Dan Carlin's Hardcore History 62 Supernova in the East 1

The Asia-Pacific War of 1937-1945 has deep roots. It also involves a Japanese society that’s been called one of the most distinctive on Earth. If there were a Japanese version of Captain America, this would be his origin story.

Akira Kurosawa said that when he walked to work a few hours before the emperor had declared the surrender, every person he saw was grim faced and preparing for battle and death. Tradesmen were sharpening their knives; women were constructing spears. When he walked back home after the emperor's announcement, it was like a different world. Grocers and restaurants had their doors open, and were cheerily calling for customers. Everyone had relaxed and gone back to smiling and living their lives. He had grown up in that fanatical pre-war society, but even so he was absolutely astonished at the complete change people had undergone in so brief a time.

Fascism always leads to murder. Yours is not exempt.

[@AdHominus]

Zombi Pineapple What do you mean by Fascism? The 1930s Italian syndicalist movement, or generic statism? Marxists always appropriate terms with commonly-accepted definitions and relativize them to their historical dialectic. By defining Fascism = murder, you've conflated ideas/speech with actions and thus legitimize violence against whoever you see as committing wrongthink. This is consistent with the ideology of Dialectical Materialism, by far the most murderous ideology ever conceived in human history.

He actually went back further than that. He referenced Tokugawa Shogunate and the Battle of Sekigahara which was 1600 AD. Tokugawa Ieyasu started the Tokugawa Shogunate. And that height of the Samurai warfare that Dan referenced was even further back than that. Sekigahara was the grand finale to it All that to say, Dan is the man

As a Chinese, I feel extremely empathetic about this episode. The history from 1840s to 1949 is a tragic nightmare for us during which China used to be invaded by almost all the western countries, Russia and Japan. And among all the invasion, China suffered most from that of Japan during WWII. I appreciate that Dan gives very specific detail about the history of this period, a lot of which is written in the Chinese History textbook.

[@williamoakes5545]

Even though there are few dislikes for this podcast, I am confused as to why there are any dislikes at all. What didn't you like about this ? I find them to be incredibly entertaining and intriguing deep dives into the background and circumstances that spawn these world-changing events. You couldn't pay me enough money in High School to care about these subjects. Now I pay gladly to hear Dan's take on them. An earlier commenter suggested that these be made into BBC documentaries, however I think that this self-produced model is perhaps more efficient, and less likely to be interfered with by people more interested in money and agendas. Want more like this? Pay the man for his dedication and skill. Dan, 'Blueprint for Armageddon' 1-6, is the most fascinating thing I've ever listened to. All ~23 hours of it. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

41:15 "I hope I mispronounced that name properly" Such a delightful error.

I think I was listening to "Celtic Haulocaust" recently where he mentions an old quip about Latin: "There is both a right way and a wrong way to mispronounce Latin." So Dan's familiar with finicky pronunciation and jokes about finicky pronunciation. I wouldn't put it past him to make that joke.

Been reading about early modern Japan recently, specifically their transformation from a feudal society in the late 19th century into a thoroughly modern "Western" country at a time when their contemporaries in Asia were being carved up by Imperial Powers. An amazingly interesting period for anyone interested in Japan or World History. Can highly recommend the two books I am working my way through: A Diplomat in Japan - Ernest Satow (First hand account of the life of the interpreter for the British Legation) Samurai Revolution - Romulus Hillsborough (Very well researched look into the larger political crisis and the life of one of the many interesting figures caught up in the crisis) Thank you for all the work you do Dan!

[@lostinthought475]

To form the most accurate understanding of history, you have to examine every perspective and account of events, and cross reference each of them, see what events are agreed upon by all and understand intimately each perspectives goals and aspirations.

I had a history teacher in high school like that, he opened his discussion about the descent of Weimar Republic's into the Nazis with something to the effect that these were highly intelligent people, one day they were debating homosexuality, then they were committing genocide.

In the 1960s Admiral Yamamoto's Son, his wife and his grandchildren lived in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas Texas. They were members of the Kiestwood Baptist Church. One of my best friends attended that church and took me over to their home. He was friends with one of the boy's. We went fishing in a creek nearby with him. I'll never forget the huge portrait of Admiral Yamamoto they had over their fireplace. Adorned with what looked like a shrine. From what I can remember. It was 1966 and I was 11 years old. Strange times where I lived. Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Yamamoto family and Oswald all living within 5 square miles of my Oak Cliff Dallas Texas neighborhood.

My wife is Japanese and grew up in Japan, we listened to this together and she enjoyed it as well. Great job at representing this in a balanced manner. Very accurate representation of Japan as a whole, I appreciate you doing this more than I could explain!

[@monarchtherapsidsinostran9125]

jflabeets1 facts aren't intentionally balanced. Just saying. Yet yeah dan tends to be addicted to context on boths sides of a story if he can find it. Which is why we fans leap onto each episode. :)

Couldn't have asked for a better new Hardcore History! Such a good topic! Thank you!

I guess it's a good thing I'm unemployed right now, because I can never stop listening to a hardcore history once I start it.
