Correction:
2:58 This map should have been labeled “Germany and Occupied Territories” to reflect the extent of the German army’s advance in December 1941.
3:01 This map mistakenly includes the territories of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and Finland as part of German-occupied territories. These nations were aligned with the Axis powers but not under German occupation.

This is your friendly reminder that better help got caught and sued by the FTC for selling confidential information that was protected by law. Just remember when you use better help you’re not a regular customer at a regular company. Your a PATIENT you have rights to privacy that are protected by law and better help was caught violating patients rights. I’m sure some people have found good therapy with better help but the sad part is that those people are the exceptions. The ugly truth is better help is a scam that sells your private information, violates patients rights, and does way more harm than good

of course it is. a lot of ads are. i just saw one youtube for a shampoo bottle that fixes hair loss. if that worked, influencers wouldn't spend 4,000 dollars going to turkey to get a surgery when a shampoo bottle that costs 24 bucks magically grows your hair back. I think all ads ideally should be obsolete, that if you want to buy a product, you just research for it yourself online instead of being interrupted in the middle of a video with an ad for something you most likely won't get.

The reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor is because the U.S., Britain and Netherlands launched an oil embargo on Japan in 1941 due to their actions in China. At that time Britain controlled Malaysia and the strait of malacca, the Dutch controlled Indonesia, and the US controlled the Philippines. As a result, Japan had no way to import oil from anywhere to propel their economy and war machine. The only two options for securing oil were attacking Russia, or attacking Indonesia. Indonesia fit their broader vision of an Asia for Asians led by Japan, so they chose that option and preemptively struck out against the US to buy themselves time to conquer south east Asia (which they did) Their hope was that the US would not commit to a total war with them over Pearl Harbor and they could secure their gains in South East Asia.

Johnny I ask you as an Australian to fix this massive error in your map. At 3:33 you show the entirety of the South Eastern part of New Guinea as occupied by the Japanese, including Port Moresby!! This is incorrect! Australians, Papuans and American airmen fought tooth and nail to defend the Owen Stanley Range and the approach into Port Moresby along what was known as the Kokoda Trail - and importantly we didn't fail in this endeavour! It's a disservice to the sacrifice made here to present the map like this. What's even more insulting is that this error is still present even by 10:19 when you're talking about events in 1944 and 1945!! How do you think a good portion of the convoys were raided around Rabaul without the vital airfield in Port Moresby?! This video will be seen by so many people so I implore you to make the necessary changes, please. You have a duty when telling history to get it right, even if you're not specifically mentioning this campaign. If you're making a 'MAPPED' video the maps have to be at least correct. I apologise if I may seem rude, that is not my intention, I am just simply fed up with the history and sacrifice of nearly 10,000 brave men being ignored. Please make the changes Johnny. Accurate maps can be found on the Australian War Memorial Website or alternatively through Dudley McCarthy's official history which is free to access on the Australian War Memorial website.

@@qw1626 As a swiss citizen I agree with you. But, nobody knew if the Nazis would be defeated or not before 1943, so in a practical way, swiss government HAD to cooperate at the minimum with Germany and Italy. The swiss State selects a general, only in times of war, and they choose a french speaking swiss citizen just to be sure he would not share any sympathy with the Reich. And most of the swiss supporters of Nazis were neutralized politically. During WWI, according to serious historians, Switzerland supported materially more the Allies than the Germans.

It's amazing to see how the US and Japan, after a brutal war, have built such a strong relationship. It shows that reconciliation is possible, even after unimaginable suffering. It's also worth remembering the reconciliation between Germany and France. Even after a devastating war, they found a way to move forward together. Thinking about the conflicts in the Middle East, it's clear that both Arabs, Palestinians, and Israelis need a similar path toward peace. We can learn from the past, like prioritizing common goals and building trust through dialogue, to help everyone move towards a more peaceful future. The US-Japan relationship is a beacon of hope, but we must remember that lasting peace requires courage, perseverance, and a willingness to compromise from all sides.
@grubmg 29 күн бұрын
I totally agree - but just let it sink in what the US had to do in order to get the Japanese people to reconcile since the Japanese were hell bent on continuing the war even at the expense of their own population. Cutting off supply chains, hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and two nuked cities. When the world remembers what it takes to get suicidal nations to reconcile it might allow Israel to actually win the war so that we can get there.

@@RealMikel It was more than just helping you economically, MacArthur rebuilt your whole society. MacArthur punished Japan for its past militarism and expansion by convening war crimes trials in Tokyo. At the same time, SCAP dismantled the Japanese Army and banned former military officers from taking roles of political leadership in the new government. In the economic field, SCAP introduced land reform, designed to benefit the majority tenant farmers and reduce the power of rich landowners, many of whom had advocated for war and supported Japanese expansionism in the 1930s. MacArthur also tried to break up the large Japanese business conglomerates, or zaibatsu, as part of the effort to transform the economy into a free market capitalist system. In 1947, Allied advisors essentially dictated a new constitution to Japan’s leaders. Some of the most profound changes in the document included downgrading the emperor’s status to that of a figurehead without political control and placing more power in the parliamentary system, promoting greater rights and privileges for women, and renouncing the right to wage war, which involved eliminating all non-defensive armed forces.
@johndoe9200 25 күн бұрын
@@RealMikel By late 1947 and early 1948, the emergence of an economic crisis in Japan alongside concerns about the spread of communism sparked a reconsideration of occupation policies. This period is sometimes called the “reverse course.” In this stage of the occupation, which lasted until 1950, the economic rehabilitation of Japan took center stage. SCAP became concerned that a weak Japanese economy would increase the influence of the domestic communist movement, and with a communist victory in China’s civil war increasingly likely, the future of East Asia appeared to be at stake. Occupation policies to address the weakening economy ranged from tax reforms to measures aimed at controlling inflation. However the most serious problem was the shortage of raw materials required to feed Japanese industries and markets for finished goods. The outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 provided SCAP with just the opportunity it needed to address this problem, prompting some occupation officials to suggest that, “Korea came along and saved us.” After the UN entered the Korean War, Japan became the principal supply depot for UN forces. The conflict also placed Japan firmly within the confines of the U.S. defense perimeter in Asia, assuring the Japanese leadership that whatever the state of its military, no real threat would be made against Japanese soil.

You are sorely mistaken. The emperor sited the bombs twice in his speech to the nation as the reason for their surrender.

They couldn't feed their frontline troops, how could they feed an expeditionary army?
@dmitrikalashnikov4754 Ай бұрын
Sorry the replies to you are so inane, so far. I will only add that the Soviets did not invade the Japanese home islands, nor did they need to consider a naval option. We need not examine all the diplomatic and military records of the time; if we just looked at this Johnny Harris video we're all supposedly watching, we would see that Japan held large swaths of territory on continental Asia right next to the USSR. The Soviets did invade, but they just took Manchuria and thereby "getting to Japan." To "yes and" your actual point, it was not just that the USSR invaded Japan, but up until that point, Japan thought the USSR could help negotiate a conditional surrender as a neutral 3rd party.
@pdpgkeeper Ай бұрын
If you looked at Soviets’ actions and motives 2-3 decades following their campaign against the Nazis, they were clearly about to go after Japan’s territories beyond what you might be expecting. Japan can’t survive if they are cut off from resources outside of their current borders. Bombing alone would’ve taken longer for them to surrender. Again, crazy to fathom, but just look at the casualty rate when they were not responding to the allied forces’ demands for surrender.

Did the US do some grand strategy and cunning maneuvers to defeat Japan. It was more of a big guy fighting a little guy. Japan did not have the resources or man-power for a long sustained war against the US. Japan could not replace losses as fast as the US. Even if Japan destroyed the aircraft carriers at Pearl Harbor and won the battle of Midway. The US would have just sent more. The war against Japan were 111,606 dead or missing and another 253,142 wounded. Even if the numbers were double that the US could afford to sustain those losses and just keep sending men and war equipment.

This is a mapped war of the Pacific in WWII, not the "Reason Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor". Calling it such undermines the involvement of Western countries in creating Japan's militaristic regime, mainly poor treatment in trade deals, along with unjust compensation for stopping Germany's eastern expansion in WWI. Also, the US and Britain rejected the racial equality proposal made by Japan as an amendment to the Treaty of Versailles. A combination of these factors led to the emperor's seizing power and subsequent expansion into East Asia. If you want a better video giving you more of the "reasons" behind Japan's involvement in WWII, watch this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frebY8eFt5utoqc.html This is a decent video essay mapping the war in the Pacific during WWII, but please title it as such.
