As we all know, Japan is an extremely aggressive country. Although the size of Japan's territory is small, the origin and development of Japan's cultural history are even closely related to many dynasties in China's history. But in the modern era, this country is no longer a small country dependent on our country. When did Japan suddenly become a powerful empire and have ambitions to invade our country?
It was at the end of the Qing Dynasty, because our country was practicing closed-door doctrine, and the neighboring Japanese countries had already completed the Restoration Revolution. Since then, Japan's economy has developed, science and technology are advanced, and its military weapons preparations have become more and more sufficient. However, our country, which is adjacent to Japan, is decayed and backward. In the face of vast land and fertile resources, naturally any country wants to share a piece of the pie.
Especially during the outbreak of The Second World War, the Japanese were completely unconcealed, directly exposing their wolf ambitions. Japan's Emperor Hirohito ordered a full-scale occupation of China within three months, and this was only a small goal set by the Japanese state.
Because Japan plans to include all of It in Japan's territory after invading and occupying China, it has to be said that Japan's ambitions are enormous. What Japan did not expect at all was that the war would eventually last for eight years, and would end with the Japanese state announcing its unconditional surrender.
For a country with a fierce temperament, was Japan's surrender sincere? Obviously not, otherwise there would not have been thousands of Japanese soldiers who could not bear the humiliation and chose to kill themselves by cutting their stomachs.
The Japanese were reluctant to withdraw from the Chinese battlefield, and the Japanese were unwilling to admit their defeat. The Japanese soldiers also wanted to continue fighting with China. However, the Japanese soldiers were loyal to the emperor and eventually had to obey orders to leave China.
Why did Japan surrender? The moment the Japanese Emperor surrendered, no reason was given, but on August 14, 1946, a year after the japanese war of aggression was declared unsuccessful, Emperor Hirohito told the real reason in the face of the then shogun's subordinates.
The reason why folklore has been circulating is that Japan is threatened by the United States. After Japan sneaked up on Pearl Harbor in the United States, the United States strongly counterattacked Japan, dropping two atomic bombs on Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and also sending a large number of bombers to bomb. Japan's base camp is no longer secure, where does Japan have extra energy to continue to conquer China?
Coupled with the fact that US President Harry Truman wants to blackmail Japan, if he does not withdraw his troops, it will make Japan enter the era of flood famine. Isn't this an indirect telling of the sun, and if you still want to continue to resist, I will make you disappear from the earth. The Japanese Emperor was certainly afraid, after all, at that time, the United States was the only country that developed the heavy nuclear atomic bomb.
However, this was not the main reason for Japan's surrender, and it was only one of them. After all, China's anti-Japanese forces are also very strong, and we are still on the main battlefield. Therefore, Japan's failure is only a matter of time. So, what was the real reason for Japan's surrender?
Emperor Hirohito's words were more implicit, saying that although the battle was lost, it was not the first time, so there was no need to be afraid of defeat. Only when it fails, can there be a stronger motivation to make a comeback. Isn't Emperor Hirohito saying that losing once is not terrible, and we haven't lost it anyway. When you have more ability, you will fight again.
Emperor Hirohito's words were really a little bit of a thought. He attributed his failure to the preservation of power, and when Japan became strong again, would Japan carry out a second invasion? Whether or not the country he invaded next was China, it showed that Japan was an ambitious country. If China does not want to be reduced to the end of the division of the world again, it is an inevitable trend for China to rise and for China to be strong.
