Ishiwara really let his intrusive thoughts win.

The Boshin and Russo- Japanese , southeast asian videos are what brought me the the channel. Great content. It would be an intesting topic to cover more late 1800s japanese colonial expansion and the various resistance moments like in taiwan and Philippines ect.

Interesting, are you talking resistances pre WW2, during or after for Taiwan and Philippines?

Ah, good old Ishiwara. The man's entire life is a tapestry of fascinating events and actions. The man had his flaws, but he had balls of adamantium for his criticism of Tojo, the Army and the actions of the Japanese during the wars. Then at the war crimes trials, he flat out states President Truman should answer for the fire bombings of Japanese civilians.

Haha, finally getting paid sponsorships, eh? Good video as always, kind of crazy what an easy hand Ishiwara Kanji was dead. Would the course of the Pacific War had changed if he had never got involved? I knew he was important because of his popular, nihilist policy, but him triggering a war against all odds is just maddening.

@@ThePacificWarChannel it's kind of on par with the Rikshaw guard that cut Czar Nicholas II during his visit to Japan, which solidified a permanent seething hatred in the Czar for Japan and was a major influence on his later actions in the Russo Japanese war. It really is amazing how major catastrophic events that burn whole segments of the globe can often hinge on one seemingly isolated and insignificant individual.

What was the Japanese government’s response to this whole debacle? Also feed the birbs.
@ThePacificWarChannel12 күн бұрын
Initially Tokyo General HQ was sending frantic messages to stop escalating the conflict, but Ishiwara and Itagaki did everything they could to push it. When it look inevitable that Manchuria would be seized the Japanese government came up with excuses publically to try and save face because they did not want to acknowledge their junior officers were openly being insubordinant. Its actually much more complicated than that though.

Of course, basically after this episode I will cover the rest of the invasion of Manchuria, some political situations in 1930s Japan and it will all culminate with the Marco Polo Bridge incident (with a lot of emphasis on Ishiwara)

What show/shows are the anime clips from?

Main show is called "Young Marshal" (can watch it on KZfaq in Mandarin). The anime is called "Zipang", a really bizarre one where some Japanese are sent back in time to WW2 and they meddle in the history etc.
