This video is better than other similar videos except for the periods around WWII and the economic stagnation of the last 30 years. They are basically lies.
You should know that after the war, the U.S. burned more books in Japan than Hitler, Qin Shi Huang, and Nero, over 7,700 titles, more than anyone in the history of mankind except Mao Zedong, under the War Guilt Information Program, which was originally planned by the OSS.
Most of the books they burned were about the war, especially what was happening in China. For whatever reason, they also burned books on ancient Japanese history and Hideyoshi. They fired over 200,000 teachers and civil servants and fabricated history with their newly hired puppet communist teachers at the Law Faculty of Tokyo University. Of course, all this is against international law. Your "history" of the war is this newly fabricated history.
The generation that was more affected by this program was born between 1933 and about 1957, and their generation was the generation that became the most leftist in Japan, and believe it or not, when they became the center of the Japanese economy in their 50s, Japan suffered the lost "30 years".
They ignored the concept of the nation and the public, ran after their own interests, created, drowned, and collapsed the bubble economy, left deflation unchecked, refused to reform, created the lost 30 years, let Japanese technology be stolen, lost companies, created the world's largest budget deficit, sold history, sold the nation, defiled their predecessors, lost pride, and, except during the war, were the worst performers since the first Emperor Jinmu.
This is the generation that complained more than any other and destroyed Japan while denying the past, but in the end created nothing new of its own.
Simply put, while this generation was in charge of Japan, the U.S. stock market rose nearly 30-fold while Japan's stock market fell nearly one-fifth; they lost out to the IT revolution while the rest of the world enjoyed a historic economic boom; they were by far the worst performing generation, failing not only in relative terms but in absolute terms.
No other major country in modern or contemporary world economic history, outside of wartime, has performed so miserably over such a long period of time, making them the worst-performing generation in Japan's history and the worst-performing generation in the world's history, both in name and in reality.
This is not to say that there has not been another major geopolitical factor in Japan's economic slowdown since the 1980s. But that's a very big issue, and I'm not going to talk about it here.
However, if the name of your game is truth or history and not war propaganda or some political ideology, you should dig deeper than that, especially when you speak ill of other countries. Facts about wars and geopolitical matters are always covered by thick layers of political propaganda.
