The clash of two legendary and feared classes of warrior: the Mongols and the samurai. They meet on the beaches of Tsushima. What did combat between them look like? Misconceptions persist about this question: from the belief that samurai attempted “single combat” dueling to the idea that Mongols utterly dominated the samurai on the battlefield.

The history of Communist China is shrouded by censorship & propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party, but even the famously obtuse CCP can’t hide the legacy of one of its darkest episodes. The Cultural Revolution which gripped China from 1966 to 1976 remains a topic of great discomfort & regret for many in China due to the incredible amount of disorder, violence & death that it caused. Today on A Day In History, we explore what happened during the Cultural Revolution and why it is so infamous to this day. If you enjoy videos like this, don’t forget to drop a like &subscribe to keep up to date with future content. Prelude The 1960s were a difficult time for China. Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward had been a catastrophic failure. Mao’s agricultural reforms had produced colossal famines that killed tens of millions of people & shattered confidence in his leadership. Although public blame has been deflected to others, Mao was forced to reign as President in 1959 & China pivoted away from his more radical policies under its new President Liu Shaoqi & Party Secretary General Deng Xiaoping. While he wasn’t involved in day-to-day governance, Mao was still Chairman of the CCP with significant power in the party & he remained popular with the public. Moreover, Mao was unhappy with the less radical direction of the new leadership & believed that the Communist Revolution was being betrayed by a secret counter-revolutionary element within China. Mao’s power base at the time was Shanghai, as opposed to the party administration in Beijing. He had key allies there, namely the ‘Gang of Four’ made up of his wife Jiang Qing, the cultural critic Yao Wenyuan, the political theorist Zhang Chunqiao & the young but dedicated Wang Hongwen. Another key ally was Mao’s right-hand man & presumed successor, Lin Biao. The public scapegoating after the Great Leap Forward had preserved Mao’s public image so he retained huge popular support, especially among the peasants & young people. Additionally, Mao was popular with the military, and with Lin Biao as Defence Minister, he could count on it as a reliable ally. This combination of grassroots, military & well-placed elite support would be the key to Mao wrestling back control. #ccp #history #maozedong #china #chinesehistory Looking for high-quality, stylish clothing that's both comfortable & durable?

In this video, we delve into the historical context & decision-making behind the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 6, 1945, six B-29 Stratofortress bombers departed from a small base in the Pacific Ocean. After some planes conducted weather checks and observations, the remaining three planes were tasked with the mission. One carried instruments, one carried observers, & the last one carried the payload that would change history forever. As the designated target, the attack plane initiated the bombing run, providing a clear view of the industrial city of Hiroshima. In an instant, the bomb vaporized thousands of people, causing unimaginable devastation & loss of life. The aftermath involved severe burns, falling debris, & radiation, ultimately affecting 50% of the population. Three days later, a second bombing run occurred, obliterating a residential neighborhood in Nagasaki, resulting in high casualties. These bombings marked the first & only time atomic bombs were used in warfare, & they played a significant role in ending World War II. However, questions arise as to why these particular cities were chosen. Despite not being major centers like Tokyo or Osaka and lacking significant war industry, the reasoning behind their selection is rather grim. This video explores the historical context of the bombings & the way history is written & remembered. It sheds light on the Allied bombing campaigns during World War II, focusing on the perspective of Japan & the Axis powers. While Japan's atrocities are well-documented, it's essential to acknowledge the complexity & nuances of history, going beyond a simplistic black-&-white portrayal. The decision to drop the atomic bombs was influenced by the fierce battle for Okinawa & the estimated high Allied casualties in a potential invasion of mainland Japan. With the development of the nuclear weapon project costing billions of dollars, there was a desire to witness its effectiveness firsthand. The choice to target a city was meant to demonstrate the power of the bomb and potentially avoid a costly invasion. A committee was formed to determine the target city, considering criteria such as a large urban area, strategic value & location between Tokyo & Nagasaki. Through brainstorming sessions, the list was narrowed down to four cities: Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. Eventually, Hiroshima & Nagasaki were selected as the final targets, disregarding their cultural significance & focusing solely on the objective of winning the war. This video provides a thought-provoking exploration of the decision-making process behind the atomic bombings, shedding light on a complex and controversial aspect of history. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of how historical events are shaped, remembered & discussed. Looking for high-quality, stylish clothing that's both comfortable & durable?
