The Complete History Of The Pacific Theater In 2 Hours

さすがアメリカ。頭がおかしい。

The tahan river is in Malaysia not the Philippines lol 😆 😅

The Guadalcanal Campaign was not led by McArthur. He struck a deal with Admiral King to let the Marines land at Guadalcanal. Also, the Japanese were not waiting for the Americans. They only had a small construction crew there building the airfield. The Japanese reenforced the island a few days after they realized the attack on Guadalcanal was THE Allied main attack.

Although I was born in 1947 one of the few issues my family would speak of was the outrage the American people felt after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I was not aware that Japan also attacked Clark field and other American Assets in the pacific theatre. Five of my uncles enlisted right after these attacks. My father worked at a Steel plant in upstate NY and did not have to go on active duty, he was an enlisted Reserve because he was helping make war materials when the war started. My mother worked in a sewing factory during the war sewing uniforms It was truly a world war. Everyone picked in.

Guadalcanal is most definitely not MacArthur. If you can't get that right what can you?

In regard to WW2 and the atrocities committed by Germany….i cannot believe that we EVER agreed to work with Germany in ANY WAY since then….it breaks my heart. Whether they were ran and commanded by the most insane war monger ever, doesn’t matter to me. The countrymen knew what was happening, and did nothing to stop it. Our only regret in that war should have been we only got to destroy evil one time.

The bottom line for japan is "dont start none wont be none 🇺🇸

We’ll put together amazing video!!!

Where's Godzilla?

wish the world will get peace forever in near future.

It isn't a complete look though. War was happening there before PH and continued after 1945, Murica insisted on carrying on until the 70s.

Uhhh… It’s called “Pearl Harbor”, NOT “Pearl Harbour”. It’s a proper name, not a description whose spelling is altere to match the spelling convention of the English dialect of the producers of the film.

I guess I never understood how one nation can impose its will on an entire area. Japan had what, like 50M peoploe in the 40s? How'd they cover all that land area?

I am Japanese.
Honestly, Japan lost, but I think it's good that America won.
However, what's regrettable is the decline in America's influence.
If China takes over from the United States, the world would truly become unfortunate.
America, please be more resolute.

This documental is wonderful.

And still the race has come up with no better solution to its differences between nations than slaughtering one another until one side says stop.

👀 Looks like there at it again folks is what I imagine some galaxy 🌌 looking down on us is saying

And there’s anyone who questions dropping the atomic bombs. Ask these poor American 🇺🇸 boys fighting fanatical Kamikaze pilots or taking these islands about that decision. Than get back to me. 🇺🇸❤🙏🏼

Minus the historical inaccuracies. Excellent videography

STOP THE BLURRING!!! ITS WAR!!!

Excellent...do men like these exist anymore...or are we left with those who analyze, criticize, and reap rewards they couldn't die for even in their dreams. America that was beautiful. Great people died for a real cause. Sad tho learn of Phillipine death and horrific Japenese death. But, someone had to win and tragically there were high costs.

WOW!

How about no soundtrack to make this watchable?

Thank you for sharing this great documentary, RIP to the everyone who lost their lives, and honor every one who served. And never forget that day, December 7 1941. GOD bless and STAY SAFE. Semper FI 86-91

Sure enough, in Australia and soon in Hawaii, it's December 7th.

For me it is important, as being a What If/Alternative World History guy, while I do change history up (keeping close to reality), there are some events I kept as they are.

Peral Habour is one I don't charge and most important of that.

❤😂🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤😂🎉🎉❤❤🎉

History is ok but why cut out death scene. And we should all know that all these wars are political wars and that only the innocent and brave suffer, while the politicians are thousands of miles away from the danger. There is no ending of these silly wars. Our leaders have gone power crazy So sad 😢

This is so wrong on Guadalcanal. MacArthur had nothing to do with it. The Solomons in August of 1942 were not part of MacArthur's Southwest Pacific command. They were under the Navy and therefore had Marine commanders. And the errors don't stop there. Yes, the invasion of Guadalcanal and Tulagi and Gavutu and Tanambogo happened on August 7. There was little resistance on Guadalcanal while Tulagi put up a bigger fight. The construction crews working on a Japanese airfield on Guadalcanal...along with the few Japanese soldiers fled into the jungle. The Marines fortunately got their food stores and would largely live off those for a time. The Japanese Navy sent a large force down the 'slot' and in a night action decimated the American/Australian force that was guarding the Sealark Channel...what would eventually be called "Ironbottom Sound." That gave control of the seas to the Japanese...so the American navy had to slink away before unloading all of the Marines' supplies. They were on their own with not enough ammunition, food or other supplies. If you're interested I would suggest the best single-book history called "The Pacific War" by John Costello. Wonderful book...but it's thick!

Thanks
Fdr

I was really interested in watching this, but that loud obnoxious music makes it impossible! Too bad. 😢

MacArthur should have been court martialed for his criminal negligence for his complete mis-handling of the defense of the Philippines - especially for allowing the attack on Clark Field.

Nationalism? As usual, those too young to die are sent to die by those too old to fight.

This was a battle of the factories. The Japs could not match the Allied manufacturing capability.

SO many ads!!!

Harbor*** Harbor!!!!!!

Command of the Guadalcanal campaign was disputed but ultimately cammand was given to Admiral Nimitz and the Navy, not McCarther. Admiral Fletcher commanded the overall expaditionary force while Admiral Turner commanded amphibius forces with Vandergrift leading the 16k ground troops. Yall should fix that, especially considering most Marines cant stand McCarther. The only time we've had to surrender was because he surrendered us then abandoned us.

Why are there so many blurred-out scenes?

Take over the world because they are the greatest and what about the rest of the people that just want to live a peaceful happy life huh

With the release schedule of 50 people in 4 days and 10 people per day therefore, the prisoner release will be completed December 7 , pearl Harbour day and the first day of Hanukkah . Was this schedule on purpose ?

PEARL HARBOR AND PEARL BANK SINGAPOORE GOT SOMETHING IN COMMON... HAUNTED BY SUICIDAL GHOSTS

My late father was at Leyte. Dad was an Army Air Corps engineer building air strips. Specifically, he operated a bulldozer. He said he saw Gen. MacArthur sometime after the landing.

Thank you USA from Philippines.
We are as your forever Ally

Why censor the footage, war is ugly and people should see what our boys had to do to survive.

Grognards will have a lot of erroneous details to bemoan, but the documentary covered the overhead view of the Pacific war adequately, and the music throughout was a bonus.

It’s Pearl Harbor. Just because you spell it differently doesn’t mean you can change a name.

This documentary takes some real big short cuts to over simplify events. Crucial early Australian victories in Papua at Milne Bay and the Kokoda trail are just not there. Nimitz was not part if the fleet at the Coral Sea, the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Matchukwo was really important, and so on, and so on.

My Uncle Dalton was there for almost the entire journey. In early 1942, he was a U.S. Army Master Sergeant command an anti aircraft artillery battery on the island of Corregidor. When the Rock surrendered, he was made a prisoner of war. He was forced into the Batman Death March. Many Americans and Philippines died of starvation dehydration and exhaustion during the march. Then he was put in a containmentt camp where many more died. Then he was put into a He'll Ship for transport to Japan. Many more died of heat stroke, dehydration and dysentery. When they arrived in japan, they were forced to march through the streets of Nagasaki while civilians and military beat and poked at them with sticks. At the outskirts of the city they we forced to work as slave labor in coal mines with little food, water and no medical trestment. He was in the mine when Boxcar dropped the Plutonium bomb.
He weighed barely 80 lbs when rescued by American troops.
IRONY * While Uncle Dalton was a prisoner, two other uncles were working at Oakridge, Tennessee enriching uranium for the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
My Aunt Maggie was a Navy nurse in the Pacific on a hospital ship. She was wounded when the red cross marked ship was strafed and bombed by Japanese planes.
My cousin was an infantryman fighting Japanese on the Aleutian islands. While bullet entire his fatigues he was not wounded. But, he did suffer from n frost bite as a result of having only summer clotying.
My father was in the OSS in Europe and parachuted into Normandy before June 6. He traveled from France to Holland to Belgium (including Bastogne) and then on into Germany.
I last saw my Uncle Dalton in 1967, after graduating from Fort Poll's Tiger land AIT (Infantry, RVN Oriented). He was still suffering from his bad treatment by the Japanese.
