A 1600s engraving prompted my application (aged 11) to join the Franciscan Order. It showed Japs sawing Catholic missionaries in half, head to toe, using a long saw operated by two men. Not all facts about Japan are 'fun.' See, eg torture camp 731 operated by Japanese in 1930s Manchuria. PS when the joining papers came, my mother refused to let me become a Franciscan.
0:52 The video creator is not telling the truth. The facts of the matter are that many Japanese (over 300,000) had become Christian, and the shoguns were afraid that the people would call for freedom, so they crushed Christianity in Japan.
The English weren't banned, they just weren't a player at that time yet. William Adams, an English sailor among the Dutch actually served as high ranking staff for Tokugawa
Funny or not.. they didn't show the Dutch flag but the Luxembourg flag serval times. The Dutch flag is not red, white, light blue but red, white and dark blue.. like kings blue, not baby blue.
I first became aware of Christians in 17th century Japan when I saw the Nagasaki Twenty-Six Martyrs Monument for the Catholic's that were crucified when I visited back in the 70's.
Japan: We have our own matters, we don't care about the rest of the world, we are okay this way. US: You're gonna trade with us, and you're gonna like it.
Nerd comment: The blue stripe on the bottom of the flags you show is a sky blue of the flag of Luxembourg and not the royal blue of the Netherlands. I really love this series and cannot thank you enough for taking the trouble to create these brilliant videos. But I wanted to point this out. Guess where I'm from.
My grandmother's family were one of the few Japanese families to stay Christians interestingly enough. They were from the northern islands but moved to Tokyo after the war.
When Perry first arrived in Edo harbor, he performed a gun salute, albeit quite aggressively since all the guns were aimed at the city. This led the Japanese to believe that they were being bombarded and so they built a number of artificial islands in the harbor to prevent warships from getting close enough to bombard the city, the largest of which survives today as the shopping district of Odaiba.
"Edo," not "Ido."
Otherwise, a stellar short review of an important and oft-missed point in history!
History With Hilbert should have been involved
Its weird to see the dutch word for money in an English video

The Dutch and the Deutsch in second world war!
0:05 wait a second that’s the total war shogun 2 map’s trade nodes! 😂
Christians: "These warlords will let us spread the word of Jesus in exchange for guns. What could possibly go wrong?"
What is the correct answer for Perry’s board at the end of the video?
Japan: We have our own matters, we don't care about the rest of the world, we are okay this way.
US: You're gonna trade with us, and you're gonna like it.
Japan: Bans all foreign trade except for the Dutch
Britain and France: Sad tea and baguette noises
Fun fact. Founders of duch east india company were jews banished from portugal 🙄🤯
Because the Dutch are awesome 👏

Fuck this bro, leave the japanese alone. So called "freedom" country does this.
Wrong flag in the beginning, not cool bro
Why was there a machine gun among the muskets?
