As we all know, in the history of the world, Japan is a country with a small land area but no small ambitions, and it has invaded many countries in history, bringing wars and disasters to these countries, and these countries often have different attitudes in the face of Japan. For example, Australia, which once attacked Japan and annihilated 200,000 Japanese troops, was once regarded as a nightmare existence by the Japanese army because of a rather fierce battle.
In 1941, the Japanese successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, and this victory caused the morale of the Japanese army to rise sharply, believing that it was already unmatched. In the six months that followed, without the threat of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Japan basically ignored the power of other powers in Southeast Asia, so Japan occupied all of Southeast Asia and the southwest pacific, and its power even expanded all the way to the Indian Ocean, and Australia was not immune at that time.
In one battle, the Japanese defeated Australia and captured as many as 20,000 Australian soldiers, but in the end nearly half of these soldiers were slaughtered by the Japanese army, and Australia took this shame to heart and never gave up the opportunity to seek revenge. Later, the Australian side mobilized its national strength to enlist in the army and established a coalition relationship with the United States, and finally joined the United States in attacking japanese soldiers in Guinea in 1943.
Due to the fact that the Japanese soldiers were dissatisfied with the local water and soil, and the support and supplies were cut off by the United States, the war, which lasted for more than two months, ended in Japan's defeat.
Later, according to statistics, the Japanese army lost as many as 200,000 people in this war, and none of these Japanese soldiers survived, so this war was also regarded by the Japanese army as a battle with quite tragic losses since the war was launched.
Australian soldiers are ashamed of their former deaths, determined to avenge their previous deaths, and when they are tried by international military tribunals after Japan's defeat and surrender, the Australian side also provides far more Japanese prisoners of war than many countries. Therefore, there are many views that Australia has not forgotten the humiliation it has suffered, and is determined to seek justice for itself, and its practice has also made many people applaud.
