  • @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.

  • @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.

  • @gumbeet for the corporations, for the united states, hell no! for the people, hell no! for afganistan and iraq, hell no!

  • @juki0h wrong iraq and afghanistan are successful for USA

  • @temisdisciple the us lost vietnam and every other war after ww2, learn some history

  • A great moment in world history!

  • @juki0h They did not fight to the end. There were still 200.000 soldiers in Tokyo but even so they decided to surrender.

    And the US won every war they fought with the exception of Vietnam.

  • @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.

  • @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

  • @temisdisciple america eased japan into war by stopping the oil shipments to japan
