So nice to see the IJA and IJN getting along for once. And to think, all it took was the loss of some 40,000 men in the south Pacific and a total strategic reversal to make it happen.

You couldn’t take a class at college that goes into this much detail. It is much appreciated.

[@LoneWanderer727]

It's unbelievable that we get all of this amazing, detailed coverage of the Pacific War for the low, LOW price of a like and subscribe!

[@minoru-kk]

Brilliant as always. The British had troubles but willing to try to improve them which threatened victory. This is one of the many things missing from the IJA

[@NameCannotBeBlank24]

I am always excited to watch this series! I can't wait to see the full in-depth of campaign in the Pacific most notably the Philippines theater.

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

I completely agree with you on that and I would say that I can’t wait to see the full in depth of campaign in the Marshall, Gilbert, Mariana, Palau, The Philippines and the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands Campaigns along with the battle of Imphal and the recapture of Burma and the Dutch East Indies.

Yesssss!!! I didn't even get to check my notifications until like 10:45 my time, it was a really long day. That being said, to be able to unwind from that day by enjoying a new episode of this series was absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you as always for the brilliant content!!!

[@jamessnee7171]

I have said this before but I have been waiting all my life for a detailed comprehensive look at the Solomon Is. and SW Pacific campaigns. I'm 69 yrs. old. This is a tad bit more than... "Neutralisation of Rabaul allowed the move to the Philippians".

[@brokenbridge6316]

I'm really liking the fact that this series tried to cover all theaters of the Pacific War.

[@jonbaxter2254]

Love the infographs when you show all planes in a battle, helps put it into perspective.

[@jamesm3471]

When the Allies neutralized Japanese air & sea power on Rabaul, it totally shattered the illusion that Japan still had any initiative left in the Pacific War. Knocking out all of Rabaul’s teeth, ie its aircraft, & bypassing it was definitely the correct call.

[@recoil53]

Just the idea that Truk and Rabaul were used as training grounds for new air crews must have been humiliating. But the Japanese high command kept thinking they could force a decisive battle and turn it all around right up to the end.

[@901Sherman]

And so the march to Tokyo begins. Can't wait for the coverage on New Georgia, Rabaul, Lae-Salamaua, etc.

You pronunciation of these people and places is unique Bougainville rhymes with logan bill. Remember New Guinea was a German colony before WW1 so pronunciations are closer to English and German that French or Latin. Savige is savage. Wavell is waving at you. Long A. We hear these people and place names every year in Australia on Anzac day. P.S. on of the officers that trained me in the army was Brigadier George Wootten's son or grandson.

[@christopherlane8673]

Another incredibly well-made video!

[@wulergaming]

The British doing a full re-evaluation of the performance of the military in India is hugely important to militaries. Being able to not only actively replace less skilled or failing commanders, but also bringing in experienced ones to train and create doctrine is one of the reasons why the Allies were able to go from such an ineffective military, to winning the war. Recognizing and fixing the lack of supplies and inefficiencies within the military instead of just "pretending" that everything is well. It's also why Russia has been failing in Ukraine, while they have replaced commanders, on top of morale issues there is a huge lack of adaptability within the Russian military, and even just outright experience in everything but a few key figures. Especially when it comes to the scale of the war, which is the largest conflict Russia has been in since it was essentially the Soviet Union in ww2.

[@recoil53]

Russia had already sent in their training staff by the middle of last year. They've lost at least eight generals - and Russia takes an extremely top down approach to warfare. A lot of colonels too, so there isn't a lot of experienced commanders to move around. The average conscript does want to be there, so there is no morale boosting "moral imperative". There are skilled Russian soldiers, the paratroopers. They've been getting chewed up.

[@pistolen87]

I think you should lower the background music just a little bit, it's a bit too loud compared to the narration. Ps. love the Pacific war series!

[@bikkiikun]

It's really no surprise, that the Indian Army was in such shambles... it was never designed to fight such a superior enemy, but to enforce Colonial rule upon it own peoples. Also, properly training them would also enable them, to fight their Colonial Overlords.

[@jazh7874]

Thanks!

[@n1k2jfan96]

MacArthur had his first face-to-face meeting with Halsey on April 15, 1943, after Halsey became the supreme theater commander for broad strategic direction, and the two hit it off right away. The relationship grew quickly and MacArthur would late say of Halsey, "No name rates higher in the annals of our country's naval history." On the evening of October 26, 1944, the day after the Battle off Samar, MacArthur was sitting down to dinner when he heard staff officers at the other end of the table criticizing Halsey's action in abandoning the Seventh Fleet while he went after the Japanese northern decoy force. MacArthur slammed his bunched fist on the table. "That's enough!" he roared. "Leave the Bull alone! He's still a fighting admiral in my book."

My uncle, in the US Army, was in New Guinea probably at this time. He was wounded, although I don't know when or where, just during the war in New Guinea.

[@UnNuclear]

IJN and seeking a decisive naval confrontation with the USN. Name a more iconic duo.

[@jefesalsero]

General MacArthur’s approach to CARTWHEEL differed from the ‘island-hopping’ campaign experienced in the Central Pacific, where vast distances necessitated repeated costly offensives. SWPA afforded the opportunity for ‘leapfrogging’ and isolation of powerful Japanese strongholds. MacArthur emphatically demonstrated this through his leap into Hollandia and the 1944 Western New Guinea campaign. For those objectives that could not be avoided, extensive shaping was necessary.

Six years to defeat Japan that is how strong they are were fighting alone without Germany or Italy ‏Help rest in peace to all the soldiers that died in this war in the both sides.

[@bruh-ni1fy]

Well, to be fair to Germany and Italy, Japan for most of world war 2 was considered secondary for the allies. The bulk of allied efforts understandably focused on the European theater. Also they were fighting "alone" but not really alone without Germany and Italy. For instance the Royal navy and air force they were facing would have been an entirely different beast if it weren't tied up fighting the Germans and Italians halfway across the world at the same time.

[@phucvinh2883]

The reason British is lacking in training Indians to fight with them because they afraid they will liberate themselves after the war. Everykind of colonial country knows that.

[@zainmudassir2964]

True. Colonial troops were lightly armed and more limited training. Very few in Armour and air forces

[@shashanktrivedi27]

It actually did happen, Navy mutinied in 1946 and those in Japanese POW camps formed INA and fought against their former masters in Burma till the end of the war.

[@zainmudassir2964]

​@@shashanktrivedi27thousands of soldiers mutinied in late 1945 when INA was tried in New Delhi. Lord Wavell said privately there could be revolts in India and urged his government to give independence
