The second world war, the cruelty of this war is self-evident, which is also a history that many people and many countries can hardly forget, as the scar makers of Germany and Japan made after the war, let the world see who deserves to be forgiven, who can not be forgiven.
After the war, many of Germany's measures were changing the world's perception of it, letting the world know that the country was changing, that he was already aware of the crimes he had committed, and that he really wanted to reform himself. In 1971, German Chancellor Brandt visited Poland, and it was surprising that the leader of a country took the initiative to kneel at the Jewish monument and express repentance, and it was this kneeling that made the Jews begin to understand him and understand the country. At that time, there were even media comments: Brandt fell to his knees, but the German people stood up!
In fact, Brandt only made a start, so that the world, especially Europeans, began to change the way of thinking about Germany. A similar situation happened again at the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the giant Polish World War II. At that time, Polish President Duda and German President Steinmeier appeared at the same time, and Deutsche Welle reported on the scene of the day, which wrote: Steinmeier spoke in German and Polish, hoping to get Polish forgiveness.
In World War II, more than 50 million people lost their lives, and of those 6 million Jews. Why did Germany have to demand Poland's forgiveness? Because Poland was one of the most devastated countries in World War II, the total population of Poland at that time was about 3 million people, and the war took one-fifth of people's lives, which is why Germany has been apologizing to Poland since the 1970s and expressing its willingness to make some compensation. In fact, there was another executioner in World War II, that is, Japan, when looking back on World War II, it is natural to compare Japan and Germany, why can Germany get the forgiveness of European countries that have hurt, while Japan is difficult to get forgiveness from Asian countries?
This is actually not very accurate, after all, not all countries will officially state that they forgive Germany or France, saying that the forgiveness for Germany is mainly from the people, when everyone mentions Germany and Japan, combined with their impressions and deeds, everyone is more willing to try to forgive Germany, as for why it is difficult to forgive Japan, look at their behavior. At present, Japan's right-wing forces still have a lot of support in Japan, which means that many Japanese people are supporting the acts of aggression in World War II, in fact, this should also be the meaning of the Japanese government, after all, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the Japanese government itself does not face the past and history, it has not corrected the wrong concept but continues to guide the people in this way, to know that the best way to resolve hatred is first of all to realize the mistake and sincerely repent!
Of course, not all Japanese people are like this, and even the Japanese leadership has realized the mistake, but it is always overthrown by later generations, this capriciousness makes us more and more bored, only feel that the country has no sincerity at all, in this regard, Germany gives people a good impression, as long as Japan can not do like Germany, it is difficult to be like the surrounding countries, that period of history is always difficult to turn the page.
