How They Won: Part 1: The Pacific Theatre

This first installment in the "How They Won" trilogy, or a three part prequel series to "If The Nazis Had Won The War," all of which are based off a time line I made after production finished on "If The Nazis Had Won The War," tells the story of America after Pearl Harbor and how they triumph over Japan, but do not join the war in Europe. The entire "How They Won" thing was originally meant to be one video, but when I looked at the size of the time line (17 pages) I decided I needed to split it off into three parts which may turn in to four parts depending. Anyway, enjoy.

Also note that this is a work of fiction and is of no historical value.

Also note that the video, as did the time line, begin at the beginning of the occurrences of fictional events and do not chronicle 1939-1941. The only difference is that Pearl Harbor takes place a year later.

I like the ideas and events, although they do accelerate too rapidly. Overall, great concept, medium execution

[katvolver]

Thank you very much, i always appreciate constructive criticism :)

[DantesDump]

You know when I lost interest in this clip? When the story began with "The Empire of Japan sent 700,000 ships, including 400,000 Aircraft Carriers against Hawaii..."

I look at that idiocy and I wonder... why the FUCK did someone bother with the music and the clips and the effects, etc.

Get serious. if you want to write A/H, stick somewhere vaguely around the realm of the remotely possible.

[katvolver]

ok, look. I have regretted putting up that number before, and I have thought about redoing the video to say 700 or something like that, but i deleted the original file and do not feel like redoing the entire video. Please, don't be such an asshole about it. I embrace criticism, just as long as its fair and not extremely aggressive for no reason.

[katvolver]

How would japan be able to make 4,000 ships, Only 4 were made by the time of Pearl Harbor....though toward the end of the war japan made their battleships half-carrier, half-battleship.

[antred11]

2,000 aircraft on a single flat-top? How high are you going to stack them??

@katvolver

Well if they one we would've kicked their asses in the 60's with the UH-1's

HELL FUCKING YEAH

@DantesDump

hahaha, if you had 400,000 aircraft carriers w/ 2,000 planes each, you could take over the world about 10x and still have about 200,000 aircraft carriers left.

what happened 2 the music that was there b4

Just one more thing, Germany was the one to declare war on the USA, not the other way around. Since you seem to be working on a more historically relevant version of this, you might want to change the Alternate History to "Germany decides not to declare war on the US"

[rukiosu]

Other than that, this video was fairly interesting. :)

[rukiosu]

...have been able to NOT declare war on Japan, let alone "order" Canada not to, as Japan attacked British Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and various other areas up to and including North Australia (though Australia was bombing only; the allies broke through the Japanese stronghold in the Pacific before it became more).

[rukiosu]

...to invade the inner home islands. In addition, there aren't really any naval bases that could be utilized in the North Pacific. So how exactly does America take Hokkaido, a clear "home island", from the get go, without fighting any other significant battles beforehand? (/o_O Does the Soviet Union lend America its bases or something?

Also, Japan had plans to attack the Commonwealth at the same time as Pearl Harbor, and indeed did do so with great success afterwards. The UK wouldn't...

[rukiosu]

Hmm...question. During the original timeline, the US forces were facing bloodier and bloodier resistance as they got closer to the "home islands" of Japan. Iwo Jima alone sported over 20,000 American casualties (dead and wounded), and Okinawa, debatable as a "home island" sporting over 50,000. It was the results of these battles that made Truman decide that the Atom Bomb was the more favourable solution over the undoubtedly increasing number of casualties that would mount if America were...
