In the 1930's and ...
In the 1930's and 40's, the Japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese including 23 million ethnic Chinese. To answer TheSalmonfan question: If the Japanese had won WWII then, from 1950 to 2012, they may have slaughtered another 500 million Asians, 8 million Australians, 80 million Americans and 5 million Canadians. They would refer to it as "Victor's Justice" and they probably would not have rebuilt their enemy's economies.

@juki0h The US did ...
@juki0h The US did not loose the Vietnam war, the South Vietnamese lost the war. We did leave too early because of left wing US interference back home. War is not pleasant left wingers, and no one likes it, but evil happens and must be stopped.

Umezu, who signs ...
Umezu, who signs for the Japanese Imperial General Staff (Army), was later arrested, tried on charges of War Crimes, and died in prison in 1949. Famous American Fleet Admirals Chester W. Nimitz and William F. "Bull" Halsey are also seen. The dramatic flyover by US military aircraft at the conclusion of the ceremony would seem to seal the proceedings with the firm resolve of the Allies.

.....Japanese ...
.....Japanese comply with the terms of the surrender. And you can see that MacArthur looks up and directly into the eyes of the Japanese delegation while he makes his charge to them ....no doubt about it!! Key Allies also sign the document from Great Britain, France, China, Soviet Union, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Of note, MacArthur gives a pen to Gens. Wainwright & Percival who survived their captivity in Japanese hands after surrendering at Corregidor & Singapore. Gen....

This newsreel ...
This newsreel footage was widely shown to audiences in theaters across the country when it was produced in 1945. In the 1980s it was again shown on the fledgling A&E Network of cable television. Sadly, so many "historic" presentations in contemporary times delete Gen. MacArthur's famous words, intoned in that firm & solemn voice, and show just a brief silent cut. LISTEN TO HIS WORDS.....this indeed is history! He makes it clear to the Japanese delegation that the Allies will make sure that..

In fact, Japan was one of the US allies in WWI, but somehow they turned back against the US in WWII.

The Japanese were ...
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 ...
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.

@juki0h Iraq is so ...
@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

@juki0h lol do you ...
@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

@Ravensteinzh You ...
@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 ...
@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.
