From the perspective of world history, war always brings the greatest damage, so ancient China has always been very cautious about war, emphasizing less war, avoiding war, and not fighting without fighting. In particular, the two modern world wars have caused great damage and casualties to the world, making the economic damage serious. In this regard, our country was also greatly damaged at that time, and the country suffered heavy losses. But everything has its two sides, and the same is true of the world war, the two world wars brought great damage at the same time, but also achieved China, so that China re-embarked on the road to rise, that is to say, if there were no two world wars, there would be no rise of China today. The reason is mainly three points.
Now when it comes to the two world wars, in fact, the first thing that comes to mind is destruction and cruelty. Especially the Damage Caused to Our Country by World War II was also extremely intense. The entire eastern part of our country has almost fallen, the entire population has lost more than 20 million, and the national economy has also suffered huge losses, and it can be said that the damage is not lighter than that of other countries.
And especially the invasion and killing of neighboring Japan, the nation reached the most dangerous moment, facing the risk of the country's complete destruction. But despite this, it has to be admitted that it was the two world wars that saved China and caused China to rise again. Why? In fact, the reasons are mainly three points.
First, the weakening of the West.
Without the two world wars, at the rate of development of the West at that time, it would only be more powerful and more aggressive. Once this is the case, the gap between our country and the West will become wider and wider, then our country may eventually become a colony like India and other countries, and at that time, it will really be the day of the slaves of the country. In the two world wars, while our country has lost, in fact, it is more the Western powers themselves and their own fire and mutual consumption.
After the most typical World War I, the national strength of Western countries was greatly weakened, and finally the West was unable to increase aggression against our country after the war, so that our country gained a breathing space during this period, and the entire country developed rapidly. World War II was the biggest internal fire in the West, directly fought for 8 years, the Western countries completely declined, and after the war, they no longer had the ability to invade China. Therefore, in the two major wars, the West was weakened to the point that it could not launch aggression against our country, which actually saved China.
Second, the country moves towards unity.
At that time, the biggest problem in China was the disunity in the country, especially the warlords and warlords, the people did not have a good life, and the internal strife was endless. If there is no great external threat, this kind of warlord melee will not be fought for decades or even hundreds of years. It is precisely because of the two world wars that our people feel the great danger of national subjugation and the crisis of national survival, so that under the extreme external threat, the country began to move toward unity.
The history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years proves that as long as the Chinese begins to unite, then it is the beginning of its rise, and no force can stop our country, which is also given to our country by the two world wars. In particular, in the face of Japan's invasion, it has further stimulated national self-esteem and national unity, and is the beginning of China's rise.
Third, the military gap has been narrowed.
China's weakness in modern times is also related to the weakness of China's military strength, and it is difficult to enhance military capability. For our country, the two world wars have not only made great progress in tactics. Moreover, in the war, the core tactics such as guerrilla warfare were creatively invented, so that China could quickly enhance its military strength after the war and quickly become stronger.
The destruction of the country by the two world wars and the killing of the people have made the people cherish the time of peace more, be more industrious and brave, and maintain the strength of the country, which can be said to be the key. So without two world wars, our national humiliation would have lasted at least half a century. It is precisely the two world wars that saved China and made our country re-embark on the road of rise, and only then did it have its current strong national strength.
