I like what Indy Model said, "Japan wouldn't go to war with China, Great Britain, The Netherlands, France and the USA. That would be crazy, right?" It was Indy Nidel

That scumbags tainted his honor.

@Felix Gunner i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

"Nobody likes you when you're 23"

Lol people would just ask questions like yep 30,27,27,26,32,23,19,25 good people but not sure about 72 and 14. Call me 30 if you want to.

Lots of different Japanese names are like that, or they number the children. Ichiro is for a first born for instance (Ichi is one), traditionally children would rename themselves when they came of age (gempukku ceremony, like a bar mitzvah and a samurai exam, you show off what you have learned in dojo or wherever), so those names are kinda temporary. The names have outlived the gempukku ceremony however. Fairly common to have a name that is number and related to age or order or something anyways.

@@Lowlandlord thats actually a really interesting idea, kids naming themselves in a ceremony. Although, I probably would have given myself some stupid cheesy name like 'sky' lmao. I love many these Eastern traditions and religious cultures, often they're very different to the west. Somehow they can seem more human, logical, and applicable to a persons growth, as well as the growth of society. The Eastern religious can often seem more, sort of, scientific than a lot of western religions, if that makes sense. Also less population control and fear based, more based in critical thinking, character development, and peacefulness. Sorry for the wee ramble there haha, I swear I'm not stoned lmao.

Morale boost for them, and also an ending sign for the japanese empire.

the philipinos probably didn't like the Japanese but they probably hated the Americans more, (well at least initially I guess, I expect that the Japanese would be far harsher than the Americans were and far more brutal in dealing with dissent)

Yes that didn't make sense to me either, after all the pride of the Japanese fleet were it's aircraft carriers though I do believe that at that time the battleships were a more powerfull symbol to the American people as ac warfare was pretty much completely new to everyone and I heard that he allready stated that the war was basically lost when he realized the AC's turned out to not be in port, though that is hearsay

@@istoppedcaring6209 Yamamoto thought the whole war was a bad idea from the get go. He was against going to war with the United States. Yamamoto had spent a lot of time in the US and understood the American people wouldn't be a bunch of pushovers like many of his colleagues in Japan thought. After Pearl Harbor he famously wrote, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

@@ShamanMcLamie That quote was never proven but he probably thought something similar

@@balabanasireti either way he know IJA could never win against the USA Navy with their might. He only brought them more time. Honestly i blame the IJA more than IJN. The army still stupid and butthead with the navy not to realized that if any happen to the Navy then their homeland is doom. I mean come on they live island, the British knew this and priority their navy more than their army. Instead those 2 brand butthead each other is what cost them in the long run.

The decision to go ahead with the aerial ambush was approved by Secretary of War Frank Knox. The reasoning was that he was ‘probably the best man that the Japanese had’ from an American perspective, and was a legitimate target. Military analysts are split on their opinions regarding this move.....some of the more conservative feel that this was more of an assassination than a battle. One German analyst waxed poetic, decrying this as a ‘sneak murder’ by Admiral Nimitz. “As honors go between Hector and Achilles, Yamamoto deserved better than this sneak murder”.

Assasination than.

It had to be done, but I am saddened; with his death, the world was diminished.

@KT Chong wtf not only American do you know germany and japan were fighting multiple country

Yup, killed in action like so many others.

I’m pretty sure that would be his opinion of it. He was a soldier after all.

I disagree. Any time that you target a specific individual especially one in a high leadership position, that qualifies as an assassination.

The Battleship that refused to die. She was struck from the naval register after the war and was nuked twice, one of which she was painted in orange as the MAIN target. Following this she was subjected to 3 days of gunnery target practice by ships of the US Navy. After all this, she still refused to go down. A Coup de grâce was then given in the form of 1-2 torpedo(es) launched by torpedo bombers. You can watch her final moments here on youtube. It makes me a little sad to see it. She was a damn good ship.

Agreed

Yup!

we weren’t at war when they attacked pearl harbor...

we weren't at war at the time , I wonder if you would say the same if your family was there

@J M That's ignorant and false. Using atomic bombs is extremely immoral, especially used on civilians. You didn't see Germany or Russia using them even though they had much greater reason and interest in doing so.

@@REGdestRoy Neither the Germans or Russians (or anyone else for that matter) had atomic arms at that point. That alone proves you have no idea what was going on. Secondly it was widely known and proven by kamikaze, and the fire bombing of Tokyo that nothing short of atomic strikes or a full invasion would bring Japan to surrender. An invasion would have most likely cost millions of lives on both sides. In the end atomic bombs while as horrible as they were and are saved lives.

@@REGdestRoy Lol Japan was already using their civilians to fight the americans once they took over Okinawa, either way a lot of innocent japanese civilians would've died, by the hand of Japan or the americans. Lots of civilians were kamikazes aswell.

@@conchetumareweon2691 of course, japanese people , wouldn't like to defend their home and family anter their government declares war with major global powers.

NAILED IT COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT ANY CLEARER!!!!!

I'm sure that you don't know the whole story as to why the Japanese bombed Peal Harbor, do you? Or you would not make such a statement. I'm not saying that what was done was right but President Roosevelt was ITCHING to get us into that war.

Not quite as black and white, I read that Japan tried to declare war before but due to the mistake about time zones the declaration was done after the attack not before.

Please my friend, the States might be one of the most guiltiest party in the world on this regard. How many covert operations have your government had a hand in around the globe. How many governments have you toppled, societies thrown to chaos. If its you, its a preemptive strike, if its anyone else its a cowardly move

Lmao @ still buying this meme The US had full prior knowledge of the attack but didn't give a damn, they wanted an excuse for participation, they got it just like the Listuania

Very true, the Japanese studied Taranto in-depth, even going to the site and making notes. The idea of wooden additions to the torpedoes to allow them to run true was inspired by alterations made by the RN

4 videos if I'm not wrong.

Tomas: Indeed, very lazy editing. His graphic of the P-38 shows a P-51 flying in formation, a total anachronism for the South Pacific in 1943. I believe the P-38 is also carrying the white/black stripes of the 1944 Normandy invasion aircraft markings.

Tru3Times He's talking about how Yamamoto's name, Isoroku, was the age his father was when he was born (56), so he probably would've been named 69 if his father was 69 (Rokujūkyū)

Why? because he would be takashi 69?

@@vincivedivicilextalionas4036 navy iffy uh tojo got the stiffy uh

No. Though the Chinese characters spell out '56', the reading is not how you would say '56' in Japanese which is 'Go-jyu-roku'.

White Wolf Finally!

If I'm remembering correctly Yamamoto expected at least two carriers to be at pearl that day. The Enterprise and Lexington were carrying reinforcements to wake and midway and the saratoga was finishing a refit in San Deigo. He knew saratoga was not in theatre but expected enterprise and lexington to be there. As I understand it their absence gave him a great deal of anxiety and was the reason he ordered an immediate withdraw. Keep in mind radar was rudimentary at the time (the japanese didn't have it at all, and relied on scout planes) so fleet position was a complete cat and mouse game. I could be recalling incorrectly.

Did we really see battleships as becoming obsolete? It was my impression that they were still our naval pride, and their sinking forced carriers to take the limelight when they weren’t meant to be centerstage like that.

@@Kyle_Schaff Yes this is what I believe to be true at the time. Prior to Pearl and Midway Navies were all built around battleships. Planes were new tech, and most old school navy men thought that air power would merely provide scouting, troop and supply transport and the occasional harassing raid. Most admirals at the time in all navies thought that excluding the odd lucky shot that war planes would ever sink a battleship.

White Wolf I don’t agree Yamamoto fully felt that the US carriers were that important. While the IJN set the carrier priority as “high” in their target rankings just like battleships it wasn’t an ultimate goal. If carriers were the ultimate goal then the IJN simply would have set their “target” as “US Carriers” and not “Pearl Harbor”. See the difference? The IJN wanted to achieve a complete “surprise” which they achieved in Tora Tora Tora. Their goal was to create the maximum amount of damage with the least amount of expense. The best way to achieve this was to hit a bunch of immobile targets which is what they hit Pearl on a Sunday morning too. The only reason why Pearl Harbor doesn’t look so great is because of subsequent poor battle plans and their colossal blunder at Midway. Had the IJN used their own battleships at Midway they would have won. The US didn’t have battleships because of Pearl. Most US historians never want to pursue the IJN battleships angle at Midway because they know the Us would have gotten their asses kicked. There is nothing wrong in stating this.

killing an enemy combatant leader during a time of war is an assassination when that person is the sole target of the attack.

It's not murder, as murder is defined as the deliberate and illegal killing of a person. Since killing of enemy combatants is not illegal during war, it's not murder. It is however as assassination.

Questionmark but, if you look at the mission brief, they were hoping to get the whole command staff, not just the Admiral.

@@45obiwan the mission brief was that a high ranking officer was spotted boarding an aircraft at Rabaul and the mission was to take that aircraft down. The higher ups knew that it was Yamamoto, and that the source came from intercepted orders and not a coastwatcher as per the official story, but kept it secret so as to not give away they broke the Japanese code. The target was a single officer and the higher ups knew it was Yamamoto

+KaptKan1 not at the time.

Pearl Harbor in just 30 minutes united almost all Americans to resolve to defeat imperial Japan.

@@thewingedhussar4188 well in the 1860s there were natives mostly populating western Canada and a half french half native man (Metis) Louis Riel led an uprising in western Canada called the Northern Rebellion, it was put down fairly easily by the dominion but hes now a "hero" to Metis and native people and so on, And it wasn't sweet just because it's Canada, and on 16 November 1885 Louis Riel was hanged for treason. First Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada (Sir John A. Macdonald) quoted "He shall die though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour." referring to French in Quebec upset about English dominance
