  1. Whomever wants to claim America as “racist”, after World War II Japan got off easy while Germany was divided for 45 Years. Two nukes that saved millions more Japanese and Allied lives and probably cause Russia to invade the home islands and divide them is getting off really easy in the long run.

  2. If ever a third world war will emerge then all LGBTQ+ will be the soldiers because they are brave enough when they fight for their rights.

  3. If only japan had surrendered with the rest of the world perhaps Hiroshima and Nagasaki would still be fine. So muh for their pride, inncoent people had to feel the consequences

  4. Japan liberated ASIA from western colonies and chenged the world

  5. "Douglas MacArthur is one of the Greatest Americans who have ever lived".

  6. My Dad (RIP) was there at the signing. I am proud now, but as a kid I thought it was the most boring thing ever……derr…kids.

  7. Today is My Birthday, Keanu Reeves Birthday, and most importantly the end of WWII!

  8. Their camera quality is better than mine

  9. I just realized these are the maps in Call Of Duty WWll

  10. Wow! I hope that we always remember the tragedy and the loss the world collectively endured and never under any circumstances head towards another world war.

  11. America is the reason why theres a world wide peace💗

  12. What a shame to japan, land of famous samurai bend to their knees. But China will bend America to their knee , 100% for sure, if they act too cocky.

  13. 9 allies nation are stands facing Japanese that who just alone. Seems odd there. But, this is the relief moment for asian country. Which japan no longer conquer most of the asian country. Tq Lord..

  14. Well, the Asia-Pacific War part of the World War II is over, and along with Nazi Germany too. (1939, 1941-1945).

  15. Truman was a good President

  16. Why President Truman did not mentioned in the Visitors' Book of USS Missouri that the happiest day of his life was when he ordered Atomic bombs on Japan, when Japan had already told the Allied about its surrender. W ehave to think deeply as to why USA throw Atomic Bombs on Japan an Asian country as a test ground for Atomic bombs because he was member of KKK. Yes inhis youth Harry Truman joined KKK. History is not that what is told to us by You-tubers. If there is good than there is Bad also. And if some true facts of History is told to us, then much are kept away from us. This video is sanitized versiosn of History, where bitter truth is kept away and sweet lies are presented with topings. Hoever. I salute all the soldiers of every form of forces of all countries for fighting with courage. Wars are not good but theses are results of clash of egos of countries. Furthermore, we being normal country loving citizens criticize War, but there are few who loves Wars, those who make profits from Wars, such as companies which make Tanks, Guns, Uniforms, Ammunition, Military gears, crafts etc. etc.

  17. Thanks for the Pearl Harbor attack.

  18. I grew up going to church with an old man who was on the ship when Japan surrendered. His claim to fame was that general MacArthur once tripped on some barbed wire and he put his hand on his shoulder to keep his balance. Pretty cool dude, had some interesting war stories.

  19. This was honestly very beautiful

  20. MISSOURI…….The heartbeat of America..❤

  21. MacArthur "These proceedings are closed."

  22. I stood in McAurther's foot prints on that deck when I was a boy.

  23. the nukes saved the world. weird isn't it ?
