If Give 'em Hell Harry didn't drop the bomb a million American soldiers would've lost their lives fighting the Japanese, they were ruthless in their Pacific campaign. The death march across the Phillipines and pacific Island killed tens of thousands. War is hell, Hoover and Roosevelt couldn't get it right, it took a meek common sense type of guy, War is hell. Thank you Harry for making their gd minds up, you stop the slaughter if possibly hundreds of thousand American lives.
I was born in Nagasaki, an atomic bombed city, and learned the terror of the atomic bomb from an early age. Thank you for taking up Hiroshima and leaving it in the video. However, when reading the comments section, it is a pity that too many people say, "The atomic bomb was dropped to end the war." The past cannot be changed. What we, who live in the 21st century, should do is learn and convey the terror of the atomic bomb. The terror of the atomic bomb must have been well understood from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This world does not need nuclear bombs.
Estimated 60M deaths from WW2 is what prompted the people to drop the bombs because they thought much more would die if not. As tragic as this was, and I hope another one is ever used again, I can see how they thought it was the right thing at the time. It was no easy decision I am sure for anyone to make knowing what would happen. I agree the world does not need these weapons, and I hope some deranged leader never decides to use them ever again.
The bombing of pearl Harbor happened before the nuclear bombs dropped on harishama and Nagasagi. That's what thrown America into the war in the first place when america wasn't trying to be involved in it whatsoever, actions have consequences
I was stationed near there after Vietnam and spent a lot of time there. It’s a beautiful city and I was amazed at how much the people love Americans. When I went to a bar I never had to buy a drink unless it was my choice. They loved talking to Americans. They’re beautiful people…. I love the area and the citizens. Myajima was fabulous too.
Horrifying event but definitely important to learn about. Thank you for sharing your conversation with Mito - super interesting to hear his perspective!!
I think it's been a defining weaponry-use that has put actual fear into humanity as a whole. I highly doubt the cold war would have remained so after WWII if the atomic bombs hadn't been put to use one way or the other at the end of WWII... There's a difference between knowing the theoretical effects, and then ACTUALLY seeing the effects and aftermath. Add on top of that the very scary levels of development to such weapons so it's no longer 'mere' kiloton weaponry, but into the megaton range.
@@fanalysis6734oreans probably didn’t care that much. North Korea hates Japan but I believe this is before Korea separated. Japanese on the other hand? I wonder how the actual victim country felt/feels
An emotional and powerful experience. Yep, you have that right. Have visited twice, on both occasions, in the grounds people are talking and acting normally, as they enter the museum and you come face to face with the reality of what happened, the place is almost silent.

I’m very thankful to Americans soldiers because they sacrificed they’re life to save my country Philippines 🇵🇭, because of them they free city of manila to the Japanese soldiers 😇😇😇😇
It's not being foolish but Americans do in fact save us from horrifying cruelty from Japan. Americans thought us education, modernization, politics but Japan invasion for 3years was like long forever hell of slavery and tortured not just Philippines but all those countries they envaded labeled now terrible history from Japan. We are not saying bombing was a good faith for them , but they never plan of stopping the war and conquering Asia if bombing never happen. We sympathise for the lives of thier innocent civilians who paid for their generals /leaders actions towards war, actually all the lives who were victims of these unreasonable war. I would never imagine if Japanese or German government would 1st discover atomic bomb, world would be like a living hell.
I would love to hear your response. You are white, have no idea what the people in the Philippines have went through, you’re not one of them. But you do have a citizen here sticking up for their own country (not the one you are from) and you have the nerve to call his comment foolish. It’s amazing You have nothing to say after you are hit with facts. The Japanese people committed atrocities across countries. They committed war crimes such as raping and cannibalism, etc.. Their mission was to dominate the whole world and imposed their ideologies. Had Japan got what they wanted you would not be able to discuss your foolish opinions on TH-cam right now, possibly your race wouldn’t even be here today. And giving Japan the victim card is absolutely absurd, when you bring another country into war bombing their homeland, and that country retaliates with bombing how is America under scrutiny for this and people just forget what caused this.
very important to have memorials to know the effect the bomb caused, hopefully no actomic bomb is dropped ever again so that people never have to experience such a thing.
I am sorry but having both Chinese and Korean relatives this infuriates me. Why should the US apologize? Has Japan apologized to what it did in China, Korea, Unit 731? No, so why should the Americans. They dropped those bombs to end a war, to stop a country that was perpetrating atrocities. And a country that still to this day has a shrine to countless war criminals. Imagine if Germany had a memorial to Hitler. I love modern Japan, been there many times, but to say the U.S. should apologize is trivializing history and spitting in the face of the millions Japan slaughtered.
Mr. Kosei needs to realize the atrocities that the Japanese soldiers had done during the war. I'm from the Philippines and my grandparents has shared some harrowing stories that occured during the invasion of Japanese Empire in my country. As the history told, some other Asian countries suffered from these inhumane treatment of their soldiers.They never apologize for what they did...until now! As Truman said, "more lives will be lost if Japan did not surrender" PEACE✌️✌️✌️
Americans have done far worse than anyone on this planet, so should someone do to them what they did to the civilians in Japan? I mean if they dont, far more lives will be lost WORLDWIDE.
@@isabelreyes6387 I would love proof that this is rubbish. Clearly, you are not American and clearly your facts are wrong. America, who had no ties to the war was bombed on their homeland killing thousands of innocence. The Japanese continue to press killing thousands and thousands by the day, with world domination in their minds. America responded by bombing Japan twice and ending the war. Please enlighten us on what rubbish is.
it's heartbreaking to see what a government would put its people through. it's heartbreaking to see what a government is willing to do for a war. but regardless of a blockade, a nuclear warhead, firebombing, an invasion.. it doesn't matter.. the end result of war is death. war is hell rest in peace to the souls who had absolutely no part in any of it. to those who knew and exacerbated.. i pray for you
What ive taken notice to, is the GREAT deal of forgivness the Japanese have displayed, as in our country the people that endure oppression from a diverse people wont forgive and carry hate from one generation to another, and the Japanese truley have a right to feel anyway they choose, I say May GOD bless you 10x, for your strength and compassion, You definitely make the world a better place, and now we are allies, And i believe the U.S. would stand to never let Japan endure any conflict alone, we owe it to you. GOD BLESS. 🇯🇵🇺🇲
😂 this is just foolish, honestly, you are foolish do some research. We do not owe the Japanese anything. The Japanese brought us into a war bombing Pearl Harbor killing thousands of innocent men, women and children. The Japanese ideas were world domination, that means you would not be here today if had they succeeded. Does Japan not owe America? Why is it just America owes Japan? America was protecting its people and the people of the world. Japan found out that there are more powerful powers in this world than just them. They were bombed just as they had bomb Pearl Harbor. Why do we owe them anything? Not to mention the countless war, crimes of rape and cannibalism, etc. Please do research. It’s a shame that people like you can vote.
Too bad there wasn’t another way of showing the devastating power the Americans had in their hands. Dropping them on civilians was the most harshest form of display. I hope the world doesn’t ever forget this extreme tragedy or it will repeat itself.
I see alot of people sympathizing with the japanese and saying that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrible crimes against humanity. I should remind you that very few people in Central Asia (More specifically China and Korea) cried when the two cities were nuked and for good reason.
@@grandcanyon-d4d Effectively, yes. Japan is a shame driven society and is thus very collectivist throughout history. which means the people of Hiroshima were indirectly supporting Unit 731 and Nanjing by proxy due to their undying loyalty to the state.
@@jeremychicken3339 so women and children sitting at home were also to blame in what the military did? Should we blame the american people for what the goverment and military did in Iraq?
@@grandcanyon-d4d Not the American people, because due to the fact that the US is a more Guilt driven society, the people are less like a hive and more independent.
The Japanese were every bit as brutal to their prisoners during the war as the Nazi's were to the Jews. Next time you jump on a plane take yourself to Kanchanaburi visit The War Cemetery or maybe Burma and 'The Death Railway.' I'm not saying two wrongs make a right but there is a good argument to be made for the Americans bringing an early end to the war and saving many more lives than were lost in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fact is, estimates of Japanese (and American) deaths in an invasion of Japan would've been in the millions. Horrible as it was, the atom bombs actually saved lives because the Japanese - who a lot of people are saying here "were going to surrender", REFUSED even after the first drop.
I love how this video skips over the atrocities committed by the Japanese government in the Pacific. Crimes that people in the Government were never tried over. Plus Japan started the war in the Pacific.
Japan was brutal to soldiers and civilian during ww2. Jst ask the locals in Philippines, China, Solomon Islands l, Papua New Guinea, etc. They showed no mercy. Yes it's inhuman what Japanese faced post-atomic bombs but we must be reminded they thought they were intouchable prior.
So Glad the bombs ended the war and saved lives , a lot of lives . Sorry so many innocents were killed , but war is Hell , looking back it is easy to say what you want , so what is the answer? JESUS is the Answer
Oh hun, they were more psychopath than the Nazis. more sadist, hard to describe by any word human can say. my grandma told me her stories, with tears and pain she has to live everyday in her life till today.
Here we have a video playing Japan as a victim, ignoring all the atrocities that they committed during their attempt at world domination. It included bombing, murdering, cannibalism etc. It is a shame that this only shows a one side to give people a false narrative that the Japanese people were really the victim. Japanese people as a country decided to go to war and their mindset was to fight until the last Japanese was alive. Though this shows America part in the war, keep in mind all the countries Japan had invaded and killed innocence. Japan brought America into the war by bombing innocence civilians on Pearl Harbor, along with destroying much of our Navy another tactic of world domination. I’m not saying, either side deserves no fault, but this does not accurately portray what the cause of the bombing was, more so this puts Japan as a victim, as if they were doing nothing, which is false, fake, and untrue. Do your research. And it almost seems slightly odd that we have a white guy (not from us) making this video from Japan portraying the U.S. as the aggressor which is surely not the case. Japan started America finished. Be happy we all not speaking Japanese, and that their plans for world domination fell through.
Should be stated why this happened. Should also be stated that the U.S warned the city before the bombing, which is more than the Japanese did when they bombed Pear Harbor.
As an American I like how the people of Hiroshima do not blame or hate us citizens, and realize it was our government responsible for this. I'd love to go there one day. I'll apologize for what happened. Even if our government won't.
@@soapbullet-tq8zf don't get me wrong, I'm happy about the amount of mutually assured destruction we have. But the amount of innocent people who died was unreal.
That War should have been the end of all wars. We were all in the wrong in the end, nobody won, everyone only lost. In every war there is nothing but loss and waste. Why we as a people on this planet allow the people we do to lead us. We the people of the world vastly outnumber those in control, several million to 1. So we should not be allowing these horrible people to lead us and govern us, we need better in place and it's far overdue to replace the shitty leadership around the world. There is some good, but a lot of them need to be replaced with better people.
It saved the lives of thousands of American and Japanese soldiers who would have died in fighting if the war continued on. The government cared so little about civilians that they did not stop the war until after Nagasaki.
No side is to blame , that’s why we are close Allie’s today . Both sides know what they did & understand war . Japan was out for just as much blood and got what was coming but it ended the war and We are in a better place because of it now . The atomic bomb is scary but tbh is why we haven’t seen a WW3 . The auto bomb is what is keeping us safe tbh
@Nikolay Karlovich no they were not lmao. Japan was more violent than Germans. They fucked around by bombing pearl harbor and they sure did find out. Ps: I am south asian. Had nothing to do with the wars. Just unbiased perspective.
@Nikolay Karlovich was in Eu was larger scale so death toll was higher. Go read history. Read about Nanjing Massacre. Germans killed because of racism . Japan killed because they felt like killing and were 100 time more savage than germans. Not the same. Ask any historian and they will tell you which side were more violent.
@Nikolay Karlovich and your point is? US mostly nuked Japan because they dared to attack mainland US, German did not do that. Japan chewed more than they could swallow. As I said, Japan fucked around and they found out.
@Nikolay Karlovich I would like to see some credible source backing up your "about to surrender" claims. This is a good place to start. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate_over_the_atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki AFAIK it was estimated that not nuking japan would cost both side more death and waste of resource since Japan was not surrendering and their mental strength was far greater than Germany. We still see the perfectionist and loyal to the system type of mentality from Japanese to date.
so I'm supposed to feel bad that some kids died from the atomic blast? who was there from forced child labor in the name of the Emporer? seems pretty awful to me. i guess they should have surrendered when they were warned we were going to use it. maybe you should do a vid on the shrine honoring the Zamakazi pilots. just saying.
Что изменилось после этих событий? Не че го! Гонка вооружения сплошная.одни хотят доминировать над другими сея хаус в странах с безрозличием на страдания народов. Войны делают политики.а страдают народы.
I'm so sorry. Was not born but I don't believe in killing. My worst belief is in water balloon fights and lipsticking my enemies while they sleep. Death is never the answer.
Now folks are so desensitised to war they spout nuclear war rhetoric like It's completely normal. The crazy user's online and irl getting off on wars are a terminal cancer to our planet 😢 🌎
You japanese, were never apologize to us, most of South east asian countries, that japan were colonized, horribly. crueler than those puny nuclear bombin' u guys were experienced.
Compensation of $550 million to the Philippines, $39 million to Vietnam. Payment of £4.5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross as reparation for prisoners of war (POWs). Waiver of overseas assets worth $81 million.
Sorry but this whole video is not correct. Japan was killing 1000's of people every day. They were a violent and corrupt nation. There were very few "innocent" civilians. Japan as a people were sadistic, take a look into the real world of history. Yes the atomic bomb was horrendous, but it is so much more important to understand why the Allies were forced to take these steps to stop the war.
With that mentality you can justify any massacre against its civilians just saying.. Just because your people do it doesn’t make you innocent. The Us is paying now with what they’ve done to these people with moral decay.
@@JabbaJohnson you're being naive. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were highly militarized cities with military infrastructure surrounded by civilian infrastructure. There was no way of attack without civilians dying. Even after Hiroshima, Japan STILL didn't surrender. Atomic bombs saved more lives than they took away. point blank period.
Lol bro this is war we’re talking about. You expect a nation to not be violent? Are you saying this like America isn’t the most violent nation to date both inside and out.. such a weird comment… To include the civilians, the children, in the matter is kinda wild lol 😅😅 Japan was LOSING at the point when the bombs were dropped. The US wanted to flex their new weaponry. You preach to look into history, but clearly you know nothing of the Manhattan project, or Oppenheimer. Just stfu and stop regurgitating/parroting wherever you heard this nonsense from.
A real criminal act by the United States. They were civilians. Japanese killed 2400 in Pearl Harbor, Americans killed 200.000 in Japan. The American givernment still owe an apology to Japan.
I've seen people be 80-90 years old and looking like they are 60-70 years of age, so looking younger shouldn't be a disqualification so to say. Also if he was in utero on that day then he's most likely 78.
The arrogance of the U.S. is shown in the fact that most people in the U.S. still have the audacity to this day to excuse this atrocity. Only very few are not egocentric.
It's there just not dangerous anymore. Unless you think hundreds of thousands of Japanese people just decided to kill themselves to live there(which is a stupid assumption fyi).
He didn't invent the bomb, he only got the formula E=MC² which means that matter and energy are interchangeable. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. Quote from Forbes: "For hundreds of years, there was an immutable law of physics that was never challenged: that in any reaction occurring in the Universe, mass was conserved. That no matter what you put in, what reacted, and what came out, the sum of what you began with and the sum of what you ended with would be equal. But under the laws of special relativity, mass simply couldn't be the ultimate conserved quantity, since different observers would disagree about what the energy of a system was. Instead, Einstein was able to derive a law that we still use today, governed by one of the simplest but most powerful equations ever to be written down, E = mc2." With that in mind, if I take the value from atomicarchive which states Hiroshima bomb had 13 kilotons of TNT yield, when a single kilogram should have 21 megatons of TNT yield, it would mean that the effective mass responsible for the chaos is 0.000619047619 kg. Thats 0.619 grams. Almost the same weight as a microSD card. Mindblowing, but also terrifying.
America has always been cool fun and interesting. helped us people in Europe Pearl Harbor sure it was an Island but still this is the worst war crime in history I want to puke and get my katana which I buy one day and chop every president in history’s head off for what they did here in Japan and it’s my favorite country in the entire world America is third or fourth. And I know how to handle them professionally and speak Japanese. Because I have been practicing Aikido for 7 years and Japanese for 6 months but I will continue 2 years in college and after graduating work for Hollywood and Toho.
The atomic bombs saved millions of lives, both American and Japanese. Don't forget that the japanese acted like the nazis in murdering millions in labor camps and vowed to never surrender. Also more japanese civilians were killed by firebombing than there were from nukes. The beautiful japan we know today was preserved from complete annihilation by the shock of nuclear weapons which forced japan to surrender before it was wiped from existence
War is hell, but in all fairness. They sucker punched us. And we had no morale obligation to not do the same. The feeling was mutual. They would have definitely did the same thing if given the technology at the time. As an American. No hard feelings glad we learned peace is better than war. The only apology that I feel is needed is for those who had to endure until the Japanese came to their senses.
Fkd as this is the marshal plan would not have happened otherwise . And that led to the massive development of japan . Sucks they got nuked to do it though. And it was the end of imperial japan .

@@grandcanyon-d4d Effectively, yes. Japan is a shame driven society and is thus very collectivist throughout history. which means the people of Hiroshima were indirectly supporting Unit 731 and Nanjing by proxy due to their undying loyalty to the state.
@@jeremychicken3339 so women and children sitting at home were also to blame in what the military did? Should we blame the american people for what the goverment and military did in Iraq?
@@grandcanyon-d4d Not the American people, because due to the fact that the US is a more Guilt driven society, the people are less like a hive and more independent.
@@jeremychicken3339no wonder everyone hate america
The Japanese were every bit as brutal to their prisoners during the war as the Nazi's were to the Jews.
Next time you jump on a plane take yourself to Kanchanaburi visit The War Cemetery or maybe Burma and 'The Death Railway.'
I'm not saying two wrongs make a right but there is a good argument to be made for the Americans bringing an early end to the war and saving many more lives than were lost in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fact is, estimates of Japanese (and American) deaths in an invasion of Japan would've been in the millions. Horrible as it was, the atom bombs actually saved lives because the Japanese - who a lot of people are saying here "were going to surrender", REFUSED even after the first drop.
War was going on since 1940. We got involved when they attacked us in 1941
I love how this video skips over the atrocities committed by the Japanese government in the Pacific. Crimes that people in the Government were never tried over. Plus Japan started the war in the Pacific.
Maybe look for a video about that, instead of expecting an unrelated video to give that info.
I love Japan
Japan was brutal to soldiers and civilian during ww2. Jst ask the locals in Philippines, China, Solomon Islands l, Papua New Guinea, etc. They showed no mercy. Yes it's inhuman what Japanese faced post-atomic bombs but we must be reminded they thought they were intouchable prior.
I wonder if Oppenheimer and Tibbets had a peaceful sleep at night
Wouldn’t this city be radioactive? Like no people could live there since there would be radiation after the bombs? 🤔
From what I've read, there IS still radiation in Hiroshima, but not enough anymore to be harmful to the human body.
So Glad the bombs ended the war and saved lives , a lot of lives . Sorry so many innocents were killed , but war is Hell , looking back it is easy to say what you want , so what is the answer? JESUS is the Answer
Nanjijg Massacre needs more exposure
6:00 They interviewer thought his idol obama had apologized. LOL . Like Mito said, get all the facts and not propaganda.
Oh hun, they were more psychopath than the Nazis. more sadist, hard to describe by any word human can say.
my grandma told me her stories, with tears and pain she has to live everyday in her life till today.
Here we have a video playing Japan as a victim, ignoring all the atrocities that they committed during their attempt at world domination. It included bombing, murdering,
cannibalism etc. It is a shame that this only shows a one side to give people a false narrative that the Japanese people were really the victim. Japanese people as a country decided to go to war and their mindset was to fight until the last Japanese was alive. Though this shows America part in the war, keep in mind all the countries Japan had invaded and killed innocence. Japan brought America into the war by bombing innocence civilians on Pearl Harbor, along with destroying much of our Navy another tactic of world domination. I’m not saying, either side deserves no fault, but this does not accurately portray what the cause of the bombing was, more so this puts Japan as a victim, as if they were doing nothing, which is false, fake, and untrue. Do your research. And it almost seems slightly odd that we have a white guy (not from us) making this video from Japan portraying the U.S. as the aggressor which is surely not the case. Japan started America finished. Be happy we all not speaking Japanese, and that their plans for world domination fell through.
Pearl Harbor was fa*e
Should be stated why this happened. Should also be stated that the U.S warned the city before the bombing, which is more than the Japanese did when they bombed Pear Harbor.
Pearl Harbor was f*ke
War IS HELL, BUT Japan Attacked Pearl Harbour first. And it took two atomic bombs and a week for the stubborn Japanese Empire to surrender.
As an American I like how the people of Hiroshima do not blame or hate us citizens, and realize it was our government responsible for this. I'd love to go there one day. I'll apologize for what happened. Even if our government won't.
Because new generation is brainwashed
❤
@@soapbullet-tq8zf don't get me wrong, I'm happy about the amount of mutually assured destruction we have. But the amount of innocent people who died was unreal.
it was the responsibility of both governments
What good is an apology when it was Tokyo's hubris that killed those people?
That War should have been the end of all wars. We were all in the wrong in the end, nobody won, everyone only lost. In every war there is nothing but loss and waste. Why we as a people on this planet allow the people we do to lead us. We the people of the world vastly outnumber those in control, several million to 1. So we should not be allowing these horrible people to lead us and govern us, we need better in place and it's far overdue to replace the shitty leadership around the world. There is some good, but a lot of them need to be replaced with better people.
Uhhhhh this was not an “atrocity.” Will look forward to your detailed video on the 6 million innocents slaughtered by the Nazis.
Booooo anything against humanity in war is an atrocity. It will always happen in every lifetime. So move along.
sad words from a surviver
It saved the lives of thousands of American and Japanese soldiers who would have died in fighting if the war continued on. The government cared so little about civilians that they did not stop the war until after Nagasaki.
In Fl. they can teach this history. It makes yt people uncomfortable and feel bad. 😔
Women and children damn that made me sick hearing that
I don't care how much the US glorifies this. This is pure Injustice
Can we all just stop killing each other?
No side is to blame , that’s why we are close Allie’s today . Both sides know what they did & understand war . Japan was out for just as much blood and got what was coming but it ended the war and We are in a better place because of it now . The atomic bomb is scary but tbh is why we haven’t seen a WW3 . The auto bomb is what is keeping us safe tbh
@Nikolay Karlovich no they were not lmao. Japan was more violent than Germans.
They fucked around by bombing pearl harbor and they sure did find out.
Ps: I am south asian. Had nothing to do with the wars. Just unbiased perspective.
@Nikolay Karlovich was in Eu was larger scale so death toll was higher. Go read history. Read about Nanjing Massacre. Germans killed because of racism . Japan killed because they felt like killing and were 100 time more savage than germans. Not the same. Ask any historian and they will tell you which side were more violent.
@Nikolay Karlovich and your point is? US mostly nuked Japan because they dared to attack mainland US, German did not do that. Japan chewed more than they could swallow. As I said, Japan fucked around and they found out.
@Nikolay Karlovich I would like to see some credible source backing up your "about to surrender" claims. This is a good place to start.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate_over_the_atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki
AFAIK it was estimated that not nuking japan would cost both side more death and waste of resource since Japan was not surrendering and their mental strength was far greater than Germany. We still see the perfectionist and loyal to the system type of mentality from Japanese to date.
@Nikolay Karlovich the article you've linked is pretty biased. I recommend you to read the comments.
So no mutation ninja and Godzilla nor big dandelions yet.
so I'm supposed to feel bad that some kids died from the atomic blast? who was there from forced child labor in the name of the Emporer? seems pretty awful to me. i guess they should have surrendered when they were warned we were going to use it. maybe you should do a vid on the shrine honoring the Zamakazi pilots. just saying.
Wow
If you don't beget children, u will have everlasting life. Heb 7:3.
Что изменилось после этих событий? Не че го! Гонка вооружения сплошная.одни хотят доминировать над другими сея хаус в странах с безрозличием на страдания народов. Войны делают политики.а страдают народы.
The price Japan paid to became an industrial country.😊
Cool they're taking the higher road, because I'd still hold a big ole grudge
The evil empire didn't know what they were doing fukn with the USA, They, the Japanese fukked around and found out.
@@samzavala1368well they decided to do pearl harbor first and drag us into the war
@@samzavala1368You're only listing the tip of Imperial Japan's iceberg.
This was sad 😢
But very informative ❤
I'm so sorry. Was not born but I don't believe in killing. My worst belief is in water balloon fights and lipsticking my enemies while they sleep. Death is never the answer.
The man in the suit
Now folks are so desensitised to war they spout nuclear war rhetoric like It's completely normal.
The crazy user's online and irl getting off on wars are a terminal cancer to our planet 😢 🌎
“Cant be shown.” This is the internet lmao. Its allowed here.
I would never expect an apology. The Japanese were very brutal to human beings never mind an soldier.
And that makes all this ok?
You japanese, were never apologize to us, most of South east asian countries, that japan were colonized, horribly. crueler than those puny nuclear bombin' u guys were experienced.
Compensation of $550 million to the Philippines, $39 million to Vietnam. Payment of £4.5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross as reparation for prisoners of war (POWs). Waiver of overseas assets worth $81 million.
They did apologize, you just won't accept it.
@@olivebranch6045 so ppl can appraise life worths eh
@@epiclamp44 where, when, how?
@@joyride2638
I wrote about the reparations Japan paid.
There is no such thing as the abomb
Yeah, we made a shit ton 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
IT WAS HARD
Atomic bombs are also supposed to destroy their environment so how is it that after 50 years you can have a normal life growing food and vegetation??
US helped re building
They did an air burst on purpose so there would be less radiation.
Sorry but this whole video is not correct. Japan was killing 1000's of people every day. They were a violent and corrupt nation. There were very few "innocent" civilians. Japan as a people were sadistic, take a look into the real world of history. Yes the atomic bomb was horrendous, but it is so much more important to understand why the Allies were forced to take these steps to stop the war.
So others do war crimes and you are heros? Don't lie you killed people in Iraq,Liby,a,Sirija and others you are most evil people who walk in the world
With that mentality you can justify any massacre against its civilians just saying.. Just because your people do it doesn’t make you innocent. The Us is paying now with what they’ve done to these people with moral decay.
Yeah but the Allies could’ve bombed a military base instead of a village of innocent people. Don’t be so naive.
@@JabbaJohnson you're being naive. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were highly militarized cities with military infrastructure surrounded by civilian infrastructure. There was no way of attack without civilians dying. Even after Hiroshima, Japan STILL didn't surrender. Atomic bombs saved more lives than they took away. point blank period.
Lol bro this is war we’re talking about. You expect a nation to not be violent? Are you saying this like America isn’t the most violent nation to date both inside and out.. such a weird comment…
To include the civilians, the children, in the matter is kinda wild lol 😅😅 Japan was LOSING at the point when the bombs were dropped. The US wanted to flex their new weaponry.
You preach to look into history, but clearly you know nothing of the Manhattan project, or Oppenheimer. Just stfu and stop regurgitating/parroting wherever you heard this nonsense from.
A real criminal act by the United States. They were civilians. Japanese killed 2400 in Pearl Harbor, Americans killed 200.000 in Japan. The American givernment still owe an apology to Japan.
There is no way this guy's name is Ashley...😂
That man should at least be 80 years old if he's a survivor. He looks too young for an 80 year old.
I've seen people be 80-90 years old and looking like they are 60-70 years of age, so looking younger shouldn't be a disqualification so to say. Also if he was in utero on that day then he's most likely 78.
them fuckin japs can be 90 & look 35 anyway.
The arrogance of the U.S. is shown in the fact that most people in the U.S. still have the audacity to this day to excuse this atrocity. Only very few are not egocentric.
It’s a pretty nuanced situation. Im not defending the bombing but if it hadn’t happened then many more could’ve died subsequently.
Man U tryna make me 😢
Ummmm
It's nuclear NOO-KLEE-AR not NOO-KYOO-LER!
The radiation would have to be there and very dangerous still to this day...
It's there just not dangerous anymore. Unless you think hundreds of thousands of Japanese people just decided to kill themselves to live there(which is a stupid assumption fyi).
American way of giving freedom 🖕
Screw Albert Einstein for inventing atomic bomb
He didn't , ASSHOLE! Stop living in your mom's basement !!
Albert Einstein dis not invent the atomic bomb... :slap forehead:
He didn't invent the bomb, he only got the formula E=MC² which means that matter and energy are interchangeable. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
Quote from Forbes:
"For hundreds of years, there was an immutable law of physics that was never challenged: that in any reaction occurring in the Universe, mass was conserved. That no matter what you put in, what reacted, and what came out, the sum of what you began with and the sum of what you ended with would be equal. But under the laws of special relativity, mass simply couldn't be the ultimate conserved quantity, since different observers would disagree about what the energy of a system was. Instead, Einstein was able to derive a law that we still use today, governed by one of the simplest but most powerful equations ever to be written down, E = mc2."
With that in mind, if I take the value from atomicarchive which states Hiroshima bomb had 13 kilotons of TNT yield, when a single kilogram should have 21 megatons of TNT yield, it would mean that the effective mass responsible for the chaos is 0.000619047619 kg. Thats 0.619 grams. Almost the same weight as a microSD card. Mindblowing, but also terrifying.
Somebody needs to get educated
Did Japan apologize for Pearl Harbor?
America has always been cool fun and interesting. helped us people in Europe Pearl Harbor sure it was an Island but still this is the worst war crime in history I want to puke and get my katana which I buy one day and chop every president in history’s head off for what they did here in Japan and it’s my favorite country in the entire world America is third or fourth. And I know how to handle them professionally and speak Japanese. Because I have been practicing Aikido for 7 years and Japanese for 6 months but I will continue 2 years in college and after graduating work for Hollywood and Toho.
easy there killer
The atomic bombs saved millions of lives, both American and Japanese. Don't forget that the japanese acted like the nazis in murdering millions in labor camps and vowed to never surrender. Also more japanese civilians were killed by firebombing than there were from nukes. The beautiful japan we know today was preserved from complete annihilation by the shock of nuclear weapons which forced japan to surrender before it was wiped from existence
@@djsonicc yeah I know I overreacted a bit my bad 🤦♂️😅
Leave Pearl Harbor alone.
🤓
Damn that man has a ton of Botox in his forehead
War is hell, but in all fairness. They sucker punched us. And we had no morale obligation to not do the same. The feeling was mutual. They would have definitely did the same thing if given the technology at the time. As an American. No hard feelings glad we learned peace is better than war. The only apology that I feel is needed is for those who had to endure until the Japanese came to their senses.
Japan had the technology for the bomb
@@grandcanyon-d4d in that time. All I see is a pile of rocks. You sure?

Fkd as this is the marshal plan would not have happened otherwise . And that led to the massive development of japan . Sucks they got nuked to do it though. And it was the end of imperial japan .
