As we all know, in ancient China, whether in terms of scientific and technological development or cultural system, it far surpassed other countries in the world, so some countries around China at that time learned from China. However, with the passage of time, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the corruption and incompetence of the rulers, some Western powers took the opportunity to break into China, they were like robbers, plundering wealth and resources everywhere, and the Qing government at this time, after several defeats, was helpless to sign a series of unequal treaties. And today Xiaobian wants to tell you about this background, when an American general came to China as an observer, and finally came to a very prejudicial conclusion: "Neither China nor Russia will pose a threat to the world, but only this country is the most terrible."
In order to divide this tempting "big cake", even Japan began to gradually put its eyes on China, to know that ancient Japan, has always been to learn from China, but after the Meiji Restoration, Japan's development has been greatly improved, so when Japan tasted some sweetness in China, its appetite is also getting bigger and bigger, and later in order to compete for the interests of northeast China, Japan also fought a war with Tsarist Russia in 1904.
When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in China, there was a man named Douglas. MacArthur's Americans came to northeast China with his father, and everyone knows that Douglas. MacArthur later became a famous five-star general in the United States, while at this time he was only a small captain officer. After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, MacArthur chose to stay in the northeast region and do more in-depth field investigations, during which MacArthur also personally visited the Japanese military bases at that time, in addition, he also went to Southeast Asian countries for field investigations, so it took MacArthur only 8 months to analyze the situation in Asia very thoroughly.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of MacArthur's investigation, he found that the Japanese army at that time was very crazy, and in the face of war, the Japanese army often had a gambling mentality, in order to achieve its own goals, it can be said that it is not hesitant to use all means, and its retaliation is extremely strong. It was through these careful observations that MacArthur finally uttered such a prejudging remark: "In the future, China and Russia will not pose a threat to the world, and the strong rise of Japan will also be a great threat to the United States in the future." ”
His father also said that he could not believe what MacArthur said, but after time has proved, MacArthur's conclusion is undoubtedly convincing. Because later Japan not only won the war against russia, a powerful country, but also became the source of Asia in World War II, with the continuous expansion of its ambitions, Japan even launched a Pacific War and directly declared war on the United States, and the United States initially suffered the losses of little Japan.
However, for the unjust war waged by Japan, the outcome of its defeat was doomed from the beginning, but the cost of winning the war was too great!
