Japanese Reacts to "History of Japan"

hey guys it's Jen here today I'm going to be reacting to a video called history of Japan and this videos got 55 million things on YouTube and so many people reacting to this also so I figured it would be interesting for me to watch it as well so let's get right into it Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes and it's in the year- a billion Japan might not have been here in the year negative 40000 it was here and you could walk to it and some people walk to it then I got warmer some icebergs melted it became an island and now there's lots of trees because it's warmer so now there's people on the island they're basically sort of hanging out in between the mountains eating nuts up trees and using the latest technology like stones and bowls ding dong if the outside is an apology from the future like really good metal and crazy rice farms now you can make a lot of rice or really really quickly is if you own the farm you own a lot of food which is something everybody needs to survive so that makes you King rice farming and rice kingdoms spread across the land all the way to here the most important kingdoms were here here here here here here and here but this one was the most most important ruled by a heavenly super person our Emperor for surely no get the door it's religion the new Prince wants everyone to try this hot new religion from the aect please try this religion he said no said everybody try it everybody again quieter this time and so the religion was put into place and all the words acquired then the government was taken over by another clique and they made some reforms like making the government covered more and making the government more like China's government which is a government that governs more China said heíd [ __ ] said China so you call us something else other than [ __ ] such Japan like what said China how about some so Japan and they stole China's poetry and art in another book about themselves then they stopped moving the capital every time the Emperor died and kept it in one place for a while right here and they conquered the North finally get that squared away a rich hipster named Koo Chi is bored with modern Buddhism visits and learns a better version which is comes back reinvents the alphabet it causes art and literature to be great for a long time and the royal palace turned into such a dream world of art that they really didn't give a [ __ ] about running the country so if you live outside the palace how are you supposed to protect your [ __ ] from criminals everyone started hiring Samurai rich important people hired samurai poor people who could not afford to hire samurai did not hire samurai-sama organized and powerful more powerful than the government so they made their own military government here they let the Emperor still be Emperor fighting the Shogun's literally in control breaking news the Mongols have invaded China we've invaded join us at the Mongols please respect us or else we might invade you as well okay so Japan so the Mongols came over ready for war and died in a tornado but they tried again and had a nice time fighting with the Japanese but then died in a tornado and overthrows the Shogunate that John it overthrows him back and moves to Kyoto and makes a new Shogunate and the Emperor can still dress like an emperor if he wants that's fine like painting with less colors collaborative poetry plays monkey fun tea parties Dartmouth largely textured flowers it's time for who's going to be the next Shogun usually it's the Shogun's kit but the Shogun doesn't have occator so he tries to get his brother to quit being a monk and be the next Geoghan he says okay but then the Shogun has a kid so now who's gonna vote now on your phones and everyone voted so hard that the palace caught on fire and burn down the Shogun actually didn't care he was off somewhere to the co tree and the whole country broke into pieces everyone is fighting with the other local power this is the foundation of our current Prefecture right even though bad thing it's way less because now that we have 47 no but yeah and it's anybody's game knock knock it's Europe no they're not here to take over they just want to sell some [ __ ] like clocks and guns but everyone's still fighting each other for control now with guns and wouldn't it be nice to control the capital which right now is puppets with no one controlling this clan is ready to make a run for it but first they have to trample this smaller clan which is in the way surprise smaller clan wins and the leader of that clan steals the idea of abating the capital and invades the capital and it goes very well he's about halfway through conquer in Japan when someone who works for him kills him and then someone else who works for him kills them so if you are interested in Japanese culture and history it's something you might want to remember I would say finishes conquering Japan and then he confiscated everybody's swords and made some rules and now I'm going to invade Korea and then hopefully China he said and failed and also died here but before he died he told these five guys to take care of his five-year-old son until he's old enough to be the next ruler of Japan and the five guys said Yeah right it's not gonna be this kid it's gonna be one of us cuz we're grownups and it's probably gonna be this guy who happens to be way more rich and powerful than the others support him but a lot of people support not supporting him they have a fight and he wins and starts a new government right here and he still lets the Emperor dress like an emperor and have very nice things but don't get confused this is the new government and they are very strict so strict they closed the country no one can leave and no one can come in except for the Dutch if they want to buy and sell [ __ ] but they have to do it right here now that the entire country was not a war with itself the population raised a lot business increase schools were built roads were built everyone learned to read books were published there's poetry plays sexytimes puppet shows and Dutch study people started to study European science from books they bought from the Dutch we're talking geography skeletons physics chemistry astronomy and maybe even electricity over time the economic and cultural prosperity began to gradually slow down knock knock it's the United States huge boats with guns gunboats United States Britain and Russia visit Japan anytime they want Joshu and Satsuma hated this that sucks they said this sucks with almost very little outside help they overthrew the Shogunate and somehow made the Emperor the Emperor again and moved him to Oedo which they renamed Eastern capital they made a new government which was a lot more Western they made a new constitution that was pretty Western and a military that was pretty Western do you know what else is Western that's right it's conquering stuff so what can we conquer Korea that conquer Korea taking it from its previous owner China and then go a little bit further and Russia Russia's in out of nowhere and says stop no you can't take that we were gonna build a railroad through here to try and get some warm water and Russia Falls there supervised by a [ __ ] ton of soldiers and then when the railroad was done they downgraded to a crap-ton that I say downgrade I mean oh great and Japan says can you maybe chill and Russia says how about maybe you chill Japan is kind of scared of Russia you'll never guess who's also kind of scared of Russia Great Britain so Japan and Great Britain make an alliance together so they can be a little less scared of Russia feeling confident Japan goes to war against Russia just for a moment and then they both get tired and stop it's time the world is about to have a war because it's the nineteen hundreds and weapons are getting crazy and all these empires are excited to try them out on each other meanwhile Japan has been enjoying conquering stuff and once more and the next thing on their list is this part of China and lots of tiny islands all that stuff belongs to Germany which just had war declared on but Britain because Britain was friends with Belgium which was being trespassed by Germany in order to get to France to kick Frances asked because Frances friends with Russia who was getting ready to kick Austria's asked because Austria was getting ready to kick Serbia's ass because someone from Serbia shot the leader of Austria's ass her actually shot him in the head what room is currently friends with Japan so you know with our endless Durga pant which they wanted to do anyway so they called Britain on the telly to sort of let them film and then they did it and they also helped Britain a little here and there but some errands and stuff now the war is over and congratulations Japan you technically fought in the war which means you get to sit at the negotiating table with the big dudes or they decided who owns what and yes Japan gets to keep all that [ __ ] they stole from Germany you also get to join the post-war mega alliance the League of Nations whose mission statement is to try not to take over the world the Great Depression is bad Japan's economy is now crappy but the military is doing just fine and it invades Manchuria in the League of Nations it's like China and was planning to invade the entire East you've got mail it's from Germany the new leader of Germany he has a cool mustache and he's trying to take over the world and his friends this also got forwarded to Italy they all decided to be friends because they had so much in common Germany is invading the neighbors then they invade the neighbors neighbors then the neighbors neighbors neighbors who happen to be Britain said holy [ __ ] the United States started helping Britain because they are friends I started not helping Japan because they're friends and our friends are my friends States is also working on a large very huge bomb bigger than any other bomb ever just in case but they still have the war war looks bad on TV and the United States is really certain to care about their image but then Japan spits on them in Hawaii it challenges them to war and they say yes and then Germany is a symbol of friendship declares war on the United States also so the United States goes to war in Europe and they help the gang chase Germany back into Germany and they also start chasing Japan back into Japan and they haven't used the bomb yet and are curious to see if it works so they drop it on Japan - eat up - they ask you how you already just have to say that you're fine and you're not really fun you just can't get into it because all the new government inspired by the United States government just the right ingredients for apples and Japan starts making TVs VCRs automobiles and camcorders as fast as they can and also better than everybody else to get rich and the economy goes wild and then the miracle wears off but everything's still pretty cool I guess [Music] wait that's it that was it okay alright okay so I didn't expect how the video ended it was like cut off but overall I liked it I liked how he this guy turned thousands of years of Japanese history into one video literally and that's only nine minutes and he was very you know in a way that's very funny and entertaining to viewers so yeah I liked it and I think it's good for kids to watch it before they get into you know learning the whole history of Japan because it's so long and I think it will be better to have a kind of bigger picture first and then move on to learning details so I wish I kind of watched it when I was in elementary school or something but this video is like a few years old so but anyway thank you guys so much for watching with me and I hope I'll see you guys in my next video bye
