In 1945, the Japanese chose to surrender to the Soviet Union unconditionally, because at that time the Japanese had no ability to continue to fight the Soviet Union, only surrender was the king, but what was surprising was that since the Japanese surrendered, why did Stalin send troops to choose to occupy the Kuril Islands?
In the early hours of the third day after Japan's surrender, Stalin suddenly ordered the Soviet Union to take the Kuril Islands in Haikou as soon as possible, and although they exchanged the islands at the Yalta Conference as a quid pro quo for a confrontation with the Soviet Union against Japan, they never arrived. Therefore, Stalin could only solve it himself, but the way to solve it was a little bad, and the Soviet Union had already obtained the Kuril Islands the day before Japan signed it, but Stalin directly ordered the troops to quickly enter Hokkaido, Japan, and also sent people to contact the supreme commander of the Japanese allies.
In fact, Stalin's approach also has profound strategic considerations, after the end of World War II, Japan was originally occupied by the main anti-fascist countries like Germany, but because the United States was behind it, Japan was eventually controlled by the United States, but the Soviet Union was still able to control the islands on the North Pacific coast away from the Japanese archipelago, which made Japan and the United States feel dangerous.
If the island can be deployed militarily, it can pose a military threat to the United States and Japan, and once the actual military conflict is found, it can springboard to seize the North Sea Island, so it successfully resisted the first line of defense of the United States and Japan, but the United States and Japan attacked at sea, in order to prevent the first round of attacks on the Russian Pacific coastal area, it was seriously hit.
However, this island actually has a very rich fish industry in the sea, because this island is located in the Pacific Ocean, just close to the cold and warm currents, so it is also a good place, which is why Stalin must go early to occupy only a piece of island, I don't know what everyone thinks about this matter?
