Before the founding of New China, the largest war in the history of the world, the outbreak of World War II, 61 countries and regions around the world were involved in this ruthless struggle, affecting more than 2 billion people. In the early days of the war, Italy invaded Ethiopia, the three German countries tried to annex Austria, and Japan tried to invade our country, and even invaded the northeast region of Our country after the September 18 Incident.
At that time, the Western powers pursued a "policy of appeasement" and even tried to condone the evil acts of fascism in exchange for temporary peace and stability. The word "appeasement", which has the meaning of appeasing and maintaining regional peace, is first derived from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi Lu Xun Biography", which records:
"Junqi Mao Zhao Mingde, Xiu Nai Yi Ji, obey the king's orders." Appeasement. ”
It was only the "appeasement policy" of the Western powers at that time that it was a compromise policy of appeasing adultery and condoning crime.
After World War II, the number of casualties worldwide was conservatively estimated at 200 million. The war was marked by numerous casualties, and countries around the world had to reconsider population recovery after the war subsided. At that time, almost the whole world was encouraging fertility and trying to restore the population balance, but compared with other countries, the Soviet Union, which lost more than 60 million people, was more "crazy".
At that time, in order to encourage women to have more children, the Soviet Union even formulated a policy of intention for women of the right age. At that time, the Soviet government announced that if a woman had more than 10 children, the government would award her the "Heroic Mother Medal". Of all the medals conferred by the Soviet government, three are the highest level of glory, in addition to the Order of heroes of the SOVIET Union for military merit, and the Medal of Heroes of Labor, which rewards laborers, and one is the "Heroic Mother Medal" that is specially awarded to those who have given birth to 10 or more children.
In fact, before the end of World War II, the first batch of "Heroic Mother Medals" in the Soviet Union were awarded in October 1944, when a total of 14 heroic mothers were awarded this heroic medal representing honor because they raised more than 10 children. Today, the Soviet Union has collapsed, but today's Russia continues this system as a tribute to mothers who have worked hard to raise multiple children.
After World War II, Japan suffered numerous deaths and injuries among men, resulting in an extreme imbalance in the proportion of men and women in Japan. At that time, Japan set its sights on Southeast Asia, recruiting a large number of male laborers in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia in the name of providing high-paying jobs. But in fact, these laborers, after arriving in Japan, in addition to providing cheap labor for the local area, a considerable part of them are "encouraged" to have children with local women.
Vietnam, on the other hand, allows "polygamy" in vast rural areas. The main reason for this policy is that Vietnamese men suffered a large number of casualties in the war, resulting in an extreme imbalance in the proportion of men and women in Vietnam, and in order to encourage a family to have more children to restore the population, as long as the local man can afford to have children, he can marry multiple wives.
Therefore, many netizens said that compared with the Soviet Union's use of the model of awarding "hero medals" to encourage women to have more children, Japan and Vietnam's practice of restoring the country's population is indeed a bit "funny".
