The Japanese were honorable people they surrendered and didn't start up gurellia fighting they listened and accepted their fate cause they have honor actually they were surprised at the treatment they received at the signing of surrender,it is said Hirohito broke down into tears when he found out that the allies treated them with respect and not like slaves
The wars in Vietnam and Korea while certainly wars were also battles in the Cold War. The former was a battle that the USA did not win and the latter was fought to draw. However, there is no doubt that the USA and its allies won the Cold War. Thus the war in Iraq and Afghanistan cannot be looked at in isolation but only terms of the larger war against Islamic extremism.
this is why you should never be cocky and fuck with much bigger opponent! probably thousand years of undefeated history made them so... but still stupid as hell
@StudioGuttierrez japan didnt really want to get involved with america, but japan feared that america was making a move on the empire, so they reacted first. when america stoped giving japan oil, japan feared an attack may come next. america wanted japan to react, to give the us a reason to join the war, they didnt care if japan bombed america. in my opinion, america knew japan was going to attack, they probably even knew they were gong to attack hawaii, but didnt do anything about it
Not fair...japan just sank a harbor and was literally winning the war but the little fags of US didnt accepted so they with an idea of stealing bombs from germany thats stupid
@BIOHAZZARDPR1995 Are you on drugs? US forces defeated J Army & Navy in every battle in the last 2 years of the war & destroyed 40% of Js 60 largest cities. It took 2 A bombs to convince 'god/man' hirohito to admit defeat
Undoubtly one of America's proudest moments! A very humbling time for Japan! Japan at that time was very different. They were a warring culture. Surrender was considered an act of cowardace.It was unhonorable. But after 2 nuclear bombs, they were forced to accept defeat and swallow that bitter pill. After our victory, people were literally dancing in the streets, celebrating, rejoicing. Church bells rang, car horns honked, fireworks were set off. American flags were waved & displayed everywhere.
@Timbrock1000 ww2 was the only war america truely ever won. but you have to give the japanese some props, they took a nuke and still fought to the end, i think they were badass
@juki0h lol do you know any history or common sense? Korea was somewhat a Victory as the mission was to protect South Korea from the communist North and that was done even though we almost toppled the North the US got too close to China and they pushed back thus leaving the current border. Vietnam was not a loss, the US was completely destroying North Vietnam/Vietcong but the anti-war movement and media coverage of the carnage put too much pressure on the government and forces us to leave early
@juki0h Iraq is so far a success, we toppled Saddam's regime and installed a democracy even though it took longer than anticipated mainly because al-Qaeda made it the central battlefield in the "war on terror" and they got spanked. We left because the Iraqi government pretty much told us to leave. Afghanistan is still on going but mainly trying to root out the remaining Taliban or get some type of peace. So please read up on the facts before posting, thanks
Japan made the US go into the war and then was humiliatingly defeated. US won the war because they had the best technology. Simple as that. There were still 200.000 japanese soldiers in Tokyo. Proceding without the bombs would result in a much higher body count. If Japan could they would have thrown a thousand nuclear bombs on US soil.
@temisdisciple The US did not win the war against Japan because of "best" technology. In terms of the navy and airforce, Japan actually had superior technology compared to their Western counterparts, even the US. The Japanese Zero is a perfect example as it has remarkable achievements of getting 12 to 1 kill ratios against enemies in dogfights. It was actually Japan's severely limited industrial strength and resources that lost them the war. The US outproduced/overwhelmed Japan.
@Ravensteinzh In 1941 the Zero was the best fighter in the world. By 1943, the Hellcat, the Corsair, the Mustang and the Thunderbolt were all far superior. 6/44 Battle of the Philippine Sea: aka "the Marianas Turkey Shoot"
@Ravensteinzh What technology are you referring too? For example, US ships had radar early on, even late in the war that was rare for the IJN. They simply didn't have the capability to build a plane like the B-29. The remote turrets for example were beyond their means in that day. The big Zero kills were early in the war. A skilled Zero pilot versus an unskilled pilot in a Brewster Buffalo. Once allied pilots got expereince & newer aircraft the roles reversed. Yes they were out produced also.
@Ravensteinzh Okay.....I'd need more specifics on the TEs you're referring too. They certainly had some fine equipment early & later in the war, but I just don't see where the TE is. I just leave it at that. :)
@GoldComet6 The A6Md its capabilities weren't really reversed", the Allies just managed to engage it on equal terms after getting newer hardware. The A6M, G3M and other aircrafts, Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships (superior to anything anyone else had at the time, especially Shokaku and Yamato-class) were all either prevented from receiving competitive upgrades, proper protection, or reaching effectiveness because Japan did not have the capacities to keep fueling the war.
@Ravensteinzh Yamato was just a bigger conventional battleship - not more advanced. Zero gave up a lot for range & turning ability. But it wasn't more technologically advanced than an F4F. Later in the war the A6M was outclassed - the Ki-44, Ki-61 and esp the Ki-84 were better overall aircraft. Better US pilots was the key - the aircraft were the same. Once weaknesses of A6M were learned it was beaten by pilots in P-40s & F4Fs. Think Thatch Weave.
@Ravensteinzh You say the IJN ships/aircraft are better - but not what the TE is. G3/A6M are similar to B-25/P-40 - built with same methods & tech. US carriers were equal in protection, had better fire supression & had similar speed & # of aircraft carried. Still don't see the TE you say is there. I would agree that Germany had a TE – its rocket aircraft, swept wing designs, jet engines & V1/V2 rockets were technology that US later copied. Germany gave some tech to Japan - like J8M & Ki-201.
@juki0h Because Japan invaded China and was promoting an oriental holocaust there. The atrocities the japanese commited against the chinese are often forgotten, but they were so hideous that in Tokyo you could find lampshades made of chinese skin for sale. Read some serious books/articles about the japanese invasion of China and you will see.

The Jap Secret Biological weapons program that was to be carried out targeting NY, Washington D.C and other cities along the eastern seaboard right before Japan surrendered ; drop rats and fleas infected with bubonic plague, cholera, typhus and other diseases.
Thank God, the U.S. nuked them and made them surrender first.
Great and important day. It was a big victory of white country! Japs are a very intelligent nation, they dominate in modern technologies and industry but the whites have created all modern science and technology! Japs came for prepared dinner...
Wow the Japs earned and deserved both atom bombs and they new it. They were the hardest enemy we ever faced and because of those facts they are now one of our greatest allies
@trull122 The nukes weren't necessary any more for the Japs were already beaten and sought for a honourable way to lay down their arms.But i think after spending so much money on the nukes Truman was compelled to drop the bombs.Afterwards he bitterly regretted it and refused to do it again during the Korea war although the situation in Korea was temporarily much worse than in ww2.He even fired MacArthur who was keen to drop the nukes on the Chinese!
@Ahornblatt2000 The Japanese were not beaten, they never sought a way to lay down their arms, even the peacemakers in Japan incorrectly advised the emperor the US only had 1 atom bomb they thought they could hold out., Truman did not even know about the bomb until after Roosevelt died, we had not strategic need to use the bomb in Korea and the Chinese were our allies against Japan.
@trull122 Truman was President,right?Roosevelt the fool was already dead as Truman dropped the nukes.Truman had to decide whether or not to use the bomb.Chinese weren't your ally during the Korea war and MacArthur proposed about 30 targets for atomic bombs.So for me that sound quite strategic.The situation in Korea was much more threating than anthing during ww2.Truman even declared a national emergency as the sole President of the US.Yet he refused to nuke the Commies this time.Why?
A Wise man once said if you stand next to the enemy you might get caught in the crossfire.In a perfect world was this the right thing to do?Some say no but at the end of the day, Hiroshima occured during a LEGALLY declared war between Japan and the USA that was INITIATED by the JAPANESE in their strike against Pearl Harbor.Furthermore,the bombs SAVED lives(American& Japanese)since it forced the Japanese to surrender after their Emperor had ordered civilians armed to repell a land invasion.
ask the innocent Japanese citizens at the time if it was the right thing to do? The Japanese people did not hate the U.S., only the Japanese Government. Innocent people were attacked and generations later, their children and grand-children are facing the cancerous effects of the nuclear fallout! This was like how bin Laden attacked the innocent people of our country (America) during 9/11. They had never harmed him in any way, but he decided to go after innocent people instead. Both-r-bad
If this were today, BO would be bowing down and apologizing! Good thing we had strong MEN in those days who didn't know a damm thing about Political Correctness! McArthur actually removed all old Japanese Text books and replaced them with American Text Books teaching them Democracy and they are now better off today because of it! Something we need to do in the Middle east, instead of letting them read the Koran!
@JENDALL714 Great insight. With people of your level of shit in your head, we dont need journalists or people who are learning forein cultures. We just have to apply our American standards on them. After the whole world is amurricanized, We have world peace. Jup boy, thats how its done in the "civilized" west.
you are taking the political enviroment of the worst world war and imposing it on todays enviroment? It is Americans such as yourself that caused this country to fall out of grace.
@ilovemesomechicken the chineese economy is a buble. 60% of there economy is construction, they just keep building things to keep there GDP numbers up. In reality they are building things that many of the average people can't afford to live in, so they stay empty. They have many "ghost towns" in China where they have very modern buildings with nobody living there. If you remember history the solviet union was one of the fastest growing nations for about 25 years, and we know how that finished
Battleship you mean...well the people were doing the shooting were they not? The war would have been over quite quickly and easily if it were just the right wing extremists we were fighting
America's enemy was not the Japanese people, it was the Japanese right wing who were merely willing to sacrifice their own people for power and pride.
I don't know why he's feeling bad. Since it ended the killing of innocent people on both sides, I'd say it was one of the better days. Unless of course, you don't like peace.
if your looking for people who don't want to teach their kids the true history of what happens on World War 2 and rewrites their history books that is , Japan .. many atrocities happened did by the Japs just like the Infamous Unit 731 and The Bataan Death March here in my Home Country The Philippines .. they deserve the atomic bomb ..
Maybe someone has already asked this question in the comments section, but why was Emporer Hirohito not present at the signing????
As a side note, there's a clip on youtube of President Obama saying that the Emporer did sign it. Were there two separate signings? Or did the President Obama get it wrong?
Japan made a wrong move attacking the united satetes, they should have gone asia for them selves first get russia , backstab germany and then start attacking america lol!! dang imagine if america never interfered; asian countries would have been richer than todays poor fcking economy .. -____-
As inspirational as this film is to us, it must have been much more so for Americans (and people across the globe) who saw it for the first time in movie theatres (Because TV had not yet become available). You'll notice MacArthur has 5 stars on his uniform. This is the highest rank for an officer and can only be achived in wartime. Despite being the man who led us to defeat Japan, the Japanese people adored him. They even had a 9 foot tall bronze statue of him made which still stands in Tokyo.
All the servicemen, military commanders, and government representatives on that ship saw a rare moment of history in the making. I would have loved to have been on that ship myself on that day...
A history teacher once told me that if the US had not dropped the A-bombs and had invaded instead, many more Japanese people would have died from disease, exposure and starvation. The A-bombs were horribly cruel, but maybe fewer Japanese died because it was used.
Pray there is never reason to use another of those horrible things.
@donteverlietome Very true - and I can add that if bombs were not dropped Soviets would have invaded Japan (Soviet invasion was set for Aug 23, 1945). If Hirohito surrenders just a few days later Soviets invade Northern and maybe reach central Japan. Estimated 400,000 Japanese would have died or "disappeared" in the gulag. 350,000 Japanese disappeared in Soviet captivity during Russian invasion of China and Korea. And Soviets would have had a permanent say in Japanese future.
@donteverlietome Ugh that is sort of irrelevant. What's much more important is the Japs was killing and torturing and raping countless pple everyday in the countrys they colonised, and killing Allied soldiers and torturing Allied PoWs too. Once the Japs choosed to act like that, their own lifes don't matter. So dropping the atom bomb was right cos it saved Good people's lives, nothing to do wif saving Japan's people.
"United Newsreel Corporation" was a U.S, Government-funded film enterprise, part of the same effort that gave rise to the postwar Voice of America and the U.S. Information Agency--pretty much an arm of the State Department.
A very humbling day for Japan, with MacArthur standing, watching as they signed the peace treaty. Japan at that time was a VERY different culture than today. Surrender they considered to be unhonorable, shamefull. But, after being hit with 2 nuclear bombs, they had to face reality and accept defeat. The decision to drop the bomb was a hard one for the President to make. Many people were killed, however before days before the bombs were dropped, we dumped planeloads of cards warning of an attack.
Let that be a lesson...good will always prevail over evil.GOD BLESS AMERICA!TRUTH,JUSTICE !and THE AMERICAN WAY!We are the champions suck it up haters!
@wildwildwest1414 Nice comment but the last few words kinda over too much over America, WW2 is not America against the world is all the world goes to war ...... Must respect brave soldiers who risk their lives for their country or being slave by idiots.
@hiawatha444 He dropped it twice so we can rebuild Japan as an Ally so Communist Russia wouldn't turn it into one of their ally's, or communist. There was a reason to bomb twice, Hirohito didn't give up after the first bomb so we attacked them again three days later with another.
Japan could have done it too..if they really want revenge they can do it now but they won't because......atom bombs kill innocent peoples..just imagine the one you love most burn in front of you.let's get along...respect the nature and every living being it has created.
@unclerukus2 Im sure they would have figured out something. But its just a theory, the logic is that the Stalin would rather see everyone of his people dead before surrender, because you know he was balls to the walls crazy, and due to Russias size and population they might have been able to. Key word is "might". But I think what they were getting at was that the West down played Russia because of the Cold War.
@unclerukus2 the British have some chip on their shoulder. Yeah they pushed some sand in North Africa, but anyone who studies the War knows that the Eastern front was the Germans main focus and downfall.
The Russians defeated Germany and the Americans Defeated Japan.
@unclerukus2 i would take someone mentioning "the war" as the whole of WW2 tard, seeing as im getting so much flak, ill tell you from a british point of view that a lot of brits share.
if it hadnt been for pearl harbour wed have had no help from you in Europe, and before you scoff at that if all of Europe had been invaded USA would have been next on Hitlers agenda.
@Urko2005 The Germans never stood a chance against Russia. Historians today even suggest that Russia could have won the war alone, and may even have defeated the Americans in a non-nuclear confrontation during the early cold war. Under Stalin it was win or die trying.
@BroyhillVideo No. The Soviet would never manage too. People like to piss off that US did nothing. Not true. Go and look at what industrial damage USSAF did to Germany. Over fifty percent of factories and oil alone were destroyed by the USSAF. Meaning, that hundreds or even thousands of German tanks, SP, and aircraft never had the chance of being produce. While, the Soviet barely damage five percent of Germany industrial strength. The Soviet also depend on the Allies for food and equipments.
my dad has a great uncle who is still alive today he was part of the royal navy(british navy and he waso n this ship when this was happening he was on the ship when the japanease signed the peace.

As a history teacher and a student of history, it greatly bothers me when people attempt to politicize historical moments such as this one. Who are we, over sixty years later, to second guess the decisions of the men who were there, who had to make the call at the time? Most people today couldn't find Tokyo or most of the countries that signed the surrender document on a map, and that is a fact. Our history is vital, let us not undermine it with reconstructionism and distortion of facts.
Concur! The problem with the INTERNET is that there are too many nut jobs expressing their vacuous opinions. I would like to ignore them, but then, Hitler was one of those nut jobs who succeeded to commandeer the world...for a time.
They used a WMD to end the war a cowards weapon used against innocent civilians a clear war crime, the same weapon they threatened North Korea with during the Korean war when they lacked the guts to fight. Japanese imperialism defeated and American imperialism created. No glory here!
@cultofmao Screw you, commie bastard...it's a simple math formula ...Pearl Harbor = Hiroshima + Nagasaki = Payback's a bitch ! As for you dead , bloated, and totally f*cked up cult figure, piss on em !
nope. but who cares where I was born? In the US most people came from another countries. It is like a country for all races and people in the World. you know, it is not a real country, it is like something different. All people is welcomed if they can remember the national anthem a bit like the latin Ms. Christina Aguilera
and don't forget Hannah Montana. She can save the US. Or Christina Aguilera. She forgot a bit the national anthem recently, and even if she is latin, she will fight for the US strongly.
also the US Army continues being strong. Is the only industry capable of keep the hope...But trying to making wars around the World in order to save the US economy is not the proper way. It only will make appearing more enemies and it will go to worse...
Yeah, the US became an old, lazy, chaotic and dirty country. Soon the Latinos will take the power here and the Chinese in the other side. Relatively the 2 most powerful countries in economy are Japan and Germany. Precisely the 2 countries which lost the WW. South Korea is rising since time ago and India will become powerful too. No good future for the US...At least still the US have own petrol reserves, because till now are being consumed the reserves taken from islam countries and Venezuela.
History is written by the winners. And nowadays finally the Japanese beat the US. My car is a good Toyota and now are hard times for the poor Detroit. If you live in Detroit, run away as soon as possible as many already did !
The Japanese were honorable people they surrendered and didn't start up gurellia fighting they listened and accepted their fate cause they have honor actually they were surprised at the treatment they received at the signing of surrender,it is said Hirohito broke down into tears when he found out that the allies treated them with respect and not like slaves

A Wise man once said if you stand next to the enemy you might get caught in the crossfire.In a perfect world was this the right thing to do?Some say no but at the end of the day, Hiroshima occured during a LEGALLY declared war between Japan and the USA that was INITIATED by the JAPANESE in their strike against Pearl Harbor.Furthermore,the bombs SAVED lives(American& Japanese)since it forced the Japanese to surrender after their Emperor had ordered civilians armed to repell a land invasion.

ask the innocent Japanese citizens at the time if it was the right thing to do? The Japanese people did not hate the U.S., only the Japanese Government. Innocent people were attacked and generations later, their children and grand-children are facing the cancerous effects of the nuclear fallout! This was like how bin Laden attacked the innocent people of our country (America) during 9/11. They had never harmed him in any way, but he decided to go after innocent people instead. Both-r-bad

They have many "ghost towns" in China where they have very modern buildings with nobody living there.

As inspirational as this film is to us, it must have been much more so for Americans (and people across the globe) who saw it for the first time in movie theatres (Because TV had not yet become available). You'll notice MacArthur has 5 stars on his uniform. This is the highest rank for an officer and can only be achived in wartime. Despite being the man who led us to defeat Japan, the Japanese people adored him. They even had a 9 foot tall bronze statue of him made which still stands in Tokyo.

A history teacher once told me that if the US had not dropped the A-bombs and had invaded instead, many more Japanese people would have died from disease, exposure and starvation. The A-bombs were horribly cruel, but maybe fewer Japanese died because it was used.
Pray there is never reason to use another of those horrible things.

@donteverlietome Very true - and I can add that if bombs were not dropped Soviets would have invaded Japan (Soviet invasion was set for Aug 23, 1945). If Hirohito surrenders just a few days later Soviets invade Northern and maybe reach central Japan. Estimated 400,000 Japanese would have died or "disappeared" in the gulag. 350,000 Japanese disappeared in Soviet captivity during Russian invasion of China and Korea. And Soviets would have had a permanent say in Japanese future.
arthur131313 8 months ago
@donteverlietome Ugh that is sort of irrelevant. What's much more important is the Japs was killing and torturing and raping countless pple everyday in the countrys they colonised, and killing Allied soldiers and torturing Allied PoWs too. Once the Japs choosed to act like that, their own lifes don't matter. So dropping the atom bomb was right cos it saved Good people's lives, nothing to do wif saving Japan's people.

A very humbling day for Japan, with MacArthur standing, watching as they signed the peace treaty. Japan at that time was a VERY different culture than today. Surrender they considered to be unhonorable, shamefull. But, after being hit with 2 nuclear bombs, they had to face reality and accept defeat. The decision to drop the bomb was a hard one for the President to make. Many people were killed, however before days before the bombs were dropped, we dumped planeloads of cards warning of an attack.

@unclerukus2 Im sure they would have figured out something. But its just a theory, the logic is that the Stalin would rather see everyone of his people dead before surrender, because you know he was balls to the walls crazy, and due to Russias size and population they might have been able to. Key word is "might". But I think what they were getting at was that the West down played Russia because of the Cold War.

@BroyhillVideo No. The Soviet would never manage too. People like to piss off that US did nothing. Not true. Go and look at what industrial damage USSAF did to Germany. Over fifty percent of factories and oil alone were destroyed by the USSAF. Meaning, that hundreds or even thousands of German tanks, SP, and aircraft never had the chance of being produce. While, the Soviet barely damage five percent of Germany industrial strength. The Soviet also depend on the Allies for food and equipments.

As a history teacher and a student of history, it greatly bothers me when people attempt to politicize historical moments such as this one. Who are we, over sixty years later, to second guess the decisions of the men who were there, who had to make the call at the time? Most people today couldn't find Tokyo or most of the countries that signed the surrender document on a map, and that is a fact. Our history is vital, let us not undermine it with reconstructionism and distortion of facts.
