My grandpa served in the US Navy from 1937 - 1945 and fought in almost every major Pacific naval battle after Pearl Harbor, all the way to Okinawa. He even had his destroyer sunk by a kamikaze in the South Pacific and watched his crewmates get devoured by mako sharks. He did, however, forgive the Japanese and visited Japan several times before he passed away. He was very proud of me when I was in high school for learning Japanese, because he felt like his wartime experience led to healing. Just, you know, for the record.
I can't imagine how the Mariana Islands' Governor must have felt. "Good news Billy, you have done a hell of a job with these 50k people you've been managing, we're giving you a wider responsibility" "Oh thank you Emporer, I live to serve" "Here's all of the Soviet Union to police, and I'm sending you no troops or equipment, have fun!" "....."
For UK do the Ultimate Federation playthrough: Fascist Britain, conquer USA, give it to Canada who can get cores on it, then form Imperial Federation, then form European Union (because Mosely can do that). Meaning you get cores on Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, some of South Africa, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy.
Hoi4s logic is perfect. Why wouldn’t the Japanese reform the confederacy in Florida, that was the historically accurate plan alongside Japanese Netherlands!
I just did the sunset invasion achievement and finished it before war even broke out in Europe. Germany is gonna be real lost when they try to invade Russia and everyone is speaking Japanese.
2 of my great-grandpas fought the Japanese in WWII. The one who invaded Iwo Jima and burned them to death with a flamethrower, actually really liked the Japanese after and bought a lot of watches and cameras from them. The one who was a gunner in a B-25 did NOT like the Japanese though, even in the 80's he refused to ride in any Toyota or Nissan cars out of principal.
I know you probably won’t see this comment ISP, but I just wanted to say thank you for the content. I’m going through a hard time right now, and your videos are really helping me through it
@UCqf7s1Hj3QynCqokkFn0iOg Oh no, it's one of those guys that lack empathy and don't realize that people are having a bad time even though they explicitly stated it and act like a fucking morron.
why is this phrased exactly like the top comment about Latvia? No really it is word-for-word identical with the only difference being Tanna Tuva replaces Latvia
8:27 The Japanese actually did the same thing in real life They lied and told Pu-yi he would be the emperor of China but were actually working with a collaboration government in China led by Wang Jing Wei
When I played this strat, I left the axis after defeating allies, to create the coprosperity sphere, but got insta aggroed by titler. So I had to finish by China and finally all majors were defeated before Pearl harbour irl date Very funny game, 10/10 would recommend it
It constantly amazes me how HoI4 encourages players to mess around with alternate history paths, but at the same time makes no allowance for anything ahistorical happening. No condition on the Panay incident to check that the US isn't a puppet. No bypass on the Bypass/Invade the Philippines focuses.
Liberia actually has 2 great mods. One is just called Liberia+ and the other is called Hearts of Darkness. They are both fun and expand Liberian gameplay
Remember when you said when you get to 645K subs, you will go to Honduras on road56 to do the Banana republic. Well you lasted it, we’re wait ISP, we’r waiting
When he started the video with bonjour I almost lost my shit since I was using a VPN and it was being used from Paris. Because before the video I was watching a french add.
Hey ISP, long-time subscriber of October 22, 2021. You said you read all your comments so I'd thought I'd ask how your fitness is going with the continuing pandemic.
"but if i acknowledge Tibet i'll never be allowed into China" I think you might have already crossed that one ISP...with the whole uh... Japanese China thing
When you get to Latvia, you should play Reworked Latvia mod. It makes it fun and has good national focuses!
its a best mod for Latvia, play it my self would recommend
i think at that point No Step Back exists.*
you see theres a little problem its fun
We’re about to get a focus tree for all the Baltics, I don’t think he’s going to want to play Latvia twice
Or wait for no step back
Hey Isorrow, I notice a distinct lack in political leaders with laser eyes in your thumbnails. Is everything ok mate?
Yeah where are they
They are all killing themselves
He Did Make L o n g Neck Hirohito
@@empireofitalypsstimfromano5025 that’s true. long necc hirohito is pretty funny but what if he has LASER EYES too?
he has grown up
Hey ISP, you should tag switch over to Italy after you killed Germany, and send that game into Alex to try and save.

its a great story, and your grandfather was a brave man
He was probably mainly speaking to local Asian people tho
Japanese is a great language!
Holy based
Did your grandpa serve on USS Indianapolis? If so, that must've been big

Thus founding the Commonwealth of Man and leading directly into Stellaris

That's not more accurate than the Marianan provisional government of the Soviet Union
11:22 that cry of “you bastard!” is absolutely hilarious

Chinese general: Everyone run.
I just did the sunset invasion achievement and finished it before war even broke out in Europe. Germany is gonna be real lost when they try to invade Russia and everyone is speaking Japanese.
8:27 - They did that in real life. Pu Yi was sitting there watching the Japanese put Wang Jingwei in charge with great Qing blueballs.
Every time Hirohito successfully invaded and conquered a country, he grows a chin
Ah so you’re saying his chin-chin grows?

3:55 How did ISP know that we are just a singular hive mind? I thought men weren’t supposed to know about that!
When you get to Tannu Tuva, you should play Reworked Tannu Tuva mod. It makes it fun and has good national focuses!

Something about this video activated my inner swedishness. I now feel a strong distaste for the danish for some reason.
8:27 The Japanese actually did the same thing in real life
They lied and told Pu-yi he would be the emperor of China but were actually working with a collaboration government in China led by Wang Jing Wei
I love how after you capitulated the Germans, Italy had the Genoese lands in the Kuban from EU4. It had really come full circle.
I've waited so long for this... rockin my History Boy hoodie with some ISorrowDepression Japan gameplay... My thursday keeps getting better and BETTER
New trailer just dropped, already hyped for railgun only
When I played this strat, I left the axis after defeating allies, to create the coprosperity sphere, but got insta aggroed by titler. So I had to finish by China and finally all majors were defeated before Pearl harbour irl date
Very funny game, 10/10 would recommend it
His did you manage to join the axis so early? I get a reluctancy of -350 because of the distance
The Dawn of Hentai is the alt history we deserve
Yes that is
@S O F I A I hate you bot
@Mr. Pecker's Finnish knife adoration society so true
@Mr. Pecker's Finnish knife adoration society Yeah, minus the axis element.
For some reason I have an undying hatred for Danish TH-camrs now...
And one in particular but I can't quite think of why.
Can’t wait for you to play tannu tuva
Tannu who?
World conquest
3:53
I've never been personally addressed in a TH-cam Video before
*insert spiderman pointing meme*
Can't wait for the next video surely to be titled: _The Most Overpowered Country in Hoi4 - Latvia_
ISP is slowly losing his mind with every video
its entertaining to watch tho
fax
It’s like nikado avocado but instead of food ruining his life it’s paradox games
It constantly amazes me how HoI4 encourages players to mess around with alternate history paths, but at the same time makes no allowance for anything ahistorical happening.

Take a shot every time ISP says “you cheeky little thing”
When you get to the Solomon Islands, you should play Reworked Solomon Islands mod. It makes it fun and has good national focuses!
11:22 that has to be the best pronouncination of BASTARD I've ever heard
3:33 Just wanted to note, if you justify on a puppet, they should ALWAYS end up in the peace deal, even if they did nothing.
Yeah, but then you can only puppet them.
If you want to annex, you need to invade (or maybe just fight one of their divisions)
(ISP rating his favourite nations)
I like em with a singular leader.
I like em big.
I like the army huge.
I like the genocide potential high.
3:53 it’s me!! I’m the smart girl!
8:14 Love that Greece s leader is named Metaxa
Liberia actually has 2 great mods. One is just called Liberia+ and the other is called Hearts of Darkness. They are both fun and expand Liberian gameplay
YAY ISP RELASES NEW VIDEO. ONE STEP CLOSER TO URUGUAY!
yes
that was quick! two damn spammers!
This got to be one the best HOI4 videos I've seen
7:48 Had that conversation. Can confirm.
Anime land will take over, EVERYTHING.
@S O F I A Gosh! Get the f out!
Hey guys,quickly,prepare the overpowered mod for Tannu Tuva,we still hace time
every day this man descends more and more into insanity
True that
That deserved a sub, I'm not going to lie
Just wanna say that Latvia has a very nice focus tree in Rt56
to the British naval invasion's a quote from Tom Howard "It just works"
2:30 skip ads
ah yes my favourite slavic country of *Japanese Mariana Islands*
7:30 'Honorable accidental discharge'
Remember when you said when you get to 645K subs, you will go to Honduras on road56 to do the Banana republic. Well you lasted it, we’re wait ISP, we’r waiting
-Conquers Mongolia
-Doesn't give it immediately to Menjiang, despite the fact it was created as a rival Mongolian government to Soviet Mongolia.
5:53 - Canada takes Detroit. My grandfather died fighting Canadians or Imperial Japanese in this timeline.
I am a simple man, I see A2Z, I watch, I cream, I hate Bokohen1
Every day, I tune in to be called a gravy baby. This gives me a feeling of power.
Ah yes, Japnese USA, thumbnail 10/10
9:12
Alright, who gave the Necronomicon to some Juan Dela Cruz.
An undying love of Bokoen1? Sure I can do that ISP
I’m so happy Florida is still alive
When he started the video with bonjour I almost lost my shit since I was using a VPN and it was being used from Paris. Because before the video I was watching a french add.
Anime land will take over, EVERYTHING. (Always wondered me why most hoi4 players liked anime).
Japanese Austria, never thought I'd See the day
"...smart boys and... girl..."
Damn isorrows, you didn't need to call me out like that
i've seen this anime before.. I think its called, world war 2..
3:55 im so happy im noticed :D
Glad to see Florida survived the whole video
Япония с упором на авиацию и флот??😳😳
You can preorder No Step Back as of today, just wanted to let you all know.
Thanks to ISP I have fallen in love with Bokoen1
When you play the Soviet union try to time it with the release so that your video on the new focus tree can count for the Hoi4 AZ
11:22 me when my friend invades japan in later year and takes them as puppet but i have done all the work as soviets
Instructions received, destroy Denmark protocol activated, launching naval invasion on Guatemala.
1:44 When North Korea is also a country where you can SURFSHARK URSELF
I never thought hearing iSorrow mention Chester by name would be the highlight of my day
👏 thank you, genuinely
And the fact he not only mentioned him by name, he even was respectful for it
Germans: Die in Russia only to have their homeland invaded by Japan.
Japan: Anyway you're going back in.
HE SAID IT HE SAID IT HE CALLED US HIS GRAVY BABIES
Oh lord what has he done to me?!
Best faction name ever for japan.
Given my new-found hatred for Bokoen1, your failure to invade Denmark leaves me no choice but to dislike this video.
Yea, I look forward to these videos a little too much at this point, also this guy needs to stream if he doesn’t already
I always love all the References he makes
Hey ISP, long-time subscriber of October 22, 2021. You said you read all your comments so I'd thought I'd ask how your fitness is going with the continuing pandemic.
NO STEP BACK HAS REALEASED
As one wise man once said, BENZAI
Didn't expect to have my almonds activated today, like some kind of iSorrowCandidate
That was a good intro. I didn't even know I had an activation code. Good to know.
I had a snap back to reality moment when he said buon giorno
Fun fact: Florida man was the entire collab government
Cool idea, I rushed via Alaska then West coast when I did something similar
When battotai and over there plays in the distance and you're great britain:
The girl is me, lmfao
Really hope you use Kaiserredux when playing Mongolia
Ryan george: our timeline is the dumbest timeline
This timeline:
At least No Step Back comes out Nov. 23, so maybe the Soviet Union will have an actual focus tree
Imagine complaining about the soviet unions focus tree
*stares at italy*
D-Day:
On 8th of December 1938 the Japanese troops landed in Normandy to unliberate France
Hey ISP, when you get to Mongolia, you should try the "Order of Temüjin" mod
its a bit...well...very wacky, but Mongolia is OP in it
@Merly Rosé 🍑🍒 Yes i love Mongolia too
After hearing the intro, I now have an intense love for Bokoen1
I got a spontaneous headache when he mentioned Bokoen.
I think it's working
"but if i acknowledge Tibet i'll never be allowed into China"
I think you might have already crossed that one ISP...with the whole uh... Japanese China thing
