Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle
In World War II of the last century, Japan put forward the strategic concept of establishing a greater East Asian co-prosperity sphere, and one step was to occupy the three northeastern provinces of China, and Japan at that time did it. It's just that because Japan is in the second step, many people don't know how terrible this japanese idea is. Let's take a look at how crazy the Japanese really are.
It has been learned that Japan's concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is divided into five steps, and in addition to the first step done by the Japanese, the second step is to completely occupy all of China. It is obvious that the awakened Chinese will never allow China to become a colony again, so even if there was a big gap with Japan at that time, our country still put up stubborn resistance, which made the japanese army's wishes frustrated.
Theoretically, the concept of Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere should be in order step by step, but as Japan fell into the Battlefield of China and faced the dilemma of lack of resources, Japan had to implement the third step plan in advance. Its third step was to "march south" to take Southeast Asia and Australia, in an attempt to use the rich resources and strategic locations of these places to prepare for a meeting with Nazi Germany.
What Japan did not expect, however, was that its "southward march" had exacerbated contradictions with Western countries, such as Britain and the United States. Subsequently, the multi-front operation also accelerated the rout of Japan, and was chased by the Allies all the way to the mainland, shouting the pale slogan of "one hundred million jade fragments".
Meet the German division
In the Japanese plan, when the third step was completed, it could integrate its forces, meet the German division in India, and then go north together to attack the Soviet Union, which was the fourth step. The final step is to attack the United States and realize the dream of global domination. It is no exaggeration to say that if Japan does, there will be only two countries left in the world, namely Japan and Nazi Germany.
Of course, it turns out that Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle is only a dream after all. At that time, Japan thought that Germany could quickly take Europe, which accelerated the advancement of the idea, but the Japanese underestimated the determination of the world to oppose fascism, and when ambition and strength did not match, the failure was not at all surprising.
Ambitious country
And, even if we were to assume in the light of history that Japan did achieve its ambition to divide the world in two with Germany, they would never have been at peace for long. In any case, these two countries are more ambitious than the other, so sooner or later a big war will break out between the two countries, when the world will only be plunged into a longer war, and more innocent people will die for it.
I have to say that we should be thankful that Japan's vision has been swept away. In short, through Japan's various performances after World War II, it is not difficult to see that its ambitions have always been there, so we must be vigilant against such an ambitious country and never give it the opportunity to promote the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere again.
