After the Meiji Restoration, Japan was renewed and its national strength was greatly expanded. The expansion of national power has also fueled Japan's ambitions. During World War II, Japan's elite troops would vigorously attack neighboring countries, but due to Japan's own lack of national land and resources, the long-term war of attrition made it difficult for Japan to continue, so Japan set its sights on the United States, opened its army, and mobilized aircraft carriers to sneak attack Pearl Harbor. But japan's operation brought them ruin, and the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, reducing the two to rubble and hastening Japan's defeat. In the process of signing the post-war agreement, Japan ostensibly chose unconditional surrender, but in fact put forward three conditions.
The first is to pardon the Emperor of Japan. Although the Japanese emperor did not have real power, he was the object of the entire Japanese nation's frenzied worship at that time. The appeal of the Japanese emperor can be described as a resounding response, as long as the emperor holds a speech, the Japanese people will fall into madness, very inflammatory. This condition alone has left hope for Japan to boost morale again, but this condition has seriously provoked the bottom line of the anti-fascist alliance around the world.
Second, Japan demanded that the war criminals of World War II be handed over to Japan for its own handling, and said that Japan would definitely give these war criminals severe punishments, but in fact, Japan not only did not punish them, but after the return of this group of Class A criminals, the Japanese people regarded them as heroes. Under the leadership of the Emperor, the ability of the Japanese nation to reverse black and white can be said to be pure fire. The most unacceptable thing is that after the death of Class A criminals, the government also offered their spiritual seats to the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan.
Japan's third condition is that no country other than the US military will not allow the stationing of troops in Japan. The tragic defeat of Germany was seen by Japan, which was bent on reducing its losses and had to open its ports to the United States. Japan's request mentions the heart of the United States, which was promoting its own hegemonism at that time, coupled with Japan's flattery, and readily agreed.
The United States agreed to Japan's three conditions for its own benefit, regardless of the other countries that were harmed in World War II, which is undoubtedly shameful. Germany, also a defeated country, constantly reflected on its own behavior and went to Auschwitz to observe silence, while Japan, with the connivance of the United States, openly visited the Yasukuni Shrine with the plaque of Class A war criminals, challenging the bottom line of various countries. Japan has always refused to admit its acts of aggression, and even delusionally wants to "revive the empire", but this can only be a fool's dream! The world situation has long been different, and Japan has paid a terrible price under the surveillance of the United States.
