In the last century, the Fascist Axis Alliance, with Japan, Germany and Italy at its core, launched an all-out war of aggression against all countries in the world, and World War II officially broke out under the all-out offensive of the fascist countries. It was not until Japan surrendered in 1945 that World War II, which lasted nearly six years, ended. Japan was the most powerful fascist country in Asia during World War II, and before the start of World War II, Japan launched a war of aggression against neighboring countries, when Japan fell into a long-term war of attrition on the Chinese battlefield, because the resources of the Japanese mainland were seriously insufficient, so in order to bear the consumption on the Chinese battlefield, Japan had to wage wars against other countries in order to plunder resources.
Japan once occupied the western part of the Pacific, but at that time Japan still did not fully control the western Pacific region, and was still in a fierce battle with other countries, but in this case, Japan sneaked into Pearl Harbor in the United States, such a crazy move made Churchill and Hitler's family happy and sad. So why did Japan sneak up on Pearl Harbor?
In fact, when Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China, the United States protested against Japan, and when Japan and Germany formed an alliance, the United States imposed sanctions on Japan, and as the war expanded, the United States directly cut off the supply of strategic resources to Japan.
Without the supply of resources, the war will bring more pressure to Japan, and with Japan's expansion in the Pacific, Japan feels that the United States will become its greatest enemy in the future, so Japan intends to destroy the United States Pacific Fleet by sneaking attack on Pearl Harbor, thus depriving the United States of the ability to fight japan.
Before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there were also opposition voices at the top of the government, but most of the Japanese top brass had fallen into a state of war fanaticism, believing that as long as the Us Pacific Fleet could be destroyed, then the United States would no longer be Japan's opponent in the Pacific, so Japan, which loved to gamble on national fortunes, once again made a big gamble.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was actually quite successful on the surface, and many cruisers and battleships of the Pacific Fleet were sunk, but at that time, the aircraft carriers of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were all out of training, so the Japanese did not sink an aircraft carrier, and after the Pearl Harbor incident, the U.S. army began to counterattack.
Through the Battle of Midway, most of the Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk, and the US military grasped the initiative in the Pacific theater, and the Japanese army was gradually defeated under the island-hopping strategy. In the late stages of World War II, the United States retaliated against the Japanese homeland, and the Japanese army paid the price for its actions.
In World War II, the number of chinese and Soviet deaths alone was close to 100 million, and many of them were killed by the invaders in the massacre, when the Japanese army created countless incidents such as the Nanjing Massacre on Chinese soil, and so far Chinese dare not forget the war crimes committed by the Japanese army.
There is a dark side in the depths of human human nature, and in war such a dark side is infinitely magnified, human civilization is trampled on in war, and those who launch aggression have long lost their humanity and become beasts on the battlefield.
