I recall hearing from someone who served on a submarine during WWII when they were stalking the shipyards in Vietnam. The Japanese built a destroyer which the sub and the crew watched for a long time and then when it was launched they sank it as it came out of the harbor.

Interesting spin on the old sailor's tale of a sub sitting on the bottom of Tokyo Bay watching an aircraft carrier being built, then torpedoing it as it slid down the launch ramp. The TRUE tale which inspired the legend (both legends) was the submarine USS Archer-fish sinking the giant carrier Shinano while the latter was still fitting out during sea trials.
The chief author of this, Major George Fielding Eliot, wrote some great pulp stories for Weird Tales, along with HP Lovecraft and that whole crew. One of his stories, "The Copper Bowl," is considered maybe the most shocking and controversial story ever published in Weird Tales.
I imagine they thought it would go out with the trash after the war. Most of the people of that time weren't incredibly sentimental. That doesn't seem so strange for folks who went through the depression and then this massive war.
When the narrator started listing the places that the armed forces attacked at the same time as Pearl Harbor, he should not have omitted Wake Island, or Hong Kong. And should not have included Java because I am pretty sure Java was first attacked weeks later. --- I was astounded that the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) attacked Malaya (ship to shore artillery strike) a few hours before Pearl Harbor. Some other time, in some other comment in this thread, I will list the other places that the armed forces of Japan attacked within 48 hours of attacking Pearl Harbor. I give credit to the makers of this movie for as much as they were able to present, with short preparation time, under world war conditions ... as if the producers were listing what they could remember from radio broadcasts and such from December 7, 1941 (Hawaiian time which was December 8, 1941 across the international date-line in the Philippines and Japan), and the following day.
"The Princeton Film Center." Ironically, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, who was Commander of the 1st Carrier Division, IJN, at Midway was a Princeton graduate, receiving his M.A. there in 1922.
Then the world feared Germany and Japan and the Russians and Chinese were our allies. Now the enemies and allies have basically just swapped around. Not really learned a lot, have we?
On the surface, but in fact much of it is actually untrue. The peasants no longer were tenants (that's not really how they even ran things in the first place, tenant feudalism was very much a European thing) there had been considerable land reform as well. The Japanese had made it very clear that they viewed sanctions as an existential threat, they didn't change on a dime. Basically all the little details are just wrong enough to not be picked up by someone unless they knew quite a lot about Japan during the period.
@@vorynrosethorn903 Governments are designed to encapsulate and manipulate people in all facets of their existence, the matrix (movie) is a way of exposing how people live 'real' life thinking that they're free when they're part of a simulation. The simulation is life itself, and the human is viewed as a battery that gives the beast it's power. The human subject thinks the Japanese kid overseas needs to be defeated, the Japanese kid overseas believes religiously they have a right to rule over the rest of the world. The Islamists, Jews and early Catholics all thought like this. The key to war is Dogma, all countries are masters of it. Because it is a program, and every country plays a role in a script. Japan is China now, Germany is Russia. Germany was Napoleonic France; It is a generational curse. The USA is now weak, and the big WW is coming. The economy crashing, the pandemic is repeating (comparable to the past), the money changers are coming in with digital wallets, the World War is hyping up. The people are buying the Dogma, we're repeating the early 1900's, 1800's etc etc. It's all an illusion, we live in hell. We have real souls, and it is our job to recognize this and ascend our consciousness to levels above the demons that have kept humanity in a state of this perpetual hellish existence. The Demons literally tell people what they're doing on the script with movies, the Fentanyl they're bringing in... they'll poison our food and water with it. It will turn people into zombies. Literally everything operates on a script. I wish people could snap out of it and recognize that this is a perpetual simulation of horror that rules over mankind. We're capable of growing, but only through knowing our true existence inside, and ascending our conscious awareness above all the dark energy that envelopes all of us in distant lands.
I was going to say that the film was made in 1942 based on the shots of the USS Lexington (it says LEX on the deck) and the overflight of TBD dive bombers at the end, the end credits confirmed it. The above notes to this video ended by mentioning the Quebec Conference but the earliest of the two of these in WWII was held in August 1943, my guess is that this was one of the Washington or Allied conferences of 1941 or 42 . Another giveaway for the 1942 date of release was the emphasis on surface ships, no mention of the Battle of Midway and the shots of M3 Lees coming off the production lines (these were phased out by 1943 in favour of Shermans). The ships rolling down the slips from 12:50 onwards include the SS John C Fremont a 4500 ton bulk carrier (no info), DD-453 a Gleaves class destroyer sunk by U Boat in 1943, I could not read the name on the last ship. Great video, interesting to see that even in 1942 US propaganda was emphasizing that the war was between the US and the Japanese government, not the Japanese people.
I agree with you, I take Umbridge at this being labeled a “propaganda film”. None of it was made up or sensationalized it was just 100% accurate. Japan was a savage and fanatical enemy. There are many accounts written about various people’s experiences at the hands of the Japanese war makers. One firsthand account that I found incredibly sad and chilling was that of a woman who is taken prisoner by the Japanese. Her name was Audrey Wetherell Johnson. She was a Christian missionary in China, and when the Japanese invaded she was taken prisoner and suffered horrendously at their tender loving hands. Johnson started an organized Bible study after the war that blossomed into an international bible study system that is still active to this day. It is called, “Bible Study Fellowship“, or “BSF” for short. I was involved in it for several years, and when I read the book about her life, I was really astounded. It’s a worthwhile read for a lot of reasons, but it provides a very interesting firsthand account of what it was like for women in the World War II Japanese POW camps… it’s been a while since I read the book but it was particularly satisfying to read about the war’s end and the liberation of the camps and how their Japanese tormentors hid like cowards when the allies were closing in. You can read about it yourself, the book is titled: “Created for Commitment”. It’s available on Amazon for around $12.00.
I never realized how close Australia came to a Japanese invasion it's pretty crazy when you look at it on the map make sure it all the islands Japan took before they were inadvertently taken back by the axis allies
Japan would have never touched Australia, logistically impossible and the army and navy could never make up their minds on strategy. Their forces were far to stretched by the point they were in Papua New Guinea.
@@heretocomment2337 Japan didn't intend on invading Australia, they only wanted to cut it off from the rest of the Allies. The bombing of Darwin served to prevent the airbases from being used.
“ niponese “. Never heard that before. I knew they were at war with China and Russia at one time, but never knew that they controlled soo much territory.
nipponese and japanese mean the same thing. he used nipponese that time to avoid sounding redundant. imo they couldve just phrased it better so they wouldnt have to use that tho
Old Joke : American flyer gets shot down over Japan. Parachutes into a rice field where he meets a Japanese woman. Not speaking he language he remembers the American Flag tattoo on his chest. He rips open his shirt and says American ! American ! She smiles and rips open her blouse. Says Nipponese ! Nipponese !
It's ironical that this documentary talks about the weakness of Japanese industry and it's need to import almost everything. At the time this film was made, the U.S. was self-sufficient with unlimited natural resources. Today, the U.S. industry is dead, and we require everything to be imported. The U.S. no longer produces a single watch, TV, radio or kitchen appliance; not even a computer monitor. All these things - and even parts for our military's weapons systems - are imported from China. Even most of our drugs are made in China.
Funny how they are acusing Japan of being thieves when most of the territories they conquered were already occupied by other exploitative European powers.
My father was kind, loving, and very intelligent man. Yet, he was for the Japanese internment. He said it was necessary for national security and for the safety of the Japanese Americans themselves because of inflamed passions from Pearl Harbor. Those those beliefs waned a bit over the years, they never disappeared. PS. He would have volunteered in 1943, but his parents wouldn't allow him as a 17 year old. He did go into the Army when he turned 18, went through basic training, was ready for the invasion of Japan proper, but the Bomb was dropped.
The problem with that was that they where US citizens. Basically the US government suspended the constitution for them. Aren't you lot all about freedom and rights? 🤭
I think most people felt that way back then. Your dad wasn't alone. One logical reason was that the government was very concerned about the West Coast. Since that was the direction to Japan, they were concerned that Japanese-Americans might be spies. (They could have just put a few people under surveillance.) Today, we tend to forget that there were also German-Americans and Italian-Americans who were also rounded up into camps. Not nearly as many, but still.
@@paigetomkinson1137 The remnants of the Afrika Korps got POW in America. Poor guys. 😥Where given the choice of returning to carpet bomb Germany or giving the American dream a shot. Guess their choice 😂
The turn around of Japan after the surrender was amazing I cannot imagine why these tactics both pre surrender and after are not used today in 2021 in the modern world
You cornered Japan, try and learn ALL the history in context and you pillaged the nation, made it into a satrap same as Germany. Germany and Japan were potential US competitors on the world stage and the people who own the USA do not do sharing well.
You mean murdering several hundred thousand people and forcing them to host your military indefinitely? I mean, yeah we've been doing that in various ways since then and just look how we're doing! (Bad)
"Japan is not bent upon conquest, and has no desire to detach(?) or annex any part of China. What our people and government want is peace and security in the far east." Russia 80 years later: "Genius! Write that down!"
Nah, actually, the situation in Ukraine is different. Russia invaded Ukraine because of the genocide of Russians in eastern Ukraine. There was no genocide of Japanese people in China. Russia invaded Ukraine because of the US-led NATO alliance's desire to make the latter country a NATO member, with the resulting strategic advantages. China had no desire to expand into Japan. Russia invaded Ukraine because of the bioweapons labs there. China had no bioweapons. But you keep on listening to the Western media, and letting them do your thinking for you.
@@Johnny-rx4hs "So Russia responded to genocide with even more genocide? They've been deliberatley killing civilians." Well, what can I say? It's takes brains and a moral compass to not readily believe the Western medias' lies. Which is why so many Americans accept whatever their news outlets (both leftist and rightist) tell them. Tell me: before the war started, did you express any outrage at the atrocities committed against Russians in Ukraine?
Surprisingly nuanced, separating the leadership from the oppressed Japanese underclass. I was expecting something significantly more racist and jingoistic.
Historians and history books overstate how bad racism was in the US. Despite racist Legislation, many would argue its worse today, as there are larger groups of each race and a rabid global antagonist media stoking the flames
It sounds like the Germans and Japanese had similar goals. I can't spell the German name for it but the translation is "living space" and if this film is truthful it seems the Japanese also had this in mind when they started to conquer Asia.
Thx for sharing this video, maybe future generations will study this video, only to discover that war, war never changes. (extra points to those who got this reference) 😊👍
My grandpa was a barber for the americans during ww2 He was filipino. He told his wife and children what attrocities they did Like robbing and mass torture. He was lucky to survive the war Along with my grandma who was an infant at the time (My grandpa was 40 years old or more when he married my grandma) Besides being a barber The americans hired him as somekind of spy. And he did say something about a cave full of treasure in eastern china and somewhere in the oceans of west philippine sea. But who knows
I have been watching and reading WW II films and books for over fifty years and I also knew many WW II Vets as well, the term 'United Nations' was inded an exception to the terminology to which most Service members and wrters referred to the term as 'Allied' forces, not 'United Nations' forces.
The term, “United Nations” was used throughout WWII, and was used as the name of the formal organization that replaced the “League of Nations”. The terms "Allies", "Democracies", and "United Nations" were all used to describe our side during the war. What we now call the United Nations did get started before the end of WWII. The UN Charter was drafted at a conference between April-June 1945 in San Francisco, and was signed on 26 June 1945 at the conclusion of the conference.
It's a reference to the "Declaration by United Nations" that the Allied powers signed on January 1 1942, and which later became the basis for the U.N. organization in 1945.
We trained and supplied anti-Japanese fighters in French Indo-China, among them Ho Chi Minh. Sound familiar? He turned around and fought us. It wasn't the last time somebody we trained to defend their country turned around and fought us. Something to learn there.
+John Grogan When you train and finance an insurgency, be there to help them found a democratic government because chances are the people you're funding would be despots on their own. One hopes the United Nations can manage these transitions more decently than the US has tried to do in the past. (We were saying after the first gulf war that Saddam was probably the only guy to keep his country together.)
In all fairness, Japan was relatively isolationist until Admiral Perry demanded otherwise. Japan was a collection of dukedoms until this event forced them to become a nation.
Американцы как всегда, подло врут. Трусливые убийцы гражданского населения. Они умеют оправдывать свою подлость. Нация воров и убийц захватившая континент путём геноцида индейцев!
@handsup4055 То как янки убивали детей и женщин в Югославии, невозможно повторить никому. Ковровые бомбардировки нельзя сравнивать с войной которые янки развязали на Украине. Россия приняла беженцев из Украины больше чем вся лицемерная Европа. Все получили жилье, работу, детские сады и пособия для детей и пенсии для стариков. Янки понятия не имеют как нам жаль бывших сограждан которых не выпускают из Украины и заставляют воевать.
@handsup4055 Наш Путин красавчек, ему не надо говорить, он все знает сам. Не судите о нём по президенту Байдену который должен лечиться а не управлять страной. Американских военных убитых на Украине посчитайте. А все оружие которым воюют украинцы дали янки. Переговоры в Турции закрыли янки. Земли на Украине куплены янки и сыном Байдена. Две военные биологические лаборатории которые проводили опыты на украинских военных построены янки! Не нужно нам говорить что то передать Путину. Народ требует от Путина и своей армии что бы в плен брали только украинских военных. Украинские военные наши глупые братья которых продало правительство. Все янки, поляки, и другие наемники не должны попадать в плен! Они должны умереть вместе со своим оружием! Это люди России требуют у Путина. Мы не хотим видеть на обмене пленными наемников, которые стреляют в спины украинских пленных которые хотят сдаться. Мы ненавидим наемников и их руководство. Требуем у Путина что бы они были не обменным фондом а удобрением!
"we have the weapons and nowhere to use them" That attitude persists to this day. Good thing they made extensive use of them in ww2, Korean war, vietnam war, Bay of Pigs, Grenada, Panama, Gulf war, Somalia, 2nd Iraqi war, Afghanistan, and dozens of other proxy wars.
Since we’re all sharing stories… …lived in Micronesia back in the day and played on Japanese tanks and large battery guns left after the end of WWII. Those island have seen nothing but occupation and ownership by foreigners; Spain, Germany, Japan….and I guess you could even say the U.S. has occupied the islands through pacts, compacts, etc. But I would argue it’s been more of a benefit because the US has supplied money, heathlcare and education, all the while allowing the people there freedom to practice their culture. Sadly, it’s so painfully clear that China is attempting to take over the islands (and other places) next. Just look at how the Solomon Islands just entered into an agreement with China. There’s another world war coming. It may be soon or it may be later, but it’s coming. And those islands and their peoples will be subjected to an oppressive system of government.
In the beginning the narrator implies the ambassador knew about the Pearl Harbor attack but I actually find it easier to believe the Japanese military kept it secret based on how much influence they had
Most Japanese still have a huge superiority complex & dislike of foreigners. The 'divine right' to rule the world. Very few of them know about the cruelty and atrocities done to POWs and harmless civilians in the countries they overran. After the surrender, nothing was done to make them teach this in schools. Always amazed me how we gave more help to Japan & Germany after WW2, than we ever gave to the Russians. They lost far more than any of our allies. 80 years later, that kind of unfinished business is partly what fuels Putin's distrust of the West and need to make war in the Ukraine. 80 years later, we know there are a lot of things to admire about Japanese culture. Much of that can only be accomplished in a homogeneous culture of just one race. Much the same as it was during WW2. It is shrinking every year. Meanwhile, Germany, our other arch enemy from WW2, has transformed itself. It is a growing, dynamic society which has accepted folks of all races. It pays the bills for much of Europe. It seems once the people of Germany realized the damage the Nazis had done to the World, they tried to heal it ever since. That hasn't happened in Japan from what I can see.
Большая помощь России была оказана в 90е годы. Америка скупила все нефтяные месторождения, заводы, шахты. Так же как сын Байдена скупил все на Украине вместе с компанией нескольких американских промышленников. Все эти годы Америка оплачивала цветные революции в бывших республиках СССР. Ближе к России двигала военные базы. О каком доверии можно говорить? Байдена нужно заставить ответить за все преступления что он совершил. Именно он отдал приказ бомбить Югославию. В России имя Байден ненавидят так же сильно как имя Ельцин и Горбачёв. Два предателя и агрессор. Три мерзавца. Когда американцы бомбили Югославию, они рвали сердце каждого русского! Мы носим Путина на руках в надежде что он заставит ответить Американское правительство за все преступления.
@gardengeek3041さん >After the surrender, nothing was done to make them teach this in schools. いいえ、やってもいないことが、ほんの数年前まで真実として学校で教えられていました。（一部の学校や教師は今もそれを続けていますが）日本統治下の朝鮮半島での「強制連行」、満州での731部隊「細菌実験」、チャイナでの「南京大虐殺」など、共産主義者と反日活動家の作り話がほんの数年前まで真実として子どもたちが使うほとんどの教科書に掲載されていました。最近、虚構と判明した「強制連行」や「細菌実験」はようやく削除され、「南京大虐殺」についても、その規模について論争があるという記述が追加されるようになりました。日本と世界の全ての人々が歴史を直視できる日が来ることを願っています。

What is the "PF# 28232b 00:00:......" numbers about. It blocks the screen and doesn't really count anything unless it is base 24 or something. The counter starts from zero but doesn't go past 23 but clicks over. C'mon unclutter the screen.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels.

Of all the atrocities during the second world war. It cannot be stated enough. That the Japanese were absolutely sadistic and cruel to their prisoners of War. And I'm talking horrific! I have absolutely no issue with this film at all. The truth is the truth. Yes, you have to move on at a certain point. But, that doesn't mean forgetting what happened, either.
We can try to forgive, but never forget. Grandfather died in the Pacific, 3 weeks before my dad was born. His submarine was depth charged by the Japanese.
Для чего было бомбить Югославию? Вьетнам? Сирию? Безнаказанность позволяет преступникам совершать все новые преступления. Им не нужно оправдываться перед более слабыми странами. Зачем? Они взорвали нефтепровод лишив немцев газа. Что они сказали немцам? Ничего. Они нагло смеются им в лицо. Америке придется ответить за преступления своего правительства. Слишком длинный счёт им будет предъявлен.
That was the worst thing and I'm certain Japan regrets it. They created this awful newer generation of dumpy weebs and girls in stupid looking colorful wigs. A generation of accepted cultural appropriation that almost makes me feel ashamed of being a student of East Asian culture.
The American People deserve modernized anti-Japan propaganda, so this film should be updated with a hard-rock/heavy metal soundtrack and provide helpful information about the threats of budget animation and emotionally-intelligent robot lovers. Otherwise, this all pretty much checks out.
The UK, The US, The Netherlands and France all had enormous colonial territories in Asia. The irony of calling Japan out for doing essentially the same thing seems lost here.
Doing something decades or centuries later is not "essentially the same"... You can't colonize North America by killing the indigenous people second time, can you?
Not that I'm siding with the British or the other Europeans who took colonies. But compared to them, the Japanese was just so cruel that those Europeans felt like Saints and liberators when they came back.
Really stark contrast to the much longer film with the same name, it's interesting to see a propaganda film actually make it clear how much the Japanese population was suffering under imperial rule and portray them somewhat sympathetically.
This is very inaccurate, it twists the truth quite considerably, especially about the domestic structure of Japan. Also the call against imperialism is a indirect attack on most of those united nations.
the irony of the narrator saying that parts of Indonesia and Malaysia belonged to Netherlands and other western countries! as did a few other Asian areas. I am not condoning what Japan did, but part of the reason they did this was because they highly resented westerners taking over Asia. And, the Americans forced Japan to trade by sending a cannonball into their fort...in the 1800s
Yes, that is a good summation of wartime Japanese propaganda. Japanese propagandists were probably making the same point at the time this film was originally aired. You might think that colonialism in South-East Asia was very wrong, however those descriptions of national ownership is basically how colonialism worked in the early twentieth century. The key point here was what the Japanese Empire did was institute a way more barbaric and way less stable form of colonialism than what had existed previously under European 'rule'. Today all of those territories are independently governed and the reasons why have a great deal to do with the film that you criticize and the values/cause that it promotes.
@@czechchineseamerican Not to mention Japan often tried to justify it as "bringing civilization" or "beating back western imperialism" when they were butchers worse than the Belgians in Congo. They used the same kind of arguments as the westerners they criticized and were absolute barbarians about it.
Interesting. This was deadly serious. It may sound stiff and formal but the film was quite accurate. This was a war we really could NOT avoid. An all out effort to stop these enemies who were literally out to take over the world.
LOL You evidently have all your history from Propaganda. This is so much out of context bullshit and frankly is as accurate as their propaganda films about the USA at the same time. For a starter, the USA had been AT WAR with Japan already for some time. Sanctioning and blockading the nation for oil no less! You not only asked for this, Japan had NO CHOICE as is the usual modus operandi of the USA when starting wars ensured. You do the same over and over, maybe 90 times since then. You've met your last round though now. You have pushed Russia and China into a corner from which they, not you, have no choice but to clip your wings. You better believe they will too before this is over.
They also were correct in their predictions of the primary factor that would eventually lead the US to win this war. America’s industrial output, modernized industry, and extensive natural resources were ultimately the key behind the Allied victory.
I agree with your question. If there was any racism in this film, I must have missed it. While there was certainly racist anti-Japanese propaganda put out by the United States during WWII, I don't think this particular film is an example of anti-Japanese racism. Most of the commentary about Japan in this film is related to culture, not race. We today might disagree with the opinions put forth by the film about Japanese culture, but culture and race are not the same thing (though they are intertwined in many cases). Thus, negative comments about a culture, however unfair or ignorant such comments may be, should not be equated with racism.
WW2 Japan = North Korea Hirohito = Kim jong un (Motto : Tenhou heika banzai , Kim jong man se) Shinto = Juche (Leader based religion) Mount Fuji = Mount Paektusan Battleship yamato = Taepodong ICBM (Weapon of national icon) Imperial Japanese forces = North Korean people Armed forces (Both of them are serve for their only master , not protect their country citizens ) Zeroes = Mig's Arisakas = AK's Leader is everything Both of them opposing western democracy and belief of freedom by their excuses e.g. western moral wasn't fit for asians (sorry japan, this was the reason you failed.) People are basically slaves or mechanical screws of their national war machine Media was completely under control by government (Old NHK and Asahi news/KCNA), newspapers were distributed by official agencies Propaganda was common from posters to tv shows Patriotism and Pan-nationalism education was the major school subject Unbalanced military budget (Japan had strongest navy but have the weakest army ; North korea had strongest army and have many ballistic missiles but their 'navy' was the weakest in entire asian continent) Both of them using outdated military strategy (Japan = WW1 ; North korea = Cold war era) Both suffered severe starvation and malnutrition Western religion was banned Both have a big boss (Nazi germany and PRC) Harsh slave labor system (North korea had labor camp) Unable to survive when outside supply was completely cut off (North korea was secretly supported by PRC)
Japan was democratic during ww2. Not too different from the USA buddy

Big difference tho. Japan didnt bother rattling any sabre. they went ahead with plunging a bayonet into china, then the United States with aspirations of world conquest. NK is only doing what NK has always done soon after new presidential elections. Pitch a temper tantrum .. Thats basically what it is, a temper tantrum. Like a child in a store with its mother having a meltdown because she refuses to buy it some candy or a toy.
It’s different because the belief of the divine origin of the emperor is part of ancient Shinto and therefore much easier to believe if no one in living memory had ever believed otherwise... also no one would dream of handling the hirohitos uncovered picture unlike Korea where it’s literally mandatory to keep pictures of the leader. When he appeared on the front page of TIME magazine the Japanese government filed an official complaint with the US government. Also North Korea was a communist country whereas japan was basically untapped extreme capitalism. Japan also never considered Germany a big brother in fact the Japanese empire at its height was larger than the nazis. And they killed almost as many if not more .. we have no way of really knowing the death toll in China due to the country being so huge but it could be easily anywhere between 20-30 million there’s no real way of knowing. This was mainly due to Tojos three all’s policy In china - loot all burn all , KILL ALL this was aimed at civilian families not soldiers. North Korea has done a lot of evil shit but it hasn’t reached the point of nazis or imperial japan just yet. The extent of the murder and brutality of the Japanese army during ww2 is really quite unique and quite extraordinary- literally everywhere they occupied there were horrific scenes of brutality not just ahain soldiers but local civilians women and children.. they would rape them torture them and kill them in horrific ways .. ppl who had done really nothing at all.
I sure am glad that Germany and Japan friendship is in the past and NO OTHER FRIENDSHIP like that IS PRESENT TODAY...China and Russia with a dash of Iran and N Korea...WTH! are We The People doing?...Hello! McFly!!!!!
Japan has never yet quite come to terms with its terrible record in WW2. Its all very well to say this documentary is racist. But look at it as a record of the feelings of the times. Retrospective judgement is an easy Mark.
@Mexican Rocks for Trump 2020 Exactly; Japan nowadays is decent and no longer this aggressive expansionistic nation... Now North Korea, they need some fixing
My father was a ww2 veteran he was in Japan after the surrender the military sezied a sock factory 🏭 he had new socks all the time he sold his dirty socks to the Japanese.
History is written by the winners. The US and the UK tried to do exactly the same thing. Only difference is that they won. Even today a country can't so much as buy weapons from America's enemies without getting put on a sanctions blacklist.
there's certainly a difference between expansion happening during the 19th century and the 20th century and how citizens in every country viewed it, especially given the fact that 20-30 million civilians died between the period between 1931-1945 which absolutely trumps the number of natives that may have perished during some periods of western expansion

I recall hearing from someone who served on a submarine during WWII when they were stalking the shipyards in Vietnam. The Japanese built a destroyer which the sub and the crew watched for a long time and then when it was launched they sank it as it came out of the harbor.

Interesting spin on the old sailor's tale of a sub sitting on the bottom of Tokyo Bay watching an aircraft carrier being built, then torpedoing it as it slid down the launch ramp. The TRUE tale which inspired the legend (both legends) was the submarine USS Archer-fish sinking the giant carrier Shinano while the latter was still fitting out during sea trials.
The chief author of this, Major George Fielding Eliot, wrote some great pulp stories for Weird Tales, along with HP Lovecraft and that whole crew. One of his stories, "The Copper Bowl," is considered maybe the most shocking and controversial story ever published in Weird Tales.

Weird Tales.. that brings back memories!
I can't imagine the creators of this "urgent" and "current " information, could imagine people would be watching this so many decades later!
I mean they called ww1 the war to end all wars. I’m sure they had an idea this was a historic moment.
I imagine they thought it would go out with the trash after the war. Most of the people of that time weren't incredibly sentimental. That doesn't seem so strange for folks who went through the depression and then this massive war.
When the narrator started listing the places that the armed forces attacked at the same time as Pearl Harbor, he should not have omitted Wake Island, or Hong Kong. And should not have included Java because I am pretty sure Java was first attacked weeks later.

I was astounded that the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) attacked Malaya (ship to shore artillery strike) a few hours before Pearl Harbor.
Some other time, in some other comment in this thread, I will list the other places that the armed forces of Japan attacked within 48 hours of attacking Pearl Harbor.
I give credit to the makers of this movie for as much as they were able to present, with short preparation time, under world war conditions ... as if the producers were listing what they could remember from radio broadcasts and such from December 7, 1941 (Hawaiian time which was December 8, 1941 across the international date-line in the Philippines and Japan), and the following day.

ok racist
On the surface, but in fact much of it is actually untrue. The peasants no longer were tenants (that's not really how they even ran things in the first place, tenant feudalism was very much a European thing) there had been considerable land reform as well. The Japanese had made it very clear that they viewed sanctions as an existential threat, they didn't change on a dime. Basically all the little details are just wrong enough to not be picked up by someone unless they knew quite a lot about Japan during the period.
@@vorynrosethorn903 Governments are designed to encapsulate and manipulate people in all facets of their existence, the matrix (movie) is a way of exposing how people live 'real' life thinking that they're free when they're part of a simulation. The simulation is life itself, and the human is viewed as a battery that gives the beast it's power. The human subject thinks the Japanese kid overseas needs to be defeated, the Japanese kid overseas believes religiously they have a right to rule over the rest of the world. The Islamists, Jews and early Catholics all thought like this. The key to war is Dogma, all countries are masters of it. Because it is a program, and every country plays a role in a script. Japan is China now, Germany is Russia. Germany was Napoleonic France; It is a generational curse. The USA is now weak, and the big WW is coming. The economy crashing, the pandemic is repeating (comparable to the past), the money changers are coming in with digital wallets, the World War is hyping up. The people are buying the Dogma, we're repeating the early 1900's, 1800's etc etc.
It's all an illusion, we live in hell. We have real souls, and it is our job to recognize this and ascend our consciousness to levels above the demons that have kept humanity in a state of this perpetual hellish existence. The Demons literally tell people what they're doing on the script with movies, the Fentanyl they're bringing in... they'll poison our food and water with it. It will turn people into zombies. Literally everything operates on a script. I wish people could snap out of it and recognize that this is a perpetual simulation of horror that rules over mankind. We're capable of growing, but only through knowing our true existence inside, and ascending our conscious awareness above all the dark energy that envelopes all of us in distant lands.
I was going to say that the film was made in 1942 based on the shots of the USS Lexington (it says LEX on the deck) and the overflight of TBD dive bombers at the end, the end credits confirmed it.
The above notes to this video ended by mentioning the Quebec Conference but the earliest of the two of these in WWII was held in August 1943, my guess is that this was one of the Washington or Allied conferences of 1941 or 42 . Another giveaway for the 1942 date of release was the emphasis on surface ships, no mention of the Battle of Midway and the shots of M3 Lees coming off the production lines (these were phased out by 1943 in favour of Shermans).
The ships rolling down the slips from 12:50 onwards include the SS John C Fremont a 4500 ton bulk carrier (no info), DD-453 a Gleaves class destroyer sunk by U Boat in 1943, I could not read the name on the last ship.
Great video, interesting to see that even in 1942 US propaganda was emphasizing that the war was between the US and the Japanese government, not the Japanese people.
No, not propaganda........everything said in this film was TRUE about the very warlike Japanese of the 1930's and 40's.
Well, technically, propaganda doesn't have to be untrue; but, I hear ya, and agree.
I agree with you, I take Umbridge at this being labeled a “propaganda film”. None of it was made up or sensationalized it was just 100% accurate. Japan was a savage and fanatical enemy. There are many accounts written about various people’s experiences at the hands of the Japanese war makers. One firsthand account that I found incredibly sad and chilling was that of a woman who is taken prisoner by the Japanese. Her name was Audrey Wetherell Johnson. She was a Christian missionary in China, and when the Japanese invaded she was taken prisoner and suffered horrendously at their tender loving hands.
Johnson started an organized Bible study after the war that blossomed into an international bible study system that is still active to this day. It is called, “Bible Study Fellowship“, or “BSF” for short. I was involved in it for several years, and when I read the book about her life, I was really astounded. It’s a worthwhile read for a lot of reasons, but it provides a very interesting firsthand account of what it was like for women in the World War II Japanese POW camps… it’s been a while since I read the book but it was particularly satisfying to read about the war’s end and the liberation of the camps and how their Japanese tormentors hid like cowards when the allies were closing in. You can read about it yourself, the book is titled: “Created for Commitment”. It’s available on Amazon for around $12.00.
I never realized how close Australia came to a Japanese invasion it's pretty crazy when you look at it on the map make sure it all the islands Japan took before they were inadvertently taken back by the axis allies
Japan would have never touched Australia, logistically impossible and the army and navy could never make up their minds on strategy. Their forces were far to stretched by the point they were in Papua New Guinea.

“ niponese “. Never heard that before. I knew they were at war with China and Russia at one time, but never knew that they controlled soo much territory.
I mean, it's probably more 'correct' than saying Japanese. Nippon/Nihon are the Japanese words for Japan.

It's ironical that this documentary talks about the weakness of Japanese industry and it's need to import almost everything. At the time this film was made, the U.S. was self-sufficient with unlimited natural resources. Today, the U.S. industry is dead, and we require everything to be imported. The U.S. no longer produces a single watch, TV, radio or kitchen appliance; not even a computer monitor. All these things - and even parts for our military's weapons systems - are imported from China. Even most of our drugs are made in China.

My father was kind, loving, and very intelligent man. Yet, he was for the Japanese internment. He said it was necessary for national security and for the safety of the Japanese Americans themselves because of inflamed passions from Pearl Harbor. Those those beliefs waned a bit over the years, they never disappeared. PS. He would have volunteered in 1943, but his parents wouldn't allow him as a 17 year old. He did go into the Army when he turned 18, went through basic training, was ready for the invasion of Japan proper, but the Bomb was dropped.
The problem with that was that they where US citizens. Basically the US government suspended the constitution for them. Aren't you lot all about freedom and rights? 🤭
I think most people felt that way back then. Your dad wasn't alone. One logical reason was that the government was very concerned about the West Coast. Since that was the direction to Japan, they were concerned that Japanese-Americans might be spies. (They could have just put a few people under surveillance.)
Today, we tend to forget that there were also German-Americans and Italian-Americans who were also rounded up into camps. Not nearly as many, but still.

The sympathies for the average Japanese people were nice to see.
It sounds like the Germans and Japanese had similar goals. I can't spell the German name for it but the translation is "living space" and if this film is truthful it seems the Japanese also had this in mind when they started to conquer Asia.

I keep hearing the words 'United Nations' in this film, although the U.N. was not a formalized body until well after WW II ended!
The Allies referred to themselves as the United Nations throughout the war.
That was not a 'universal' term. 'Allies' was most prevalent.
I have been watching and reading WW II films and books for over fifty years and I also knew many WW II Vets as well, the term 'United Nations' was inded an exception to the terminology to which most Service members and wrters referred to the term as 'Allied' forces, not 'United Nations' forces.
The term, “United Nations” was used throughout WWII, and was used as the name of the formal organization that replaced the “League of Nations”. The terms "Allies", "Democracies", and "United Nations" were all used to describe our side during the war. What we now call the United Nations did get started before the end of WWII. The UN Charter was drafted at a conference between April-June 1945 in San Francisco, and was signed on 26 June 1945 at the conclusion of the conference.
It's a reference to the "Declaration by United Nations" that the Allied powers signed on January 1 1942, and which later became the basis for the U.N. organization in 1945.
We trained and supplied anti-Japanese fighters in French Indo-China, among them Ho Chi Minh. Sound familiar? He turned around and fought us. It wasn't the last time somebody we trained to defend their country turned around and fought us. Something to learn there.
Wow, the Vietnam War... also how we trained and supplied Muslim groups in Afghanistan when the Soviet Union invaded them
+John Grogan When you train and finance an insurgency, be there to help them found a democratic government because chances are the people you're funding would be despots on their own. One hopes the United Nations can manage these transitions more decently than the US has tried to do in the past. (We were saying after the first gulf war that Saddam was probably the only guy to keep his country together.)
In all fairness, Japan was relatively isolationist until Admiral Perry demanded otherwise. Japan was a collection of dukedoms until this event forced them to become a nation.
Yeah, sure.
Have you forgotten Osama bin Ladden? We supplied him and the Afghani rebels with arms d training. When the Russians were gone it become the Taliban.

That attitude persists to this day. Good thing they made extensive use of them in ww2, Korean war, vietnam war, Bay of Pigs, Grenada, Panama, Gulf war, Somalia, 2nd Iraqi war, Afghanistan, and dozens of other proxy wars.
Since we’re all sharing stories…
…lived in Micronesia back in the day and played on Japanese tanks and large battery guns left after the end of WWII. Those island have seen nothing but occupation and ownership by foreigners; Spain, Germany, Japan….and I guess you could even say the U.S. has occupied the islands through pacts, compacts, etc. But I would argue it’s been more of a benefit because the US has supplied money, heathlcare and education, all the while allowing the people there freedom to practice their culture.
Sadly, it’s so painfully clear that China is attempting to take over the islands (and other places) next. Just look at how the Solomon Islands just entered into an agreement with China. There’s another world war coming. It may be soon or it may be later, but it’s coming. And those islands and their peoples will be subjected to an oppressive system of government.
Peace and prosperity to all nations.

Thats a interesting idea to do.
Most Japanese still have a huge superiority complex & dislike of foreigners. The 'divine right' to rule the world.
Very few of them know about the cruelty and atrocities done to POWs and harmless civilians in the countries they overran. After the surrender, nothing was done to make them teach this in schools.
Always amazed me how we gave more help to Japan & Germany after WW2, than we ever gave to the Russians. They lost far more than any of our allies.
80 years later, that kind of unfinished business is partly what fuels Putin's distrust of the West and need to make war in the Ukraine.
80 years later, we know there are a lot of things to admire about Japanese culture. Much of that can only be accomplished in a homogeneous culture of just one race. Much the same as it was during WW2. It is shrinking every year.
Meanwhile, Germany, our other arch enemy from WW2, has transformed itself. It is a growing, dynamic society which has accepted folks of all races. It pays the bills for much of Europe. It seems once the people of Germany realized the damage the Nazis had done to the World, they tried to heal it ever since.
That hasn't happened in Japan from what I can see.
Большая помощь России была оказана в 90е годы. Америка скупила все нефтяные месторождения, заводы, шахты. Так же как сын Байдена скупил все на Украине вместе с компанией нескольких американских промышленников. Все эти годы Америка оплачивала цветные революции в бывших республиках СССР. Ближе к России двигала военные базы.
О каком доверии можно говорить? Байдена нужно заставить ответить за все преступления что он совершил. Именно он отдал приказ бомбить Югославию. В России имя Байден ненавидят так же сильно как имя Ельцин и Горбачёв. Два предателя и агрессор. Три мерзавца.
Когда американцы бомбили Югославию, они рвали сердце каждого русского! Мы носим Путина на руках в надежде что он заставит ответить Американское правительство за все преступления.

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

There is no negativity in the optimism of humanity's future. Though my past and present are flawed, in ways that go beyond my joyful perspective.
軍事に少しでも知識のある方が見ればお粗末な資料フッテージ集ですね。まぁ､どの国でもプロバガンダ映像はこんなモノですが。それにしても冒頭の真珠湾攻撃の映像はヒドい｡空母6隻からなる機動部隊からの艦載機による攻撃なのに４発の爆撃機(あきらかに米軍のＢ17)や双発爆撃機が爆弾を投下してるし(投下する場面は複葉機の翼下に懸架した小型爆弾)コクピット映像の日本パイロットは訓練飛行のフィルム盗用。因みに1941年12月開戦時に実用化の４発爆撃機は日本には存在しない。全体に寄せ集めフィルム(年代バラバラ)を使用し最後の艦隊上空を複葉機が先頭に飛ぶ編隊飛行は他のプロバガンダ映像では「真珠湾に殺到するジャップの飛行機」と言ってました🤭💦

Of all the atrocities during the second world war. It cannot be stated enough. That the Japanese were absolutely sadistic and cruel to their prisoners of War. And I'm talking horrific! I have absolutely no issue with this film at all. The truth is the truth. Yes, you have to move on at a certain point. But, that doesn't mean forgetting what happened, either.
The thing is japanese people forgot what they did in ww2. Even nowadays, this period of history is still not, or very very shortly taught in schools.
@@ArthurM0rgan63 more like denied
@@dummy59 that's right. It so much a taboo you cannot even discuss about it with Japanese people.
We can try to forgive, but never forget. Grandfather died in the Pacific, 3 weeks before my dad was born. His submarine was depth charged by the Japanese.
You mean like the American Indian and, civil war?
Then why throw two nuclear bombs on them? If they where easyly defeated?
Для чего было бомбить Югославию? Вьетнам? Сирию?
Безнаказанность позволяет преступникам совершать все новые преступления. Им не нужно оправдываться перед более слабыми странами. Зачем? Они взорвали нефтепровод лишив немцев газа. Что они сказали немцам? Ничего. Они нагло смеются им в лицо.
Америке придется ответить за преступления своего правительства. Слишком длинный счёт им будет предъявлен.
*NEVER* trust an 'Eh shun'.
...Then Japan brought us Anime and we all signed a peace treaty.
Anime came from comics witch came from American culture due to the occupation of Japan after the war
That was the worst thing and I'm certain Japan regrets it. They created this awful newer generation of dumpy weebs and girls in stupid looking colorful wigs. A generation of accepted cultural appropriation that almost makes me feel ashamed of being a student of East Asian culture.
I’d actually be okay with us nuking them again because of anime!
@@Sahiyena11 i mean... it's not their fault they write good fiction. That's on weird Americans for being obsessive nerds.

A unique insight to Japan at the time but you can feel that this is just propaganda to inspire the troops
10:20
the narrator: - talking about war -
the scratch on the tape: 💃💃
The American People deserve modernized anti-Japan propaganda, so this film should be updated with a hard-rock/heavy metal soundtrack and provide helpful information about the threats of budget animation and emotionally-intelligent robot lovers. Otherwise, this all pretty much checks out.
That's a funny comment!
😆👌
The UK, The US, The Netherlands and France all had enormous colonial territories in Asia. The irony of calling Japan out for doing essentially the same thing seems lost here.
Doing something decades or centuries later is not "essentially the same"... You can't colonize North America by killing the indigenous people second time, can you?
Japan's crimes in Asia are far more serious than those in the West
Allies were the real fascist, not Italy (noob)
How dare they take the land that the Dutch and British took fair and square! Lol
FDR was against colonialism and worked very hard against Churchill about it.
Not that I'm siding with the British or the other Europeans who took colonies. But compared to them, the Japanese was just so cruel that those Europeans felt like Saints and liberators when they came back.
@@John-rn1nm no
European ain't saint. Their deeds were whitewashed, the same way as Japan.
@@John-rn1nm
Only USSR & Germany paid for their deeds.
love this stuff
Really stark contrast to the much longer film with the same name, it's interesting to see a propaganda film actually make it clear how much the Japanese population was suffering under imperial rule and portray them somewhat sympathetically.
"The world has never known a nation so vicious and predatory" all of Europe looks away
How come the most fierce countries, Japan and Germany, are now the most docile and self-destructive?
I don't think that Japan is. They seem based and quite self-interested.
This is very inaccurate, it twists the truth quite considerably, especially about the domestic structure of Japan.
Also the call against imperialism is a indirect attack on most of those united nations.
五十分前で草。
Almost like history repeats itself.
Even the lies and Propaganda.
You mean rhymes.
the irony of the narrator saying that parts of Indonesia and Malaysia belonged to Netherlands and other western countries! as did a few other Asian areas. I am not condoning what Japan did, but part of the reason they did this was because they highly resented westerners taking over Asia. And, the Americans forced Japan to trade by sending a cannonball into their fort...in the 1800s
Yup
They resented westerners taking over Asia... and then tried to do the same.
Yes, that is a good summation of wartime Japanese propaganda. Japanese propagandists were probably making the same point at the time this film was originally aired. You might think that colonialism in South-East Asia was very wrong, however those descriptions of national ownership is basically how colonialism worked in the early twentieth century. The key point here was what the Japanese Empire did was institute a way more barbaric and way less stable form of colonialism than what had existed previously under European 'rule'.
Today all of those territories are independently governed and the reasons why have a great deal to do with the film that you criticize and the values/cause that it promotes.
@@czechchineseamerican Not to mention Japan often tried to justify it as "bringing civilization" or "beating back western imperialism" when they were butchers worse than the Belgians in Congo. They used the same kind of arguments as the westerners they criticized and were absolute barbarians about it.
Interesting. This was deadly serious. It may sound stiff and formal but the film was quite accurate. This was a war we really could NOT avoid. An all out effort to stop these enemies who were literally out to take over the world.
LOL You evidently have all your history from Propaganda. This is so much out of context bullshit and frankly is as accurate as their propaganda films about the USA at the same time. For a starter, the USA had been AT WAR with Japan already for some time. Sanctioning and blockading the nation for oil no less! You not only asked for this, Japan had NO CHOICE as is the usual modus operandi of the USA when starting wars ensured. You do the same over and over, maybe 90 times since then. You've met your last round though now. You have pushed Russia and China into a corner from which they, not you, have no choice but to clip your wings. You better believe they will too before this is over.
The US could have easily avoided joining ww2.
Oil embargo. Made the Japanese turn towards America. Wars are almost never unprovoked.
They also were correct in their predictions of the primary factor that would eventually lead the US to win this war. America’s industrial output, modernized industry, and extensive natural resources were ultimately the key behind the Allied victory.
My father served aboard anLST in ww2 New Guinea and Borneo and almost died from malaria and dysentery diseases were as bad as the Japanese
I wonder how they got the footage of the enemy from, it's not like your enemy would let you in to film them.
How was that racist?
@Logan Stroganoff Your mom
I agree with your question. If there was any racism in this film, I must have missed it. While there was certainly racist anti-Japanese propaganda put out by the United States during WWII, I don't think this particular film is an example of anti-Japanese racism. Most of the commentary about Japan in this film is related to culture, not race. We today might disagree with the opinions put forth by the film about Japanese culture, but culture and race are not the same thing (though they are intertwined in many cases). Thus, negative comments about a culture, however unfair or ignorant such comments may be, should not be equated with racism.
I’d fully understand the racism then anyways; same goes for hating the Italians and Germans... They were enemies, so therefore you don’t respect them.

Nice to see a documentary video about Japan during WW2 by the US.
WW2 Japan = North Korea
Hirohito = Kim jong un (Motto : Tenhou heika banzai , Kim jong man se)
Shinto = Juche (Leader based religion)
Mount Fuji = Mount Paektusan
Battleship yamato = Taepodong ICBM (Weapon of national icon)
Imperial Japanese forces = North Korean people Armed forces (Both of them are serve for their only master , not protect their country citizens )
Zeroes = Mig's
Arisakas = AK's
Leader is everything
Both of them opposing western democracy and belief of freedom by their excuses e.g. western moral wasn't fit for asians (sorry japan, this was the reason you failed.)
People are basically slaves or mechanical screws of their national war machine
Media was completely under control by government (Old NHK and Asahi news/KCNA), newspapers were distributed by official agencies
Propaganda was common from posters to tv shows
Patriotism and Pan-nationalism education was the major school subject
Unbalanced military budget (Japan had strongest navy but have the weakest army ; North korea had strongest army and have many ballistic missiles but their 'navy' was the weakest in entire asian continent)
Both of them using outdated military strategy (Japan = WW1 ; North korea = Cold war era)
Both suffered severe starvation and malnutrition
Western religion was banned
Both have a big boss (Nazi germany and PRC)
Harsh slave labor system (North korea had labor camp)
Unable to survive when outside supply was completely cut off (North korea was secretly supported by PRC)
Couldn't agree more. North Korea is a criminal regime which must be dealt with.
PeriscopeFilm North korea was a well known criminal regime despite it doesn't invade south korea.
Japan was democratic during ww2. Not too different from the USA buddy
Big difference tho. Japan didnt bother rattling any sabre. they went ahead with plunging a bayonet into china, then the United States with aspirations of world conquest. NK is only doing what NK has always done soon after new presidential elections. Pitch a temper tantrum .. Thats basically what it is, a temper tantrum. Like a child in a store with its mother having a meltdown because she refuses to buy it some candy or a toy.
It’s different because the belief of the divine origin of the emperor is part of ancient Shinto and therefore much easier to believe if no one in living memory had ever believed otherwise... also no one would dream of handling the hirohitos uncovered picture unlike Korea where it’s literally mandatory to keep pictures of the leader. When he appeared on the front page of TIME magazine the Japanese government filed an official complaint with the US government. Also North Korea was a communist country whereas japan was basically untapped extreme capitalism. Japan also never considered Germany a big brother in fact the Japanese empire at its height was larger than the nazis. And they killed almost as many if not more .. we have no way of really knowing the death toll in China due to the country being so huge but it could be easily anywhere between 20-30 million there’s no real way of knowing. This was mainly due to Tojos three all’s policy In china - loot all burn all , KILL ALL this was aimed at civilian families not soldiers. North Korea has done a lot of evil shit but it hasn’t reached the point of nazis or imperial japan just yet. The extent of the murder and brutality of the Japanese army during ww2 is really quite unique and quite extraordinary- literally everywhere they occupied there were horrific scenes of brutality not just ahain soldiers but local civilians women and children.. they would rape them torture them and kill them in horrific ways .. ppl who had done really nothing at all.
Imagine if someone made a propaganda and training video today if we are at war, they would use TikTok songs and techniques on making it hahaha

I watch this before visiting Japan. I am now very confused.
Japan has never yet quite come to terms with its terrible record in WW2. Its all very well to say this documentary is racist. But look at it as a record of the feelings of the times. Retrospective judgement is an easy Mark.

"Believed that they were destined to dominate the Pacific." Sounds a lot like manifest destiny...
History is written by the winners. The US and the UK tried to do exactly the same thing. Only difference is that they won. Even today a country can't so much as buy weapons from America's enemies without getting put on a sanctions blacklist.
there's certainly a difference between expansion happening during the 19th century and the 20th century and how citizens in every country viewed it, especially given the fact that 20-30 million civilians died between the period between 1931-1945 which absolutely trumps the number of natives that may have perished during some periods of western expansion
@@rayyy6523 that 'may have perished'?? Anyway you totally sidestepped the point the OP made. The comment was regarding the concept of manifest destiny as it relates to Japans belief they had the right to rule the Pacific.

Actually F*cking how?
