I believe that all Chinese people will not be unfamiliar with the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This war not only caused thousands of Chinese people to lose their lives, but also stalled China's development for more than a decade. Every war must have a reason. For the War of Resistance Against Japan, why did Japan choose China to launch aggression? According to the geographical division, it can be found that China and Japan actually have a relatively close relationship. Moreover, the historical origins between the two countries are relatively long. There have been many exchanges and exchanges in our country in ancient times. In addition, since the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Japan has been deeply influenced by our culture, and the relationship between the two countries has become closer. It stands to reason that Japan should not choose China? But why is it still attacking China? Countless Chinese people had to bear the humiliation of the Japanese army. Could it be that this military activity launched by the Japanese only stems from the fact that the country is too small and the resources are too few, and they want to obtain a lot of resources through China, a country with a vast territory?
We set our sights on the past. In fact, before the Meiji Restoration, the gap between Japan and China was not very obvious, and we even stepped into China at that time. However, the Meiji Restoration directly changed the state of development of this country. After reforms, Japan achieved faster development, and its development in all aspects showed good conditions. This Meiji Restoration reform brought Japan's feudal rule to an end, and after absorbing new ideas from Western countries, Japan established a regime in the country that completely disagrees with the feudal era, which also means that Japan's development has officially entered a new stage. . In order to achieve better economic development, Japan established a new economic system and followed the changes of the times for the development of emerging industries. Subsequently, new technologies have gradually increased, which has given impetus to the development of Japan’s industry, and under the premise of increasing production levels , Japan’s economic strength is growing. Naturally, under good basic conditions, development in other fields has also received good preconditions. It once entered the ranks of developed countries, and gradually became a capitalist country on the basis of industrial reforms.
We also understand that not every reform can reach a perfect state. Although Japan has achieved relatively rapid development, Japanese Bushido thought still exists, and its performance during its invasion of China is particularly obvious. With a good economic foundation, the traditional warriors who were in charge of politics began to transform with the development of the times, and imperialism began to sprout at this time. Based on the behaviors after World War II, we can also clearly find that the so-called imperialist ideology is actually based on the suffering of others. In the early days, Japanese samurai mainly engaged in wars and killings. Since Japan became more and more eager for imperialism, it used the power of the emperor to expand militarism and carried out militarism through various methods and channels. The deepening of the thinking, so that the military and civilians of the whole country can recognize and believe in this idea. Therefore, at that time, Japan had a very strong idea of war, and the presence of aggressive war in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
As a country with thousands of years of great history, China not only occupies a large tract of land in Asia, but also has a lot of mineral resources based on the vastness of the country, which can provide Japan with the basis for industrial production. In addition, China at that time has already Partitioned by the top Western countries and their national power is very weak, such a country is undoubtedly the best choice for Japan to expand. Since militarism itself shows strong ambitions, Japan’s occupation of China is actually only the first step. Japan has a more “magnificent” idea, which is to start from China and realize the gradual expansion of its sphere of influence, and a certain future Become a major overlord of the world one day. How can there be only one China? At that time, almost all Asian countries were caught in Japanese aggression, which shows how rampant Japan was at that time. Naturally, all unjust wars will eventually be punished. In the Pacific War, Japan was hit hard by the United States, and Japan's military development was absolutely restricted by the United States, so the so-called militaristic dream was broken without attack.
