Hey all! As you might have seen, we are trying some new titles to try to attract new viewers. We want you to hep us pick the title for this one, but I'll come back to that in a sec. We want to reach new viewers as we feel like there's a lot of people who are potentially interested in our content, but don't know about our videos. Our Patreon growth has a 1:1 relation with our subscriber growth, so it IS important for us to grow our viewers/subscribers. Now, YouTube emphasises Thumbnail/Title combination when it comes to recommendations - they have to be noticed and clicked. However, we don't want to engage in clickbaity title, but we see that purely descriptive titles are not working either. So we have find a fine balance.

How can you help us? I will make a Patreon poll with three title suggestions. Please vote for the title that appeals to you the most, and that you are most likely to click when its recommended to you on YouTUbe.

For your information: We are doing really well! Our subscribers on all channels have increased tremendously over the summer, and while the budget is still very tight, we are closing in on our goals to make this production feasible, at which point we can think about more roadtrips/specials. As I said, we'd like to expand our viewership a little. So fill in the poll, share TimeGhost and World War Two with your friends, family and colleagues. You are the greatest community in the world of History! Thank you all!

Cheers,
Joram

Please tell me that we are getting 1-2 episodes for 1934 on China. This video had a huge omission talking about the Washington Naval Conference. Japan had taken Shandong from the Germans at the end of WW1 due to a secret treaty between them, France, and Britain. China was upset because China had also joined the allies and sent over 100,000 people to Europe and they expected to get German Shandong back. The Americans were pissed about this as well. China and the US were the two victorious allies not to sign the Versailles treaty. Though most high school histories solely blame the US decision not to sign on the Senate being unwilling to join the League of Nations, if you look at the newspapers at the time, the US was also very upset about "The Shandong problem" and how Britain and France had sold out China. (Not really appreciated nowadays is how much of US policy towards China in the early 20th century was dominated by Christian missionary interests who saw China as 450 million Christians waiting to happen.) Anyways, I was very surprised that this video didn't mention that the US forced Japan to give Shandong back to China at the Washington Naval Conference. Which was one of the first steps to Japan not wanting to be a part of the post war peace system. Also, in the neutrality act bit, you didn't mention that Japan and China's lack of a war declaration was governed very much by not wanting to fall foul of the Neutrality acts. It's stated in the video that Japan is "exempted from the Cash and Carry system" because they haven't declared war. That phrasing makes it seem like the US wasn't exporting things like food or oil to Japan, which isn't true. Japan was importing oil from the US all through the 1930's with no problems.

During the Washington conference the American negotiators had access to the encrypted telegrams between Tokoy and the Japanese negotiators. This of course gave the Americans an advantage, something an American cryptographer Herbert O. Yardley later releaved in his book "The American black chamber". This of course had a great impact on Japanese naval policies for the rest of the interwar period.
