Since its birth, Chinese civilization has been the core of the Asian region. From ancient times to the present, China has dominated the Asian region for thousands of years. From the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, China's position in Asia was basically unbreakable, and many of the surrounding countries were vassals of China. In addition to paying tribute to Chenna, these countries often sent emissaries to China to learn more advanced cultural knowledge.
Especially during the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Central Plains was revered by neighboring countries as the Heavenly Khan, and even when he came to Japan across the sea, he often sent people to China to study. Judging from the culture and customs of Japan, the Chinese elements are quite strong. Some people believe that Japan was able to develop its own civilization mainly because it learned knowledge and technology from china.
However, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. When China was strong, the emissaries sent by Japan were low and did not dare to act in any rebellion. Later, when China was invaded by other countries because of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, Japan, which had developed one step ahead of the other countries, soon launched an attack on China. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese aggressor Lion opened his mouth and forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Maguan, which humiliated the country.
In the 1930s, in order to gain more benefits and resources, Japan launched a notorious war of aggression against China. During this period, the ambitious Japanese invaders, in order to better plunder the people's wealth and obtain more resources, found the last emperor Puyi and established a puppet Manchurian regime. This is the only "national China" in modern China, and it has been recognized by 23 countries. Some people believe that this country, which was illegally established by the Japanese aggressors, can be said to be one of the greatest humiliations in Chinese history. It is worth mentioning that although these 23 countries recognized the status of puppet Manchukuo, they did not fundamentally change the nature of puppet Manchukuo.
The United States and other world powers have largely failed to recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo and still see it as part of China. As the war continued, the Japanese invaders became more and more passive. After more than ten years of arduous resistance, Japan was finally forced to announce the news of unconditional surrender because it was cornered. The puppet state of Manchukuo also completely collapsed because of the loss of a patron, and Puyi, who had served as a puppet emperor, also became an important witness in the identification of Japanese war criminals.
