In 1900, the Boxers were "making a fist fight" with the goal of helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners, which touched the interests of foreigners.
In May, the British formed an alliance with the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, and Austria-Hungary to launch an armed invasion of the Qing Dynasty. The foreigners nominally helped the Qing Dynasty suppress the Boxers, but in fact wanted to divide the Qing Dynasty.
This was followed by an extremely humiliating period of modern history. After the end of the war, the Eight Columns forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Treaty of Xinugu, and from then on the Qing Dynasty entered the stage of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
The commander-in-chief of the Eight-Power Alliance was Wadesi of Germany, who led the foreigners to loot the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the most reparationed and the most ruthless war of aggression in history.
Just as the so-called "thirty years of Hedong, forty years of Hexi", 120 years after the eight-nation alliance invaded China, what kind of "foreign masters" who once flaunted their might on the land of China and even walked sideways?
01 Tsarist Russia perished
I don't know when it began, russians became a fighting nation in the eyes of the countrymen. As the ancestor of the fighting nation, Tsarist Russia once showed no mercy to the Qing Dynasty, and the Treaty of Xinugu demanded that the Qing Dynasty pay 450 million taels of silver, and the proportion of fighting nations was the largest, as high as 28%.
Shortly after the end of the Eight-Power Alliance's invasion of China, the contradictions between Japan and Russia gradually escalated, and in order to compete for spheres of influence, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and the result was that Russia was defeated.
A few years later, the trigger of World War I was triggered by the February Revolution in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II announced his abdication, and Tsarist Russia was destroyed.
02 Austro-Hungarian disintegration
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was also the hegemon of the European continent. It was reorganized from the 1867 Austrian-Hungarian Compromise, in which Austria, fearing that Hungary would break away from itself, "suggested" that the two be merged into one.
After the fuse in Sarajevo was ignited, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire did not expect to take the wrong side, its camp lost a mess, and the member states suddenly lost confidence in the "Austro-Hungarian" and broke away from the Austro-Hungarian system.
Just after the end of the First World War, Austria-Hungary disintegrated.
03 Declining France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Britain and the United States
Germany, as the initiator of two world wars, ended in two crushing defeats, facing not only high war reparations, but also receiving severe military sanctions.
Knowing that they are not welcomed by the international community, they simply and honestly build cars behind closed doors, and the machinery manufacturing industry has developed well.
France not only suffered heavy losses in World War II, but even the country died, and the whole country fell into ruins, from a former Western European tycoon to a second-rate country.
The situation in England is similar to that of France, the only difference being that there is no subjugation. Saying that there is no subjugation of the country is no different from the subjugation of the country. After World War II, it was relatively low-key.
Japan should not be underestimated, and since the Meiji Restoration, it has developed quite well. It always feels like it is a Western country and refuses to recognize itself as an Eastern country.
Japan was a war-obsessed country that did not catch the train of World War I, but took the flight of World War II. Bai Mi chose to form an alliance with Germany, invaded China, and actually became interested in the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and accidentally blew up people's Pearl Harbor.
In the end, two atomic bombs were eaten before they stopped.
The United States is born in a good place. Mankind suffered two wars and basically did not injure it. By selling weapons on both sides, a large amount of wealth was quickly accumulated.
For half a century, he has been presenting himself as a Western speaker. Since the beginning of the new century, along with economic globalization, the influence of the United States has not been as great as before.
Italy, needless to say. In the world war, the task of dismantling the enemy from within was brilliantly completed.
