still looked over a lot

the video isn't meant to go into 100% detail; there's a lot of stuff that looks like it got brushed over. it looks like it's meant to be funny/interesting first, and educational second. that's not too bad

This is actually really accurate.
except not really

it's supposed to be entertaining, not accurate



>Clans all over Japan battle for Kyoto for a few hundred years with peace every here-and-now
>Portuguese come to japan in the 1500s and give some clans (Otomo mainly) Matchlock Muskets.
>Those clans have advantage over bow clans
>The emperor of Japan closes all of its borders to outsiders for 300 years
>In the 1850s America comes in and forgets everyone up, humiliating the people of Japan.
>Japan gets introduced to railways, Gatling guns, etc.
>Empire of the rising sun is basically communist.
>Invade China
>Invade Pear Harbor (Hey lets poke the lion with a stick and see what happens)
>national socialist Germany dies
>Japan keeps fighting for some loving reason
>Japan gets nuked twice. (Nagasaki and I cant remember the other one)
>America and Japan are friends now (I think)
>Japan is now one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.

Japan has a pretty dark history if you ask me. For some reason I have a fascination with Japanese Matchlocks and I wish to own one, but they cost like, 2000+ USD
