If all those shots were vividly captured on a camera from the 1940s, imagine how it really looked in real life.....
Scary is how it looked
And they said that some films like midway 2019 was a cgi crap and too much explosions and smokes.
@@Jupiter.141 idiots would say that, people in the know-corner know how realistic and close to reality it was and i was actually impressed at how historically accurate the movie was
It's fake there no way they can get camera Angels like that
@@cancelculturecansuckmydick4923 no fucking shit it’s fake it’s called a movie dumb ass
Those ships must have rode an inch higher in the water after unloading all that lead.
Believe it or not, very little actual lead is used for .50 Cal and bigger. The ammo the .50s took was copper jacketed steel core. The copper was to protect the barrel and the steel core ripped right through planes. The 20mm and bigger often fired explosive shells, often with proximity fuses.
That's the difference between a "gun" and a "cannon." What makes a cannon a cannon is the type of ammo it fired. To be considered a cannon, a gun had to fire explosive or incendiary shells and have a caliber of 15mm or larger.
What really helped us back then was that in addition to an endless supply of ammo we could hurl at the Japanese, we began using proximity fuses. Those use sonar to detonate even when they're in the vicinity of a target. The effect was to turn our AAA into really big, fully automatic shotguns, quadrupling their effectiveness. A study was conducted on the effectiveness of proximity fuses and they found that we could down the same number of enemy planes with only one-fourth as many shells when using prox rounds. Basically, our ammo was four times as effective as Tojo's, AND we had at least 40 times as many as they did. Even Yamamoto knew that Imperial Japan's days were numbered when they failed to destroy the entire US Pacific Fleet. We could build ships faster than Japan could destroy them and our ships could take more damage because we had better damage control. The effect was that for every ship or plane Tojo destroyed, we could (and did) replace it with two others. We didn't have the fanaticism or experience of the Axis powers, but we learned quickly and had ten times the logistical capacity.
@@thatguy22441 ...it's a figure of speech
those are 20mm and 40mm Bofors
More like 6 inches
@@thatguy22441 well to be frank the japanese spread too thin they already occupy their force across Asia troop ships and rss they are scatters in matter area and Japanese small country island compare to unlimited resources of Americans and her ally.it a matter of time before Japanese.but when the war break out if their arrogance and pride didkt get in their way there would have stand better chance but neither way americans will win do to nukes was already on its way even after the war was already won usa want to show the world and pick the most softest spot and dent populations the force of try weapons and the devastation to the world the might of American even mean horrific death to many innocent lives
It must have been the most intense situation for the guys firing the weapons trying to save the ship and their and their shipmates lives. Imagine being below decks hearing the shooting and explosions all around above. They are trying with all their heart and soul to do their part to keep the ships systems running, all the while hoping and praying that the gunners-mates above are successful shooting down the attacking planes. Every man deserves a medal of valor. Brothers fighting for brothers.
Depending on where you are you may not even know. During Pearl Harbor, one of the mechanics below deck on the Vestal, anchored near the Arizona, did not even realize the arizona had exploded until he went topside, at least according to Indy Neidell and the team over at World War Two and Timeghost.
I remember a little story about engine room crew aboard battleships. ‘I always knew when the battle first started, the deep rumbling and thunder below. I heard a great loud explosion, and when my ship stopped firing I had believed we were victorious. That was, until the water rose over the air intakes and suffocated the engines, committing us eternally to the deep.’
We only see the tracers and air bursts. For every one you see there's about five you don't ...
exactly what my coach told me when I was in boot camp.......okay I'm just a kid.
Suckmyballz Gameplays w
JOHN HUNTER did you know that the tracers were actually inaccurate because they had less gunpowder due the chemical to act as tracers. Therefore if the 40mm tracers were on target,the other 5 on the clip were not on target. I just learned this recently. Article said fighter pilots were aware of this.
Night battles sights were really spectacular. You saw every flash,that at the gun and that of the exploding shells,and every tracer against the dark sky,plus all the noise. What was very scary bwas when the enemy dropped flares on mini parachutes and they lit you up so brightly you could read a newspaper by the light .That light also silloetted the ships for subs to see. very upsetting. They were called 'starshells ' and seemed to burn forever.
+jaddy540 my grandfather said the parachuted flare takes longer time to land because the heat from the flare fill the chute. they often focused on the flare first because they were vulnerable to the sub than the bomber.
My father in law was a gunners mate on battleship New Jersey; the battleships were often used to put up a curtain of anti-aircraft fire to protect the carriers & he said the 30-odd days they spent off Okinawa, under massive kamikaze attacks, was the worst.
I cannot even imagine the ass clenching horror in the minds of those pilots as they flew through literal fucking walls of anti aircraft gunfire. Especially dive bombers and torpedo bombers I dont think most people realize how much courage and determination it took for men on all sides of the war to do jobs like this.
For most of them, it was the last thing they ever thought. We lost like 400 of 460 pilots during the battle of Midway for example... We won, so that's good, but god damn.
So much bullets flying around
One tracer round every 5.
And that only makes it even more terrifying.
Holy cow look at them fireworks!
@@yuppy1967 just shut your ass up. I will like you to be present there and then even try to determine anything like fireworks - where millions of deaths actually occurred
I see where ZUN got the idea for Touhou, man.
These attacks were a proverbial bullet hell.
1:09 is probably the most glorious thing i have ever seen.
It’s sped up footage with sounds added
That firepower.
Can you imagine being in those ships, the sound had to be sureal.
several gunners experienced hearing loss
That's one thing movies and video games can never get right about gun battles. The noise is beyond anything you've ever heard. That's one reason we use hand and arm signals.
“Your hearing loss is not service related”
I'm not a pilot but I've often wondered how planes flew night operations. I can understand taking off from a fixed compass position (your carrier) and maintaining a heading (and any course changes) but how did they fly around in the chaos of combat and know which way to get back?
Some navigation was done using star charts and constellations. Even U2 spy planes used that for a bit I believe! I’m not sure beyond that though.
Some planes had a homing beacon for the carrier.
Will forever respect bravery exhibited on both sides.
Brickcellent whats about heroshima ??
u respect this
dandy ozone Yes otherwise who knows how many would have died from another war
dandy ozone read what the Japanese did to Asia before you think Hiroshima was some act of evil. And read the consequences of not using nukes
from google translate..
First, the United States does not like Asia to save it, as it did with Iraq when it said about weapons of mass destruction. After its destruction, it apologized and occupied Afghanistan under the pretext of terrorism. They were the ones who financed terrorism on their claims during the Russian occupation, Vietnam, Hiroshima and many massacres.
bye..
My God, those sounds are such nightmare fuels! I can't imagine how did it feel being in one on those aircrafts or ships.
Respect for those brave soldiers...from philippines
Couldn't have brought it home much better 4:12, great landing.
I am from México City, I want to express my gratitude to all allies, soldiers and vets of WWII as well as the soviet army for their efforts and sacrifice to stop the advance of the darkness in the great battle of our age.
The Soviet Army? The Soviets killed more people than Nazi's and also raped countless which Nazi's would execute any Rapist among their ranks on sight. We just didn't find out about the Soviets war crimes till the collapse. "I can see now we fought with the wrong allies and we defeated the wrong enemies" General Patton on Allied victory
@@aaronscott4984 no those are propaganda stories told by fascists. The Red Army executed rapists, whereas the Wehrmacht raped and burned their way across the USSR from the very beginning, with Barbarossa.
The Soviets were Allies and we owe it to them for beating fascism. Respect to fallen comrades.
@@aaronscott4984 also the Nazis definitely killed more civilians than the Soviets, lol wtf are you on about, you fuckin Nazi
You're being a little naive about the Soviets, really?
@@hotcakesismruclips.net/video/_MwFu_n9-fQ/видео.html
The amount of lead that ship unleashes, starting at 1:07, is fucking insane
I wonder if that was Yamato, it was listed in of the participants of the mariana campaign
It's the USS Washington BB-56
looks real bad ass
Lightning-Mover 256 any idea what aircraft was used by the us?
Lightning-Mover 256 my grandpa (navy vet) took me aboard the USS North Carolina and it was amazing. I will never forget that day. The ship bristled with guns like a sea urchin. I cannot imagine being present with all those guns firing.
That's real fighting there....no war of today has this intense anymore.
They really didn't play around back in the 1940s.
Absolutely shocking what kind of hell that must have been.
its not the same, back then weapons were not accurate
you got a bunch of kamikazes heading for you, what are you gonna do? of course you are gonna use every single weapon on your ship and shoot at it like theres no tomorrow
no radar control, at least up until the 1944 where the earliest form of radar controlled engagements were developed, just spray the skies where the target is and some bullets will hit it eventually, then its just a matter of how quickly you can put enough bullets there for the plane to be destroyed
its a very different kind of warfare from today's devastating and pinpoint accurate weaponry
id argue the war in ukraine is just as intense
because there is no full scale war like this in the current age mainly just civil war with insurgents
This was the war to end all wars. No one wants to fuck with the US and its allies after this war.
@@schmittyvonbaun8418 no way in hell its as intense as ww2
I can't imagine the logistics involved in keeping those ships, planes guns and most of all men supplied. And at about 6,000 miles from the west coast. Then think about doing the same in Europe at the same time.
That's why they always had supply ships in the convoi and massive storage on their own ships.
Cargo ships (Fuel, Ammo, etc) are included in each task force :)!
@@iseedeathpeoples8522 They didn't bring enough food, ammo, etc for every day of each campaign. That's folly to think that way. As Eisenhower is so famous for saying "the plan is nothing... planing is everything". They had no idea some of the islands were going to take months to clear out.
all the marine life must have migrated somewhere during this fight. fishes be like, damn you, hoomans!let us have some sleep!
I'm surprised at watching the ability of US Navy's cannon fires.
very heavily edited, many planes not hit, we only saw the success' here.
Our ships did put a lot of shells in the air and did get good results, but this is a film that was made specifically to make the Navy look good. While our navy was good, don't take anything you see in this film as being 100% accurate.
Kaymarx What the hell are you talking about? The proof is in the end result -- the United States won the war whether you want to face into that fact or not
Jeff H I think you all need to first READ about these engagements in the Pacific. -- Leyte Gulf, Saipan, Guadalcanal and the Marianas Turkey Shoot and see just who won all those battles before you make statements that this is in essence hype or edited.
Jeff Why don't you READ about these engagements in the Pacific and see who won them before you imply that this is hype. I would suggest the Battle off Samar and Surigaio Strait (Battle of Leyte Gulf) . Just don't tell people that this all edited and we didn't shoot down as many planes as they would like you to believe; thst's what you're really saying.
my dad was in the U.S Navy 1942 South Pacific
Machine Gun Nest yang nanya
Bhs inggris oi
More respect to him
Navy, marines??
My great grandfather was in World War II as well (yes I am quite young, 16 to be exact). I wonder if your dad and my great grandfather ever saw each other at some point during the war, although my great grandfather was infantry.
You can not convince me that some of those ships didn't frag each other and friendly craft from time to time.
during air attack (with perhaps a few exceptions) the only guns being manned were the AA guns. the normal AA guns couldn't do any serious damage to ships, the 5"/38 dual purpose gun could, but only if it were firing APC or HE shells, which it wouldn't when firing at aircraft.
Oh they did.
There were a few incidents of friendly fire, but there was armour around the aa
They could and did do superficial damage to each other, but even the thinnest armour could easily tank flak. Friendly planes typically stayed away during such barrages, though there are accounts, especially during kamikaze attacks, of them charging onto flak to save their ships.
If you ever fly into Philly and you approach from the East, you fly about a mile or 2 from the USS New Jersey which is docked on the Jersey side of the Delaware River. I couldn't imagine trying to approach it with it's AA guns blazing while protecting a carrier group.
exactly why carriers boasted the largest compliment of AA guns, 3 reasons, 1st is they ALWAYS had an escort of warships with big guns, so they didnt need them/have the room for them, 2nd a deterrent, try to keep enemy planes on the other rim of the kill zone or face a (at times) LITERAL impassible wall of lead and flak, 3rd, act as the heaviest AA defender beside the cruisers for her battleships, prime pickings with how big/slow they were
usually you'd want to bomb the battleships into oblivion with bombers so the enemy fleets battleships could obliterate the carrier's thin armor, and pick apart the smaller ships, destroyers/cruisers rare had the firepower to breach a full battleship's hull unless they were close... and that was a kill zone off of its own
rarely did this plan work as intended but-
I'm here after watching the movie 'Midway' and reading comments that the AA fire in the movie was unrealistically "too much". idk about that 🤔
Would suck to fly into all that lead...
no shit, the guy at 3:23 is swiss cheese after 2 seconds lol
You think
BENJAMIN TEPSIC Ik this is old but stfu annoying ass patriot
Great 1 wheel carrier landing at the end! LOVED IT!
Heavy fighting in Saipan. Amazing footage.
2:19. USS Enterprise (CV-6).
Who else is here after watching battle of midway?
me! how did u know?
Same here! Just to check out the flak.
Somewhere out there in the pacific some fishermen experienced some heavy led rainstorms... xD
not that i like war but WWII is so much amazing than today's war.. with all these computer controlled weapons are so boring.
Go play World of tanks and world of warships, u get to use most of these old ships.
Lmao as if that's a bad thing 😂

_"Planes without human pilot being gunned down is boring. Throw some living human in there! Ain't gonna watch some robots killin' eachother, when you can bet countless of human lives on it. Step up the war, will ya?"_
- Maybe some psychopaths who thinks that war is just for show; an entertainment. Those who think that robotic warfare is boring, compared to the exciting war that kills millions.
in near future "battle of Minds"
2:24... Knowing there are 3 to 5 rounds between those tracers, I always wonder how many of our AA rounds hit our own ships? By the looks of that sequence, that carrier in the background was lit up too...
1:25 wow
Indeed.. how the fuck you can stay alive after that......
Can't believe the Japanese are some of the most respectable and most well mannered people on the planet to this day. Beautiful country.
Cayden sarcastic
No they are not... they may seem that way, but behind closed doors they are extremely strict and brutal.
Cayden yeah its true japan country is the respectfull country
Yeah, well as a white Australian I knew my descendants pretty much wiped out the natives in my country and that Europe colonized the entire globe. Only two countries on the planet escaped the yoke - Thailand and Japan. Japan just had to look south = Philippines (screwed by Spain and now owned by US), west = China, screwed by Germany France, England and now by them too., South-East = Vietnam, screwed by France, Indonesia by Holland etc., That in no way excuses Japan for its savagery but you can't help thinking they needed to colonize to survive too. Just saying. Let us not get too cocky, and no, I do not want to be in a Japanese railway gang or Soviet gulag either.
TommyTwobats what is intriguing is the fact that their industrial capability in 1930s to 1945 is almost as good as great britain and even surpass italy. Now imagine a country with scarce natural resource but has an industry as active as great britain without any colony. What you say its true. The japanese need steel,oil and coal. And the US embargo didn't help. At all
Now the 18 year olds of today need a safe space and some coloring books to decompress.....

@Thomas Shelton Greetings.....my late father was in 11 battles just in the South Pacific Theater aboard the destroyer USS CASSIN YOUNG DD-793(and is in Boston harbor as a National Monument. I was blessed that my father could share some of his horrendous stories of when his destroyer was hit by a kamikaze plane off of Okinawa, when they were running radar picket duty. My father was 18, from the hills of West Virginia, as were most of the "boys" as he would call his shipmates. They were scared, homesick and almost couldn't comprehend this level of War, slaughter and in-humanity. The Japanese, with the code of Bushido , would and could not surrender because of the deeply taught PRIDE, and the dishonor of surrendering. my father said, that radar picked up a bogey coming in low 2 miles out. by the time the plane was in visual reference, they found out it was flying on the Deck, or about 10 feet off the surface of the ocean, and it was actually a cloth and fabric Bi-plane(they were running out of flyable airplanes) with a 500lb bomb strapped to her belly! All the gun crews on the 40mm and 20mm mounts could not train the aim of the guns they were manning as low as the plane was coming in, but they kept trying to ricochet anything to stop it. Talk about scared? my father said it took place within 2 minutes and time just stood still, watching the suicide plane coming in closer and closer NOTHING STOPPING IT AND THE FLYING DEATH IT BROUGHT! After the bi-plane was sighted until it slammed into the USS CASSIN YOUNG at about 80MPH right behind the #2 smokestack! It immediately detonated and completely vaporized 28 men into pieces. My father was bending around an aft bulkhead for ammunition when the kamikaze struck, blowing him 15 feet into the air, and wounding him. The Japanese were completely fanatical about still trying to win the war at any cost, surrender and defeat were not in their vocabulary. My father suffered with battle fatigue or PTSD as its now known as, until his death 11 months ago. I have many stories that my father shared with me and only me, especially the horrible torpedoing of the USS PRINCETON, where all seamen on the starboard side of the USS CASSIN YOUNG were issued small arms to fire on the sharks devouring PRINCETONS survivors in the water..........................................
Too many movies have made people like you oblivious to the extent of cowardice displayed back then.

Now the economy is fucked by the baby boomers and people aren't so easily fooled by perpetuated wars. There's nothing to glorify about ww2 other than the fact that the Axis powers were stopped. War is never a good thing, but in this case it was necessary as it was a war against imperialism that threatened the existence of nations and their people. Since then everything else has been for our own oligarch's neo-imperialism and profit, at the tune of trillions of taxpayer dollars.
The roar of the aircraft engines above the carrier sounds like the titans from AoT. So terrifying.
Respect to all soldier🙏🙏🙇
My grandfather who drove a shit Corvette until the day he died was a crash fireman on the runaway of Okinawa. Much respect Roger Behnke. Friend of the locals, hero to us.
Damn what a times. Brave pilots and crews on both sides.
Crazy thing, war. My uncle Joe went into the US Navy in 1943. Fought all across the Pacific in WW2, was in Korea and Vietnam. He survived it all with only 1 purple heart. Retired in 1973 and went to work at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in California and was killed when he fell from a scaffold. Crazy world.
*after a while your mind starts to lose it, and it starts to look like shooting stars*
WW2 pilot
The carrier in the background is USS Enterprise
My Grandpa was in the Marines during WW2. I bet he was on one of those Ships during this Battle. I am a 3rd Generation Marine.
Gosh darn seeing a billion tracer rounds flying around with these muffled sounds is absolutely terrifying
HOT Damn. look at all of those tracer rounds!
for every tracer round you see there are 5 or 6 non-tracers you do not see.If you put enough metal into the air,enemy
planes can go down just from damage from flying into it
the Americans and the Japanese got to be the biggest fighting sea show down in the world history....
to those who think kamikaze attacks are crazy, they are more accurate and thus require less personnel, training and ammunition for each attacks and thus in eyes of a nation on its last breath is very effective and efficient.
I'm watching this going "this is cool," until around 1:15 "...WELL SHIT!"
これからは日米友好であってほしい🇯🇵❤️🇺🇸
戦争中ではなく今があります。
My father was a gunner on LCI's and I know he fought at Saipan and the first Guadalcanal battle.
American people and government totally supported our troops in ww2.
They certainly did. They had to because the implications of the Axis powers winning the war are horrifying.
I love how you can watch the progression of the battle as the planes close in. Watch the relatively slow cadence of the 5" guns and then eventually the smaller caliber weapons open up (tracers) as the planes close in.
When anime becomes real.
Excelente documental guardado. Que locura debió ser piloto en esa época. Sobrevivir a un ataque era casi un milagro.

My dad was in the Coast Guard during WW2 and wrote a book : 'The History Of The Coast Guard'.
My uncles were in the Navy during WW2. They said some months after the attack a ship was cut into to find some men in their bunks who had been reading or writing letters and others were at tables playing cards, ALL WERE DEAD, they'd died when their air had run out.😢😭
They'd had no way of getting out on their own and were waiting for help that never came, till it was too late.
There were more ships found like that but my uncle's would barely if ever speak about it.
Will we ever learn (all countries) to live in peace before it's way too late?
I'm happy we are allies with Japan now. Says something when people can fight and shake hands after. Something that the Middle East should learn to do with each other
You conveniently forgot about Pearl Harbor and the fact that long before the US got involved with Japan the Japanese had invaded China
furkan it actualy few of the thing that made japan grow extremly well in the 60s up to 90s japan dont need to focus on army => all the money go to the economy cause the govt knew that there is american navy base = if some one attack japan = attack america but now thing diffirent with the chinese that why you see japan navy growing and army / airforce changing super fast :) and grow
You have to remember that that is how the USA felt about Japan because of Pearl Harbor, and the USA wasnt just going to lay down. I cant speak for all of the wars involving the USA, but we here in the US have nothing to apologize for when it comes to WW2. The world was screaming for us to help them out against Germany and then the Japanese attacked us before they even declared war on the us. At the end of the war they were warned to stop or many people would die, and their stupid leader would not surrender so we had to do what we had to do. And in a real declared official war, countries and those that fought in the war on both sides can eventually get along again and be friends. Most of the time its not the peoples will to fight and make war, its the leaders of their countries, and many of their leaders were not very good people, they were dictators.
Bob bro well , but japan attacked an army place but USA hit civil population , not once but twice.Hitting civilians is a war crime .Do you remember any other act of terrorism or war crime worse than the use of nuclear weapons on civilians
Furkan Gungor agreed..this was USA's act of war crime and terrorism.Hitting civilians with nuclear weapons twice and no apology.instead some people tries to defend it.but i met so many japenese students in Toronto , honestly they feel really bad about USA.
going there in a plane was a suicide.... the amount of bullets in the air is hilarious
Respect to those brave pilots. Banzai!!!
Man bun boys would be crying like little girls in their flip flops hiding downstairs in the Boiler Room
The Japanese Bushido code allowed for no surrender......hence. we had to be in the position of give No Quarter Take No Quarter

I'd love for a more modern movie to feature the war in the pacific told from the perspectives of the fleet. I've watched midway and tora tora tora many times, and tbh, seeing battleship makes me want to see some good old fashioned Pacific naval battle movies but done by modern movie directors. Like the battles of the Marianas Islands campaign.
That would be boss.
Amy This is not a movie; it's taken from newsreels or military photograhers.
I agree. Monumental gun battles are absolutely fantastic sights and works of art. Wish they had 4K recording capabilities back then too.
the movie Battleship has a stint of a US WWII era warship lighting the shit out of an alien vessel for a short time

There are quite many friendly fire cases due to AA fire during WW2.
Not just bullets, fragmentation from flak shells too.

Imagine if ships now were also covered to the brim with 20mm Phalanx guns instead of having a couple or 2 pairs at most
logistically impossible, the amount of ammo that would be needed to outfit every warship in out fleet with 20+ phalanx rotary auto cannons would be astronomical, not to mention the gun's price, power supply, ect
All those USS ships, use Radar-Assisted FCS + Search-Radar for targeting the main gun and AA, I don't want to be piloting aircraft against those USS ships! They are (probably) shooting the weight of the ship in a 1-2 hour period of non-stop shooting! P.S Respect to both sides, for giving the best they could, despite the risk of losing their life!

Brave heroic men.
I cant simply understand what were japanese generals and the Imperator of Japan, Hirohito, thinking when they decided to wage war on such a more industrially, demographically, economically, more techonological and with an territory which japanese army would not have a single chance to occupy. Attacking Pearl Harbor was simply the first massive Banzai fucked-up lunatic and suicidal attack on USA. Japan couldnt win USA, even if it won the Midway Battle and take out Hawai. Americans had an industrial capacity of building up an huge army, fleet and navy incredibly stronger, faster and more efficient than Japan. The war of the Pacific was like a sake drunk Bruce Lee trying to knockout someone the size of Brock Lesnar. No matter how many hits you make on your enemy, the size of your enemy is incredibly bigger than yours and this criteria of size of forces defines the definition of a war right at the beggining of the fight. Can someone with more knowledge about Second World War tell me why Japan waged war on US? They could simply stay sanctioned by US and without US oil, but there was no need to declare war on americans. Maybe fanaticism on japanese generals thinking can explain that, but its too simplified of an argument.
Rafael Medina The Japanese leadership were trying to buy time. They thought that if they could secure Indonesion oil their navy would be able to hold back the US Navy indefinitely.
They thought that if they hit us first and damaged us enough we would call for a truce, We were boycotting them and blockading them, they could not get supplies for Japan, so they attacked china and Burma and other countries to enlarge japans pantry but they miscalculated and got into one heck of a war. I know this is a simplification but its close.
Rameez yeap, US teased Japan to an agressive move, but Japan was the first to attack China and Korea, killing thousands of civilians, like in Nanking massacre. Japan could try to make a deal with US and withdrwal from China, but japanese generals were too proud for admitting they couldnt withstand american military power. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 and again made the same move in 1995. When US menaced Saddam Hussein with another counter-offensive, Saddam Hussein withdrawaled from Kuwait because he knew it would be another bloodbath, just like it was in the road of death., when iraqi convoys were trapped by american thunderbolts and decimated like turkeys.
AmPatriot Smith good rebuttal.
Rameez Your misinforming people on here. The Japanese had designs on controlling Asia. They admired the Nazis and joined an alliance with them. They wanted the oil to fuel their war machine, so we put an oil embargo on them. They aggressively went into China, raping and murdering as the US looked on. (We were reluctant to get into an other war after coming out of the First World War. In the meantime, the Nazis were pursuing their ambitions in Europe). The United States stood in the way of Japan pursuing her ambitions to control Asia. When the Japanese sunk our first line battleships ported at Pearl Harbor, that was an invitation to war. The Japanese at that time were fanatics
