  • @cardoboardbox1337 They did it for a reason look it up

  • @turidaisukiningen The reason the USA stopped shipping oil to Japan and began sanctions/embargoes were mainly due to the fact that the oil was being used to fuel the unlawful savage and brutal Jap invasion of China, I'm sure hearing about events like the Nanking Massacre would prove why.

    Silly Weeaboo.

  • In the end, Japan got theirs.

    :P

  • I am Japanese.I am sorry to AMERICA or other world.

    But the reason of the past bad action of Japan was not the past Japan`s man `s world but Japan` women`s world.Indee Japan`s women have fascim mental like a Hitler yet.

  • men are fucking idiots, thats all I have to say.

  • @Alteonify Your wrong! the US cut off exports and inports from japan that was a act of war they had to do something. their economy was more bad then the US at the time

  • @ozzhead2066 This. It's sad how many people are ignorant of this and just go "WOW FK JAPNESES BOMBSD US IN PERL HARBOR SO US SHOULD DEF BOMB DEM" tbh

  • can i use clips from this for a school project? thanks

  • Pearl Harbor sounds like the name of a Pokemon island. I guess that's why all the asian people flew in there.

  • GOD BLESS JAPAN AND USA! GOD BLESS WORLD.

  • @TheXavyelo Noooo GOD BLESS ONLY JAPAN !!!

  • America and Japan were doing stupid

  • @taryll100  Yeah! People die everywhere!

  • @1wendy1S That's no right!

  • koçum japonya

  • The Japanese Bomb Pearl Harbor For Revenge...American Bombed Japanese Before This

  • @xxsakamotoxx2 I don't think the Japanse were bombed first.

  • @MrSonyDelight

    I agree.

  • @xxsakamotoxx2 No they didnt, were did you get you're education a hobo?

  • @Diablo3Dueling Not everyone can receive a good quality education I know.

  • @xxsakamotoxx2 No they bombed Pearl Harbour because there were many U.S.A vessles there and they got their asses bombed back. At least get your times straight before you go mouthing off for the love of christ.

  • America's gov is stupid.

    They always poke one's head.

  • I did not say "all Americans"

    I said Fucking Stupid Americans are selfish.

    Almost half Americans have low humanity.(well better than Korea lol)

  • Fucking Stupid Americans should die

  • and now they love americans

  • @chinpokorin2010 Let's put it in more realistic terms: もし日本が我々の国との争いを仕掛けることを望まなかったなら、­それからなぜ我々を爆破しますか? 中立国を戦争に引きずり込むことは日本の選択でした、そして後に­、それは日本の崩壊で終わりました。 それらは事実です。

  • @sk8erkid6485

    Yeah Japan lost.That is the fact. BUT, Americans actually deserved the bombing, because they stopped trading oils with Japan. AMERICANS ARE SO SELFISH!!!!!!

  • @turidaisukiningen So ignorant. You characterize all Americans as selfish. Learn to distinguish before you hurt yourself.

  • the japs said they wanted to be our friends and gave us friendship metals but it was all a trap...we lost the battle (if u wanna call it dat) but not the war!!! FROM A PROUD MEXICAN AMERICAN/ (CHICANO).....................­.......POSTED BY 11 YEAR OLD BOY NAMED JACOB MARTINEZ , THANKS DAD FOR TEACHING ME ABOUT OUR AMERICAN HISTORY...........YES I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

  • @VivaLaAly you're mexican? please stop crossing the border.

  • Comment removed

  • They got theirs in the end

  • I can't believe that so many Americans today just ignore Japan's sins against China, Korea, and the Philippines...much more people were slaughtered, women and children, than your "Pearl Harbor". But all Americans really do is force their children to focus on things like the Holocaust in school, not any of Japan's massacres. I know it is favorable to the U.S. to preserve their military alliance with Japan, but I think some people really take it too far...

  • @Falamu445 Its called liberalism & brainwashing! LIberal Democrats HATE America.

  • @falcondriver100 Good thing I lean more towards the Centrists and Conservatives...

  • @Falamu445 exactly.

  • personally I love japan but

    japan have done many cruel thing

    for example killing people,sexual slave,a medical experiment on a living body in world war 2

    so sad

  • @dhksrksalem So you are not going to like modern Japanese because their great grandpas done such horrible things?

  • @gimmepassword Why not? White men are still held responsible for what thier gread grandpa's did. Its called affirmative action(affirmative racism is what it REALLY is).

  • @falcondriver100 It's still isn't right by moral standards.

  • @dhksrksalem you'd be amazed at what crazy things just about every civilization has done throughout history

  • @talilalit  i agree!

  • what's really stupid that people ranting about the pearl Harbor bomb from japan are youngster or the youth even they rant someone about pearl harbor shouldn't you be dead right about now?

    Japan citizens are not the same citizens from the past ancestors learn to understand :P and STFU

    Sigh people just can't get along >_<

  • KARMA SONNNNN

  • @dutchcr1m3z well, if it is karma, lets see what will happen to america for Hiroshima & Nagasaki. please think before you speak.

  • @lolola28 maybe there will something happen to america, i wouldnt care much too since i dont live there lol.. dont be mad

  • @lolola28 well we elected bush for president so i guess thats it

  • @lolola28 Isn't Japan nowadays mostly atheist, though...?

  • @lolola28 lets see the real karma, japan invades china = bad we cut off there oil supply cuz china is our ally = karma  pearl harbor = bad dropping the nukes on japan = karma.....so actually were in the clear

  • @lolola28 Russia. They have the most nukes now.

  • @lolola28 What will happen? 9/11, if you can count that. However, why would we get karma? Japan started a war with a superior country. They should have known this.

  • @talilalit So are americans... how many people have you killed while being the "police of the world"? Slaughtering innocent civillians in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Irak etc... also, you are the only country in the world that have launched a nuke to kill civilians. Pearl Harbour death toll = 2.350 (68 civilians), Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings death toll = 246.000. Go an cry terrorist somewhere else, not only are you retardet but you also are the most hipocritical nation in the world.

  • Tsunami.

  • WHY DID COUNTRIES LIKE JAPAN HELP THE GERMANS?

    DIDNT IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO HELP THE ALLIES???

  • i like this video and can any one give me a free 1oth in mw2 XxLeGiTHaCkSxX xbox 360

  • Human race= stupidity

  • @milad2007halo3 yeah human should die!

  • @milad2007halo3 50% stupidity 50% smartness....

  • @MrBeltfed I am not a liberal. I am actually a conservative democrat.

  • Yes I disagree with USA GOVERNMENT and their choice to drop a bomb on japan in order to bring a swift end to the war.I also say fuck the JAPANESE GOVERNMENT for not surrendering when the first bomb was dropped and for deciding to rape china.And hirahito shouldve hanged for his war crimes

  • @chinpokorin2010 日本が仕掛けたのは事実ですよ。問題なのはそれまでの経緯です。­日本もかなわないだろうとは考えていました。しかし仕掛けざるを­えない状況を作られてしまったのです。そしてそれにより戦後今で­も「日本が宣戦布告なしにしかけた」というのが日本の大きな汚点­となっている訳です。経緯には様々な要因が含まれている訳ですが­まずはハルノートについて学んでみて下さい。

  • The Japanese government needs to apologize to the United States for this distardly, prmeditated act. There was no justification for it. We were not at war with them.

  • Check out the book My Cousin Killed Hitler based on the story of Marshal Zhukov. It tells a family secret about him. If only Hitler knew that one of those he hunted became the hunter instead.

  • we all spend money to move far away from earth so when the su goes boom we get the fuck outta here

  • Several moments after hearing the words "Tora, Tora, Tora" transmitted to him

    from his Pearl Harbor attack force on December 7th, 1941... then immediately

    learning that our aircraft carriers were not present to fall victim, Admiral

    Isoroku Yamamota lamented... "I fear that all we have done is to awaken a

    sleeping giant."

  • i hate how american soldiers used to call the red dot on the flag ''red meatballs'' when it really meens the rising sun i meen really thats really hurtful

  • @alldud13 oh and those big bombs that hit the americans werent hurtful at all.

  • @paintballdude26 i know they were but not as bad i never said there werent hurtful at all seriously and ur sarcasm SUCKS

  • @alldud13 lol dumbass you cant have good sarcasm when your typing.

  • Comment removed

  • Reading all the comments here reminds me of why i hate being mixed 1/2 japanese and living in america. Especailly during history class. wtf

  • hahaha less than 2 hours ,loda fuckers got killed and da whole pasific fleet was wiped lol

    2 hours

  • This is the only stupid move by the japans.To attack America .

  • America had interests in China and didn't want Japs getting their hands into it, so they sent their entire industrial power to protect something they didn't have

  • Everyone that defends the Japanese are forgetting that the Japanese supported Germany and that doesn't end there. Japan had invaded China and had Concentration Camps similar to Nazis where they carried out Live Dissections of Prisoners of War, Tested Deadly Diseases and treated them in a way that even animals don't deserve... Not to mention the Atrocities committed by the Japanese on the Chinese.

    Japanese tend to be Suicidal in the war and only way was to Crush their Morale by going Nuclear.

  • @sesshy34 do you know what america was doing during ww2 or how much they wanted to get involved with ww2? Supplying supplies to england a direct violation of war rules, japan warning america multiple times to stop and japan finally telling america that if it continued they would be bombed or the fact that numerous countries warned america of the attack and america did not warn its people?

  • @swarbington Roosevelt was elected under the pretext of "never again" shall we go to war, for another country. .. when churchill asked for aid from the US.. the president, acting 6 months or so hence.. sent, crude early 1930s.. fridgets .. about half a dozen.. obsolete. when the war began, the build up took 3 years. if they were serious, u know very well... it would have been much sooner.

  • @sesshy34 .. ahh dont forget.. the various toxic gas bombing they did, in souther china.. of the various other chemical weapons tests.. the various other, inhumane treatments.. not to mention, the japanese had been at war since the year 1930. under the supposed "liberation of the asian peoples" .. they considered all non-asian populations as barbaric..and even the asian peoples as lesser beings. oh btw.. im japanese. and to be blunt they dont teach such things at school..

  • deyum joooo

  • @kundid420 where are you from?

  • @kujize  dalmatia croatia

  • @qwertypoiu4321 ... yes thats true.. but plz dont forget it.. it was the low-ranking, influential and at times, irrational.. military officer class.. that initiated the incursions in northern china.. the war began in 1930 for japan. the population of japan was reaching 80 million i think, by the 1940s.. Japan acted on its own accord that is a fact. 3000 odd sailors died in that singular attk. millions were to follow.

  • @xEpicFailures YEAH....AND THEY MADE THEM SIGN THE PEACE TREATY SAME PLACE WHEN THE WAR STARTED,PEARL HARBOR...

  • DIDNT WE THROW THE BOMB BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO END THE WAR....AND THEY DIDNT LISTEN THE FIRST TIME AND THREW THE SECOND...

  • @DEATH123218 actually since the USA dropped the atom bomb, they couldn't communicate because the bombs destroyed their telephones and the USA thought they didn't want to want to end the war :P

  • @LocaKenia MMMM....NO.....OK JUST BECAUSE THEY THREW ONE BOMB THE FIRST TIME DOESN'T MEAN THAT CUT OFF ALL THEIR COMMUNICATION AND THEY COULDN'T CALL BACK TO END IT....IMPOSSIBLE....

  • @danceflooroddities aww whats a matter did i offend you lol if your so much in love with the JAPS why dont you just go over there and suck off the emporer its a shame your grand parents werent in hiroshima then your daddy wouldve never been here to knock up that aids infested prostittue you call a mom and youd never be lol the lil cum stain that would have been your dad would have been burned up in the explosion. asshole

  • hey couldnt say no to that..i say they deserved it...how many people have they killed...more than 2 millions people including americans...so hey they got easy...

  • It seems the more human knowledge we attain, the more we hurt each other. Why can't human beings use knowledge for positive things, rather than to kill. The day they figured out that certain chemicals create a deadly output of energy was the beginning of the end for the human race. It is only a matter of time before World War III starts, and when it does, I believe it will be an atomic war. I hope not. I also surely hope it is not in our or our children's time.I wish we could all just get along.

  • @maureen1002 i completley agree with you

  • @maureen1002 Im still a kid and by the time of world war III I will probably be in it. But aren't we still the only country with atom bombs?

  • @shadowninjaify nope russia and (sadly) north Korea are only a few of the countries that have atomic bombs.

  • Comment removed

  • @maureen1002 Then we wouldn't be human.

  • @maureen1002 i know that your not the only one who feels like that. But since there is religion, theres beliefs, since theres beliefs, theres differences, differences cause anger, anger causes arguments, arguments cause war and death. There is no way of stopping wars, world peace is a myth...

  • @maureen1002 World War 3 will never come because no country will ever have enough power to take on the worlds strongest nations. Nor will they be stupid enough to do it assuming they aren't from the middle east that is....which in that case they wouldnt have the nukes to begin with. Russia & US > Rest of the world.

  • @maureen1002

    i think it may be instincual for humankind. when you examine our behaviors as animals instead of people its apparent

  • @qaching waaat

  • Japanese people are honorable people

  • @umityldz and crazy xD

  • @Skunkhaze68

    Fuck you piece of shit squint eyed cocksucker. The Japs chose when and where

    they would start WW2, so the US chose when and where they would end it. Go

    play your violin somewhere else.

  • @cabraden1 prff what a low and and unintelingent kommenare of u..probely fitz ur brain capacity.din t start.lol justifice all of course. good help us for ur kind

  • @Skunkhaze68

    If your ancestors had any brains, they would never have attacked the US to begin

    with.

  • @cabraden1 and that the legitim reson to dropp nuklerweapons on kids and womans..i wonder what genev was saying about that.....ohhh i forgot that usa was one of the winners ..

  • @Skunkhaze68

    What was Japan's legitimate reason for murdering 12,000,000 asians beginning

    in WW2 (Chinese, Malaysians, Burmese, Vietnamese, etc), including BABIES thrown in the air for some sick bayonet catching contest during Rape of Nanking.

    And other sick shit like Unit 731. If Japan had gotten the A bomb, they would have used it on the US. The US beat them to it. Plain and simply.

  • @cabraden1 so for that shall japanese civilian people paying.the probley din t know what the army done. it make no way what u say u can t justfice an ackt like that ..it is a war crime samme as japan doing to other people in asian.i have been in war. and i can say u one thing for sure i have NEVER follow and order like that .if whe shall going on payback system so are whe soon back on stoneage how manny indiand died in amerika and what was their crime.....think about that

  • @Skunkhaze68

    How can you say civilians didn't know about what their soldiers did? I'm sure some were family members and bragged about it. How could they not brag, being as sick as their minds were (at the time - not now). It's very sad that civilians have to suffer for what their military and government, but such is the

    risks a nation takes when in embarks on aggressive wars of conquent. Plus

    millions would have died on both sides if Japan had been invaded so the bomb

    probably saved lives.

  • @cabraden1only what do u know about that. thats only a teori Japan was on the knees on that fase,Maby an embargo could bee anought to bring them down ( it s was only officers who bring familys whit them not private soldiders) , Well anougt whit this In my yes it a criminal akt to nuke citys whit people in thx and goodby

  • @Skunkhaze68 yes, it may be a criminal act to bomb cities, but its also a criminal act to shoot at medics, and attack hospitals. And JAPAN, not america, started the war.  What was America supposed to do, let the slaughter of thousands of American citizens go unpunished.

  • @kluvscows the behevior of humankind is somtime a reall mess.but to say they started they did that they done that.so beacuse of all that whe can do the same and MABY more. the dropp of the A bomb was only to get information of the power and nothing else.in japan the japanese people haven t eat white rise for a year..the was on the knee all ready....Shall the wietnamese people let the slaugter of their people be unpunished..all is rellevant how u se it

  • @Skunkhaze68 I completely understand what you are saying, sometimes i wish that the people that decide to act out in extreme violence didn't exist, you know. Then, people wouldn't have to have discussions over who was right in their actions and who was wrong. Like i wish some people didn't feel they are superior to others. Because on the inside, we al look the same

  • @kluvscows yes we are u are so right : samme same but diffrent :)

  • @Skunkhaze68

    Also, American indians fought among themselves as much as they fought white

    settlers. There we also several unprovoked attacks by indians during the settlement of US west. Yes, many died at hands of whites but many died at

    the hands of their own people too.

  • @cabraden1 yes they did many of them was death enemies and both england and france us it in the war but that is another history .ty for the word

  • @Skunkhaze68

    I don't want you to think that I'm a heartless cold person who doesn't care about the people who suffered at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is extremely tragic. However, you must remember the tremendous suffering Japan caused many parts of the world. Think of the 3,000 US sailors killed at Pearl Harbor and their

    families too. Or families or those murdered by Japanese troops during the

    Bataan Death March, or summarily executed a Cabanatuan Prison Camp in

    the Phillipines.

  • @Skunkhaze68

    Japanese troops caused the deaths of some 12,000,000 people in a 14 year

    period beginning in early 1930s until the war ended. Remember this also - Japanese civilians worked in plants for Japanese war effort, even had cottage

    factories in homes making war goods. General Hata commanded troops that

    were posted at Hiroshima, and it was also an important logistics and supply

    depot. You said you would never follow order but in Japanese army you would

    have been shot for such an act.

  • @cabraden1 ohh betwentheway i heard at history canell that the amerikan navy nowd what the japanes was upp to,but they din t do anything for that was an ecuse to go in the war,beacuse the amerikan people was against that usa shouild entre the war.............rest u can figure out of ur self. i hope

  • Your all forgetting the Millions of Chinese civilians the Japanese massacred if you do some research the numbers are close to 20 million civilians ....

    So the Japanese deserve what they got.

  • you attack us we bomb you lol

  • AND don't forget the vietnamese and indians!!!

  • Don't pick a fight if you're not willing to face the consequences

  • you fuck with america you get what you deserve we didnt get to where we are today as the world power by being a pussy.

  • @tquinlan5 Hahaha, nice comment, how old are you?

  • @nixindjija 24

  • dont feel bad for the japs how many sailors died in pearl habor how many p.o.w.'s in death camps i say its even dropping the bomb was the right thing to do better 100k japs than 1 more american

  • @MOSESJ1987 this is why people hate america because your ignorent to the fact that all life is preacious!!

  • @inuyasha4889 i agree all life is precious. and usually i think war is inhuman and pointless but 1 the japs are the ones who pulled u in the war 2 the day they bombed pearl harbor the also captured 203 INNOCENT men stationed in north china and beat,tourted and humiliated them for the rest of the war. 3 they treated our p.o.w very badly example bataan death march and a little book called the secret camera . 3 do you know how badly they treated the chinese and koreans 3 so i say f'em

  • @inuyasha4889 not only that dude you an american you say support our troops in your channel but your crying because we dropped a bomb instead of invading main land japan ill say it again better all of japan than 1 more american lost to those squinty eye bastards maybe you should move to japan and help the survivors. the japs are so screwed in the head those people who were affected by the bomb are still to this day are discriminated against just for being affected.

  • @MOSESJ1987 dude. im japanese. my family was affected by the bombs. my father died from lukeimia passed down through our family cuz of the bombs. i still support the american troops but like you say all of our kind for one american right? thanks. i feel so patriotic...

  • @inuyasha4889 sorry about your gramps but i stand by what i said btw if you were born here youre an american not japanese you are of japanese heritage. and i would drop the bomb to save any american life ve it jap-american/black/hisp/white or what ever you are not all japanese are bad people but most of the people in japan at that time were. seriously sorry about your dad and grandpa

  • @MOSESJ1987 i understand but no nation deserves a bomb of that magnitude. not even nazi germany. (which the bomb was designed to be originally droped on.)

  • That was the only way that would make them stop

  • thank god for the atom bomb

  • @ririckyrickyracoon03 Thanking God for the one weapon that can wipe out mankind?

  • @AzyrenIshida Thanking God for the weapon that saved millions of lives, both in WW2 and the Cold War...

  • @battleax86 It almost brought an end to mankind in the Cold War.

  • @AzyrenIshida No, it prevented the Cold War from turning into World War III. Without nuclear weapons, there would have been nothing to keep the Soviets from invading western Europe or the Chinese communists from taking over most of mainland Asia.

  • @battleax86 Last I reckon, the Russians lost due to bankruptcy, not fear of being nuked. The Russians had far more nukes than the US

  • @AzyrenIshida Russia had about 6000 nukes to America's 5500 nukes...on that scale, the difference is irrelevant. And yes, they eventually lost to bankruptcy because their economic model was unsustainable. It doesn't change the fact that the threat of massive nuclear destruction kept millions from dying in a war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

  • @battleax86 Nukes were the reason they had the war in the first place. Everyone wanted a nuke

  • @AzyrenIshida That's ridiculous. The Cold War came from the natural hostility between an expansionist, communist Soviet Union and the democratic, capitalist West that wanted no part of it. This hostility existed before nukes were even invented. Why do you think Stalin supplied Hitler's war against Britain before the Germans attacked him? Nukes only served to keep the Cold War from becoming a real war and for that, we should be eternally thankful.

  • @battleax86 I don't see how communism threatens the US. Once again they go prodding their nose into everyone's business, looking for war to make money

  • @AzyrenIshida It wasn't the US looking for war, it was the Soviets. Look at all the countries the Soviets invaded and annexed in the 1940s. Look at how they tried to take West Berlin and encouraged the North Koreans to invade the South. There's a reason former Soviet countries are extremely anti-Communist and wary of the Russians. The Russian mindset since the 1700s has been to expand by force. Communism gave them an ideological purpose for that expansion. This is what caused the Cold War.

  • @battleax86 They're not part of America are they? Is South Korea a state? Is West Berlin a territory? Nope.

  • @AzyrenIshida South Korea was an ally and we were controlling West Berlin after helping to defeat the Nazis. Tell me, what right did the Soviets have to try to starve us out of West Berlin? What right did they have to invade the Baltic countries or Poland or Finland? What right did they have to get their puppet in North Korea to invade the South? Why are you placing all the blame on America when they clearly weren't the aggressors?

  • @battleax86 My point is not blaming America for the war, it is saying that nukes caused the war and that America had no business in the war.

  • @AzyrenIshida Well, then your point is still ridiculous. Nukes didn't cause the Cold War. They only kept it from becoming a major war where millions died. As for the US, the choices were to oppose the Soviet Union or allow them and their puppets to enslave other nations. I'm glad the US chose the first option.

  • @battleax86 You'd be glad if we all died in a nuclear war eh?

  • @AzyrenIshida No, I'm glad nuclear weapons exist to prevent major state-on-state wars where millions die.

  • @battleax86 Nuclear weapons save millions of lives but have the potential to kill billions more

  • @AzyrenIshida Yet they haven't killed anyone in 60 years and they've kept superpowers from going to war with each other. As long as irresponsible countries aren't allowed to get their hands on them, they've done far more good than harm.

  • @battleax86 Irresponsible countries? OH SHIT WE'RE FUCKED

  • @AzyrenIshida Maybe...hopefully, North Korea will remain sane enough not to use them...

  • If the Japs had the bomb they would have used it on us. then they would have killed us. we should have kept fighting the war since we had the momentum had wiped out all of our enemies. then we wouldn't have to hear there revisionist history.

  • i hate US more than jap

  • @lolkid1016 WTF U DICKHEAD!
