Emperor Hirohito was an emperor in Japan's modern history, the grandson of Emperor Meiji, who succeeded to the throne at a very young age, and after his succession, the world was just unremarkable like the outside world to publicize his ascension to the throne, to publicize that he was an ambitious young man, and that he was an expert in biology. But what the world does not know is that the seemingly Sven Emperor, under his protection and instruction, transformed the country from the previous upward movement into a radical, and then slowly molded this militaristic nation into a dictatorial and terrifying monster with the military state as its main idea.
When he first ascended the throne, there was an ancient power in his young body, which came from his grandfather, the Meiji Emperor. According to historical records, Meiji liked his grandson very much, and when he was a child, he gave him a wooden war horse as a gift, and at that time, Grandpa's heart may have wanted to pass on his own ideas, the great power that wanted to expand as a means, to his grandson through himself. It should be known that Emperor Meiji's son, that is, Emperor Hirohito's father, is a weak and sick person, and as an emperor known for his military strength, of course, he does not like his own weak son, and Hirohito's birth is tantamount to bringing hope to the old emperor and to the country, so Meiji naturally likes this grandson incomparably.
After Hirohito succeeded to the throne, he first went to Europe to study, where he experienced the charm of European civilization, and later he also visited the various Japanese military attaches in Europe one by one, hoping to draw himself closer to them, and these military attaches all had a common characteristic, this characteristic is that they are all young people, so young people naturally have the most topic of conversation with young people, they have a lot of fun, the young emperor not only asked about their current situation, but also exchanged ideas with them.
When the young emperor traveled in Europe, he did a very intriguing thing, that is, when he was in France, he asked people to buy a "bust of Napoleon".
Everyone knows that Napoleon was the "god of war" in Europe, who swept across the European continent in his lifetime, and the France and Japan that Napoleon saved at that time were in a period of weakness, so in this period, what the young emperor did was very intriguing, which was also considered to be a major precursor to the young emperor's later connivance at the Japanese army base camp to invade China.
Emperor after Japan's defeat
With the defeat of the army, with the heavy blow of the United States, Japan had to surrender, the emperor was no longer young, and his empire quickly fell after a period of prosperity, becoming a mirage.
The emperor was well aware that it would be wise for him to surrender to the Americans at this time, and under Hirohito's contemplation, he finally announced the surrender on the national radio.
Later, under his own series of operations, Emperor Hirohito first made Hideki Tojo bear the guilt, and then escaped the crime of starting a war under the strong cover of the military department. In fact, the emperor was also the commander-in-chief of the United States at that time. That is, the famous Mai Shuai.
So after Japan surrendered, the emperor escaped the final judgment and the punishment of the war. After the war, although the power of the Japanese army was limited and the power of the emperor was suspended by the constitution, the japanese emperor system still existed, which shows that the culprit who once started the war finally escaped a series of responsibilities and continued to serve as the leader of a country without incident.
In my opinion, this is disrespectful to the countless souls who died under the guns of the Japanese Kou, and at the same time, it is also a lack of attention to history. But in any case, the emperor escaped the final judgment and spent his old age peacefully, which was fortunate for himself, but unfortunate for the lives swallowed up by this war.
