This documentary takes you inside the Attack on Pearl Harbor, exploring the unprovoked Japanese assault on December 7th, 1941. Discover the key decisions, personal accounts, and military blunders that led to this historic day. We then follow the full story of the Pacific War, from the island-hopping campaigns of Iwo Jima and Okinawa to the devastating atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which finally forced Japan's surrender and ended World War II.

Chinese memory is about being humiliated.
'The 1842 Treaty of Nanking ended the First Opium War, forcing China to open five "treaty ports"—Canton (Guangzhou), Amoy (Xiamen), Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai—to British trade, ceding Hong Kong, and granting significant economic and legal privileges, establishing the unequal treaty system that defined China's foreign relations for a century.'

A war for opium, good grief!

'The Chinese flag features a large yellow star and four smaller yellow stars on a red background, symbolizing the unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party (big star) and the four social classes (workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie, patriotic capitalists) that support it'.

Capitalists made money at their peril, you see. The peasants smashed them in 1949. Xi is a capitalist. A communist. A peasant who is rich. A star. Yellow.

'From 1939, the US became the "arsenal of democracy" and the Lend-Lease Act (1941) provided vast supplies and even traded old destroyers for UK bases.'
