Crossing the long river of history, exploring the fog, how many things in ancient and modern times, are all in laughter. Hello everyone, welcome to my article:
We all know that after the end of World War II, the world's first large-scale multinational war was the Korean War, in which all the world's major powers were directly or indirectly involved. The three-year battle was not only brutal but also bloody, and many foreigners were killed on the Korean Peninsula, including the vast number of patriotic soldiers of our volunteer army. It can be said that after the war, our country did not gain any benefits, and paid for the lives of many volunteer soldiers.
Even the United States kept shaking its head, shaking its head, and shaking its head again when it re-examined this unwinnable war after the war. Because the United States not only consumed a lot of material and financial resources in this war, but also lost a lot of manpower. Those Americans who have sons and husbands fighting in Korea are very tired of this meaningless war, and the taxpayers are firmly opposed to continuing to fight, it can be said that the United States has not made any advantage militarily or politically, and it is obvious that this is a nest war.
And south Korea and north Korea, as the current countries, have not picked up any bargains, so the main war-related parties and countries involved in China and the United States have not obtained absolute benefits, so who has earned the benefits?
In fact, the question is very simple, the country that has earned the most benefits is Japan, why do you say so?
First: Japan in the Korean War quickly got rid of the state occupied by the US military and returned to a sovereign state
After the end of World War II, Japan was occupied by the United States, and as a victorious power, the United States originally envisioned occupying Japan for 20 years and vigorously suppressing Japan as punishment for waging war. At the same time, it was strictly reformed for demilitarization and democratization, so that it could abolish its martial arts, could not possess weapons of mass destruction offensive, and had the right to use force in foreign wars. It can be said that this hand of the United States is extremely hateful for a sovereign country to cut off its arm, but it is also extremely painful for those countries that have been oppressed and occupied by Japan, because this is Japan's self-inflicted blame.
However, with the outbreak of the Korean War and the increasingly serious confrontation between the East and the West, the United States promptly adjusted its policy toward Japan to conform to the global strategy of the United States, and Japan's importance to the United States in East Asia has gradually increased. MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, once said bluntly: "Japan's presence has become a front-line base for safeguarding the rights and interests of the United States and even Britain in the Far East, and a fortress for soviet forces to move east and south." Therefore, it has become a historical necessity for the United States to "loosen its shackles" and enhance Japan's international status and make it a normal country again, and it is also in the interests of the United States.
Second, Japan has become a logistics supply base for the United States, and the economy and military have been rapidly revived
After the end of World War II, the United States began a lot of disarmament, and even when the situation in Korea became increasingly tense, it still dismantled a lot of the Eighth Army stationed at home and in Japan. After the war, in order to cope with the lack of logistics, the United States directly ordered goods in Japan, from arms and materials to small lunch boxes for soldiers, and even the officers and men of the Turkish Brigade who did not eat pork in the United Nations Army, their halal food was also urgently purchased in Japan by the US logistics department.
At the same time, as the largest "arsenal" of the United States overseas, Japan has played the advantage of a good military industrial foundation and provided a large number of weapons and ammunition for the US military and even the UN army. In 1950, the United States purchased mostly military materials in Japan, mostly trucks, the following year mostly spare parts for various automobiles and weapons, and the third year was the direct procurement of various types of weapons. This change in procurement illustrates the growing trust and dependence of the United States on Japan. After all, among the neighboring countries in East Asia, only Japan has the closest geographical distance, the easiest control, and the most suitable for the production of military supplies. The United States could only choose Japan for the sake of victory in the war, which also allowed Japan's military industry to recover.
Politically, Japan and the United States reached a one-sided peace agreement, not only sending demining troops to help the United Nations army carry out its tasks in the coastal areas of the Korean Peninsula, but also improving its international status, getting rid of the "hat" of the defeated countries, and integrating into Western society again.
It can be said that the order of the United States has brought great benefits to Japan, because after the end of World War II, Japan has been bombed by the United States, full of ruins, many factories can not be maintained, and the economy is in a state of collapse. At the same time, the food crisis, shortage of materials, inflation, soaring prices, unemployment, and stagnant production all plagued the Japanese post-war government.
Summary: In the Korean War, China, the United States, South Korea, North Korea and European Britain, France and other countries fought inexorably, but in the end did not get any good results, although South Korea and North Korea have established the country, but they are the parties to the war, all the artillery fire is tilted on the territory of both sides, most of the cities are baptized by the war, their losses can be imagined.
With the outbreak of the Korean War, a large number of orders from the United States injected a "cardiotonic agent" into Japan's collapsed economy, and the Japanese economy underwent subversive changes. Japan took the opportunity to rise again, and the economic development of the 1950s made Japan a world economic power again in the late 1960s.
Many Japanese economists and politicians recall this history with endless emotion: without the Korean War in the early 50s, Japan's fate would have been unimaginable, and it would never have re-integrated into the international community in the mid-1950s, nor would it have become a world economic power in the 60s. So Japan was the country that benefited the most in the Korean War, even surpassing the Soviet Union. Welcome to leave a message to discuss, like to like the collection, there will be more about the new China after the establishment of the first time to fight abroad story update, and is a continuous update Oh.
Why did North Korea fight South Korea, and why did the whole army collapse before the imminent victory, which was only a disaster caused by the Inchon landing?
Why was the U.S. landing at Inchon initially opposed? But why it was finally realized, what is the reason
Why did China and the United States' first battle in Korea become a model for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to learn from?
