What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
During world war II, Japan formed a fascist alliance with Germany and Italy, launched the Second World War, which caused great damage to all countries in the world, the population of each country was sharply reduced, and the economic losses were countless. In World War II, Japan actually showed its good strength, launched the Pacific War, occupied Korea, attacked our hinterland, and fought with India, attacked Vietnam and Burma, fought on multiple fronts, and fought for many years.
When did the Japanese army start to get stronger? The answer began when the Meiji Restoration was completed, when the Western powers had completed the Second Industrial Revolution and were able to sail warships out to sea, and when they came to us, they found that the Great Qing Dynasty was still a feudal country, and they looked very strong but weak and did not want it, so they opened our country with a strong ship cannon, and it was cut land and indemnity.
Japan was also invaded at this time, but people in Japan know how to learn, who is strong learn from whom, and know how to serve softly. When we were the Tang Dynasty, Japan often sent people to study in the Tang Dynasty and then went back to help Japan with construction. Similarly, this time when he was beaten by the Western powers, he followed the West to learn, which led to the Meiji Restoration. After half a century of development, the Japanese army and we started the Sino-Japanese War, and suddenly defeated the Qing Dynasty, and now Japan knows that we are a bully, and the next things will come.
On the eve of the outbreak of World War II, the industrial strength of the Japanese army was very strong, and it was able to produce more than 300 tanks and more than 200 fighters a year, basically one aircraft tank a day, not to mention rifle bullets, which was fully able to meet the needs of the army. This was the courage to fight world war II, so he imported 100 large bombers from Italy and began to fight.
However, Japan's land is limited, oil, coal, cotton, grain are urgently in short supply, so what to do? First occupied my rich three eastern provinces, grain, cotton, coal were solved, providing a powerful boost to Japan's aggression! In order not to let history repeat itself and prevent the restoration of militarism, we must strengthen our army building and strengthen our national strength so that we can enjoy long-term peace and stability!
