@@ForageGardener yeah, I saw a historian (a bloody historian) say his daughter asked where the women are and he couldn't face to tell her they didn't fly combat. So many instances of roles being rewritten to suit current day narratives
You noticed too? From the Solomons thru island hopping, Navy ran that show. McArthur initial plan was disapproved. And he was against island hopping, only wanted to go to Philippines.
@@doncornell6793 did you notice what he said when he came ashore in the Philippines? He said "quote" I HAVE RETURNED....no mention of those ARMY,NAVY and the MARINES . He should of said I give thanks to those who fought and died to get to where we are now . Really a shame the glory hog got credit to which he should not have .
Growing up watching old history channel before the plague of Pawn Stars. I never imagined there would be so many great documentaries on RUclips for free.
Watching all these documentaries has taught me how little my schooling "education" taught me. And how much what I want and need to know about now has changed. If it was ever told to me how important and severe these events were, I might have cared to learn about them earlier and been able to establish what I believe and assert my life for instead of being told what to think. Now, how do you get younger people to care to learn this lesson earlier in their life so that it truly doesn't happen again.
There is a good bit of nonsense here. Such as the suggestion that Jaopan was a peaceful country before the Depression or that nobody in the U..S. expected war [6:45] The United States had cracked the Japanese diplomatic (purple) code. The Aadministration and the military knew very well that they were preparing for war.
Japan wanted to be isolationist but the US forced them to open up and coerced them into signing horrible trading “agreements.” This ushered into the Meiji restoration, and Japan felt they had to expand or else they would be colonized like other Asian countries.
The Real Nonsense of this video is the music that plays at some points.....I'm pretty sure that kinda rock and roll came after WW2, and it doesn't fit. War should not be glamorized like that to begin with! This type of documentary sucks, and gives people wrong impressions.

Mccarthur had nothing to do with Guadalcanal and was against it, That is why the Marines under the Navy were used for the invasion, He would not commit the US Army to the battle. It was all Admirals King, Nimitz and Halsey and Marine Gen. Vandergrift
@@robertwatson9359 You are correct about MacArthur. He even convinced Giormly. He wanted nothing to do with Guadalcanal because he was not in command. Mac Arthur wanted to command the entire Pacific Theater. Most of MacASrthur's combat forces in 1942 and much of 43 were Australian. The person responsible for Guadalcanal was Adm. King. Who unlike MacArthur had one semi-ready division--the First Marine Division. Of course, Nimitz, Halsey, and Vandergrift masterly executed King's orders, but King was the driving force behind Guadalcanal.
Mac Author was a good general to some, but he had zero contributions to the island hopping compain, other the new Guinea and the Philippines, besides the fact that the army has zero control over the Marines that falls to the navy and Nimitz
He should have been prosecuted just like they prosecuted the two highest generals from Pearl Harbor which I think was bulshit but if they were prosecuted he should have been prosecuted for the Philippines
No. Too many mistakes. Capture Papua New Guinea. No capture Port Moresby on the island of New Guinea. PNG is the name of the country post independence.
Fails to mention the entry of The Soviet Union into the war against Japan in August 1945. This also had a major effect on Japanese thinking about surrendering'
My father was a gunner in a B25 in Burma. He died in 2023 at 98 years old. He said to me not long before.. what your seeing now in America is what Germany and Japan saw back in the 30s with crazy Nationalist trying to take over.
By the way, MacArthur didn't fly out of the Phillipines, he was taken by boat to Australia, Nimitz and Yamamoto did not command the fleets at Coral sea... and footage taken on most locations does not correspond to narration...

Thankfully I looked through the comments before wasting any time on this video. 90% of the World War II videos out there are not blurred out. It's only 10% of the people who are shaking in their shoes, afraid of getting a strike. Not only will I find another video but I'll downvote this one for obvious reasons.
In my opinion, the pacific war is a war that cost a lot of American soldiers' lives and was the bloodiest in the history of the second world war. The Japanese Empire at that time was not easy to lose and surrender. That's why I think so
Having talked to hundreds of WW2 veterans I can tell you that every one of them would have gone to their home island and wade into them stacking the enemy like cords of wood. They also said that the public was right there with them. So I take issue with the narrator when he says the American government feared the public might tire of a prolonged war.
A lot of people were tiring of the war, but I doubt anyone was wanting to stop it before the Allies won unconditionally. We spent too much in blood and treasure to leave it half-assed (like Korea and just about every engagement since then).
Harvard still had standards at the time, but attending a course at Harvard did not make Yamoto Harvard-educated.

Very poor research. MacArthur had nothing to do with Guadalcanal. It was a In fact a Navy/Marine operation. In fact, he opposed the whole Guadalcanal action. The initial landing on Guadalcanal was unopposed, They did not get to the airfield until the second day.

@@chipsawdust5816 Absolutely correct. Ironically the original map had the eastern dividing line running through Lunga Point!. They moved the line ever so slightly.
It was Chester Nimitz who organized the island hoping campaign in the central and northern pacific, including Alaska. MacArthur was only a coward, blood thirsty, arrogance, high ego general who ran away from the Philippines. He "returned" to the Philippines was with full support of Nimitz. Imagine he was so "disappointed" and angry that the airforce dropped actomic bombs and ended the war. He wanted to invade Japan by land and prepare to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of young Americans so he can claim glory. History has been too kind to him!
@@dukeford8893 I keep hearing ppl say this about all these WW2 documentaries what's so inaccurate about the documentary???? Because it's on a British channel???? I'm just curious to know cuz I only ever hear ppl ever say that about this channel for some reason
Interesting to note: seems no matter what the Japanese planners attempted the US had a solution. Also interesting to note, Halsey said that the War College had been wargamming what a war in the Pacific would look like against Japan, "...since 1923...", just after Japan's taking care of business in the Japanese-Russo War. So no surprise that both the strategy and tactics worked so well across a huge domain against a very formidable foe.
Some serious mistakes in this overview. I mean, I haven’t seen such a miss on the naval battle of Leyte. Center force was attacked first, Musashi sunk, Center force retreats. The southern force was not attacked by planes but by USN surface units including PT’s, destroyers, cruisers and battleships (many of the Pearl survivors). Then, the following morning, Halsey took the bait on the northern force while Kurita brought the center force back thru san bernardino straight into Leyte. But for real, how can you just skip over the battle of Samar / Taffy 3??? Not to mention the lack of insight into the incredible naval battles of Guadalcanal. Very strange you missed all of this.
This video is what I would call directionally accurate but really loose with the details. For example, neither Nimitz or Yamamoto participated directly in the battle of coral sea. The Japanese codes were not completely broken. Checkout the Unauthorized History of the Pacific War for a much more thorough review of the Pacific war.
This war docu is impresive, but they don 't show the atack and occupation of the Dutch Indies( Indonesia) why? Maybe because it's a British docu. The Dutch Indies where producing a lot of oil, nessecary for the war effort. But compliments for the docu in total.
Naval battles using aircraft carriers, sea born planes changed naval tactics. No more large battle ships, cruisers with large guns like at the Battle if Jutland in WW1. Instead in WW2 Japanese planes strike at Pearl Harbour bombing the US capital ships, destroying planes at the outlying US airbases. But luckily for the US the aircraft carrier fleet was not there. It was at sea proforming fleet exercises. To me a classic case of "There but for the grace of god go I". So the carriers survived. While Japanese airforce carry on destroying US airforce planes such as in the Philippines then attack the island. Another change in warfare is support of ground troops by aircraft. Overall airplanes can not only attack on land but at sea.
I'm gonna pause to say MacArthur didn't fly to Australia. He was taken by PT boat. Also, he didn't follow the U.S. war plans which made us less prepared. That led to Japan capturing a lot of soldiers, U.S. and Pilipino very quickly. The result was the death march. Japan's cruelty was terrible--MacArthur made it worse.
30 seconds in…….. it failed for 3 reasons. 1. Carriers not in port 2. Japan Failed to take out the oil reserves 3. Japan Failed to recognize the importance of and take out repair yards. If they would have taken out fuel reserves and destroyed the ability to repair ships, then the carriers not being there is much less consequential and Japan still takes the most important asset in the Pacific , Pearl Harbor itself.
Propaganda, but NOT History, has led us to believe that the Empire of Japan began its territorial expansion in the 1930’s, invading China, creating the puppet State of Manchukuo and “Provoking” the war with the Western Powers. But, Was this really, how events happened? Did Japan invade China and South East Asia? It seems so. However, the Propaganda does NOT say that for centuries, all Asia was invaded by Western Powers. England occupied India, Burma (Myanmar); Borneo, Sumatra, Singapore, Malaysia and China (Hong Kong, Nanking, Shanghai, etc). France dominated all Indochina. The Netherlands intervened by the Force of its Arms, to all of Indonesia. And Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and of course, also the United States were in South East Asia cuz, for example this country, the US, occupied the Philippines since 1898. (Spanish-American War). Thus the panorama in the 30's, the Empire of Japan, when defeating to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it also decided to "Grow" by invading its neighbors. In those years, all European nations had colonies in Africa, India, the Middle East, Australia, Asia and America. (England came to occupy almost ¼ part of the planet). For its part, the US, in 113 years of existence as a nation in those years, had "Grown" 711 the size of its territory from its original 13 colonies. Now is the picture clear? Japan for its part, had fought on the side of the winners in World War I (1914-1918), and they, the Japanese, not awarded any "Gain". The western victors of WWI divided the world. Japan was excluded. Thus, Japan's motives for attacking and expanding as the Europeans and the US did seem clearer, right? Then they, the Japanese, attacked China in 1931, which was occupied by 6 Western Powers for almost a century. None of the Western Powers occupying China at this time, OPPOSED or fought Japan for Invading China. NONE! Then, 11 years later after having occupied the territory of China and coexisted without any problem with the Western Powers within China, they, the Japanese, attacked Hawaii, which in turn, this Island had been occupied and annexed by the US in 1898. (In 1900-01, Hawaii became US territory and Hawaii ceased to be an independent nation after more than 630 years of sovereignty. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had just completed the 40th anniversary of the military occupation and annexation of Hawaii). They, the Japanese, attacked Singapore, which was then a Colony of England. They, the Japanese, attacked the Philippines, which were occupied by the US and whose Gov’r, Douglas MacArthur reined as Emperor. Yup… Truly like an Absolute Autocrat. Therefore, the Japanese did NOT attack (In the 40’s), Singapore, Burma, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Timor, the Philippines, etc. In reality, the Japanese attacked England, France, Holland, the US, etc. That is, the Japanese attacked the Western Powers invading all of Asia. That is the verifiable truth. The Empire of Japan didn’t invade. Japan fought against the Invaders. The Japanese didn't start the War. The War in, and for, Asia had begun in 1847. And here are some other facts to consider: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the Marquesas Island. (Massacre. 1813). US Forces seize Nuku Hiva Island (French Polynesia 1813), and establish here «The First US Naval Base», in the Pacific. This historical fact is important, cuz in 1813, the US had NO Territorial Land nor Maritime Rights in the Pacific Ocean, until 1848, when the US seized California and other Mexican territories facing the Pacific. Oh, yes! The Wars to dominate Asia are not over yet. The last one was in Vietnam and the most recent will be on the Island of Taiwan. But, Propaganda has made us believe that the good guys were us, the US. And of course… Nanking was a horrendous Genocide committed by Japan, but, it was no more horrendous than the 12 Genocides committed by the United States in his History and all over the world. Nor was it less horrendous than the Genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium, in Central Africa. Nor was Nanking more or less horrendous than the Genocides that the British Empire committed in America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, India and also in China too. In the Philippines (1898-1902), the US Army produced a Genocide of One Million people dead. Yup: ONE MILLION. And now, the Japanese are our friends and allies. But, to fight against China, AGAIN!!! Well… No More. No More British Malaya nor British Borneo nor British wherever. No More French Indochina. No more Dutch Indies. No More Portugese Domains. No More US Domain here. Asia is for Asians and “The China Sea” belongs to CHINA. Westerns powers have nothing to do in Asia. NOTHING!!!

After Pearl Harbor harbour dec-7 on its way back to Japan why did not adm. Yamamoto swund by and captured Mid-way?? Would be a of cake for Yamamoto! Hence would kept us pacific fleet at bay!
What if, what if what if, blah blah I got one, what if we knew all the details of a possible Nip hit on Pearl Harbor? And all of our planes were airborne, not lined up like ducks in a row None of our destroyers or battleships were docked Result would have been much much different
He had no invasion force. You can't take and hold those islands just with carriers - which needed to be re-supplied. That was logistically impossible in 1941.
Why have they blurred out what needs to be seen? What are they trying to teach when the whole truth is not shown? I really hate when someone thinks they have the power to make decisions for me or anyone else and diminish the real truth.
Not exactly. We hadn't completely broken their code, but we managed to find out that AF was Midway through a clever ruse. A big part of what messed up the Japanese was their lousy air patrol operations from the attack force.
They weren't? Then why were the carriers that went there part of Kido Butai? It was hoped that the Americans would respond to the Aleutian attack, but the US already knew the main thrust was going to be Midway, so the ruse didn't work.

The southern force was not attacked by planes but by USN surface units including PT’s, destroyers, cruisers and battleships (many of the Pearl survivors). Then, the following morning, Halsey took the bait on the northern force while Kurita brought the center force back thru san bernardino straight into Leyte. But for real, how can you just skip over the battle of Samar / Taffy 3??? Not to mention the lack of insight into the incredible naval battles of Guadalcanal. Very strange you missed all of this.
Your knowledge of these battles is impressive !! I listen to these daily and I could not see things as clearly as yourself so take a bow sir !!!
You're right - they skipped a lot of significant stuff. I guess to save time? But the story of Taffy 3 should be told a thousand times.
During war Japan never upgraded the zero no protection they finally lost all the experienced pilots what war they thinking apparently they wasn't
BLURRING PROTECTS WHO ???? A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS !!!!
Americans always willing to help, see from german to pacific and asia
This video is what I would call directionally accurate but really loose with the details.
For example, neither Nimitz or Yamamoto participated directly in the battle of coral sea.
The Japanese codes were not completely broken.
Checkout the Unauthorized History of the Pacific War for a much more thorough review of the Pacific war.
This war docu is impresive, but they don 't show the atack and occupation of the Dutch Indies( Indonesia) why? Maybe because it's a British docu. The Dutch Indies where producing a lot of oil, nessecary for the war effort.
But compliments for the docu in total.
While I agree there are many mistakes that people gleefully point out. They forget these videos are free so you get what you pay for.
You should used the scene from movie Midway where kaga explode
All this bloodshed, and for what? Today, I drive a Honda.
Naval battles using aircraft carriers, sea born planes changed naval tactics. No more large battle ships, cruisers with large guns like at the Battle if Jutland in WW1.
Instead in WW2 Japanese planes strike at Pearl Harbour bombing the US capital ships, destroying planes at the outlying US airbases. But luckily for the US the aircraft carrier fleet was not there. It was at sea proforming fleet exercises. To me a classic case of "There but for the grace of god go I". So the carriers survived. While Japanese airforce carry on destroying US airforce planes such as in the Philippines then attack the island. Another change in warfare is support of ground troops by aircraft.
Overall airplanes can not only attack on land but at sea.
Great footage but far too many simple mistakes for me to list.
I'm gonna pause to say MacArthur didn't fly to Australia. He was taken by PT boat. Also, he didn't follow the U.S. war plans which made us less prepared. That led to Japan capturing a lot of soldiers, U.S. and Pilipino very quickly. The result was the death march. Japan's cruelty was terrible--MacArthur made it worse.
My eyes keep going blurry
Be nice if you knew your history!
I starts with Pearl harbour? No, it started in 1937
That or Manchuria in 1931.
For Americans the war began with Pearl Harbor
For US, America, it was and forever will be Pearl Harbor! God almighty! Don't play both of us to be stupid!
Us soldiers are the only ones who actually believe it's wrong to kill even in war and death is not a option unless it's the only option or the holiest
Ah so
I stopped watching when the stated MacArthur flew our of the Philippines!
No they weren't
Is it my imagination or are there commercials every 5 minutes. Freaking RUclips.
Three major destroyer’s not in harbor? Much like no jets scrambling from Aberdeen to Pentagon? 🤔
30 seconds in…….. it failed for 3 reasons. 1. Carriers not in port 2. Japan Failed to take out the oil reserves 3. Japan Failed to recognize the importance of and take out repair yards. If they would have taken out fuel reserves and destroyed the ability to repair ships, then the carriers not being there is much less consequential and Japan still takes the most important asset in the Pacific , Pearl Harbor itself.
What is the logic having most of your eggs in one basket when Germany, Russia and Japan are on the rampage.
The Japanese should have been made to apologise for the atrocities that their armed forces carried out, & that includes their Emporer.
Propaganda, but NOT History, has led us to believe that the Empire of Japan began its territorial expansion in the 1930’s, invading China, creating the puppet State of Manchukuo and “Provoking” the war with the Western Powers. But, Was this really, how events happened? Did Japan invade China and South East Asia? It seems so. However, the Propaganda does NOT say that for centuries, all Asia was invaded by Western Powers. England occupied India, Burma (Myanmar); Borneo, Sumatra, Singapore, Malaysia and China (Hong Kong, Nanking, Shanghai, etc). France dominated all Indochina. The Netherlands intervened by the Force of its Arms, to all of Indonesia. And Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and of course, also the United States were in South East Asia cuz, for example this country, the US, occupied the Philippines since 1898. (Spanish-American War). Thus the panorama in the 30's, the Empire of Japan, when defeating to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it also decided to "Grow" by invading its neighbors. In those years, all European nations had colonies in Africa, India, the Middle East, Australia, Asia and America. (England came to occupy almost ¼ part of the planet). For its part, the US, in 113 years of existence as a nation in those years, had "Grown" 711 the size of its territory from its original 13 colonies. Now is the picture clear? Japan for its part, had fought on the side of the winners in World War I (1914-1918), and they, the Japanese, not awarded any "Gain". The western victors of WWI divided the world. Japan was excluded. Thus, Japan's motives for attacking and expanding as the Europeans and the US did seem clearer, right? Then they, the Japanese, attacked China in 1931, which was occupied by 6 Western Powers for almost a century. None of the Western Powers occupying China at this time, OPPOSED or fought Japan for Invading China. NONE! Then, 11 years later after having occupied the territory of China and coexisted without any problem with the Western Powers within China, they, the Japanese, attacked Hawaii, which in turn, this Island had been occupied and annexed by the US in 1898. (In 1900-01, Hawaii became US territory and Hawaii ceased to be an independent nation after more than 630 years of sovereignty. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had just completed the 40th anniversary of the military occupation and annexation of Hawaii). They, the Japanese, attacked Singapore, which was then a Colony of England. They, the Japanese, attacked the Philippines, which were occupied by the US and whose Gov’r, Douglas MacArthur reined as Emperor. Yup… Truly like an Absolute Autocrat. Therefore, the Japanese did NOT attack (In the 40’s), Singapore, Burma, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Timor, the Philippines, etc. In reality, the Japanese attacked England, France, Holland, the US, etc. That is, the Japanese attacked the Western Powers invading all of Asia. That is the verifiable truth. The Empire of Japan didn’t invade. Japan fought against the Invaders. The Japanese didn't start the War. The War in, and for, Asia had begun in 1847. And here are some other facts to consider: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the Marquesas Island. (Massacre. 1813). US Forces seize Nuku Hiva Island (French Polynesia 1813), and establish here «The First US Naval Base», in the Pacific. This historical fact is important, cuz in 1813, the US had NO Territorial Land nor Maritime Rights in the Pacific Ocean, until 1848, when the US seized California and other Mexican territories facing the Pacific. Oh, yes! The Wars to dominate Asia are not over yet. The last one was in Vietnam and the most recent will be on the Island of Taiwan. But, Propaganda has made us believe that the good guys were us, the US. And of course… Nanking was a horrendous Genocide committed by Japan, but, it was no more horrendous than the 12 Genocides committed by the United States in his History and all over the world. Nor was it less horrendous than the Genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium, in Central Africa. Nor was Nanking more or less horrendous than the Genocides that the British Empire committed in America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, India and also in China too. In the Philippines (1898-1902), the US Army produced a Genocide of One Million people dead. Yup: ONE MILLION. And now, the Japanese are our friends and allies. But, to fight against China, AGAIN!!! Well… No More. No More British Malaya nor British Borneo nor British wherever. No More French Indochina. No more Dutch Indies. No More Portugese Domains. No More US Domain here. Asia is for Asians and “The China Sea” belongs to CHINA. Westerns powers have nothing to do in Asia. NOTHING!!!

Own power ther
After Pearl Harbor harbour dec-7 on its way back to Japan why did not adm. Yamamoto swund by and captured Mid-way?? Would be a of cake for Yamamoto!
Hence would kept us pacific fleet at bay!
What if, what if what if, blah blah
I got one, what if we knew all the details of a possible Nip hit on Pearl Harbor?
And all of our planes were airborne, not lined up like ducks in a row
None of our destroyers or battleships were docked
Result would have been much much different
He was afraid because the carriers were at sea.
He had no invasion force. You can't take and hold those islands just with carriers - which needed to be re-supplied. That was logistically impossible in 1941.

There is no such thing as extreme nationalism.
Why have they blurred out what needs to be seen? What are they trying to teach when the whole truth is not shown? I really hate when someone thinks they have the power to make decisions for me or anyone else and diminish the real truth.
That's YT policy, not the content provider.
The only end result for national propaganda is national pain.
Amateurish Japanese intelligence led to success at Midway.
Not exactly. We hadn't completely broken their code, but we managed to find out that AF was Midway through a clever ruse.
A big part of what messed up the Japanese was their lousy air patrol operations from the attack force.
The anglo union were on the wrong side.
😂❤.
Also, the Aleutians were not a diversionary attack.
They weren't? Then why were the carriers that went there part of Kido Butai? It was hoped that the Americans would respond to the Aleutian attack, but the US already knew the main thrust was going to be Midway, so the ruse didn't work.
no thanks censor stories
