We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much.Germany and Germans are the best in the world. God bless Germany and Germans.Japan's national anthem Kimigayo was made by Hayashi Hiromori and German Franz Eckert.We Japanese sent 9,000 cherry blossom trees to Germany in 1990. It is said that the money of this cherry blossom trees is gathered by the donation of the Japanese and bought a cherry blossom trees . Almost all Japanese people participated in donations. The Japanese always cooperate with Germany.This cherry blossom tree is still in Berlin.All surplus money was donated to Germany.We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much. Japan imports many German products to support Germany.God bless Germany and Germans. Japan made the constitution, medicine, the army in by reference to Germany during the Meiji era. Japan succeeded in modernizing thanks to Germany. Japan learned a lot from Germany.There are two Germans statues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. There are many other German statues in Japan. Germany is a Japanese teacher.I always pray to God for the eternal happiness and peace of Germany. The most imported cars in Japan are German cars.Most of the cars that run in my town are German cars.This is a story that Japanese people helped Germans in japanese Okinawa Miyakojima, Japan. In 1873, the German Merchant shipRobertoson was hit by a typhoon.The ship was aground off Miyakojima Miyakokuni. At that time, the islander rescues the crew.There were many Germans, but all were successfully rescued.And the Japanese treated all Germans wounds. And the Japanese made the Germans eat delicious food.They gave Germans a place to sleep.The Japanese entertained the Germans with songs and dances. The islanders repaired the German ship.The days were 34 days.And the islanders put a lot of food and water on the ship and sent the Germans to Germany safely.There are still monuments sent from Germany in Okinawa.Japan will always help Germans from now on.There are other stories of Japanese helping Germans. There are so many that I cannot write. After the war, the German city was destroyed and many Germans were killed. We Japanese are very sad about that. I pray to God that Germany will never be unhappy again. There is a tower in my town praying for the Germans soul to be saved.It is a story in the Bando camp.About 100 years ago, there were many German prisoners of war in Japan.Japan did not treat German POWs awfully. The Japanese treated German POWs as friends. Japan respected German POW freedom.Japan did not force German POWs to work. Germans were respected in Japan. They spread German culture and history,German music and art, beer and sausages, Baumkuchen,German food culture, etc to Japan.Germans also spread European culture, art and music to Japan. The German bridge created by German prisoners of war is still well preserved in Japan.Japan did not want a war with Germany. At that time, Britain and Japan were allies. There was a request from the United Kingdom, and it became a battle with Germany. Japan allowed German POWs to do sports and cultural activities.Exchanges between villagers and Germans were also popular. It is more correct to say that the camp where the Germans were located is a German village than a camp. When the Germans returned home, Japanese and Germans grieved for goodbye.

Rewatching this video brings a lot of emotions to me as a South Korean. There was a time South Koreans could travel to designated parts of North Korea with permits back in earlier 2000's. I visited a national park in North Korea as a class trip when I was a student. I still remember two Korea's holding reunions for separated family members. There was a time people believed in peaceful exchange and possibly reunion of two Korea's. That all fell apart with Kim's nuclear program. Now people with separated family members are at least 70 years old. My grandfather had a little brother separated during the Korean war. He never got to meet him.

@@yibithehispanic This idea that war will be worse if there is a long peace is really historically inaccurate. You can go on Wikipedia and look at the article 'List of wars by death toll' , scroll down to the modern era and organize them by death range. And you'll see that many of the worst wars were wars that happened in a series or in bursts with short timespans of peace between them. There was no chance to stabilize and develop so countries kept falling into conflict. It's why The Middle East is the way it is today. Germany was preparing for WW2 less than 20 years after WW1 ended. That alone should debunk the 'long peace leads to worse war' argument. Besides, war has nothing to do with time and everything to do with who we put in power, how they manage the resources and relations with other countries. If we expect and demand from our politicians and ourselves to handle conflicts without violence and with humanism, then there is a good chance war will be avoided ☮
@yibithehispanic3 жыл бұрын
@@MarkArandjus Assuming an inaccuracy with more inaccuracies? You don't need to kill to make things a lot worse, is the crisis and the consequences of these conflicts that makes it worse. Some important points about the list is that the death tolls are totally unstable, it doesn't follow a pattern as the time goes on and the crucial fact that we're talking about data that dates from the 1800's until our current time, as we both know a lot of bigger conflicts happened during that time lapse, besides death, as I said it before, would not be the only problem the people will have to face. Europe internally can be seen as stable but their borders shows another whole different history. The First world war wasn't just a burst, it was a direct consequence of the armed peace, where the strong development of the war industry of these nations and the growing tension in international relations blew up in a catastrophic conflict that devastated the entire continent, right now we're literally in our belle époque, we're so embraced in the idea of peace between the nations, so developed, so interconnected with one society to another that we see a massive conflict as something impossible to happen, when in reality we're not aware that our world is in the middle of a other armed peace, don't you realize? The war industry is at its maximum height, entire nations are becoming more armed, preparing for war and the tensions between the rising China and other powers and our current hegemon that is USA and their allies is becoming worse and worse as the time passes, and yes they can and they will drag us along in the process. I'm not saying that the next conflict will be worse just because of the World War II, I'm being logical, the world has become more globalized than it was 70 years ago, right now our world is so connected that if one line gets cut off the whole nerve system might collapse, and we're talking about commerce, communication, alliances, absolutely everything and if only one of these areas gets affected a lot of people will die. Time has anything to do with war, it measures how catastrophic a war between two powerful sides can be, You're a pacifist, that's why you're not able to see the whole picture of our current problems, you have the same peaceful vision as Chamberlain did once. You can demand peace to your leaders, but this is not Vietnam, they're not too tired to fight, they didn't even begun to fight. The establishment didn't gave up the Middle East even after so much protests and discontent from their people what makes you think that they will give up another conflict for bigger interests? The chances that war will be avoided are equal as the chances that war will happen. What you need to understand is that we're not playing chess, we're playing dice. Wars can always happen, even more right now.
@MarkArandjus3 жыл бұрын
@@yibithehispanic *"it doesn't follow a pattern"* Yes, that was my point. It doesn't follow a pattern. You're the one who said prolonged peace leads to worse conflicts. So I pointed out there is no pattern that follows this one way or the other. *"we see a massive conflict as something impossible to happen, when in reality we're not aware that our world is in the middle of a other armed peace, don't you realize?"* Don't you realize you're explaining to a person who keeps saying we need to actively work to maintain peace the fact that war isn't impossible? *"You're a pacifist"* Nope, I am not a pacifist. Just because I think it's important that we should strive to avoid armed conflict doesn't mean I don't believe in violence as a course of action and is never justified. *"you have the same peaceful vision as Chamberlain did once"* Wrong again. Chamberlain was a non-interventionalist. If a European country invaded another European country the way the Nazi Germany did, I would argue for involvement of other European countries to come to that country's defense. Militarily, if necessary. You're making far too many assumptions about me, was it the peace symbol emoji that threw you off? I can assure you I'm not a hippie :D *"You can demand peace to your leaders, but this is not Vietnam"* I wasn't suggesting we literally just ask our leaders to listen via protests and strongly worded letters. I was implying voting for people and policies who are less hawkish and jingoistic. BTW nowhere did I say we shouldn't be ready for war, I don't know why you keep pointing that out. Like I said, I'm from Slovenia, a country whose history is practically defined by occupation of other nations. We've been invaded in my lifetime, so you don't need to explain to me the need for a strong military in case of a potential war. *"The chances that war will be avoided are equal as the chances that war will happen."* I don't know about equal, but both chances exist, yes. Hence my original comment urging people to focus on the peace option with how they think, act, and vote.

I was in high school the day the wall came down. To this day it is a reminder that we all need to work against government oppression, particularly the scourge of communism upon the world. I grew up in the twilight of the cold war, we lived in fear of nuclear annihilation daily, it was awful.

***** Sorry, Fernando, but Allende wasn't communist. He did allow communist to participate in his government, but it was guilt by association. The US paid for Pinochet's verdugos to murder dissenters. Allende was no more a communist than Mexico or Panama's governments were. Nationalizations, yes; communist, no.

In relation to someone’s reply, I remember my mom telling me about this when I was really little and watching videos about it. I didn’t take an interest in it until I was about 12. I read about it and watched videos about it. I also built a much smaller version of it in my room. I wish I could’ve been there.

I can't believe I never learned about this school. I was born in the 80s, we studied historical events from centuries ago over and over again every year, but we only learned up to the end of WWII. All that I learned about 1945 - 2000 involved the Civil Rights Movement. The Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis, The Gulf War, I have had to educate myself about! I can tell you all about George Washington, but don't know what happened during my actual life time! :/

Mary R if you were born in the late 80s other things were going on that were kind of a big deal in the early 90s... but how could you never have known or heard anything about this topic until many years later..? other than being too young when the event occurred to be aware of it perhaps.

Wir sind sehr gläubig,und von daher ist es gar nicht anders zu erklären.

"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
