But Japan doesn’t even take accountability for it’s war crimes during world war 2. Unit 731 and the rape of Nanking. Japan did some horrific shit but nope won’t admit to it, no matter how much testimony, picture, and video evidence there may be. So it does make sense.

Argentina Chile and countries around those area need that as well since they took all nazis as refugee and let them continue their horrors with locals in exclusive and secluded areas. All this until each nazi died of old age and happy with $ and new families. They are actual nazi villages hidden still.

In the US we'd have to teach that our country inspired it on order to cover it halfway decently. so it tends to be just "yeah, hitler was the enemy, he hated jews, and then Russia helped us win because pearl harbor" 99% of what I know about WWII I had to learn about outside of school, like I didn't even know queer and disabled people were among the first round of executions alongside communists, kristalnacht was just described as a night where windows were broken, there was no mention of the putsch or the election or the coup, and we BARELY talked about how Japanese Americans were rounded up and untreated because of some dual-loyalty bs

@@QuikVidGuy In America's defence, after the war they did extend the GI bill (free university) to the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned during the war. Compare that to Canada, which imprisoned its Japanese residents, as well, but didn't even apologise until the 1980s.

The crazy thing is that there were still military leaders who refused to surrender afterwards.

@@bluesdealer real reason they surrendered wasn't nuclear strikes (firebombings were much worse, as was a possible blockade) but soviet invasion

@@gouverneur2001 It's insane just how horrible the soviets were, as a whole, during the invasion and fall of Germany. Everybody did their share of looting, killing, crimes against women (last time I used the word even in historical and educational context I got complaints), but the soviets were bastards. A 14 year old boy forced into defending his town was just as guilty as an SS to them. Most of their prisoners, if not beaten to death or worse, starved in labor camps. Anyone who thinks the typical infantryman deserves that is just wrong.

@@gouverneur2001 Incorrect. The Soviets could only reasonably take Manchuria, and is in fact what they did. They did not have the support or transport vessels to take mainland Japan, much less enough troops to push into Korea. The only ones who did were the U.S. and the U.K. Ultimately the reason for surrender was because the Emperor ordained it so, and it was really only after Hirohito went to visit the aftermath of Little Boy and Fat Man.

Huh. The more you knooooooowwww...

@Kathy Sharp And nuclear bombs are the best way to end the war fastest by killing the fewest number of people? I don't think so. No, Japan probably shouldn't have won, and yes, the war needed to end. But that's just ridiculous, and overkill, and a decision made by people who probably had no sense of the scale of such an act. Add it to the list of ridiculous terrible things the US has done.

@Kathy Sharp uh, you may have misinterpreted my comment. I made no moral judgements about anyone involved in world war 2 in the above comment and did, certainly, not suggest that i was a pacifist. If you were referring to the “ a person’s a person no matter how small” , i was simply quoting the book because it would seem congruous with Dr. Seuss and his beliefs at the time. I did make an implied moral judgment about Dr. Seuss and his anti-Japanese sentiments (calling them racist is a fairly non-nuanced position). If you just wanted to share some information about Nimitz then that’s okay but it had nothing to do with my comment

@Kathy Sharp If you don't care what I think, we can't have a discussion. I wouldn't have replied if I didn't care what you thought. I'm perfectly OK with leaving this alone, despite that I don't agree and I could clarify further. I'll continue if you're willing to listen, but not otherwise.

Thanks for sharing this!

same here, same everywhere it really is sad how only a few history nerds like me get to understand history (and that too because of our own efforts)

That's why I hated history class as a kid. It was basically little more than a recap of events with little to no effort made to help us understand how and why these events took place. Utterly boring and useless.

I remember when it came to American History in general, we never went into dept about the dispute between Americans and Native Americans. Sure we learned about Manifestation Destination, but that's it. Believe it or not I would learn more about that from Western Movies and even Romance novels. Slavery issue in this country was bad, but the near eradication of Native Americans is another thing I don't like about my country. But I definitely won't forget it happened for sure.

I'm from Canada and in my school we spent an entire year on Canadian and native American studies. With 2 more years of native specific studies available as an elective, however we also spent time learning about every other time period but most of the time was spent on Canadian history good and bad.

Personality I think studying human nature, and social trends, is a better way of understanding human nature, and social trends. The problem with using history to do that is you have zero theoretical framework to understand this stuff. And without that history is only going to surve as a justification for opinions you already hold. I've seen people insistent that history shows something that's evoultanary impossible. Frankly they had a worse idea about human nature then someone who knows nothing, but there knowledge of history alowed them to dig up random facts that justified there poor understanding. History is not psychology, sociology, or most importantly in this case social biology. The facts that history dig up might justify certain theories in these subjects, but it's not a replacement for them.

@Matthew Out of curiosity was this a Japanese classroom/students? Because it would be rather surprising to me that there would be that negative or a reaction to Oda Nobunaga by Japanese people.

@@matchesburn It was in a classroom setting with other students, yes. But it was a reaction by American students on a very left leaning campus. The teacher's wife is a native Japanese woman and she was very interested in my presentation, and seemed to encourage me when I was working on it. I had the big names like Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Akechi Mitsuhide, just to name a few. I tried to cover a lot of the key events and some backstory of each name for context... But it's hard to squeeze so much into 7 minutes. Either way, she was very cordial in comparison to the rest of the class. People have become far too sensitive about practically all topics, and I was surprised as well by this. But it's also the reason why I want to leave the US. Too much politics, too much drama, and worst of all is that history can't be discussed without someone becoming irrational and overly opinionated. Bad things have happened everywhere by all sides throughout history. We are not responsible for the actions others make, and so it's illogical to feel guilt over it. Even the teacher's wife talked openly about Japan's participation in WW2, she mentioned that from Japan's perspective fighting was their only choice for survival. During the Meiji restoration period, Japan modernized extremely quick to respond to the US demanding unfair trade in the region. Threatening Japan and China with the warships. When the Shogunate accepted the demands of the US, Japan went into the restoration era to reinstall the emperor. From there, the nation modernized it's military to compete with the west. It went to war with Korea, China and Russia and won each time. Despite the war between the US and Japan, I have nothing but respect for Japan in this regard. Being under constant threat from giants for over a few hundred years, China, Mongols, Russia, and then the US... and fighting to the bitter end... I can only respect that. All sides did bad things, war is war after all. But as someone who loves to study history, looking at wars over the past couple thousand years across the world, Japan is definitely worthy of respect for maintaining it's territory despite all odds. But my aim is to become an English teacher in Japan. I'm very tired of all the nonsense going on over here. There might be a future for me in the west, but I don't see it as worthwhile compared to Japan. I've always loved Japan's culture, history, language, people, food (seriously.. the food). So for me, it's obvious where I would like to settle down.

What are you talking about? The average German isn't confronted with their dark past "every day", that's a bit of an exaggeration. In school, sure, as we _should_ be, but other than that? I mean, I don't know what sorts of people you associate with, but I literally don't know a single person who feels guilty, letalone personally responsible for the atrocities committed under national socialism, nor should they. Furthermore, I don't know what you mean by "annoying". After all, the process of Vergangenheitsbewältigung did not happen immediately - rather, it took several decades for Germany to even recognize its mistakes, which, if nothing else, underpins the absolutely critical role education on the second world war has played, both in recognition and acceptance of responsibility for past atrocities. Indeed, far from just being my own personal experience, there is empirical data on this issue: In a 1952 survey, up to 42% of West-Germans still believed that the allies were the _real_ war criminals, whereas only 4% believed that every German was somewhat at fault for what happened in the third Reich. That and up until 1963, many did not even know about Auschwitz or similar concentration camps (source: "Fünfzig Jahre danach: Zur Nachgeschichte des Nationalsozialismus" by Sigrid Weigel & Birgit R. Erdle). Moreover, a 2018 study by the University of Bielefeld (fuck yeah!) found that: 1) 60,2% of respondents either had a "strong interest" or "very strong interest" in German history, 2) 79,2% of respondents found it "very important" that German history is taught in schools, 3) respondents cited "damage that can be caused by racism" (78,9%) and "preventing the return of National Socialism" (84,2%) as the two most important reasons for learning history 4) and finally, only about 10,4% of respondents agreed with the statement “Even if I haven’t done anything bad myself, I still feel guilty for the holocaust”.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. Appreciate it!

Same in France with our own stint in colonialism and the Napoleonian Wars (at least in my time, it might have changed since). I was taught that Napoleon was one of our greatest leaders who played a big part in shaping modern France, which is true to an extent, but the horrors of his empire are not touched upon.

In fairness, what we are taught is ridiculously biased bullshit too.

Yes it's true with France we almost had a law that wanted to make teachers talk about the "pros" of colonisation only lmao (it was refused obviously) We are quite ashamed and if I wasnt in my actual study I would have never known how badly the French empire was We almost dont talk of the 2nd colonisation and what we did in Algeria

I’m learning about the opioid war and concentration camps in South African right now 🤷‍♂️ how is this not enough

HAHA ATOMIC BOMBS GOO BOOOM - this is a meme please don't get nervous

I think he actually wrote a letter to the president at the time pleading with him to *not* use the atomic bombs? I don’t remember it clearly but I think that’s the gist of it.

@@TheMan21892 Originally the people involved in the delivery of the bomb didn't want to do it. America was planning to make a naval blockade to starve Japan and if that didn't work they were going to continue the air bomb raids since Japan had zero air defence. But the U.S. Government and U.K. wanted to scare Russia and use Japan as an example. The planners of the atom bomb droppings published their official reports saying it was utterly unnecessary the use of the bombs, it was just to show Russia who had the biggest bomb.

@@TheMan21892 In 1939, Einstein co-signed Leo Szilárd's letter to the president, saying that the USA needed to look into the possibility of building an atomic bomb. This led to the Manhattan Project, though Einstein was not involved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Szil%C3%A1rd_letter You may be thinking of James Franck. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Report

@@DaimonAnimations "a naval blockade to starve Japan" That would have killed literally _millions_ of Japanese civilians. "The planners of the atom bomb droppings published their official reports saying it was utterly unnecessary the use of the bombs," That report was written by the proponents of the _conventional_ bombing campaign, which concluded that, given time, conventional bombing would have won the war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Strategic_Bombing_Survey Which is true ... but again, months of bombing & blockade equals millions of dead Japanese.

In Japan, kids are forced to learn history like robots where they learn date and events but not really focusing on why it happened which was a struggle for me because in cram school, they study just to pass the entrance exam. Anyways, thank you for sharing this my awesome history sensei :)

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. Those who DO learn history are doomed to watch helplessly while everyone else repeats it." -That Guy One Time

the problem is that history is taught as some account of summaries, names and dates instead of the cultural context in most countries and if there is one thing the brain does not like is being forced to memorize stuff.

@@diablo.the.cheater and of course, the problem is that approaches useless in the age of wikipedia. Memorizing things post internet is a waste of your time when what you really need to do is know that context so you can evaluate the data that is constantly coming at you, or that is at your disposal. of course, a big chunk of my curriculum is chosen for me at the state level and I am required to have my kids learn a certain amount of raw facts because they are expected to know them for a end of year standardized test. So even though teachers know it's a bad way to focus, we're sort of powerless to do anything because elected politicians have decided how we should teach.

History is self serving propaganda. Teachers usually come from one partisan perspective complaining when they've been in control of indoctrinating students for decades is always amusing. Most children are incapable of learning any in depth history because they don't care. Almost no children have enough world history knowledge to really amount to much. So the concern is again usually just self serving. And no, history doesn't repeat, its just selection bias, a more flattering version of conspiracy theory. @Chris Check Wikipedia is becoming useless now as certain types take over, nothing stops volunteers from being paid by 3rd parties, the theory of crowd sourcing doesn't work in the end when an organization is taken over by the most zealous "volunteers", who then begin pruning "acceptable sources" until they are just laundering their own view points through the site.

I knew Wano was based off Japan but I didn’t know Japan was actually called Wa no Kuni during its early history. Learn something new everyday.

Same here, I had no idea Japan was called Wa no Kuni but now I know where Oda got that from!

Y button same

"Wa no Kuni (和の国; literally meaning "Country of Harmony")"

@@killblade24 倭 の 国 Actually means Land Of Dwarfs , but there's some articles showing 和の国 is also a label for Japan.
