Amazing video I wish this video would hit 1 m in the future
Very interesting. I had little idea of the scale of the Nihonese effort in WW1. I knew about scooping up the old Deutscher colonies after, but the convoying of ships and supplies and presence in the Med were a surprise for me.
Thanks for posting!
He says the scale in the Med was a few destroyers and a cruiser and, somehow, 70 dead Japanese marines. And in the Indian Ocean, apparently, escorting some Anzac troop convoys against initially negligible and soon nonexistent German opposition. "[T]he scale of the Nihonese effort in WW1" was apparently nothing much for you to get impressed about.
Exceptional work, keep up the effort in preserving our history.
600 000 tons of shipping over several years... In April 1917 German submarines sank 860 000 tons in one month. -- There has to be another factor then just mere tonnage that made Japanese ship building important. Anyone with any ideas?
In WW2, Japan had around 6,000,000 tons of merchant shipping, so in the context of Japanese shipbuilding, 600,000 does sound quite a lot.
Great lecture. Japan was instrumental for the Allied victory.
No, it wasn't.
Japan joining the Central Powers probably draws the Americans into the war much sooner to protect their East Asian holdings. Japan would have been no match against the concentrated forces of both the British and American navies of the time, leading to a far different outcome than the WW2 drawn out conflict.
He says you can "imagine" it happening and somehow that causing the Entente to lose. But I can't.
