This is a pretty decent vid to enjoy while driving, as the visual appeal factor is non-distracting. But if I’m sitting and eating, I’m gonna want footage, or a variety of different photos at minimum. Still, fantastic content, cheers!
My father, Edwin Koops, Corporal USMC was a gun crew member on USS Portland in this battle, his account of their gunnery actions and hits against the Japanese battleship while steaming in circles from a torpedo hit was gripping…He said the air and water was filled with shells and torpedoes….
The Japanese definitely had ‘Victory Disease’ The immense folly of sending a few hundred soldiers and mostly construction troops to a frontline position instead of advancing in force , was extreme. Then their first counter attack straight at the Americans when you’re outnumbered 10:1 was equally idiotic. Finally though more defendable ; the Japanese cruisers decided Not to destroy the American transports after destroying the defending forces was again inexcusable.
You make it sound simple. Japan did not want to attack the Americans but Americans left them no choice. US embargoed oil to Japan after numerous attempts at diplomacy over the China Japan war. Japan is not a nation rich in oil and is a major importer of war. Often forgotten, Japan attacked the Philippines which does have oil. The Philippines and Guam were attacked simultaneously with Pearl Harbor. FDR only mentioned the Pearl Harbor in his speech and now documented speech redacted talking about the Phillipines because Americans don’t care about their unincorporated islands to get support. Pearl Harbor was attacked to delay the support for the Phillipines and start fortifying the islands for trade.
@@Jim-ni9ek that’s not at all what I said. Please reread. It wasn’t japans intent to fight America. America cut off 85% of japans oil import and were FORCED to retaliate to continue their war efforts in China.
I never understood why the Japanese attacked the US. There was a reasonable chance that the isolationists in the US would have kept the US out of the war if they were not directly attacked. They didn’t NEED the Philippines, The Philippines had no materiel that Japan needed.
The Philippines lay on the supply route to everything they wanted in the Dutch East Indies. They had to take the Philippines in order for them to get the oil home.
@@edwardmantler3810 You do understand that the Philippines are a bunch of islands right? There is no need to stop in the Philippines when going from Indonesia to Japan.
Japan lost from the taking by attacking a country with twice the population, 26 times the landmass, 47 times as many factories, an endless supply of every natural resource that Japan didn’t have and 500 times as much fuel. _That_ was their mistake.
@@centerfiresuppressionllc682 what he is saying is the "progressives" that were crippling the country in the 30s are back at it to this day, to bring the country down from within. Lot of similarity between "progressives" and marxists and communists.
I doubt there are any images or videos about WW2 I have not seen. I grew up with a WW2 vet, and we watched the Prudential Insurance 20th Century every Sunday evening for years. My dad was a history buff and lived through the war. He had first hand knowledge and added interesting side comments while we watched. I am fine not being distracted with images and video that many times are not even accurately portraying the narrative.

My Grandfather was at Henderson Field for all this. But he mainly talked about Malaria? Lol. Love that Old Guy. Sure miss Him.
The commentator paints a vivid portrait of events occurring during the battles. Very good job a definite thumbs up and subscription!
This are wonderful presentations! No visual distractions and loaded with details you don't get in other traditional offerings. Thank you Mark.
Well-edited “visuals” are seldom a distraction. I do miss them, but this works for audio, and those rare times when you can’t watch and listen.

The lack of decision making by the U.S. navy is maddening.

The Japanese shouldn't have started something they couldn't finish.

@@josephsamberg2899 so the Japanese attacked first with no warning, but it wasn't their fault? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jim-ni9ek that’s not at all what I said. Please reread. It wasn’t japans intent to fight America. America cut off 85% of japans oil import and were FORCED to retaliate to continue their war efforts in China.
@@josephsamberg2899 your excuses are awesome 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jim-ni9ek if you don’t believe me there are plenty of documents to read about it. Go do the research yourself.
The Japanese admiral's name is pronounced AH-bay....not 'Abe' as in Abe Lincoln.

@@edwardmantler3810
The Philippines does not lay on the supply route at all.
Just like today it is totally ignored on any supply route.
@@edwardmantler3810
You do understand that the Philippines are a bunch of islands right?
There is no need to stop in the Philippines when going from Indonesia to Japan.
They attacked because of the presence of Americans.
The decisions of The Nipponese junta were based on unrealistic arrogance and a belief that Americans were soft cowards.
I agree tha one photo is very boring . Please identify the carrier depicted
Thought Truk was pronounced the same as truck. Either way the natives now call it chuk.
Olde English A.I.How uncool is that?
Trook
They were the Untited Sates only. No other Countries in the Continent were invilved😢. Getva map and finish education😢.
So what?!
YES BUT WHAT SIDE WILL LOSE IN THE END, MISTAKES ARE BEING MADE.😢😊
Huh?

We will never know.
Boring... No change in the photo to reflect the Narrative. YAWN... 😮
The narrative is the interesting part. You can listen without watching and rest your eyes.
I listen to these as an audiobook.

Unlike the books you read. A picture on each page.
Maby you would take a round like those guys in the 110deg heat.
AI voice still stinks.
loll pop bc 21:53 is 21:54 22:07 Çvvħo bc
Terrible editing. Every other cut starts mid-word or second word into the script.
