    That’s so crazy. Less than 30 years before, Nixon was shooting craps on Bougainville in the Pacific while Hirohito sat in his palace still ruling. Nixon was a captain in the army, Hirohito was the emperor of the Japanese Empire. Then 30 years later, they met, Hirohito in the same position, Nixon now president of the US. Just crazy to think about.

      Well, during WWII, FDR and his Administration wanted to make damn sure that post-war settlements would, as much as possible, create a situation where the US would not have to see the same mistakes made after WWI, requiring the US to become involved in yet another major European or world war.
      No single person can control everything, and we got a Cold War that we were lucky did not ever become WWIII, and a key part of the Truman Doctrine of containment of Communism was having Japan and West Germany as liberal democracies, and strong allies of the US. President Wilson wanted a similar outcome after WWI, but did not have the leverage that FDR had -- because the US played a far less important role in WWI, and the other Allies (UK and France) wanted to punish Germany after WWI. FDR would not allow that mistake to be repeated after WWII. The US essentially rebuilt the societies of Germany and Japan in a carefully planned post war occupation.

    MacArthur believed that all war criminals begged for their lives, so he thought that the Emperor would also beg for his life. But the Emperor said to him, "All responsibility is on me. I don't want my life, so I want you to save the people. "

      MacArthur wasn't perfect by any means, but that was one very crucial thing he got right. He very well could've controlled Japan with a vengeful iron fist after the surrender, but chose to reconstruct and rehabilitate the nation rather than seek retribution. I'd go as far as saying Japan is the superpower it is today in-part because of MacArthur's post-war policies.

    I will never forget September 26, 1971. It was a day in which the events depicted in this video played out on my father's television set. My father was so angry that DC allowed Hirohito to step foot on American soil that he actually stood up and kicked his TV set across the living room floor. Cursed until his face was blood red and tears rolled down his cheeks. He left the house and didn't return for hours. I was 13 years old at the time and didn't fully understand what was happening. It was years later when my father opened up to me about some of the events he participated in during WWII in the pacific theater. They were very difficult stories for me to listen to even though I was much older.
    Another date in my life I will also remember was January 7, 1989. The day Hirohito died. My father stopped drinking in 1948 when my oldest brother was born and I never witnessed him drinking a drop of alcohol my entire life. But the day Hirohito died he bought a six pack of beer and drank them all that night. He sat in the back yard drinking that beer and crying uncontrollably at times. WWII was a very hard and difficult war for many that actually fought it and haunted tens of thousands for many decades that followed. It is my sincere hope that all Americans remember what our greatest generation did for us all. I sure do.

Now Nixon was visiting Beijing and smiling while shaking the hand of one of the biggest murderers in history (worse than Hitler or Stalin). As the great-nephew of a Korean War US army soldier KIA, those pictures make my blood boil. Those surviving vets had to be screaming "This man killed our friends and our allies, is a bigger killer than Hitler and now you want to be F***ING FRIENDS WITH HIM?!

    I thank you very much, Mr. President, for your cordial words of welcome. I am deeply moved by your presence here with Mrs. Nixon. You have come over a long way to meet us personally on the occasion of our stopover here on our way to seven European countries.
    When you are so pressed with matters of state, I highly appreciate it as a manifestation of your very special good will and interest for the Japanese people and ourselves. Together with the Japanese people, I constantly raise to heart that all the Presidents of the United States, and her Government and people, have given us unstinted assistance, materially and morally, after the end of the war, in the restoration and building up of our country. I take this opportunity to express my most sincere gratitude for it.
    I have no doubt whatever that the friendly relations between our two countries, cultivated during the past quarter of a century, will be increasingly strengthened by close contact and cooperation between our Governments and peoples.

      His visit to the UK was really controversial, it’s interesting to read about. Huge crowds showed up but they didn’t cheer or boo, they just basically stared at him 💀
      For context: he was actually gifted the honorary rank of a field marshal in 1930, which was the highest possible rank in the British Army. So he was seen as an enormous traitor.

    From what I have read, Emperor Hirohito was against the war from all accounts. He was an artist and a poet. Not a warmonger. It was the very inordinately powerful leaders of the Armed Forces and others who created the situation which they later paid for most terribly and came to regret. Whatever one may say, General MacArthur was astute and realised how important a figure head the Emperor was, to the Japanese people. They Rallied around him and the reconstruction began. And today as everyone can see, the Japanese and Americans are good friends.

    A lot of people are commenting on how different the Emperor’s speech sounds compared to ‘standard’ Japanese. If you want to roughly appreciate how different it is, I’d compare it to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address-comprehensible but old-fashioned. Basically any Japanese native speaker can understand what he says in this speech.

      An old japanese fellow told me once, the imperial palace was so isolated from the rest of Japan that the dialect spoken there couldn't keep up with the one being spoken outside, you know, any language will change after sometime, if you understand the Darwinist evolution theory, this is pretty close to it. its almost as if the royal dialect "evolved" itself apart from the "Average" Japanese dialects spoken outside the palace, thus rendering it different, old man also said that any native Japanese speaker could still understand what the emperor was saying, but it was just a little bit different, I don't know if this is true, but sounds plausible to me.

      Gabriel Soares | I think it’s a matter of degree. Did the imperial family use some kind of esoteric speech? Yes. Was it nearly unintelligible to ‘normal’ Japanese people? Probably not.
      I think Japanese people (especially older generations) have a tendency to exaggerate the difficultly of the Japanese language when talking to outsiders as a point of national pride.

If the Japanese did not rescue the orphans, the Polish orphans were dead. The Japanese continued to rescue the Polish orphans, losing their fingers due to frostbite and being threatened by Russians.The Japanese donated a lot of money to save Polish orphans.The Japanese sent orphans to Japan for treatment. The Japanese fed orphans a warm meal every day.All 765 Polish orphans have recovered. The Japanese empress at that time loved Polish orphans deeply.I am European but know this story.

      Little known historical fact is that the US and Japan, after the latter ended its isolation, were becoming closer and closer as friends until the end of WWI when the both of them started diverging. Pearl Harbor was basically Japan spitting on the US for all the animosity after which the US decided to fight back.
      Think of it like this: two guys have a fight. One guy wins and drives the other to the ground. The winner smiles and helps the loser up onto his feet. He then says something to the effect of "Hey remember when we used to be friends? Why don't we be that again?" And then the loser smiles back and says "Yeah that sounds cool.". And so they hug and become friends again. That's pretty much how the US and Japan became such close friends after the war.

The japanese empire is now host for several american military bases wich represents a probleme for japan because recently the japanese people were protesting because of rapes made by american soldiers. Of course the japanese governement would like to recover it's military sovereignty that they have partially lost since world war 2. You reproach me to look at the actual japan as the old japanese empire but when you look closely you can see that the americans are doing the exact same thing by limiting their army capabilities and by staying in their lands (with the military bases).

    Hirohito was impressed with the west after his first visit to England. In early Japanese culture ,the Emperor was a god and no one was allowed to look directly at him or touch him. I think he felt trapped in a way by this treatment.
    The Japanese military was the real power in Japan in those days (WW2)
    After Japan's surrender ,the allied commanders came to the conclusion that it would be best to allow Hirohito to remain in power but gone was the divine mystique.
    The allied commanders also wanted Japan divied up amongst themselves( occupied) but US president Truman said no way to the USSR ,and France getting control of any part of Japan. The UK occupied briefly a small section of Japan. The US didn't occupy the country permanently either

      TBH, he was more of a figure head than any real political leader (kind of like Britain's Queen or Belgium's King today). Tojo was essentially a military dictator, and held virtually all real power. Some have said that Hirohito was nearly a captive in his own nation.

    彼の権力は全て裏で政府と軍隊が輔弼という言葉を使い操っていました。彼は政治に口出すことは出来なかったのです。
    戦争を始めたのも、終わらせたのも政府や軍隊で、それに天皇の名前が使われてしまったのです。
    それなのに彼は戦争後、自分の命と引き換えに国民の命を守ってもらうようにマッカーサーに頼みました。天皇家に生まれ都合よく使われてしまっただけなのに、天皇としての行動を全うしてくださったこと、本当に尊敬に値します。

      I could certainly see why some would be upset (because of how how brutal the Imperial Japanese forces had been). Back in the 1850s, Queen Victoria caused some shock and consternation in Britain for similar reasons. In an effort to improve Anglo-French relations, she invited Emperor Napoleon III (the original Napoleon's nephew) to visit London and Windsor. I have to imagine the Waterloo and Napoleonic War veterans were THRILLED to see him /s. But as they say, the bold are the ones who make peace.

      @@thunderbird1921 Wonderful analogy!
      Nixon got things done by being the last person you'd expect to want to do them. He served in WWII to defeat Japan. So, if he said it was time to shake hands with the man who was emperor at the time, you couldn't accuse him of ignoring history. Nixon was very anti-communist, so when he announced his trip to China, people thought, "Well, if a commie hater like Nixon says this is a smart move, he probably has his facts straight." You can say a lot of negative things about Nixon, many of them true, but when made smart moves in diplomacy he was acutely shrewd. I mean, there's a proverb about him in a Star Trek movie! 😯
