There is such an island, which is located in the northeast of Eurasia, which is a bitter cold land, which has belonged to China for hundreds of years.
However, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, it was forcibly seized by Russia with a series of improper means, and later Japan also got involved in it, and now it has become the largest island in Russia.
This land has a deep name, we call it Sakhalin Island, Russia calls it Sakhalin Island. The land is rich in natural resources, such as coal, natural gas, oil, etc. Perhaps huaibi is guilty, the island's rich resources have made it almost destroyed the island, and the island's indigenous people have also suffered a fatal blow.
Sakhalin Island covers an area of about 76,400 square kilometers and is a long strip of islands. The northern part of the island is flat, and there are many mountain ranges in the south, because of the coast, the island's seafood and aquatic resources are particularly rich, which is also the resources on which the people of the island depend for their survival.
Before the Qing Dynasty, the island belonged to our territory and has always paid tribute to our country. It was a quiet time of Sakhalin Island, and although it was not particularly wealthy, the people on the island also lived and worked in peace and contentment, calm and calm.
But at the end of the 18th century, the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government were gradually exposed, and the Qing Dynasty at that time became a soft persimmon, and anyone could come and pinch it.
By the time of the Opium War, the Qing government had almost completely lost control, and it was also weak and powerless against the invasion of the Powerful West, and could only be pressed down on the ground by the Western invaders and constantly rubbed.
By around 1860, under the pressure and continuous blows of Russia, the Qing government was gradually defeated and retreated, and in order to temporarily slow the pace of the invasion of the great powers, a series of unequal treaties were signed, including the Treaty of Yaohun and the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, which ceded more than 1 million square kilometers of land, including Sakhalin Island.
During the two Opium Wars, the Qing government signed many of these terms of loss of power and humiliation of the country, and the weaker it was, the more it was bullied, the more it was bullied, and the more it was bullied, the more it dared not fight back, which had formed a vicious circle in the Qing government at that time.
The Russians, who had acquired Sakhalin Island by improper means, began to build heavily on the island, and they increased their personnel input by transporting criminals, slaves, etc. to Sakhalin Island.
With the passage of time, the Russians found precious non-renewable resources such as oil and natural gas on the island, which was a valuable asset, so Russia continuously invested manpower and material resources on Sakhalin Island in an attempt to obtain greater gains.
Seeing that Russia has gained a lot of money, the ambitious Japanese are naturally unwilling, as a small island country, their own natural resources are relatively scarce, so they continue to expand through the means of war, trying to seize by force.
In 1904, war broke out between Japan and Russia, and Russia was defeated. So in 1905, Russia gave Japan half of the "ducks" it had in hand, using 50 degrees north latitude as the boundary, and gave the southern part of Sakhalin Island to Japan.
This kind of behavior of insulting others now seems to be despised by people, but in the eyes of the weak and incompetent Qing government at that time, as long as it did not cut the land and pay reparations, it was already Amitabha Buddha.
After Japan acquired half of Sakhalin Island, it also adopted the same method as Tsarist Russia, transporting a steady stream of labor to the island to exploit the island's rich natural resources.
The actions of Japan and Russia have caused great harm to the local indigenous people, who originally lived a peaceful and comfortable life. The arrival of Japan and Russia and the near-destructive exploitation operation completely broke all the normal life of the indigenous people.
There are even many indigenous peoples who have become slaves and are forced to participate in the exploitation of materials. Their lives were simple and simple, but they were torn apart by the arrival of the invaders.
They cannot be caught, and once they are caught by either side of the Japanese-Russian double-engine, it means the end of the world, and they will be reduced to slaves working day and night, not to mention, and even be brutally and inhumanely ravaged.
Such tragic days lasted until 1945, when Japan was defeated and announced its unconditional surrender. Japan and Russia also signed the Potsdam Agreement, and since then the entire territory of Sakhalin Island has belonged to Russia, and Sakhalin Island has been renamed Sakhalin Island.
After the dissolution of Tsarist Russia, Sakhalin Island belonged to Russia, and this ill-fated island finally had its final home, but the indigenous people of the island had disappeared after decades of torture and slavery.
A small island has witnessed the changes of history, the stars have shifted to the vicissitudes of the sea, in just a hundred years, this small island has changed owners several times, and everything on the island is already a thing and a person.
The weakness of a nation affects the fate of an entire generation, the fate of an entire region. The weak And weak Qing Dynasty has long disappeared in the smoke and clouds of history, and we are cherishing the hard-won prosperity of the present, and we hope that the motherland will always prosper.
