Hey, give Hirohito some credit. The man went willingly into the US Embassy expecting to be arrested, tried, and executed just to have a cup of tea with MacArthur. He knew that if he wanted, he could continue resisting and the people would stand with him and yet he chose to give himself up, even greatly assisting MacArthur in promoting and establishing a democracy in Japan.

Hirohito's character is very far from dictator. He is always calmly and speaking slowly. He prefers to study biology. But sadly he wasn't able to avoid to be the symbol of army.
The Empire of Japan is a constitutional monarchy, and according to the system, if the Emperor appoints the Prime Minister, he can choose the Prime Minister from among the members, regardless of whether they belong to the opposition party or the ruling party. However, because Hirohito did not want to undermine the will of the people, he did not appoint a member of the party other than the ruling party as prime minister.

I was on a presidential detail back in89’. It was with President Bush for his visit for Emperor Hirohito’s funeral. While there I worked with the Japanese special police and exchanged gifts with one of the officers. I’m not sure I realized the historical period I was experiencing. I was a young Marine and had of course studied the Island hopping campaign of WW2, was stationed in Okinawa, and the Philippines while in, but really didn’t know enough about what I was witnessing at the time. My apologies to the Japanese people, and any embarrassment I may have brought the uniform I wore and those I represented. I could have been much better. Hirohito’ died the same year my Grandpa passed. He was a Marine and served in the Philippines in WW1.
"....the leadership of Japanese emperor Hirohito was put to the test." Exactly, and putting aside every evils he did, his leadership during aftermath of atom bombing was amazing indeed
@@FailedtoVerify Exactly. From childhood Hirohito was raised to accept having every aspect of his life dictated to him. He once described his life as like that of a bird in a gilded cage.
@@FailedtoVerify That's not true at all. Hirohito was the true political and military head of japan. Every military decision had to be approved by him, and it was. He never used his power to call for peace and approved the atrocities commited by the IJA.
The emperor wasn't killed because both sides signed a conditional surrender in which Japan stated that the emperor must be able to still remain emperor and that he was to get no sanctions, the japanese decided that Hirohito was to remain a figurehead, not he US. I believe there were about 7 conditions that if accepted Japan would surrender, and since the US didn't want to have to invade mainland Japan they decided to accept. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Tojo: Tries to take the easy way out by shooting himself in the chest but misses his heart and is saved by American medics. Hirohito: Is willing to take the fall for the sins of Tojo and the other Imperial military leaders if it means saving Japan and his people from further misery, suffering, and death.
@@Johnny.Picklez I'm sorry if I misled you, because the years I wrote were the "Showa" years; I was actually in Japan '84 to '87. I really enjoyed my time there, it was wonderful. Yes, the young people really loved American things, especially clothing styles.

Without the emperor's of Japan we can't write the history of Japan. For good or bad the Japan emperors has played a major role in in the Japanese history and today's Japan as well. By the way I personally had a lot of respect on the previous emperor's of Japan and the current emperor of Japan. !!!!!
Actually, for ~7 centuries (beginning at the end of the 1100s, to the end of the 1800s), the highest (political) authority in Japan had been held by the shogun (several dynasties), not (by) the emperor. In the modern history (of Japan), it was only between 1868-1945 that the emperor held the highest political authority in Japan (emperors Meiji/Mutsuhito, Taisho/Yoshihito, and Hirohito); as for the contemporary history of Japan (since 1945), it's the prime-minister (of Japan) that holds the highest political authority in Japan (again, not the emperor).
Here’s the thing, even if someone involves himself, passes whatever bills, does anything, there will always be that portion that will do the wrong thing when people’s backs are turned. I don’t completely blame him, though he does have some responsibility there.
He's is so bias, I don't even know where to begin. Although Hirohito is the head of state, he doesn't even have same the power as other European monarch. He's seen as a symbol of unity and killing him would only trigger even the most liberal Japanese. Documentaries like this really makes me cringe so hard by the obvious super nationalistic point of view these series had.
Aiman do you actually understand what liberal means. It means you believe In freedom. Japan didn't believe in freedom so why would a liberal get triggered. Do you believe In freedom
whatever happens happens Emperor Hirohito wasn't just an emperor but a part of Japanese culture and heritage. Like the Royal Family is seen in Britain but put to the extreme. There were literally millions of Japanese people who would die for the emperor and the US feared that if they killed him than they would see mass suicides in Japan. Also Hirohito was more of a puppet than the puppetmaster and was manipulated by his generals. He never knew of the atrocities commited by his army because no one bothered to tell him.
whatever happens happens it isn't bad it's just some liberals tend to go too far left and start wanting more radical things. The only reason I really would support Republicans is on their stance on gun laws. I don't have any problem with the LGBTQ community and I also believe climate change exists etc. All the other republican policies I don't really agree with but I also don't agree with the Democrat's policies

You forgot to mention Pearl Harbor and the island hopping strategy that resulted in thousands of American and British deaths and how Hirohito supported Suicide attacks on the Allies.
@Abdur Rahman All jokes. "His hair looks like this, he looks like Ricegum, Jepen, etc. Barely any serious comments about the topic... kinda sad people wanna meme everything
J M that would be ridiculously hypocritical for the Americans. Perhaps they can punish Hirohito if they wanted (and even then it’s very unclear who started the whole mess), but dragging his children into it just because of what he may have done goes against the idea of the Americans being liberators. If the Japanese found out about this they would have destroyed themselves rather than peacefully come under the control of the Americans.
If u look at him the first time he don't look like he'd hurt someone but obce u know who he is it would change your way of thinking people's personality
It's important to get history from multiple sources. This guy glossed over everything and totally misrepresented what actually happened. History channel, where the truth is history.
I cant believe the HISTORY channel doesnt know that Hirohito was staunchly against the invasion of Manchuria, inner Mongolia and China itself, however he couldnt do anything to stop it without being deposed, and his handpicked successor likely would have ushered the invasion forward

Hey Hirohito and Heinrich himmler looks dangerously similar on spectacles!
And Tojo!
I'm from Thailand i love Hirohito very much ❤️🇹🇭 big boy Asia
I LOVE HISTORY
Ngl, Hirohito looks like my principal at my old primary school.
😂
I can’t believe he was allowed to live let alone stay free. And he lived to die of old age. What a tragedy
he shouldve been warcrimed
U do realise...that even if he wanted to surrender fr peace...the general public/other military rank people wouldn't agree with him and outthrown him fr new leader
@@casper8849 You clearly don't know how imperial Japan functioned fundamentally if you think that.
Mr. Hirohito have nice hair really
Out of the way Hirohito - The Pacific movie
We all pray that, His Imperial Highness Hirohito, may rest in peace. And pray that his soul may find re-assurance for the wisdom of this generation.
Hirohito looked the same for like 50 years
Good job 👍 of Japan 🇯🇵
Hirohito unifrom its like a world boss
My Mexican friend looks like emperor Hirohito
Not Myles I’m Mexican too actually and in Mexico there are Asians too living there
@@S1lence06 are you sure they're asians? or are they natives?
battotai slaps ngl he had good taste in music
You forgot to mention Pearl Harbor and the island hopping strategy that resulted in thousands of American and British deaths and how Hirohito supported Suicide attacks on the Allies.
TyDy Games 4 CRUEL YEARS
Atomic bombs?
well it wasnt him, he had no power..
It was the prime minister and the military
hideki tojo had all the power yes
On the thumbnail, Hirohito looks like an older version of Heinrich Himmler.
This comment section is the most millineal reaction to world history i've seen.
So superficial and sad.
@Abdur Rahman All jokes. "His hair looks like this, he looks like Ricegum, Jepen, etc.
Barely any serious comments about the topic... kinda sad people wanna meme everything
@@TripleIProductions lol
Triple I that’s the internet for you.
J M that would be ridiculously hypocritical for the Americans. Perhaps they can punish Hirohito if they wanted (and even then it’s very unclear who started the whole mess), but dragging his children into it just because of what he may have done goes against the idea of the Americans being liberators. If the Japanese found out about this they would have destroyed themselves rather than peacefully come under the control of the Americans.
That's right
Great documentary but what’s with 80”s score
Yeah, but you never defined “Shōwa.” I think it means “enlightened peace."
If your dead your actual enlightens. 😂
Wow!
Hirohito reminds me of my asian friend
1:43 ha he said this in man in high castle
If u look at him the first time he don't look like he'd hurt someone but obce u know who he is it would change your way of thinking people's personality
Hirohito isnt even a criminal
May god bless his pure soul.
昭和天皇に戦争責任は無いし、戦争犯罪者でも無い。逆に言うと、戦争を避けようとされていました。
Hear hear!
It's important to get history from multiple sources. This guy glossed over everything and totally misrepresented what actually happened. History channel, where the truth is history.
Tojo took all the blame when most should be on them
Are you Zach Afron?
Top 10 anime villains
I cant believe the HISTORY channel doesnt know that Hirohito was staunchly against the invasion of Manchuria, inner Mongolia and China itself, however he couldnt do anything to stop it without being deposed, and his handpicked successor likely would have ushered the invasion forward
私は右翼ではないが皇室は日本の伝統であり、歴史であって天皇陛下は偉大だと思う

Hirohito never wanted WW2, the generals took power and forced him to do it all.
We will never know until all documents are revealed. But long line the RISING SUN!
Alamkan Countryball proof?
@J M and I am so glad that the Philippines are getting hurricanes xD, and emojis make you so stupid lol
