the key phrase. Unconditional surrender. To argue for not justified use, you have to prove the Japanese were ready to submit to an unconditional surrender before the bombs were dropped. Its difficult because they had a 3 day gap to declare before the second one was dropped as well as the fact their civilians were willing to die to defend their homeland.
Therefore, fighting into a country where their government is counting on their own people and civilians to threaten your soldiers' lives would've required a SIGNIFICANT show of force that reaps as much damage as possible to obtain that unconditional surrender.
Real life proved even after one A-bombs, Japan didn’t want to surrender. A demonstration would have achieved nothing, the logic of the locations is beyond me though.
The timing of this video 😭
Master piece
And saved 10 million lives from a land invasion on both sides.
I hate when people stretch their videos out to hit that 10 minute mark
Imagine if all those german scientists didn’t defect 😮
THIS SHOULD BE ON LETTERBOXD
Those casualty numbers are grossly exagerrated. The highest casualty estimate of BOTH cities is ~250K
It’s unthinkable to have a war winning weapon and not use it.

“Americans today take for granted the benefits of hindsight and a superior morality that was developed by the very people they judge in history today.” -me
Nuclear weapons have saved infinitely more humans than were killed in both world wars combined. Thank god for the “destroyer of worlds”.
What happened to the original content about the alien invasion
Easy to criticize when you didn't live during the time period. Hindsight is always 20/20. The reason why war is bad is because there will be horrible but necessary decisions like this. Which is why Japan shouldn't have played so lightly with starting a war. This is always why all nations shouldn't just take going to war so frivolously
Why wasn’t this included in this excellent review of this controversial military action.
Kinda a glib explanation
They did a great job of explaining it in Pripyat
And still the movie is longer than this video
