Thinking how Japan basically skipped almost 300 years of technological advancements and gained it in a few decades and still maintain its title as the most technologically advanced Asian country even after beaten up badly during World War Two is wild

Love the Shogun 2 total war intro lmfao

The oversimplified napoleon hight thing was funny

It's 5 AM in Poland, and you just gave me another reason why not to sleep.

24:40 fun fact: French army advisors in Japan introduced high kicks into Karate from the French martial art of Savate

1:03 Does anyone else get PTSD when Ezekiel uses the war declaration sound,uprising sound and stability losing sound from EU4?

The irony is that those who wanted to overthrow Shogunate and remove foreign influence in Japan became prominent figures who were willing to embrace foreign systems when they won over shogunate.

Satsuma: “I can’t believe I’m going to die fighting alongside Choshu.” Choshu: “How about fighting alongside a friend?” Satsuma: “Hai. I can do that.”

45:12 “the japanese army, without orders from tokyo…” good thing that wont become a trend later on….surely….

many people say that china is the Germany of Asia but I disagree imo, Japan is the Germany of Asia because both countries were fractured and were united by a strong man leader type and then became the power houses of each region, and the funny thing is both countries defeated big countries like Russia and France respectively and both lost a great war but still mange to become global power in making cars

A month of waiting doesnt disapoint!

Just discovered this channel and I love how they kept the old tradition of the countryball’s speaking in broken English. Very enjoyable video.

How do you only have 110K subs? Criminal y’all deserve wayy more

The Oversimplified Napoleon reference was superb.

I love your channel. I always liked country balls and history. So thank you. Love from Slovenia 🇸🇮🇸🇮

I still can't believe this guy is pumping such high quality content with such little time No joke this guy deserves way more recognition

Meiji restoration is really fascinating event

A series in the Korean Empire would be awesome!!

Ain't no way you just animated the Shogun 2 intro, it's so good.
