It's hard to believe just how much of pacific Asia Japan was able to take.

My great grandfather fled to Taiwan with Chiang Kai shek for decades. When he returned to the mainland last year, he saw how his hometown had changed so much. At the age of 97, he knelt down like a child in front of his mother's graveyard and cried uncontrollably.

The war in mainland China has almost no exposure at all in the West, and I really wish that would change. It was one of the biggest and most significant fronts of the entire war.

It’s kinda crazy how little land japan lost by the end of the war, Germany had lost almost all of its territory but Japan still had the entirety of south east Asia

I shall now finish every epic story with a "BUT THEN THE NUKES FELL".

[benjibenz]

Nukes are like using guns in a fist fight

The original plan of the United States is to make Japan an agricultural country, which declared surrender in 1945.
However, after World War II, the world began the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and as a result, the Korean War began in 1950.
At this time, the United States completely revised its plan to turn Japan into an agricultural country and built military factories and industrial complexes in Japan that were necessary for the Korean War. Japan was very lucky to achieve industrialization because of the Korean War.

Originally, the Republic of Korea should not have been divided, but Japan, a defeated country, should have been divided. Japan did not become a divided country thanks to Korea's role as a breakwater in the Cold War era.

After the Korean War ended in 1953, Korea, whose entire territory was in ashes, focused its education and science on the younger generation.
The characteristics of the Republic of Korea were sincerity, responsibility, and above all, patriotism that loves the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea has finally become an advanced country.

The Republic of Korea has been a great power since 2000 years ago and has had a brilliant history, civilization, and high-end social system, and has returned to its original position.

My grandfather, aged 16, alongside two of his brothers, 15 and 19, were conscripted in 1938 and fought through the war against Japan. His younger brother died from Japanese artillery during the battle of Wuhan; he said he couldn't find his body as the shell had just shattered him into pieces. By the end of the war, his older brother was already a company commander.

They then participated in the following civil war, during which their units got separated during the campaign of Huaihai. The battalion of his older brother managed to break out of the Communists encirclement during their final retreat and eventually went to Taiwan with the ROC government. But my grandfather was captured and was then enlisted into the PLA straight away due to his age and experiences.

Grandfather later was sent to Korea as a part of the PVA during the Korean War in 1950. And that's where he lost his entire company of men and three of his fingers from frostbite. His older brother settled in Taiwan and pursued a career in the police force, in which he eventually became the deputy chief of the police of Taoyuan.

He and his brother were eventually reunited in 1987 after 38 years of separation as improved diplomatic relations between China and Taiwan opened a route for a large number of people who sought to visit their separated close relatives in mainland China after decades of separation. Sadly, their Mother passed away just a year before their reunification, that she wouldn't live to see her eldest son ever again since he left home in 1938.

Grandfather passed away in 2009. RIP 爷爷, his entire life was basically a chapter in Chinese history, a page that was filled with pain and despair, but yet with strength and resilience. Hope he is in a better place, now, reunited with all his brothers, beside his mum, in a world where there is no war and hunger.

Dude didn’t even mention the Soviets crushing the Japanese in Manchuria

[TimmyGC]

Well, you forgot the internal conflict in China at the same time.

[KurkoVarangian-kgzj]

That was a wonderful video. So much information in a short time

[lmxxviw]

Without Soviet invasion of Manchuria this video is not completed

[B_men_apo]

“China flooded part of their land”. The Dutch:”finally a worthy opponent out battle will be legendary”.

[ohhyokkwon]

I think you should add Operation August Storm. The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, China, Sakahilin, Kuriles and Korea.

[Rockiii]

Technically incorrect; months before the A bombs were dropped, Burma had been liberated by allied forces, including Brits, US & Chinese forces.

“Here comes the sun.”

-Japan… AYO THAT AINT THE SUN.

[maximilianoadl]

You missed the USSR invation of Manchuria, then the war was over

[pemsalvan]

I like the way an overview of history is illustrated here👍👍

[crxsh]

He forgot about the Soviet invasion of Manchuria which actually made Japan surrender
