The Real Last Samurai - Stuff That I Find Interesting

The video explores the history of the last samurai, who was actually a Frenchman involved in the French intervention in Mexico before advising the Shogun in Japan. He joined the samurai in Hokkaido, forming the Republic of Ezo. Contrary to the movie portrayal, he was not spiritual and embraced modern warfare. After Ezo's fall, he returned to France, rejoined the army, and participated in the suppression of the Paris Commune. The video also discusses the samurai's acceptance of guns and their stance on modernization.
