What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
After the Second World War, the territory of some countries changed again, North Korea was restored to become two countries, North Korea and South Korea, and Germany was also divided into the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany, which we all know.
In fact, Japan, which was defeated and surrendered, was almost occupied by the Allied military blocks, and if it were not for the desperate opposition of an old power, it might have split into several pieces...
After the war, all members of the Allied Powers sent troops to garrison Japan. The first is the United States, which is wreaking havoc in Japan, bullying Japanese women and abusing Japanese men. Although it is a little too much, but think of the atrocities committed by the Japanese on the battlefields of Southeast Asia, as the initiator of the war, finally taste the taste of defeat.
After all, Japan is a capitalist power, although it is devastated because of the war, but the foundation is still there, and in the minds of the European powers, it is still a delicious piece of fat.
In addition to the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia are also eager to try Japan. The three kingdoms all wanted to maximize their benefits in Japan. In fact, in the eyes of the Americans, the defeated Japan was not honest, so he invited Britain and Australia to come together to deal with the Japanese.
However, things always turn out so unexpectedly...
In August 1945, less than two minutes after the war had begun, Japan announced its surrender. By this time, Germany had surrendered, and Britain had no worries and was preparing to transfer all its elite to the Far East to fight against Japan.
Before this, the British basically lost more than they won against the Japanese army in their heyday, and now it is still okay to bully Japan, which is at the end of its rope.
The British's wishful thinking is this: symbolically fight with Japan, Japan is almost about to surrender, and then it is logical that they can make a fortune on Japan as a victorious country.
The result was that Japan surrendered so quickly. This made Britain's plan come to naught in an instant.
Now that Japan has surrendered, but its own army has not achieved decent results, it is not justified to extort a little money from Japan.
Speaking of Britain, although it is ostensibly a victorious country, the country is already devastated, and it is preparing to take some money from Japan and subsidize its own treasury.
He was also forced to send the army to Japanese soil, and this time, he fully promoted his gentlemanly demeanor and invited Australia to join him in forcibly going to Japan to loot wealth. And ceded the position of commander to Australia. The intent is clear, to leave the guilt of the bad guys to Australia. Enjoy your own success without losing your gentlemanly demeanor.
Britain let Australia be cannon fodder and reap the benefits of the fishermen itself. But Americans aren't stupid either. Since it could not prevent the British from entering, it was proposed to proceed in order.
The so-called order was carried out in batches under the command of MacArthur, the commander of the United States in the Pacific, and the armies of various countries were stationed in Japan in batches. The British wanted Japanese port cities, but the Americans were not stupid, and had long since assigned these valuable places to themselves, and the British could only get some relatively poor places.
Over time, the British were also annoyed, Japan was originally a ruin of war, its own territory was even poorer, and it was necessary to paste it upside down if it could not be obtained at all, so it returned its territory to Japan and withdrew from the garrison.
Although the behavior of the British is based on the consideration of their own country, or ultimately helped Japan to avoid the fate of partition, although the Americans are the only one, but in the end they are embarrassed to start, after more than a decade, The Japanese economy has been revitalized and returned to the camp of capitalist powers.
