During World War II, China, as the main mainstay of the Eastern Theater, made great sacrifices and efforts for the anti-fascist war around the world.
But what makes all the people angry is that we, who should be the victorious powers, enjoy the treatment we deserve, but these treatments are not only not enjoyed, but we are ostracized by some Western capitalist countries. Even the British took advantage of the fire and robbery to forcibly divide the grape county that originally belonged to the mainland. What's going on here? Next, the author will analyze it for you.
Origin of Grape County
Grape County is located in northern Myanmar, because of its fertile land and mild climate, coupled with the large number of grapes produced every year, so it has the reputation of grape county.
According to the western Han dynasty history records, as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, grape county was China's territory. At that time, the system implemented by the Han Dynasty was a county system, and according to geographical division, grape counties were under the jurisdiction of Yunnan.
In order to prevent ethnic minorities from invading grape county, whether it was the Han Dynasty or the later Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, successive generations of monarchs would send troops to grape county to increase their control over the county. After that, it continued until the Ming Dynasty, and the mainland's control over grape counties weakened.
During the reign of Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, he set up the Sanxuan and Liuwei Administration, of which Grape County was under the jurisdiction of this administrative office. However, after the reign of the Jiajing Emperor, he did not go to the court for thirty years, which also made the Ming Dynasty's control over grape county fall to an all-time low.
At this time, the Burmese dynasty suddenly arose and gradually penetrated into the grape county. In order to preserve this territory, the Ming Dynasty organized several counterattacks to successfully regain the power of Grape County, which lasted until the Qing Dynasty, and it also paid tribute to the Qing Emperor as a vassal state of the mainland.
The British invaded Grape County
Since the First Industrial Revolution, Britain's power has swelled rapidly, they have built a huge maritime army, began to establish colonies around the world, during which time in 1824, the British officially launched a war of aggression against Burma.
It was not until 1886 that the British established all of Burma as a colony and even captured their king, although the Qing government also intervened with them, but it was clear that it did not play any role.
However, what all the officials of the Qing Dynasty never expected was that after the British controlled Burma, they actually became arrogant and gradually invaded the territory of the Qing Dynasty, including Grape County.
The reason they gave at that time was very simple, claiming that grape county had been occupied by Burma, so this place was Burmese territory and did not belong to the Qing regime.
For their shameless reasons, many officials within the Qing Dynasty lodged serious protests, because the geographical location of Grape County was so important that if it was controlled by the British army, they could then go north to endanger the Qing regime.
Although some ministers were full of the heart of serving the country, the Qing government at that time was also very helpless, they were in the midst of internal and external troubles, where they could still take care of a small county in a remote area.
In this way, because of the inaction of the Qing government, Grape County was basically controlled by the British army in 1892, and for this matter, the attitude of the Qing government at that time was also passing by, and there was no concern and no way.
The land of the "total fall"
With the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the National Government, there were also government officials who went to negotiate with the British army, but the British did not respond much to them.
Until around 1926, with the gradual advancement of the British army, all the areas of Grape County had been completely controlled, and the National Government, facing this fallen land, could only deceive the people and say: "For the time being, there is no fall and is actively fighting." ”
With the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, all of China was involved in the War of Resistance, and naturally there was not much energy for grape counties. But by 1940, China had a great opportunity to reclaim the grape counties.
At that time, because China's frontal battlefield was in a state of stalemate, Japan, which was desperate to achieve victory, directly crossed the Chinese battlefield and then invaded other regions, of which Burma was the biggest victim.
Many parts of South Asia were British colonies, and for conservation purposes they also sent troops to Asia to assist in the war. However, the National Government at that time did not take advantage of the alliance and the reasons of practical factors to make a demand to the British to recover grape counties.
With the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, the United States was also involved in World War II, which made the British feel stiff, and they did not seem to need China's help anymore, so they directly and openly classified Grape County into Burma.
Even more egregious is that in order to force China's consent, they directly threatened the National Government, saying: "If you want to continue to use the lifeline of the Myanmar Highway, you must promise the sovereignty of Grape County." In this way, the mainland completely lost its grape county, and after Burma gained national independence, it naturally became burmese territory.
brief summary
The loss of grape county is also a testimony to the humiliation of mainland history, which, according to the history books, has followed us for thousands of years. But in modern times, the loss of weak countries forever because of their lack of diplomacy has to make each of our Chinese feel heartache.
