@thestockguy: Why Did Japan Surrender in WWII? #History #ww2 #story

darkXarcher :

So please explain how Russia was going to get to Japan with no Navy.

. :

False info hitler started using drugs after barbarossa

wrx_Mikeyg :

They surrendered because the Soviet Union was already invading Manchuria and they did not want Russia to occupy Japan

MangUcokProductions :

it sickens me when school system always taught students that Japan surrendered due to Hiroshima and Nagasaki with never even mentioning Soviet invasion of Manchuria.

Westin Chase359 :

This is mostly false. Tojo and many others said at the Tokyo trials that the second bomb on Nagasaki forced there surrender and said that the Soviet army invading Manchuria had little to no impact on there surrender

Aidan Martucci :

The USSR didn’t have a navy, so there was not way for the USSR to get over to Japan

Joseph :

not sure allies is the right word for germany and the ussr i would say trading partners correct me if im wrong

Tran :

When UK and France sign a peace deal with Hitler, do they become German Allies? Remember the Munich Agreement.

andrauspetorius1234 :

No. The Soviet Union was not the reason. The Soviet Union going into Manchuria meant nothing. They routed an already depleted army unit. The Soviet Union had no way of even getting to Japan. They had no navy to speak of outside of subs.

rohansinghh7 :

Germany and the USSR were never allies. AH knew Germany weren’t strong enough at the time to take them on, as of that moment with Europe on the brink of war. AH hated communism more than the US did post ww2. His main goal was to conquer the USSR in the first place but needed time knowing that Britain and France would declare war on Germany once they invaded Poland

Obiwan Kenobi :

USSR and Germany weren’t allies but they had the non aggression pact

Crazypanda :

Nobody :

you got wrong. they surrender to US because USSR would take the emperor out of his throne.

hz6hus :

He forgot to mention oil

s@dberson :

watch "potential history" about why japan surrendered

Rolinn :

Russua

K1D :

Bro this is crazy. I check a couple things and yes you’re right. That’s actually mind blowing

Banos_Oscar :

Ob3one :

stocky or history teacher? rebrand?

Austin Hobbs :

Ahh yes. Because Russia’s navy could cross the sea at the time. Oh wait they didn’t have a navy. How is Russia gonna invade an island?

Shaniac_NC_1717 :

The Soviet Union was also about to start invading from the north.

i_steal_poptarts :

I don’t like this argument. Manchuria is north east china. Very far from Japan, despite them occupying it. The country notorious for not surrendering is scared because Russian invaded northeastern China? Not to mention the USSR didn’t have a navy and they were gonna use the American navy to get troops from the USSR to Japan. I’m not saying that it played no role but if you want more information the fat electrician did a video where he talks about this and it’s pretty funny I recommend watching it, it’s something with Florida man in the title.

creativekarma_ :

Was told In HS that Japan was Ready to surrender after the first bomb had dropped, but by the time that message got to the US, the 2nd nuke had been dropped.

johnk3562 :

Russia wasn’t even done with conquering China yet and had no way of getting to Japan cause they didn’t have a navy
