Bro are you implying that The Pacific is better than Band of Brothers? Because if you are, you are a fucking idiot.

Both are good - even though Malek's overacting made parts of The Pacific damn near unwatchable - Band of Brothers is the best mini series ever on televison.

No, I agree that BOB is gold standard. Some idiots dislike Pacific but they really are objecting to the nature of the war. European theater was a cakewalk for the US/UK since Soviets sacrificed millions and the D-team Nazis were left on the western front.

I mean, cakewalk is a bit of a stretch, but I do agree The Pacific was very good and the war in that theater was by far more brutal for the US.

It was 3 things: 1) Modernization/Industrialization; 2) the realization that the country would need to conquer other countries in order to gain resources to feed its quickly growing population; and 3) The League of Nation's clear racism in denying China and Japan's efforts to be treated equally by that body.

it had 30 million people in 1800, on par with france and bigger than what became germany (~23m people) and UK (~15 million people) in 1800. pretty decent sized landmass even if lacking lots of natural resources, relatively high human capital (had a literacy rate of 50% right before Meiji Restoration), and relatively homogeneous population that was used to living under a unified national entity under the tokugawa shogunate for centuries.

would've been puzzling if they didn't industrialize and modernize after seeing how quickly china was getting pwned by west

Band is better as it's a narrative heroic ark of one core group of soldiers. Damian Lewis carries the story just as the Capt Winters carried the men through Europe.

Pacific is three separate narratives but visually 10X better. The sheer horror of rooting out japs rock to rock; the CGI deployed for the Battle of Savo Island, Peleliu and Okinawa are displayed amazingly. John Bazelon provides somewhat of the hero, but like all the protagonists he is very human
