Well it’s also good to learn multiples perspectives, take it from the other ethnic group living inside Vietnam or other countries perspectives to at least get a full view on what Vietnam was like back then.
Vietnam currently has a very good relationship with Japan so I think the history book was deliberately altered to minimize Japanese crimes. Even though the famine of 1945 was a horror in the mind of old people and there are many stories in Vietnamese literature like the poor have to eat the vomit of the rich. The background song is On ward to Hanoi or Tiến về Hà Nội, it is a beautiful war song in Japan resistance war.
more like, shifting the blame on the French and the feudal structure, which makes sense since the Viet Minh will go on and fight these 2 in the next 9 years. also, maybe the Japanese were the invisible villains - sure they gave the order, but the one who directly seized the food were local Vietnamese and French bureaucrats, so they took most of the blame since the common people didn't know better.
The attrocities of the Japanese were overshadowed by the the fact nearly a thousand Imperial Japanese soldiers refused to surrender defected to the Viet minh to aid them against the returning french colonial regime
I'm a bit shocked I had no idea of what happened in vietnam in WW2. Such a shame that this part of hystory is not tought in french school and indochina overall we are teach a lot more of Algeria and other former African colonies.
Nice video, love your drawing style and your pronunciation. You even mentioned the empire of Vietnam or the US's involvement in Indochina, which had 0 mention in the current textbook.
7:28 that one meme summarizes my feelings on insects in general. Also, great video. Always nice to see people covering the lesser known topics of major world events.
Nice to see videos discussing the Japanese occupations of Asia-Pacific from the perspective of one of the Southeast Asian nations because honestly there should be more videos discussing about that. The history of Vietnam seems to overwhelmingly focused on the Vietnam War and thus the suffering caused by the Japanese Empire seems overlooked but this video helps corrects his problem.
I love your toned-down color video style and the topic was great and discussed clearly and neatly with the illustrations, subscribed. Can't wait for more videos ✨✨
06:00 The Japanese here carry 90% of the blame, the French actually had a system in place designed to prevent famines but the local Japanese garrison refused to distribute the rice to the people. Sure, the U.S. Americans bombed some critical infrastructure but with enough workarounds these would have been able to be fixed and even without the bombings the Japanese would've disallowed the rice to be given to the people. 1945 was the deadliest year in Vietnamese history because of deliberate Japanese action (making it the 3rd worst famine of the war only behind Churchill's famine in Bengal and the Japanese famine in the Netherlands East-Indies). The Việt Minh were able to feed people so quickly during their relief efforts because they simply took the rice from the Japanese soldiers and as far as I'm aware of no Japanese soldier starved. This means that there was enough rice, the Japanese simply didn't want to distribute it.
Poles: we were invaded by two evil empires in 1939. Vietnamese: how about being colonised, then got a joint invasion and oppression? Man, France, Japan, Soviet Union and Germany just love each other so much…
Under bad feudal leadership (Nguyen dynasty), which later surrender themselves to European colonialists (French), got colonised, got invaded again (Imperial Japan) and the colonial government surrendered to the invasion force and join in the oppression and exploitation, resulting in heavy famine. Kicked out the second force, colonial country invade again, kicked them out too, that caused the friend of the colonial country (USA) to invade. Kicked their ass off. Neighbour (Khmer Rouge) went insane (supported by many countries, communist and capitalist) and starts killing everyone, including your people, so their ass got kicked. They happened to be supported by much bigger neighbour (China), who didn't like their subordinate got kicked in the ass, so the big dude do a lil border conflict. In the end, got their ass served to them too.
My grandma kept telling me about the sweet potatoes and related to the conditions to the video depicting starving north Koreans picking up bits of food off the ground. Now I understand what she meant by sweet potatoes.
Without helps from Chinese communist (the soviets did not involved yet), the Vietminh could not defeat the French in Điện-Biên-Phủ battle which lead to the fall of French rules in VN.
Imma be honest, knowing that there's a Vietnamese with this much love and knowledge of history ( especially about the Japanese's brutality cuz it's not widely known in this country ) really fill me up with joy and happiness. Kudos to you my man
Thailand wasn't fascist. Japan literally had to invade Thailand to force them to join their cause. All Thailand wanted to do, before WWII, was get back the territories that the French stole, not 4 decades earlier--mostly along the Mekong River but also the border regions with Cambodia. There was no crazy Thai mission to take over other countries and all that nonsense, the goal was literally to undo what recent British and French Imperialism had done to Thailand. In fact, the war was so unpopular, the Thai ambassador to USA refused to give the war declaration. Anti-Japanese feelings continued for a long time after the war--people were still angry about it as recently as the 1970s, when there were protests against Japanese factories. These days, no one thinks about all that stuff, life moves on, forgive people if they make a change for peace.
It is good that you added all of these countryballs cuz there is Malaya,Singapore,Sarawak,Brunei and even also the place where I live..is North Borneo,Sabah!
vietnam is so cool. i feel like we have so much to learn from this nation. as a socialist/ communist/ leftist person i also really appreciate what the vietnamese project has accomplished despite so much crazy shit happening in their country. would love to visit one day ❤
I've always wanted to find out more details about the Pacific theatre. Most WW2 history videos gloss over this region. I'm looking forward to your future videos, be it WW2 or other parts of history. Asian history in general is underrepresented.
You forgot that the British actually held Vietnam for a brief time, it is theoretically thought that had the British given the country back to Vietnams leadership and not the French, the first indochina war would not have happened
Your art and narration are wonderful, also can you make about Vietnam subsidy era (1975-1987) , i alway want someone to make a video of it in animation way, so take this as a recommendation.Thank and love your art !
Thanks for highlighting the Japanese occupation period of Asia, it still gets ignored so heavily by most historical accounts of people outside of the region who only start the Vietnam story with the events after WW2 that led to the US Vietnam War. To most Westerners, the Japanese were the victims of WW2 because of the nuclear bombs, they don't know about the Japanese-run concentration camps, the rape of Nanking, the war crimes in South East Asia or the Japanese Mengeles in "Unit 731". And honestly, I am still only starting to learn about the extent of the Japanese war crimes thanks to people like you.
Most people in Japan don't even know about these events since their history syllabus overlook this period of their history and the Japanese government frequently tries to sweep their atrocities under the rug.

I am Japanese, grown up in SEA, but back in Japanese school, our teacher taught us how terrible this event and the Japanese empire was. We feel awful and extremely sorry for all victims, and for making post ww2 problems. I believe a lot of schools are now putting those war crimes/events in the history syllabus not to repeat such a horrible history.
@@jo16431 That's good to hear but the politician usually like to forget bout or simply ignore it what happen that's why even making the modern day Japan flag official are really controversial among them (editing typing errors)
Uhhh why does UPAball have a swastika on the cap in 00:06? They were not the same as collaborators, it'd be like slapping a swastika on the baltic Forest Brothers. Other than that I like your vids, binging through them, great job
always said it that the japanese were monsters during ww2!!!....i think they deserve it the atomic bombs better...they should have getted a third one...ON THE HEAD OF HIROHITO whatever....amazing video man you should continue making stuff like this
vietnam is such an interesting place and learning about it's history like this is just amazing
yes it there only bad thing in vietnam THAT IS TOilet IT SUCK IN SCHOOL MORE LOOK BLACK THING DOWN

I remember back in middle school the history textbooks still talked about the famine caused by thr Japanese that killed 2 million people.
Great video, refreshing to see some real criticism of the French colonial administration as well.
French colonialism was greedy oligarchs seeking to steal wealth using spreading their filthy religion as a ruse.
I'm a bit shocked I had no idea of what happened in vietnam in WW2. Such a shame that this part of hystory is not tought in french school and indochina overall we are teach a lot more of Algeria and other former African colonies.

Could Vietnam alone have overthrown the robust Western system of rule?
