THE PACIFIC WAR - Japan versus the US | Full Documentary
It was a bitter fight for supremacy in Asia. Japan had provoked the US in the Pacific War. The Second World War now spanned the entire globe. The two naval nations competed against each other on the world’s largest ocean and fought battles on an unprecedented scale.
In the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Japanese bombers destroy most of the American Pacific fleet within hours and kill 2,500 U.S. soldiers. The surprise military strike is intended to help secure Japan's supremacy in the Eastern Pacific. It is the beginning of the Pacific War, which only comes to an end after the atomic bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the summer of 1945. The WELT documentary reconstructs its course using mostly color original footage.

No matter how many of these documentaries I watch, I always learn something new each time.
Well,documentaries are for that.
Because there is more to history than racial injustices… sorry, I’m pissed, my professor hovered over WWII
What new things u learnt
If you aren't learning something everyday then you really need to re evaluate where your life is--that's what I was taught
The world governments of today don't learn anything, if they do, they'll be more interested in peace than war. WW2 is the mother of most of the world conflicts we're living with today. War never pays.
My grandpa served under the 5th marine division during the assault on Iwo Jima, luckily he made it home okay and got to serve in Korea and Vietnam. He lived a long and happy life, and continues to be a huge inspiration for me.
your grandpa is good
Semper Fi grandpa
Did he told you how he survived?
Wow, your grandpa must have been a glutton for punishment! Salute to him.
Salute
Thank you America for liberating the Filipinos during desperate years of war.❤We are fortunate to have you on our side.
日本じゃ無かったんだね、、、
I did a rotation to the Philippines a few years ago (the rotation was called "Balikatan '08") at Ft. Magsaysay in Luzon. I got to work with the Philippine Army and still am in contact with their commanding officer. It was a PRIVILEGE to work with the Philippine Army. I taught them mortars, and they were outstanding students. We only had one interpreter, so we had to improvise to overcome the language barrier, but mortars are mostly math, and math is the universal language. We actually could have by-passed the Philippines during WW2, but we had a moral obligation to expel the Japanese from your country (and everywhere else, for that matter). On behalf of the people of the United States, I want to apologize for the 100,000 dead during the Philippine Insurrection. We didn't have a choice; the Moros were brutal. In fact, the Moros were why we switched from .38 caliber revolvers to .45 caliber auto pistols.
I have two grandfathers who fought during world war II, unfortunately they didn't make it through the war. I am very proud of them for fighting for our country. 😊
Please allow me to give you and your grandfathers the highest respect，my friend.

No matter how many of these documentaries I watch.....i still cant get enough to satisfy my addiction to historical content.
I understand, but sadly the occupants of this day and time want to erase history so the young won’t be able to know about the past. They want the benefit of the blood our fathers and grandfathers shed . But without the respect or acknowledgment of the cost..their arrogance and ignorance is part of an invasion of a different kind . It’s been launched against our country from the hate from the countries that wish us out of the picture. And they ride in on the coat tails of a party that created hate from way back like the kkk . If they can’t control? Then scorched earth policy is and always has been their norm. What our blood bought, they give it away to anyone other than our descendants of the ones that paid the price for their future blood. The only disadvantage for these control freaks is? When u have control and ur not strong enough to pay the price? Eventually ull get walked over an lose ur freedoms. That’s why they’re gonna lose their grip and run out of the control they’ve had . If ww2 had been fought in this day an time of don’t hurt my feeling weak beings of today? U woulda seen a different history that was ruled by Japan and Germany both.
Same here, Even though I've mostly moved past WWII this is still interesting to watch.
@@CrossOfBayonne yeah I've mostly moved on from ww2 as well....lately I been mostly interested in ww1 and Korean War
I never get tired of biblical history.
My Filipina grandmother told me that she was 15 when the Americans retook the Philippines. She told me the medics were worried about her, made sure she was ok, and gave her father medication, food, and chocolate, and told them everything was going to be ok. Up until the day she died, she had tears in her eyes when talking about how much she loved Americans. Her brother (they both moved to California) flew an American flag in front of his house until he died.
Americans killed way more Filipinos than the Japanese ever did. Are you really Filipino? Never heard of the American Filipino war?
Wasnt she ever mad abt the phillipine-american war?
@@Bam07676 well Filipino -american war did do some chaos across Philippines during that time but I do believe that the reason behind that is the cowardness of our 1st president who did nothing but to wait for American to start invading them,
THIS WAS WHEN AMERICA WAS GREAT , NOT BECAUSE AMERICA WAS WINNING THE WAR , BUT RATHER THE INDIVIDUALS ACTUALLY HAD MORALS , IMPORTANT VALUES AND CARED . YOUR PRIORITIES WERE NOT CENTERED ON MONEY AND PROFIT , NOT LIKE TODAY , AMERICA CAN STILL WIN WARS BUT YOU'VE LOST ALL THE MOST VALUABLE ASSETS THAT MADE AMERICAN GREAT TRUMP COULDN'T MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN , BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS VALUABLE HE BELIEVES IT TO BE MONEY AND POWER AMERICA DOESN'T EVEN LOOK AFTER ITS OWN ANYMORE , TO BUSY MAKING $$$ AND SEEKING POWER SO SAD SO LONG AMERICA
we were too weak to fight our 1st president helped by gurilla warfare he was evacuated by the americans
Salute to the American groups from Germany. Your grand and grand-grand fathers were heroes. Not only you defeated Hitler and held the great, fair and modern Nürnberg trials, you helped building a new nation, compared to the communist and totalitarian part of Germany under Russia. We today can not remotely imagine how your grand fathers dealt with inhuman living conditions during the war and their brave behaviour, putting their life’s in danger for a country on the other side of the ocean. Thank you for your service to all current and former participants of the mighty US military.
Were it not for our Allies we'd have accomplished little. Thank you, much love from the US.
Much love from America!
Being half filipino and half japanese, this is one of the most important history that excites me to watch and review because my grandfather was a former great guerilla. And my grandma always tell me real stories about these war days and how they survived the war . Goosebumps everytime

This does not deserve the name of a documentary. At that time, there were no “countries” such as Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Vietnam is a French territory, Indonesia is a Dutch territory, the Philippines is an American territory, and Malaysia is a British territory. The real invaders are the cruel Christian whites. As evidence of this, after the defeat of the Japanese Empire, the white army began to invade Southeast Asia again. However, the remaining Japanese soldiers and the independence army raised by the Japanese army fought against the white invaders. This is the case outside the Philippines. During the War of Independence, evil people were putting Japan on trial for "crimes of aggression in Asia."
i thanked america for helping philippines.. it s a lifetime unending gratitude
Me too, coming from an Aussie
Since I was in elementary days back in the 90's I was so obsessed reading and learning every history books that I can read...I remember when I was in 1st year in high school which is grade 7 now... I've already read the history books that 3rd year (grade 9)was studying...even now I always watching about history.. especially about war...my favorite was The Battle of Midway..the Doolittle raid..the battle of Omaha Beach... Battle of bulge... especially the battle of Leyte gulf ( the liberation of my country from IJN) Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Life of Alexander the Great I love a video like this... Thanks to all the brave man who fought and gave their life for the freedom and democracy that we live on now.....
As a Filipino, I can't thank the US enough for helping us get through that. SALUTE to the soldiers who fought bravely for our country, Filipinos and Americans alike.~!
From everything my Granpa's generation taught me, the Filipino's were the bravest allies the US could have possibly asked for. God bless your brave people and I hope our countries work together for the rest of our days!

I am British and ashamed of our empire. The Americans have modelled themselves on us. You need to know more history. Mt home is now in the Philippines and I hope to be home before July of 2022. Keep in touch and learn more history, some of which is not known. Ingat.
As a Filipino currently living in Japan, I can’t comprehend how this tragedy ever happened. Tears pooled my eyes as I am watching this documentary film and it broke my heart into million pieces. I am really hoping there will be no war to happen ever again.
It will, unfortunately. It says so in the Bible. Whether we're here to see another world War, depends on if you're saved. The battle of Armageddon is closer than we think.

Today's Japan is not WWII's Japan. Nonetheless, they are allies against the CCP menace. I will not feel sorry for the Chinese if Japan attacks today!
Interesting, you wrote this after the invasion of Ukraine started.
Maybe it wasn't necessary ... However, Japan's position is the same as this line of Rambo. 『They drew first blood, not me.』… 🔷 May 3, 1946 (Showa 21), in Tokyo. Former US President Herbert Hoover and Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers MacArthur discussed "what exactly was the Pacific War" for three days. At that time, Hoover said something that no Japanese would have thought of ... "The Pacific War is not a war started by Japan. That American "madman Roosevelt" Caused a war between Japan and the United States. It's not a mental illness to say that he is crazy, He really wanted to go to war ... The result of that desire was the US-Japan War. " Upon hearing the words, MacArthur clearly agreed ... ⬛Stop the expression sneak attack! Japan has been observing the world situation well since the Edo period From Japan's point of view, they are the thieves who borrowed the names of missionaries and trade. Japan was dangerous about the desire to control foreign powers Their purpose is to squeeze, take over, and finally enslave Japan's property. The content that was being discussed in the US Congress was exactly the same as the sense of crisis in Japan. It just made it dangerous for Russia's reddening (communism) to move south ... that is because security for Japan and its neighbors Why do they believe in such stupid recommendations from the United Nations to Japan, stigmatization as invaders or war criminals, their wearing justice masks? I don't know what it means ... I'd like to give a bad impression that Japan started a war with Russia, but there should have been no crime that "started a war" under international law at that time ... Such a thing was made by the United States to judge Japan ... The United States is still "Remember ○○ Remember ○○" America doing big war business by advertising that ... You guys aren't qualified to talk about Japan. 😊 ⬛No country is as misunderstood as Japan in our perception. In fact, the opposite is true ... The Chinese army is known to the most barbaric Taiwanese and Hong Kongers Soviet army too😊 Today's Koreans also hide their cruelty in the Korean army ... Their history always says bad things about others and blames them, They want to believe that they are pure victims ... We really want you to stop the annoying bullshit. 😊 They have the bad hobby For some reason, they made only unrealistic anti-Japanese comedy movies ... They always believe that Japan is inferior to them Much of their culture comes from Japan, and counterfeit products are at the same level as China. Incorporating that supposedly inferior culture is clearly self-contradictory, but ... On the contrary, for the pride of the people, raising the country saying "We taught Japan" Using Japan for business It ’s only their achievement ... At the end of the phrase, even Japan's cooperation and technical support It seems that they have grown up believing in them as the pride of Koreans since they were children ... But when they learn that this economic development is not their own independence ... They started to say "war criminal companies" It's really stupid things ... This is South Korea, which has been telling Japan to "learn history." Of course, Japanese cooperation was removed from the textbook Great buildings built under Japanese rule were destroyed. Such movements in Japan and the United States may look the same, but ... I don't want you to misunderstand It is completely different that the statue was dragged down by reviewing the history of the black movement ... It is said that both the United States and South Korea happened when their own historical lies were revealed ... Obviously, It's not Japan's problem This is what they call anti-Japanese psychosis Because South Korea's founding philosophy is anti-Japanese ... They foster a distorted patriotism It ’s pitiful to break the truth too much. So why do they like to embrace inferior Japanese culture and maximize their travel destinations to Japan, which should be hell ... And Koreans, who are said to have a crime rate six times higher than Japan, The conscientious Japanese are also pitiful who have been deceived & used by their history.
"They strapped old, Japanese friendship-medals to their bombs, as a greeting to the enemy." Damn, that's cold. 😂
Filipinos aided US troops and gave their lives helping us during WW2, our countries have been close for over 100 years. God bless the people of the Filipinos .

I was able to go to the memorial in Leyte where McArthur landed when he came back to the Philippines before the whole pandemic situation. It gave me goosebumps when I stood there on the same spot where US soldiers and Filipino guerillas forces stood and fought side by side against the Japanese troops.
And forget the US probably massacred more fillipinos during their conquest against spain than the japanese.

What our boys sacrificed in both theaters was incredible and some paid the ultimate price for victory. I'm glad there is still interest in our greatest victory, everyone that served in the struggle for freedom is a hero and I'm proud to be an American.
i was raised around vets of WW 1 and WW2, i'm so glad that I was .These men didn't talk much about war but they did talk about one's duty to country responsibility is the flip side of freedom.

At the beginning of the 1941 Pacific War, the Japanese Navy's battleships, aircraft carriers, and fighters were the most powerful in the world. Also, on December 10, 1941, the British battleship Repulse Bay, Prince of Wealth, was sunk in just 20 minutes. It was the first time in the world to make full use of the MTF by an aircraft carrier as a tactic. It was overwhelmingly strong in the world. The United States was impatient. The United States has fossil fuel resources and the factory's production capacity was extremely high, so it imitated the Japanese Navy and formed an aircraft carrier task force. However, at the time of the Battle of Midway in 1942, the Japanese Navy was overwhelmingly superior to the US Navy in terms of the number and scale of battleships of the Japanese Navy and the performance of aircraft carriers. Furthermore, Japan was overwhelmingly superior to the United States in the skill level of the crew of fighters and bombers. Both the Japanese and the US knew that fact, so the US was desperate, the order issued by the Japanese Navy headquarters to the fleet was to annihilate the US fleet in the Battle of Midway and return the Japanese fleet unharmed. was. Moreover, while the aircraft carrier of the ally was fighting, 300 battleships of the Japanese Navy were waiting hundreds of kilometers behind, and the captains of each ship gathered at the flagship Yamato to play a chess tournament. Japan was licking the United States. In fact, General Yamamoto was connected to the United States. Yamamoto intentionally lost. Japan, which suffered severe damage, will have an advantage on the US side after this battle. The following year, Yamamoto regrets, keenly aware of his responsibility and commits suicide using an aircraft. Japan, which has no resources such as fossil fuels, could not enter oil and could not use aircraft, etc., and was gradually attacked by the United States. After that, Japan fought alone with the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, Australia, etc., but the Soviet Union, which had signed an inviolable treaty against the weakened Japan, broke the treaty and attacked. is. This has become fatal. The Japanese government was preparing to receive the Potsdam Declaration. So the United States didn't have to use the atomic bomb. The United States just wanted to test the effects of the atomic bomb.

I know it's a bit late now but I wish I could see the process of building the Yamato for the Imperial Japanese fleet. Absolute beast of a ship.
And a sweet waifu too.
Unfortunately Japan kept its construction very very tightly guarded from photos/videos on the ground
Want to know about Yamato, go to the Drachinifel channel on you tube. Best naval historian around.
No mention of the US Submarines that sank 55% of all Japanese merchant ships and about 30% of the Japanese Navy. Submarines sank their fuel, their iron ore, their rubber and much food. Submarines starved their troops and denied them reinforcements and resupply. US Submarines had the highest attrition rate of any branch of any US military service in WW II just under 25% of all submariners died with their subs.

It's very American centric, they don't even mention any other combatants in the Pacific
First of all, I have to say that there is only one fact. After World War I, Japan proposed a bill to eliminate racial discrimination in the League of Nations. However, at that time, African and Asian countries such as Britain, the Netherlands, France, and the Soviet Union were colonized and exploited. The United States was also aiming for China because it wanted Asian interests. Since Europe does not want to give up its interests, Europe has been rejected in opposition to the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination proposed by Japan. It was Japan that stood up and fought in such a white supremacist world situation. This is the truth, after World War II, the truth was dispelled from world history textbooks. It is easy to understand if you seriously investigate. Once again, Japan was defeated in World War II, but Japan's independence of the colony from Europe, which was the purpose of Japan's war, was successful as a result.

He was a Corporal in the 1st Marines, and his first battle out of 150 engagements with the Japanese was Guadalcanal ..

In honor of the people who died in the pacific campaign they should put a map based on it. "Leyte Gulf" or "Philippine Sea" maps should be added on the game.
Leyte was the largest in terms of shear number of ships involved and the enormous scale of the battle area. But most of the ships involved never saw each other. I think Jutland is still tops for number of ships slugging it out with each other in the same melee.
it wasn t actually, it was the 4th, behind he Battle of the Mediteranium, Scapa Flow and Salamis.
Depends on your definition of largest. Number of ships? Number of ships _and_ aircraft (which only matters for modern naval history)? Number of ships in combat? Combined displacement? Number of personnel?
@@andrewtaylor940 nope it leyete is the biggest naval battle in the history that is fact
Well put together
You have earned my sub my good Welt sir. I love your documentaries and have watched a good amount of them.
So nice good to watching 👍
Excellent recounting of WW2. Pearl Harbor was meant to be a knock out blow to the US but was actually the worst strategic blunder ever committed. It brought America into the war many months before we would have entered it, if ever. Public opinion in the states was overwhelmingly against US involvement in the war and we had not mobilized our industry for wartime production except for a limited number of companies. After Pearl Harbor, almost all Americans wanted Japan and the Axis ground into dust and were willing to do whatever that required. It became a patriotic duty to contribute to the war effort. Farmers, factory workers, laborers, and every other part of American society worked and sacrificed to arm and supply the troops. Many thought that Japan got off way too easily at the end of the war.
Certainly the Chinese and Manchurians thought they did.
I personally don't think that they got off lightly. For once the allied County's got it totally right in dealing with Japan and Germany. If you want a demonstration of how not to do it look at the end of ww1! Mostly France but UK and USA left Germany in such a demoralised state that it was inevitable that something like the Nazi's would come to power.
No shit Sherlock
Yes it's their mistake to involve USA in WW2. T
We could debate the what ifs forever (which is fine and interesting). My view is that the US would have become drawn in against Japan eventually, so from a Japanese standpoint it only make sense to attack if even to gain a temporary advantage. They had some bad assumptions about American morale and the long term capability of our industrial machine, to be sure, but if they wanted to build an empire that comes in contact with the US, the question would only be a question of "when". Japan needed resources and territories to be able to fight that, so they decided to gain as much as fhey could, and quickly. I think it was just an inevitability that the US war machine would eventually outstrip them. There's no way Japan could grow enough to equal our output.
This is amazing
Good job. Thanks
Finally a doc that tells the whole story
Remarkably good.
great thanks!
Pretty cool doc, no different from watching WW2 in Color documentary series several years ago in KZhead.
The California and Nevada were not double berthed at battleship row the Pennsylvania was in drydock and the repair ship vestal was berthed next to the Arizona
I'm not American, but it makes me so angry when I see people in the US disrespecting the flag and national anthem. My family would have surely died at the hands of the Japanese had thousands of American soldiers, airmen and sailors not fought and given their lives to defeat Japan. It's an absolute disgrace that Americans died to give them their freedoms and that's how they show their gratitude. Makes very very very angry.
Well maybe since you aren't American this will be news to you, but the flag represents all facets of the country, not just the military. So it is entirely possible for someone to not sing the national anthem as a protest of some perceived injustice within the country, and at the same time have the utmost respect for its military and the men and women that serve in it. American Flag =/= Military Only. In fact, the branches of military have their own flags that are just for them, but again, the stars and stripes represent the entirety of the country
The fight for freedom will go on for decades to come. The U.S. has been infiltrated by communists and socialists who spread propaganda and lies, and many people fall for it despite overwhelming proof that these are, at best failed or, at worst evil, governing systems.
@UC9__Delq30Hk3cwUYwqvBMw "@Increase please learn how the where and the national anthem" uhhh what?
The flag and national anthem do not equal the military. They represent the whole country and all aspects of it. So people disrespecting those two things as a form of protest is not disrespectful towards the military.
@@i_v-ro4of every time a soldier of the US goes into battle, the American flag is on their fatigues and draped over their coffins if they are killed. The star spangled banner was written by Francis Scott Key when British ships fired their cannons upon the flag at Fort McHenry , it did not fall because patriots held the flag up with their bodies, its symbolism more important than their lives. So yeah you can totally "protest" with those methods, just know that anybody that truly cherishes this country is likely to not be sympathetic.
"Midway" movie from netflix, before I watch it, my research bring me here. so good and detailed content. very nice.
これは非常に残酷な戦争です、地獄です
侵略した方は日本だから
Respect to Navy and army 🇯🇵🇺🇲
i love watching documentary about ww2..
Ako din😁
I’m 27 I had a great grandpa I never knew who was in the war. I hear stories I wanna learn, I don’t wanna let what these men fought for be forgotten!
Sadly seems not many ppl care 😢❤ ty for the information for me to watch once again bud°°
how the US was feeble at the start of the war but then become the No1 super power was truly remarkable - the old saying "they woke up a sleeping bear" is a understatement
Sleeping giant, but close enough
They lost cause they had more fear than courage and thats all cause they showed to much mercy
First of all, I have to say that there is only one fact. After World War I, Japan proposed a bill to eliminate racial discrimination in the League of Nations. However, at that time, African and Asian countries such as Britain, the Netherlands, France, and the Soviet Union were colonized and exploited. The United States was also aiming for China because it wanted Asian interests. Since Europe does not want to give up its interests, Europe has been rejected in opposition to the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination proposed by Japan. It was Japan that stood up and fought in such a white supremacist world situation. This is the truth, after World War II, the truth was dispelled from world history textbooks. It is easy to understand if you seriously investigate. Once again, Japan was defeated in World War II, but Japan's independence of the colony from Europe, which was the purpose of Japan's war, was successful as a result.
At the beginning of the 1941 Pacific War, the Japanese Navy's battleships, aircraft carriers, and fighters were the most powerful in the world. Also, on December 10, 1941, the British battleship Repulse Bay, Prince of Wealth, was sunk in just 20 minutes. It was the first time in the world to make full use of the MTF by an aircraft carrier as a tactic. It was overwhelmingly strong in the world. The United States was impatient. The United States has fossil fuel resources and the factory's production capacity was extremely high, so it imitated the Japanese Navy and formed an aircraft carrier task force. However, at the time of the Battle of Midway in 1942, the Japanese Navy was overwhelmingly superior to the US Navy in terms of the number and scale of battleships of the Japanese Navy and the performance of aircraft carriers. Furthermore, Japan was overwhelmingly superior to the United States in the skill level of the crew of fighters and bombers. Both the Japanese and the US knew that fact, so the US was desperate, the order issued by the Japanese Navy headquarters to the fleet was to annihilate the US fleet in the Battle of Midway and return the Japanese fleet unharmed. was. Moreover, while the aircraft carrier of the ally was fighting, 300 battleships of the Japanese Navy were waiting hundreds of kilometers behind, and the captains of each ship gathered at the flagship Yamato to play a chess tournament. Japan was licking the United States. In fact, General Yamamoto was connected to the United States. Yamamoto intentionally lost. Japan, which suffered severe damage, will have an advantage on the US side after this battle. The following year, Yamamoto regrets, keenly aware of his responsibility and commits suicide using an aircraft. Japan, which has no resources such as fossil fuels, could not enter oil and could not use aircraft, etc., and was gradually attacked by the United States. After that, Japan fought alone with the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, Australia, etc., but the Soviet Union, which had signed an inviolable treaty against the weakened Japan, broke the treaty and attacked. is. This has become fatal. The Japanese government was preparing to receive the Potsdam Declaration. So the United States didn't have to use the atomic bomb. The United States just wanted to test the effects of the atomic bomb.
Bear 😂😂 they actually woke up the sleeping Giant 😇👍🏼👌🏼
This might be the greatest documentary between the fought of America and Japan, More of this please
My great grandfather was a landing craft driver/trainer or something like that in the pacific, had to get shipped home because of appendicitis.
Thank you for sharing, it's the ground forces that will end the war. SEMPER FI 86-91
I was in the US Navy Sea Bees in 58-59-60 on Okinawa. Most of the rebuilding had already taken place but several of us found ordnance that had not exploded, in one cave we found a broken wooden box with 6-8 pineapple hand grenades. The ordnance people came and destroyed them, at another cave we found a large artillery shell and that too was taken care of by ordnance. I worked at Fatima on the Marine base being built at that time and ended up a UT-3.
Woah, thats actually some stuff I can know.
Even now, unexploded ordnance can be found in schoolyards all over Japan. Okinawa is an order of magnitude different.
@@mitchi8638 Yes, I know--the reality of it is that had Japan not started to sow to the wind they would not have reaped the whirlwind.
How was it there and salute to your service dude.
@@CrossOfBayonne The memories are fading after 65 years, all the guys I knew and was close to have all passed away. A few memories come up now and then but other than those I do not remember a whole lot about my two tours there.
Thanks for the great teachings
do you have the documentary about the battle and liberation of Manila ?
Camera man never dies
My grandfather fought in the Pacific war and said he knew he was allergic to machine guns, as he would always break out in little holes.
i love the tactics at battle of Midway
U. S reads others mail they're able to break the enigna and jade machine so they're able to anticipate without ds iys very possible they were annihilated and their carriers destroyed by an ambush of the Imperial navy n Midway.

Who gained, who has been lost . But thousands were lost their lives. Thousands of children even if they have been no role in the war, lost their lives. Heart breaks scene.
Excelent video ..!
I can't stop crying while watching this video, the faces of innocent civilians specially childrens who's the real victims of the war. Battling hunger and thirst, while battling for survival while hinding to save their lives 😢😢😢😢😭
Our parents, grandma and grandpa were among the survivors hiding inside the cave somewhere in Cagayan valley Phillipines .They wouldn't had survived if the US soldiers didn't came to save them from the Japanese army and we were not existed today as their siblings as well.. My heartfelt gratitude and salute to General Mc Arthur and the rest of his comrades.. RIP.
I was just telling a story about a Soldier I ran into about 10 years ago...same Regiment as my Dad's... 592d Boat and Shore Regiment.. This Soldier was from J company ( Dad was B Company) anyhow his Units mission was to go in and get some missionaries and family that were holed up somewhere. I wonder if it was your Grandparents... This story is coming from Northern California... My Dad fought in New Guinea then Admiralitys Bismarck Archipelagos Battangus, Olongampos, retook Corrigedor and Battaan Subic Bay Manilla Leyte and Luzon .. He was from California
My great grandpa is a ww2 veteran he was a gunner in a bomber plane he’s 98 now still going strong he’s one of the very few ww2 veterans still alive I’m happy I was able to listen to his story’s from when he was younger
Wow that's insane bro. Please send my regards to him!
The The Allies lost by suffered nearly &00
Your great grandpa one of. The world first terrorist army Americans wow how you Americans brave
My great uncle once talked about the war like it was a dream. He was part of a reserve division that ended up not being deployed overseas. He worked on soldier mail.

Same bruh
Of course the good ole days...now teachers are only talking about genders equality, leftists politics and other bs to hate and feel shame about the country.
Same here I'm from southern leyte
Ako si superman pag kasama kita kung lalayo ka sino ako oohhh ohh 😯 😮 ohhh
Awesome...
You can be tough as nails but that scared little girl 45:55 is a heart breaker. Dad would've been 100 this year (2022) having survived the depression and war in the Pacific theater he didn't talk much of his experiences, like millions of other vets it was time to put away weapons and get back to work, buy a home and raise a family. Entering the war at 18 by wars end means the youngest of WW2 vets would be 95 by 2022 so we're very close to all those involved will have been consumed by time.
Any book recommendations for the Pacific War?
Wow.. I have watched this in one stretch... Wish my teacher is as good as this narrator...😉
Very well done documentary. I think more emphasis could have been placed on the U.S.'s decision to cease export of oil to Japan, which I understand to be about 80% of Japan's oil imports, as a precursor to the Dec 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. I think this documentary missed the attack on a group of islands held by the Japanese nicknamed the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot"; also missed was the sinking of the Yamato -- the largest battleship ever built.
@@tommiterava5955 Oh so true! You did a great job though!
