As we all know, there have been two relatively large wars in the world, that is, the First World War and the Second World War. These two world wars have caused enormous casualties and severe economic losses, which are pains that cannot be forgotten in human history. But many people don't know that both world wars led to the demise of some countries. For example, in the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was defeated, the domestic economy took a sharp turn for the worse, and all localities became independent, eventually splitting into Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and other countries, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire disappeared into the long river of history. After World War II, Germany was divided into East and West Germany, but fortunately, after peaceful reunification, Poland was first occupied by Hitler with blitzkrieg, and then annexed by the Soviet Union, which became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So the question is, if the world breaks out again, which countries will perish? Presumably, many netizens are very interested in this topic. Today Xiaobian dared to talk about his own views on this topic, netizens who agreed can comment and like, netizens with different ideas can also leave their own ideas, and everyone can discuss together.
For this problem, many experts have also given their own analysis, that is, no matter what, in the history of mankind, war has never stopped, after two world wars, human beings should understand the preciousness of peace. Then, if one day, there is no hope for peace, and a great war breaks out in the world, the First to perish will be the United States. Why? Presumably, many people will immediately stand up and say loudly, this is impossible, the United States is the world's military power and the only superpower, how can it perish? So let's analyze why the United States perished after the outbreak of war in the world.
First, let's look at the current military strength of the United States. It has to be said that the United States has no country in the world to compete with in terms of military affairs, and the most powerful thing in the United States is the Navy, which also establishes the status of the United States as the world's policeman. Relying on its strong military strength, the United States has always adhered to the principle of doing nothing if it does not obey in the world. So what exactly is the military strength of the United States? At present, there are more than 1.46 million active U.S. troops in service. Among them, there are about 485,000 troops in the army, 190,000 in the reserve, 336,000 in the Army National Guard, 7,684 main battle tanks, 17,800 armored transport vehicles, 23,352 anti-tank missiles, 767 anti-aircraft missiles "Avengers", 485 "Patriots", 5436 helicopters, and 330,000 air force aircraft. The Reserve 69,000 people, the Air National Guard 110,000 people, has 2,524 fighters, including 152 strategic bombers, 415 attack aircraft, 2,765 trainer aircraft, etc.; the Navy active 350,000 people, the reserve 102,000 people, the Marine Corps 181,000 people, the Marine Corps Reserve 38,500 people, 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, 9 amphibious assault ships, 22 cruisers, 71 destroyers, 68 nuclear-powered submarines, etc., 1920 submarine-launched nuclear warheads, 6500 nuclear warheads, 1600 nuclear warheads are in the deployment state. In addition, there are more than 6,400 people in the Space Force, 45,000 active members of the Coast Guard, more than 7,000 people in the reserve, and more than 31,000 auxiliary forces. The United States has more than 300 military bases overseas, and a large part of the funding of military bases is borne by the host country.
So, if the United States has such a powerful military force, why did it perish after the outbreak of the World War? As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within. The United States is no exception, the external force of the war may be difficult to beat the United States down, because no one can engage in unilateral military confrontation with the United States, and no country will make such a ridiculous move, except for Japan during World War II, Japan sneaked into Pearl Harbor during World War II, and wanted to eliminate the military strength of the United States in one fell swoop, it can be said that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, Japan is really on the verge of madness, and the result is that the United States beats up and does not say, its own country also has to be garrisoned by the United States. To this day, we still have to look at the faces of Americans, bowing their knees and looking like slaves. What I want to say is that the demise of the United States was ultimately caused by its internal divisions, and throughout world history, every empire was not destroyed because of the failure of the war, but from their internal divisions. The United States is no exception, although the United States is still only a hand in the world, but its domestic contradictions are also intensifying, and the American people have weapons, if exposed, the US government may be difficult to deal with.
After the outbreak of the world war, it is difficult for the United States to cope with both its own regional strategy and values in the global sphere and the stabilization of the rear. If war breaks out, then even if the United States has powerful weapons and equipment, then global operations will be beyond the reach of the whip, and the military bases overseas will be destroyed by the host country soon after the outbreak of war, and the United States can only attack and defend in the region. The United States is a paradise for capitalists, and after the outbreak of war, it will see profits and forget righteousness, and where there is money to be made, it will go wherever it wants, and it will not think of defending the United States and safeguarding the unity of the United States. Moreover, many states in the United States have been snatched from other countries through war, and although they have developed for so many years, they do not rule out their ambitions for independence. If the US combat troops all go overseas to fight and the country is empty, then it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no place for independence, and it will be difficult to take back the fists that are thrown out at this time, and the United States will not be able to deal with it.
Moreover, the United States relies on its strong military strength to carry out barbaric military intervention in other countries, provoke wars at every turn, and support puppet regimes around the world. If a world war breaks out, the countries that have been bullied by the United States will be united, and the first attack will be the United States, and the United States will become the target of public criticism in the world, and the whole world will rise up to attack it, and his Western allies may also watch from the sidelines, or also be deeply involved in the quagmire of war. Although the current world pattern is still relatively stable, regional conflicts can still be controlled, but if a world war breaks out, then old grudges and historical contradictions will break out again, and they will be out of control. For example, the Dispute over the Falklands between britain and Argentina, the conflict between Palestine and Israel, the conflict between India and Pakistan, and the conflict on the Korean Peninsula will break out. Countries intervene for their own benefit. The United States, this seemingly powerful country, will become the focal point of all conflicts, then the economic and military of the United States will be dragged down, its end is to perish, to be divided, and the United States will become the same as the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the past, becoming a joke in the long river of history and no longer existing.
So what country besides the United States is likely to perish? The answer is likely to be South Korea. Some readers may be taken aback. So will South Korea perish in a world war? The answer is yes.
First, let's take a look at how Korea came about? The Korean Peninsula was once a unified feudal monarchy, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and in modern times, Japan used the Korean Peninsula as a springboard in order to invade China. In 1894, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength increased greatly, began to invade the Korean Peninsula, Korea was powerless to resist, asked the suzerainty Qing Dynasty for help, the Qing Dynasty sent troops into the Korean War, Japan shelled Chinese troop carriers in the Yellow Sea, the two sides launched a fierce naval battle, this war is historically known as the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, unfortunately, this naval battle Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet was completely destroyed, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, not only recognized Korean independence, so that Japan gained a firm foothold on the Korean Peninsula, but also ceded China's Taiwan to Japan.
In 1897, the 26th king of Korea, Lee Hee, with the support of Russia, declared himself emperor and established the Korean Empire, Russia competed with Japan on the Korean Peninsula, but with the defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, the Korean Empire fell into the hands of Japan, and in 1910, Japan and the Korean Empire signed the "Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty", the Han Empire collapsed, and the Korean Peninsula officially became a japanese colony. In 1919, South Korean democrat Lee Kwang-so and others, with the help of Du Yuesheng, established a Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in the French Concession and elected Syngman Rhee as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea. After the end of World War II in 1945, kim Il Sung, supported by the Soviet Union, and Syngman Rhee, who was supported by the Soviet Union, controlled the north and south of the Korean Peninsula respectively, and the spheres of influence of the two sides were bounded by the 38° north latitude line, and in 1950, the North Korean People's Army launched an attack on South Korea to try to unify the Korean Peninsula, and then the United States sent troops to the Korean Peninsula, so that the war burned into China, the Chinese Volunteer Army went to Fight in Korea, and in 1953, China, the United States, and the Democratic Republic of Korea signed an armistice agreement (the armistice agreement did not have South Korea). The U.S. military has established military bases in South Korea, and South Korea has been under the protection of the U.S. military until now.
If a world war breaks out, then first of all, South Korea will die soon, because in terms of current military strength, South Korea cannot compete with North Korea, which already has nuclear weapons, which is the cost of saving its life. Some people will say that although South Korea does not have nuclear weapons, the United States does, and the United States will provide nuclear weapons to South Korea. This argument simply does not hold water, will the United States use nuclear weapons for the sake of South Korea? Even if It were, China would not let the United States succeed, and THAAD was the best example. After all, Asia is the Asia of Asians, and Asian countries are discussing things to do, and the United States wants to drink five or six in Asia, and it has to see if China agrees or not.
South Korea has always been a pawn of the United States, and the United States can abandon it at a critical time. As long as South Korea is there, the United States will be closer to China and Russia, but if war breaks out, the United States is likely to lose its car, because in terms of geographical location, the United States has no advantage. This is an external reason. So what is the internal reason? As we all know, the DPRK has always been a military policy, has always aimed at the reunification of the Korean Peninsula, the people of the DPRK are united, and the whole country is a goal. However, in Contrast, south Korea's political arena has always been controlled by chaebols, and it is impossible to achieve political independence, and once a war breaks out, several of these big chaebols in South Korea will stay and die with South Korea. Therefore, it is very likely that South Korea will end up being merged into North Korea, and the Korean Peninsula will also usher in reunification.
Aside from the likely demise of the United States and South Korea, what other countries will perish? Some netizens said it would be Japan. So, readers, do you think that if war breaks out in the world, Japan will perish? Please leave your opinion in the comments section.
Finally, what I want to say is that we reject war, we cherish peace, which is also the most simple wish of mankind.
