Easilu some of the best history content on KZbin, it has it’s own appeal, not long form video essays or statistical analysis, but it portrays history both as how it is for humans, an amazing series of stories that capture the imagination, and what it really was, with good sources and subjective appeal. Bravo sir, every video is incredible

@@HistoryDose I think you should do a video on the Anglo-Ashanti wars. After your coverage of the Anglo-Zulu wars, I'm confident you'll like this particular engagement between the British empire and one of its fiercest opponents in Africa. This war is also unique as it was fought in dense jungles, where both sides were well-armed with gunpowder weapons. Plus info on the war is abundant.

I know some people find it kind of disappointing that there doesn't seem to be a "true ninja" secret order like some kind of anime or something but personally I think it's really cool that the actual shinobi were almost more of a folk tradition (speaking as someone who does not know a lot about the subject)

There were Ninja Clans instead. Basically mercenaries but more organized.

_"It is the cold time of year, so Shinobi would not approach unless it is a moonlit night. ... And nevertheless, rotate the watchmen three times during the night, roll down the stones, throw torches and observe."_ - A member of the Hojo clan. Not some shadowy organization, nor an honorable code of nightly justice. Just brutalist clandestine terror tactics, and a razor-sharp voice that spoke only in corpses. Feudal Japan was one of the most brutal and bloody chapters human history has ever known. The Shinobi reflected that in full.
@julianius48410 ай бұрын
"Not some shadowy organization" not really. Most shinobi belonged to ninja clans. Those clans acted as organizations with a grandmaster in charge known as "Jonin". They had their own code. They followed certain codes of honor (as funny as it sounds given they were considered honorless by the samurai), loyalty and discretion.

Absolutely awesome video. Yes, most of what we call "ninjutsu" was historically nothing more than secret infiltration and guerilla tactics utilized by samurai forces. Some of the people engaged in these tasks would be samurai themselves, peasant foot soldiers, or even bandits temporarily hired by samurai warlords. In the later Edo period, it evolved more into secret police work.
@Durzo12599 ай бұрын
That's the part I was unclear on. You could say ninjutsu is more a tactic that could be carried out by anyone, but were there dedicated career ninja? Just as anyone can be a spy and use spy tactics, but there are dedicated CIA operatives who are professional spies.
@alittlepuertoricanboy19939 ай бұрын
@@Durzo1259 You only see "career ninjas" during the Edo period, as in, their jobs were officially called "shinobi no mono". Even then, spycraft wasn't the only thing that they did. More times than not, their usual duties were guard duty, inspection, criminal capture, being civil servants, and fire watch, along with secret police work.
@alittlepuertoricanboy19939 ай бұрын
@@Durzo1259 Before the Edo period, shinobi work was spycraft and guerilla warfare, and there really wasn't anyone dedicated solely to doing shinobi work. For example, the second Hattori Hanzo, the one that was one of Ieyasu's most trusted retainers, his main function was as a commander for Ieyasu's troops, but he did some secret night raiding earlier in his career, and he was later tasked to set up a spy network by Ieyasu, using 200 displaced samurai from his father's homeland of Iga. These same 200 Iga samurai would end up becoming castle guards, gunners, and spies for the Tokugawa Shogunate.

It really shows how much scholars and creative freedom can influence the contemporary view on the past, we can attribute many of these perceptions to Edo period writers who romanticized many aspects of the Sengoku Jidai and the Genpei War. People would probably be stunned by the idea that, by the time (or equivalent, in the least) the practices and use of assassination was a concept that was fully embraced, theorized and studied in Europe, especially when we talk about literature like Machiavelli's "The Prince", where the realm of political assassination was discussed, but never would assassins take on the form of "shadowy warriors" who lurk in the night and are able to get inside a castle by their own prowess in a relatively short time, but instead by slow, methodical infiltration within the enemy ranks, either through leverage or bribes, taking on the role of a diplomat, merchant or an inconspicuous artisan because wasting resources on training a man to be able to infiltrate a castle through more unconventional manners would just end up having him killed. The same applies with Japan, because the japanese actually think methodically and with logic (even if really brutal at times, but not too far off from their european counterparts), so naturally the same rules would apply even if evidence on political assassinations that ocured in feudal japan are much rarer than what we find in Europe and the Levant.

You should do an episode on the Battles of Kawanakajima. Definitely some of the most interesting and epic battles in Japanese History (especially the incredible 4th Battle). It was basically a massive chess match between the unstoppable Takeda Shingen “The Tiger of Kai” and his rival, the immovable Uesugi Kenshin “The Dragon of Echigo”. In the 4th one Kenshin sees an opportunity to attack Shingen’s guard with his own personal guard. Kenshin, sword drawn, charges atop his horse towards Shingen himself. Shingen doesnt have enough time to draw his own sword, so he parries Kenshin’s attack with his war fan. This was the first time these great rivals came face to face. Eventually they were broken up and the battle continued. This one essentially ended as a draw. These battles utilise everything, from espionage, to battle tactics, to ploy. Would love to see it visualised like this.

This was well done, thank you. There is another type of Ninja though that I believe also existed, that which stemmed from peasants who were normally at extreme disadvantage in all ways to those they might seek to kill, thus stealth, surprise, tricks, poison, and above all keeping one's identity unknown was required. Thus, for example, a peasant who became motivated enough to kill a samurai might find a way to poison the samurai so that no fight even happens, or a small group of peasants might surprise a samurai using farming tools and through surprise and numbers defeat the samurai, afterwards to blame the death upon unknown assassins in the dark.
