This book → FREEDOM BETRAYED: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath) is the process of World War II over 20 years by the 31st President of the United States Herbert Hoover (term 1929-33). It is a memoir that verified.
The basic idea of Republican President Hoover is, above all, a consistent and harsh critique of communism. The criticism began with Roosevelt's approval of the Soviet Union, and went all the way through the alliance with the Soviet Union, preparing for the war, and making major concessions to the Soviet Union in the process of ending the war. At the same time, Roosevelt's policies were also directed toward the expansion of the postwar communist regime and the Cold War between East and West.
With the confrontation between the Soviet Union under Stalin's control and the communist movements in each country in mind, Hoover called on Japan to avoid the opening of the war between Japan and the United States and to promptly reconcile after the opening of the war. In that sense, it is an indispensable document for the Japanese to fundamentally review World War II.
Thank you so much for you hard work. I was gonna mention can you do a video about the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
Good for them. Even though I come from two countries that were directly (Canada) or indirectly (Ethiopia) part of the Allies (side), it's completely understandable why they would side with the Axis at some points and declare war against the British and . I used to think the Allies were the good guys, and all the Axis were the bad in my teenage years, but the more I learn about this war the more I realize that it's a lot more complicated than that. That being said, I still attest that Japanese Empire and Nazi Germany were the most vile and inhumane in the 2nd world war, they were definitely the "bad guys."
The 1942 Bengal famine, made everyone in Bengal in a wild frenzy to kick the British out. What INA did was correct, Churchill was far greater an evil to India than Hitler or Tojo. Screw double standard Western morality. Bose is a hero forever and always, colonialist opinions about him are nothing but noise to us.
"We fight for our independence from tyrannical Imperialists! We've allied ourselves with the Imperial Japanese."
There's ignorance, there's stupidity, and then there's the INA.
"Traitors to the Crown" or just hungry starving POWs? In the end it was all about survival. Then finally the Brits were winning again and wheeled out Vats of rich Curry and trays of spicy Pakoras. Japanese die hards were left to eat their chopsticks. INA soldier's ate their fill and then came the final stroke, the "Chai Wagon".
The Great Lion feared the man, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, The Greatest Hero of India. Jai Hind 🇮🇳.
Sorry they not really Anti Nazi if they allies themselve with a fellow AXIS country
What many people doesn't know, was that in Japanese society, at the time, the darker your skin, the lower your status. Which probably explain why the INA were treated like they were.
You sell the channel bro? Or just hiring people on?
When subash chandra bose took control of the INA he knew it is close to impossible to destroy the british empire alone sure he had the help of the japanese but the writing on the wall was clear by 1943 he took control over INA in the hopes that the britsh indian army will hear about this and will rebel against the british and in 1946 that's what happened when the army and the people found out they rebelled against the british this showed the british that they cannot control the sub-continent anymore which helped in gaining independence
You should make a video about the Indians that helped the red army
Japan's support for Ukraine "Green Ukraine"
In the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Romanov dynasty, which had been abdicated by Nicholas II and lasted for about 300 years, collapsed. After that, the birth of the Soviet government aiming to establish a socialist nation will increase the momentum for independence among ethnic minorities such as Ukraine.
It was
Two revolutions that took place in Russia in 1917, the "February Revolution" that rebelled against the previous tsarism (absolute monarchy by the emperor) and the "October Revolution" that led to the establishment of a socialist state.
Ukrainians in the Russian Far East have begun a struggle to establish autonomy. The Ukrainian Far East Conference will be held in Ussuriysk in June 1917, forming a council (Kray Rada).
It was
At the second meeting in Khabarovsk in January 1918, Green Ukraine was declared as part of the Ukrainian state, after which it became known as the "Green Ukraine Republic", the "Far East Ukraine Immigrant Government" and so on.
It was
At the third meeting in April 1918, a young 36-year-old engineer, Yuri Glushko-Mova, was elected as chairman of the council, considering the creation of an independent Ukrainian state, and in the summer, General Borys R. Khreschatytsky. The Ukrainian Army of the Far East (with more than 5,000 troops) was organized as the commander, and a draft constitution was drafted at the 4th meeting in October of the same year.
In the summer of 1919, the council paved the way for an armed struggle against the Korczak administration, which ruled the region. In response, most Ukrainian leaders were arrested at the behest of Primorsky Krai Governor General Rosanov.
It was
Under these circumstances, the Far Eastern Republic of the Bolsheviks was established in April 1920 as a buffer state for Russia and Japan. The Far Eastern Republic recognized the autonomy of Green Ukraine, but the Far Eastern Ukrainian army was disarmament.
It was
However, when Japan withdrew from Siberia in 1922, the Far Eastern Republic lost its raison d'etre and was integrated into the Russian Soviet Union Socialist Republic. Here, the dream of the founding of Green Ukraine was destroyed.
After that, when Japan embarked on the establishment of Manchuria in 1932, Japan planned to establish a Ukrainian state in the coastal states as a buffer state with Russia, and in July 1937 it was called the "Far East Ukrainian Development and Development Movement". Formed a political organization. However, the group was viewed by the Soviet Union and Ukrainians as a Japanese spy group, and when the Pacific War broke out in 1941, Japan abandoned this plan and abandoned support for Ukrainians in the Far East.
It was
In this way, the people of Ukraine have been "required to serve as a buffer between Russia and neighboring countries" not only in Europe but also in the Far East. If you were a neighbor, what would happen to the international community surrounding Japan today?
It was
One thing I can say is that they were "closer" than we thought. Perhaps our neighbors, they are now bravely fighting to protect the country from unjustified invaders in isolated and unaided lands in remote Eastern Europe.
I think it would be okay to come up with bolder support measures, such as welcoming Ukrainian refugees who have lost their way to Japan. In the long run, I think that such humanitarian assistance "will lead to true national interests."
It was
Nowadays, I think there were many nodules that led Russia to a democratic nation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is important for the international community to "know that it is at that turning point" and "to come up with effective measures without losing timing", and it is too late to speak out after things happen
I've heard of it all and your video did not change my mind. Bose and the men of the INA were all traitors who should have been tried and sentenced to a traitor's death by firing squad!
Very interesting video, however it’s sad that you mainly used photo’s and videos of I.R.950 which served in the Heer and then afterwards the Waffen-SS.
Maybe a majority of sources are available in india and not in western nations.
Also it is widely speculated and accepted by indians that bhose didn’t die in the plane crash and returned to india under another name.
I don't know why you think the INA or Bose was "anti-Nazi". It is false and this was probably an effort to sanitize them. In fact, Bose visited Germany to explore receiving assistance from Germany. The meeting was inconclusive and the INA didn't really take any stand one way or another.
They were staunchly pro Nazi.
Enemy of an enemy is a friend
Cant have world gov with independent nation states——simple as that….F the world gov…Long healthy and vibrant life to independent nations of peoples! Just dont get coopted by small foreign interest groups that are anti-you
We Indians consider netaji as a true patriot….Britain offered independence(they want men and material)after ww1 but they cheated….many in India thought this will happen after ww2…..in reality after bombay naval riot British decided to leave India…..naval riot happened due to the trial of INA members……netaji is the core reason for independence

Road to China's dictatorship with the support of the Soviet Union's Kuomintang Communist Party → Continuing problems by the dictatorship
How the Soviet Union Helped China Establish a Communist Party Government: Consolidation with Japan
The Bolsheviks are involved in the birth of the communist movement in China. However, the Soviet Union's main ally in China has not always been the Chinese Communist Party-a supporter of Mao Zedong.
In 1949, during the Chinese civil war, Communists defeated Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang, and won a decisive victory. The Soviet Union is now giving considerable assistance to the Chinese Communist Party.
But what's interesting is that some time ago, the Soviet Union's main ally in China was the Kuomintang, and the Chinese Communist Party was second.
First United Front
When the Qing empire collapsed in 1912, China split into quarters and weakened, and there was no strong centralization. The country was virtually divided by warlords, creating endless conflicts with each other.
Few Chinese were willing to settle for this situation. In the 1920s, two forces emerged in China, trying to break the country's medieval feudal state.
The Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party will be the souls of the future. However, both parties acted together. In 1922, the two sides embarked on a "First United Front," in which the Bolsheviks played an important role.
The
Cooperation between the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang
The Bolshevik administration not only watched the situation in China, but was also actively involved. Soviet Russia (the Soviet Union since 1922) has been isolated from the international community and sought an ally abroad.
Soviet leadership was denied cooperation by the Beijing government (the Beijing government, also known as the North Sea government, whose first prime minister was Yuan Shikai, who had little control over the country but was recognized as the official government of China). Therefore, the Soviet Union makes a white arrow on the Kuomintang, which was founded and led by Sun Yat-sen.
The Soviet government chose the Kuomintang because it was more powerful and influential than the Chinese Communist Party. In this way, it was hoped that the Kuomintang would become the support base of the Soviet Union in China and become a loyal ally in the battle with the West.
The Soviet Union supported the reorganization of the Kuomintang's "National Revolutionary Army" and supplied weapons and ammunition. The Communist Party decided to cooperate with the Kuomintang at the will of the Soviet Union, but they received far less support from the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union sought to eradicate any conflict that arose between the two parties. The Chinese Communist Party leadership was clearly instructed by Soviet officials to make concessions to comrades to maintain unity.
From 1926 to 1928, the new leader of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek, organized so-called Northern Expedition against a large number of warlords with the participation of Soviet military experts. This ended with the unification of China by Chiang Kai-shek.
On April 12, 1927, the Kuomintang, who did not want to share power before the end of northern expedition, suddenly attacked "comrades." Mass arrests and executions of Chinese Communist Party members have taken place in several cities.
Chiang Kai-shek seeks to move away from Soviet leadership and develops a consistent anti-Soviet policy, driving the Communist Party into underground activities. As a result, on December 14, 1927, diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and China were cut off.
In 1937, the Chinese Civil War was suspended due to the war with China with the Japanese army. First strike against the Japanese army in China. The "Second National Co-operation" between the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang was established, which was accompanied by the restoration of relations between Nanjing (the capital of China at that time) and Moscow. The Soviet government regarded Japan as a threat to its security. Soviet military advisers and pilots began arriving in China, and weapons and ammunition were brought in and out.
In 1941, the Chinese newspaper "New China" wrote: "In the four years of our Sacred War, the most important and reliable aid from abroad came from the Soviet Union."
As before, the Kuomintang, which ruled China, was the main recipient of aid from the Soviet Union, and the Chinese Communist Party did not contribute much to it. Soviet officials have relentlessly told the Chinese Communist Party to follow the policy of the Kuomintang government so as not to break the United Front.
"Sure, Chinese Communists seemed closer to us than Chiang Kai-shek." Vasily Chuikov, one of the Soviet military advisers who went to China (later made a name for himself at Stalingrad and promoted to Marshal), recalls later.
"It would seem that the support should have been provided primarily to the Chinese Communist Party … But this support seems to be a revolutionary export to the countries with which we have diplomatic relations. China's Communist Party And the working class are vulnerable to leading the fight against invaders. It still takes time to attract the masses to their side-I don't know how long it will take, and the Chinese Communist Party has turned to Jiangshi. It is unlikely that the imperial forces will accept the situation to replace it. "
Even after Chiang Kai-shek's army openly attacked the Chinese Communist Party (for example, in January 1941, when the Chinese Communist Party's army attacked the "New Fourth Army," which was the main force), Soviet officials said that "all for anti-Japanese" principles. I asked him to restrain himself. At the same time, the Soviet Union curbed Chiang Kai-shek's military operations against Communist-controlled areas.
However, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Soviet Union was no longer far from China. Assistance to the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party has virtually ceased. Only after the war in Europe will the Soviet Union begin to tackle the problems of the Far East again.
As the Kuomintang and the United States approached, Soviet support for the Chinese Communist Party also increased. Officially, however, the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang government continued to respect each other. On August 14, 1945, the two governments signed the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, which was to jointly fight Japan.
The Soviet Union's assistance to the Chinese Communist Party was most important in Manchuria. After the withdrawal of the Japanese army, a part of the Red Army (Soviet army) was stationed in Manchuria. Soviet officials secretly infiltrated the Chinese Communist Party into Manchuria and urged the formation of a revolutionary foundation.
Experts from the Soviet Union are actively restoring Manchuria's infrastructure. The supply of important products and raw materials began, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army was given the weapons of the captured Japanese troops (861 aircraft, 600 tanks, cannons, mortars, 1200 machine guns, etc. Included firearms and ammunition). In addition, the Soviet Union will begin training the PLA. Mao Zedong received a special loan from the Soviet Union as a war expense.

After the withdrawal of the Red Army (Soviet army), the Kuomintang government army was surprised to enter Manchuria in April 1946. There was a modern, disciplined army, not the scattered guerrilla forces of the Chinese Communist Party. Manchuria was exactly the main battlefield of the civil war. And as a result of the civil war, the National Revolutionary Army was defeated and fled to Taiwan.
Chiang Kai-shek became the first president of the Republic of China on May 20, 1948.
For a long time, the Soviet Union did not openly support the Chinese Communist Party. When it embarked on public support, the chances of the Chinese Communist Party winning the power struggle in China rose at a stretch. As a result, on October 1, 1949, the founding of the People's Republic of China was declared, and the Soviet Union was the first in the world to approve it.
Born as China's worst dictatorship communist nation with the evil support of the Soviet Union. On an ongoing basis, Russia and the Chinese Communist Party are the main causes of problems in the world.
We must continue to work with the United States and Japan, Taiwan, Ukraine and Europe to protect world peace.
The Free Indian Legion didn't collapse until the end of World War II in Europe. They served under the Waffen SS and fought in France and Holland. Hitler also had no respect for Bose or the Indian legion, he reportedly said this about the Indian legion,
"The Indian Legion is a joke.
There are Indians who can't kill a louse, who'd rather let themselves be eaten up. They won't kill an Englishman either. I consider it nonsense to put them opposite the English… If we used Indians to turn prayer mills, or something like that, they would be the most indefatigable soldiers in the world…"

It was all about 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing.
Bose's plan didn't work the way it was supposed to, but the news about the INA made the Royal Indian Air Force and the Royal Indian Navy personnel mutiny. The Britishers couldn't hold such a large continent without their Military, so they were forced to leave. Bose was directly responsible for India's freedom.
Proud grandchild of INA freedom fighter.
None of high ranking officials of INA was punished due to public pressure
INA was the primary reason for which India gained freedom
The thing you haven't covered is the truth
As a grandson of a person who fought for the freedom of India i feel utterly disgusted of how biased this video is
This clearly shows how the Western Perspective shows what is what it likes
Ultimately it wasn't successfully, but that's nearly 1 in 4 of the available POW that initially joined. If they had been able to push deeper into India and/or take more India POW, they could've built up quite the force. And they wouldn't have had to train them either.
My grandfather's elder brother was just 18 years old when he was fighting for INA, after his unit surrendered to British they were sentenced to execution for treason against the crown without any trial. But the British officers who ordered it couldn't do anything since the British Indian soldier's refused to carry it out. After INA incident British were really afraid of over forcing their Indian soldiers fearing a mutiny which would definitely kill them. INA is way bigger reason Britisher's freed India since they saw how INA was a massive success and foresaw a near future revolt which would definitely be armed and would eradicate British presence in Indian region by force, hence it was in their best interest to leave while they could.
Would love to see 1971 Bangladesh War, 1973 Yom Kippur War and 1999 Kargil War from you.
Were they being armed by the Japanese or did they have access to home grown weapons?
Akhanda bharat Mata ki jai Vande Mataram jai shree RAM Har Har mahadev
Gandhi didn't not give freedom but savarkar bose and Indian army Indian armed forces rebellion did
ENEMIES OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND just this is we hate both axis and allies
Ina was just another part of plan of savarkar ji to enrage Indian armed forces to to rebellion against British plan succeed and force British to withdraw
This isthe first I heard of the INA. Their military actions did not bring down the Raj but the political backlash of punishing them did help Indian independence.
The Indian National Army and Subhash Chandra Bose is the main reason why British left India… because of the trials of the INA commanders which resulted in Royal Indian Naval revolt followed by revolts in other wings of British Indian armed forces paved the way for the British to exit India. I will say those who think (including Indians) that non-violent movement of Gandhi had driven British out of India I am sorry that was the case..if there were no INA and the revolts after that the British would have stayed don't know how long. Regarding Subhash Chandra Bose, he was a true patriot, every corner of the undivided India loved him at that time. He did not got 'burnt to death' as later investigations proved the crash never happened and what happened to him remains the greatest mystery of free India…even Gandhi gave him the title 'Patriot of Patriots' …Bose is still revered in India as one of the (if not the) greatest freedom fighter of his time
Italy: surrenders
Everybody: "Hahaha Italy switched sides again."
Indians: get taken prisoner, join the Japanese army, refuse to fight for them, leave the Japanese army, get taken prisoner again, join the German army, rejoin the Japanese army, get taken prisoner by the British, get released, refuses to elaborate further, leaves
The Japanese didn’t care about anyone but their on agenda
