Seven of the eight-nation coalition countries have demanded the partition of China, so why does this country resolutely disagree?
We all know that after the Opium War, after this war, a history of humiliation began on Chinese soil. At that time, seven of the eight-nation alliance were eager to divide China, but which of them was firmly opposed?
At that time, the Eight-Power Alliance was very despicable, and they actually used to help China suppress the Boxer Rebellion at that time to send troops to split and plunder China. In August 1900, the Eight-Power Coalition occupied the city of Beijing. At the time, seven of the eight countries demanded the division of China, including Britain, Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Japan. But the only disagreement is the United States.
In fact, the main reason why the United States disagrees is very simple and clear, because it is not in its own interest. After all, Britain, Germany, and Russia were the strongest of the Eight-Nation Alliance at the time. They will certainly occupy the best three parts, while other countries can only occupy the worse part.
So all of this is actually driven by interests, you know, once formally divided, then there will be a much larger resistance activity, so much so that throwing, for the most part, will delay the best time to get rich, but also pay huge casualties and losses.
So, in fact, this is also a small calculation done by the United States itself. In fact, there are many contradictions between the Eight-Power Alliance. Japan sent more than 20,000 people, Britain and Russia more than 10,000, the United States and France more than 3,000, Germany, Austria and Hungary, and Italy at least less than 100 people.
In terms of the number of troops alone, Japan, Russia and Britain had relatively large attempts at that time. At that time, Russia even sent troops to occupy the northeast.
In fact, at that time, other countries also had their own small calculations, whether they were opposed or supported, in fact, for more benefits.
We only need to understand that the countries that waged wars against China in those years, whether at that time or in modern times, actually had the main purpose of making peace with China for their own interests. In the face of these countries, from the moment they started the war, they did not have sympathy for China. For example, the topic we are talking about today is still for the sake of profit.
Whether it is from the territorial aspect or the money, they are eager to divide it up from China. We should always be vigilant and not let the tragedy of history repeat itself. The ultimate result of backward countries is aggression by other powers, which is due to history. Therefore, we must always remind ourselves to contribute to China's progress, at least not to drag the hind legs of society.
In every war, the people suffer from the bullying of the country, let alone the soldiers fighting on the front line. We cannot forget the tribulations of our predecessors as long as we remember them.
