I hope you enjoy it ! The audio sounds a bit weird from time to time (apologies), I had to record it under special circumstances
first video of yours ive watched.
im impressed at your basic background knowledge of history, so that the events in context are more meaningful to you.
in simple terms
you see a documentary
not an action movie
Bravo!
Ace is 5. We just lost "Bud" Anderson on the 17th, a triple Ace P-51 pilot with 16 kills. He was 102 years old. His Mustang was named "Old Crow".
Thank you for this, I did not know about him may he rest in peace
Insane story. Love this guys storytelling abilities. World class
Hell yeah!
Is it just me as an army soldier. This is the first French man we love. Show him love guys.
Thank you very much 🫡
A good American soldier should love the Marquis de Lafayette too.
never
I’ve always been amazed at how Japan could misunderstand Americans so badly, that they thought attacking Pearl Harbor would keep us out of the war. I can’t think of a better example of not knowing your enemy. Only the man with the famous quote had any idea of who he was dealing with.❤️🐝🤗
That's very true. I think here we are dealing with a mix of endoctrination, racists bias, and a lack of understanding of the US willingness to fight. Also a lack of proper coordination between the various branches within the Japanese government, an army in pursuit of its personal agenda, and so on. Thank you very much :)
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Yes, absolutely! And you’re welcome❤️🐝🤗
What a triple treat for me today? It's Friday, my favorite history channel watching one of my favorite content creators, could life get any better? What a story! Never underestimate marines and ticked off construction workers! I love how he tells a story, this was a time to need a morale boost and boy did they come through. Thank you as always for the video and commentary, happy Friday everyone, a safe and fun weekend
Thank you very much, what kind of metal are these guys made of? Have a very nice weekend 😀
The quote was from his Dan Daly Bio...
Thank you for the precision!
My grandfather made it through it. I had to piece stuff together after he passed. I just cant watch this video. But im sure its good.
Wake Island (1942) was a great film! I watched it on DVD and it wasn't bad at all despite being made in the middle of World War II.
Thank you, I am curious about it now!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn You should look up the battle on the internet, watch a documentary called Wake Island: Alamo of the Pacific, or there's a video made by The Operations Room you can watch.
Fun fact. The last vessel to leave Wake Island before the Japanese attack was the Tugboat Arthur Foss -
it was under weigh between Wake and Hawaii when it learned of the attack.
It is still afloat as a museum vessel in Seattle, Washington, USA.
Thank you for this information, I love this small stories!
More additional informative commentary on your part. Subscribed. Edit: If someone can suggest to you a good video on Bir Hakeim, I'd enjoy hearing your comments.
Thank you! I am considering doing a video on my own on Bir Hakeim :)
"I guess this is kind of embarrassing for you."
Stop giving the British credit for the art of understatement, immediately.
😅
My favor video of his is “the most gangster marine”
I'll react to that one too for sure 😀
@@ToonStory-fh4gn anything he's done, but America's Secret Underground Cheese Bunkers, The Most Gangster Politician of All Time
A US pilot is considered an "ace" once he or she destroys 5 or more enemy aircrafts.
Thanks!
Wow fantastic,woke the sleeping gaint,may that just fills you with dread.
Nobody came to help them,an they fought on,believing they would be killed anyway,that's a powerful motivator.
An two planes against 50,unbelievable an they shot down over twenty enemy planes.
This would make a fantastic movie.
Also I agree with the fat electrician I would of kept the rugs too.
Fantastic video again my French friend,your content is amazing.
Thank you very much, I'd keep the rugs too! And these marines a freaking beasts
Yes an loosing officers doesn't hinder them,they just fight harder,very impressive.
And if you ever read about this place this island and another American territory Guam is so remote that in the pre-war years when it was used by Pan American airlines the only entertainment that they had for passengers when they did layovers was literally renting pellet rifles and shooting rats
Bushido in imperial Japan after the Meiji Restoration was presented very differently than it was in feudal Japan: Whereas in imperial Japan it was very much a tool of propaganda to condition soldiers in "proper" battlefield conduct, classical bushido was more in line with the code of chivalry in Europe; it was not a code of battlefield conduct, but of conduct _period._ It included the battlefield, but also social etiquette, ritual etiquette, religious conduct, and so on.
I'm sure you have in your mind of how a French knight was supposed to conduct himself whether he was on the battlefield or in the king's palace; bushido _should_ be presented like that.
Additionally, something I find interesting is that Yamamoto also said after Pearl Harbor, paraphrased, "I expect to conduct myself as I please for six months or perhaps one year, but after that, defeat is all but inevitable." Six months to the day after he said that was the Battle of Midway, generally accepted as the point where the war had decisively turned against Japan.
The way I understand Bushido is that it's a generic term to describe a way of behaving for members of the same warrior class. A bit like the French chivalry, and both have been heavily romanticised and exaggerated in culture but are nevertheless based on solid facts.
I really like The Shogunate's videos on the subject.
Thanks for the insightful comment!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Exactly.
Bushido and chivalry are beloved by authors because it sets a pretty stage for books and movies, but much of it is pure fantasy.
Warriors fight. Winning and staying alive are what they care about first and foremost. Second comes plunder and status.
On the horizon...over that way...look past the field littered with the personal concerns of each individual, the chain of command and military discipline...there. Do you see it?
If you squint you can discern the outline of Bushido and Chivalry clasping hands in the gathering darkness.
The imperial Japanese did sign the Geneva convention, if I remember correctly. *but they never abide with it.*
Worst of all, they got away with their war crimes (thanks to America)
There is a series on Netflix about the post-war trial of Japanese officials called ‘Tokyo Trial’. Quite interesting if I remember correctly, and highlights the legal difficulties of trying high ranking officials. Plus the geopolitical stakes of quickly turning Japan back into an ally effectively. Thank you very much!

Hey Frenchy! Really loving your videos. It's cool to have a different perspective on some of these lesser-known historical situations and figures. That said, I think many people underestimate how restrained the US military truly is and how short the leash is that holds these weapons and warriors in check. They're professionals, no doubt, but small doses of their effectiveness can be terrifying. I'd like to request you review this video if you think it would fit with your audience - th-cam.com/video/viuUzGGac5M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pl72TkmLj9umpWno
Thank you very much! Ok it's interesting, I'll try to have a look even thought I am really not an expert but I might learn a thing or two!
7:30 The worst Defeat and you are part of a country that has one of the strongest sentiments for "Victory or Death" the soldiers would rather die in battle then retreat especially towards the end of the war(thats the main reason for US dropping the bombs that people always conveniently leave out when talking about that subject"
9:00 yes "forced into a war" in the combat perspective but the US was supplying the allies long before japan attacked, and are also the ones that empowered japan to want to expand.
I had to google to double check but Japan signed the Geneva Convention in 1929.
Epic History has just released a new video about Napoleon’s Coup of 1799 will you react to it
Of course!
