**This video is a compilation of my previous 3 Hetalia "history of japan" videos, so it's the same videos, just repackaged. But I also went in and redid a couple of frames as well as created a brand new ending that's never been seen in any of the other videos.
----
And with this, I’m officially done animating everything that I can/wish to for “history of japan”. However, there are still some parts of “history of the entire world, i guess” that could be fun to do eventually…
I thank everyone for all the love these videos have received over the past 2 years and for making me feel so well-received in this old fandom of mine. I never thought I’d be creating content for it so many years after I fell out of the fandom (back in 2016), but inspiration from Wurtz’ video and Hetalia fans passion/creativity led me to create my own Hetalia fan content to share with everyone. I’m so glad I did, as everyone has been so kind and welcoming and shockingly appreciative. Thank you for everything, everyone! :)

Disclaimers:
- I DID NOT MAKE THE AUDIO. That fully belong to Bill Wurtz, thus all copyright claims rightfully go to Wurtz and the copyright holders of the original "history of japan" video, which you can find here on KZfaq ( • history of japan ). I make no type of pay from this video. I upload for reactions/interactions from viewers, so please leave a comment, like, share it, etc... But please do credit me whenever/where ever you share to. :)
- While "Hetalia", "history of japan", and this video retell actual historical events, it shouldn't be used as the sole source of one's historical knowledge. They are all not completely accurate (not to mention brief) and seeing as they're humorous, they do make light of serious historical events such as war and mass death. Though as always, this video, Hetalia, and the original "history of japan" video do not seek to offend.
- This is a video that focuses on Japan, though other nations are mentioned/shown. However, seeing as how I didn't make the audio, I do not have a say in what countries/historical events are mentioned verbally, and only really drew non-verbally mentioned countries when the situation/time frame allowed. I tried to be as inclusive and accurate whenever I could, though obviously I couldn't include everything. I'm sorry if your nation/favorite character/important historical event was not included, but please don't write in the comments "you forgot about ____" or "what about ____". I am at the point where I'm considering just deleting any comments like that, because I receive far too many despite my many disclaimers that I didn't make the audio/couldn't include a certain character/country.
- While this is a video on Japan, it is from a western perspective, so take it with a grain of salt when considering the facts/statements in regards to feelings/reactions (such as those of actual people from Japan).
- While I did refer to/trace many actual maps for each segment, there are definitely moments where the borders are incorrect (I'm looking at you Poland and China in the WW1 segment). I apologize for any offense or upset this might cause.
- All three of these videos were made at different points in time, so there is some inconsistencies in the art style. 0:09-2:44 and 5:18-5:46 were done in April/May of 2020, while 2:44-4:17 (WW1) was done in April of 2018 and 4:17-5:18 (WW2) was done in June of 2018.
