Kings and Generals’ historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues. Today, we turn back to the Solomon Islands to cover some new developments as the Americans prepare to embark on a naval bombardment of the key Japanese bases at Munda and Vila-Stanmore; and we’ll also return to China to see the start of yet another Japanese offensive north of the Yangtze River.

Thanks for sharing this interesting piece of World War II history with us. It's amazing to learn about the strategic military operations and how different countries were fighting for power during that time. I appreciate that you offer exclusive videos through memberships and Patreon as it helps to support your channel and keep history alive for all of us to learn from. Keep up the great work and can't wait to watch more of your content!
Li Xiannian appears to have had a pretty legendary career. He was president of the PRC in the 80s which is crazy to think nearly 40 years later he was still a major player in world events.
F6F Hellcats and F4U Corsairs joining the fray is a huge deal. The Corsair and the Hellcat were hands down the best fighters in the Pacific theater and it isn't even close. Japan had lost a lot of good pilots by this point, while the US had spent considerable resource to making sure their pilots came home, even if their planes didn't. These veteran pilots would be key in training the next batch of pilots and more than just doctrine, they had experience that could be taught. At the start of the war, the IJN had a force of elite airmen, but were highly selective in choosing new pilots, so replenishing their numbers was difficult. It was very difficult to graduate and get your wings, and when you did, you were expected to fly until you died. There was no rotation, no going home, and no breaks. That meant all those experienced pilots died without being able to help the next class of pilots. New hardware + veteran pilots + better trained pilots = Japanese air superiority was essentially at an end.
Excellent episode.
Excellent video 📹 Brilliant coordination ambush
I'm thinking that it took the US and it's allies 3 years to take back what the Japanese took in 6 months. Dictators seem to cause all the wars …
Picture of Chen YI seems not correct, #3:06
Are you doing the American Revolution soon?
Great story telling. Easy to understand history.
again, a minor quibble with your maps and areas of control. Why does Choiseul island appear blue or nominally Allied-controlled on your maps? Granted, there were no permanent Japanese bases on Choiseul, their numbers in late 1943 would be roughly 4,000 – 5,000 in transit from the Lower Solomons via barge stations to Bouganville. But still, definitely within Japanese area of influence (red) on the maps. The same is true in the SW Dutch New Guinea sector – the Tanimbar Islands and Aru Islands should be shown in the Japanese-controlled areas.
We can all agree that he never disappoints us with his content 😀
Weren’t their some Japanese aces left? The last carrier battle hasn’t been fought either. Some air action please. Thank you!
Great video
Awesome.
I'd like to see your take on the Fallout series.
in the last map the red region looks like a pig
Thanks for the video 👍
I know this is off topic but does anyone know if kings and generals ever do a video on the history of the French Musketeers such their origins and what eventually lead to their being Disbanded
Geweldig goed
Brilliant as always!
From this time on Allies had clearly surpassed JPs in all of quantity, proficiency and tech. K&G and viewers will probably enjoy more spectacles ahead, and I would watch my ancestors killed and their country burnt
Can you please make a series about Hannibal like 1 video a week
Radar really did give the US Navy a huge advantage, without it the Japanese training on night combat would probably have seen teh USN at a large disadvantage.
Wait have you really spent 68 videos exclusively telling us about the Pacific War? It's gonna be nearly imposible for me to track every video from the start.
Fixed
Very informative
If you just woke from a coma and heard the add 5 dollar cup of coffee you would die from a condition called "future shock"
Hope you talk about Burma soon.
In depth and interesting, things we would have had to buy a rare book or go to college to learn about like this. Thank you.
I would really like to see a documentary on the chinese civil war between communists and the nationalists in the future.
🔥🔥🔥
I could have done with a series just about the Sino-Japanese part of the war.
Brilliant series! Keep them coming.
Love The vid
I have been enjoying this documentary series very much. It is much better than a 60 minute video trip through the S. Pacific/China Sea war. One comment though, it would be nice if in addition to KM and KMPH you had Miles and MPH in your notes for those of us stuck between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
When you continue the Burma campaign, please track the arrival of allied hardware, especially the Lee and Grant. From what I understand they were surprisingly useful for a tank severely obsolete in Europe. I am only aware of them deployed in Burma in 1944, as I haven't really studied that campaign.
The artillery may become more interesting, depending on who has what. Hand carrying all your ammo over jungle trails I would suspect makes ammo supply the limiting factor, not gun tubes. Both sides in Burma have railroads for supply, so there can be actual artillery duals!
Again, Thank you so much for this detailed story of the Pacific.
Firing accurately with efficiency? now that's gunnery.
Would you be able to cover D-day? Unless you already did.
This is the era where the USN surface tactics and ability was getting better, they allowed the destroyers and destroyer squadron to have more freedom in maneuvering to engage enemy surface force before the friendly main force of bigger ships would fire the first shots and basically scout the enemy at night, fire torpedoes at the enemy and then run away, with the information of the enemy dispositions, location, bearing, lure the enemy fire at them and probably with the weaken enemy Force, the cruisers and battleships would open fire at the enemy and then finish them off. This USN tactic was evident during the Surigao Strait engagement where USN PT boats and destroyers carried out independent torpedo attack and weaken the enemy force, probably lure the enemy's fire as well, then the gunline of cruisers and battleships would finish the surviving enemy ships off.

Esse canal e muito bom, excelentes documentários com ótimas ilustrações, que nos permitem compreender os fatos históricos. O melhor de tudo q vem com legendas em português.
Excellent documentary, very high quality production. Thanks for another great video on the Pacific campaign, Semper Fidelis!
You made up a good fake Chinese side war stories. First, the communist rarely fought against Japanese regular army. 2nd, Wang hai-Shan was never captured by Japanese since the communist rarely fought against Japanese regular army. Also, there was no general ever captured by Japan, not like the western armies, in Chinese theater.
Be careful, lots of Chinese can read English.
All over for the inept japs.
Thank you k&g
Let me say first I'm a big fan of the channel and I've seen most of the videos. This series on the Pacific War started out well but the last 30 or so videos have been real slog, too slow and detailed. I guess some may like it this way but I'm giving up on this series, and will try to find something that captures the pacific war in less than 50 or so hours..
Cheers 🎉
