You have many I repeat many facts wrong about India perspective. Bose was real freedom fighter not some extremist.
WW2 From Asian Perspectives as percieved by west
Uk and causing famine and death to other. Name a more iconic duo
Mushashi or Musashi?
Impressed by the width, depth and less celebrated perspectives of the greatest conflict of all time! Hats off ‘The Armchair Historian’
August 15 1945 Japan surrenders to allied forces
August 15 1947 India gets independence
Churchill caused a holocaust in Bengal and clearly didnt care. In a 1942 memo, he wrote, “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.” He also stated, “The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”
His government also refused to send aid to India, despite pleas from Indian leaders and British officials on the ground. “The starvation of underfed Bengalis is less serious than that of sturdy Greeks,” Churchill wrote in a 1943 memo
Some western countries very ungrateful until this day!
Insane quality material, too bad YouTube promotes stupid and frugal topics instead of quality content.
Indians are such suckers for fighting and dying for their colonial masters
0:01: 🌍 The Second World War from the perspective of India and how it led to Indian independence.
6:22: 🌍 During World War II, Indian princes supported the British crown to preserve their power, while average Indians had varied opinions and some supported Hitler's ideas. The British government's promises of investment and cooperation proved hollow, and Indian soldiers fought for the Allies. The Japanese invasion of Burma threatened India and led to a scorch earth policy.
12:09: 💔 The Bengal famine of 1942 was caused by British policies in India, resulting in between two to three million deaths.
18:31: 💥 India's contribution to the Allied war effort in World War II was significant, but came at a high cost in terms of lives and economic devastation.
25:06: 💔 The Japanese brutal conquests and atrocities in Nanking resulted in the loss of cities, mass killings, and widespread suffering for the Chinese people.
37:14: 📚 Japan's expansion during the inter-war period was influenced by the Great Depression and the rise of far-right circles, leading to the instigation of the Mukden Incident and the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
38:20: 🌏 Japan's military actions, including the signing of the anti-common turn pact and the invasion of China, led to the second sino-japanese war and worsened relations with the West.
45:04: 🔥 The Japanese invasion in World War II was initially successful, but they faced setbacks and defeats as the war progressed.
51:13: 💣 The Allied Forces launched a devastating attack on Japan, resulting in heavy casualties and the use of atomic bombs.
Recap by Tammy AI
i feel bad for their postures 😭😭😭lol
Why did you exclude the infamous quote from Winston Churchill? Or even allude to his disgusting racist views on the Bengal famine? Seems a glaring omission that was engineered rather than mistakenly omitted. So what was the reason? Concern for British jingoist blowback?
ur 80 % wrong on india how samefull
Any solid proof of your statement "RSS supported Hitler's ideology" other than Leftwing media? Do some genuine research, else you'll lose credibility.
In anycase what is wrong in protecting native Indian religion & culture from onslaught of foreign Abrahamic missionaries, whose only aim is to convert & eradicate Hinduism ?
The battle of kohima was called Stalingrad of the east because it was a deadly battle fought hand to hand for months in a small hill top not more than the size of a football field.
The fact that China not only continued fighting, but actually won is one of the most interesting things ever.
Correction: INC never wanted segregation or nation based on hinduism. Inc was most progressive in all political groups, INC gave chance to lower caste by giving reservations, allowed muslim minority leader to fight elections.
It was RSS and likeminded Hindu nationalist that wanted Indian republic based on Hinduism
I am new to the channel, love your work ❤️ 😃
War will always be workers fighting workers
15:38 INC was a secular organization and did not believe that Hinduism was the center of India society. While Gandhi might be a devout Hindu, he was secular in his beliefs about India.
Pretty appalling to see this critical blunder, really makes one question the legitimacy of this channel.
PH too?
The Indians that fought for gritler deserved there deaths. How can 2 races be supreme together in a racists mind clown shoes
Japan still likes to pretend that the rape of Nanking either didn't happen, or was far less than it was.
Again the usual propaganda equating the RSS to Nazi Germany
Didn't expect such shallow reading from this channel.
Racists in the comments as usual
I wish you can make WW1 documentary stormtroopers tactics
Please make vedio regarding Gorkha soldiers who faught both world war.
Please make videos on Napoleonic Wars
Another excellent episode. And I definitely like how much longer this one is from the standard length.
Can you make a video about Indonesia's fight for independence, I think it would be cool
Would the outcome of the war be different or delayed if japan and Germany actually cooperated and attacked Russia together making Russia fight on 2 fronts ?
Well done
Typical Brits. >…………………….:|
This is probably my personal favourite out of all of your perspective videos. My great-grandfather fought in the Battle of Ceylon against the Japanese. He was a LtCdr in the British Indian Navy before the partition.
