The Second World War lasted 6 years, and countless innocent people died in this catastrophe, and countless spiritual civilization and material civilization were destroyed. This is a catastrophe for all mankind. Let's talk about Japan, one of the fascists.
When a country initiates a war to attack another country, there are many reasons to consider. Comprehensive national strength, topography and topography are all very important reasons. Japan’s attack on China was due to the fact that China and Japan face each other by the sea, the distance is relatively close, and the transportation is relatively convenient. Second, because China was relatively backward and the domestic situation was relatively complicated, and Japan was relatively developed relative to China. Japan naturally believed that it would be within reach to attack China. From 1931 to 1945, Japan's invasion of China lasted for 14 years, and these 14 years were a catastrophe for the Chinese people. In the past 14 years, the Chinese have united as one, vowed to fight against Japan to the end. When Japan invaded China in an all-round way, it uttered wild words that it would take China within three months and then invade Asia. It stands to reason that Japan should invade several key Asian countries, but why is Japan unwilling to continue after a failed attack on India? I personally think there are several reasons.
First, the war of aggression against China, , took 14 years and was unsuccessful. It consumed a lot of Japanese military and financial resources. At that time, the young men in Japan basically died in battle, and the minors were dragged onto the battlefield. How sad and hateful it is. In the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan was overwhelmed in the Chinese battlefield and lacked the ability to do so. Naturally, there was not much financial and material resources to support him to attack other countries. The Chinese people have had an excellent tradition of sacrifice and dedication since ancient times. Without China's stubborn struggle, the anti-fascist war would add more difficulties.
Second, India’s geographical location helped them. India is located to the west of China. If you want to invade India, you must cross China. Although China had fallen to many places at the time, due to the Chinese people’s resistance, the doomed Japan was impossible. It attacked China, so at that time Japan was unable to cross China to attack China for a long time. In addition, India’s terrain is more complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Japan has not tasted the sweetness after trying to attack once. It can only die without a disease and dare not launch a second attack.
At that time, Europe’s economic development and industrial level far surpassed that of Asia. If Japan invaded Europe, it would not have much chance of winning. There were many colonies in European countries, especially the United Kingdom, which were almost all over the world. India is one of the British colonies. India itself cannot compete with Japan, but it does not have a great chance of winning against Britain. At that time, China's economic development was backward and its industry was backward. The entire country is in a backward state, and Japan is the only country in Asia that has caught up with the industrial revolution. In terms of industrial manufacturing, it is naturally stronger than China. They have greater confidence to attack China. The United Kingdom is different. The strength of the United Kingdom is similar to that of Japan, and it is more advanced than Japan in industrial manufacturing. Undoubtedly, if Japan is to attack Britain, or if Japan is attacking the European battlefield, the chance of winning is very small. In this case, Japan will of course choose the Asian battlefield.
Actually, Japan and India had a battle of Imphal. This battle took place in 1944. Japan launched an attack on the Imphal region of India. At that time, Britain, India and China formed an alliance. To fight back against Japan together, Japan's defeat is inevitable. After the defeat of this war, Japan completely withdrew from the Indian battlefield without making a second attempt. The last point of
is also very important. During the 14-year war of aggression against China, Japan spent too much time on the Chinese battlefield and the price was too great. Japan had already lost most of its combat power in the latter part of its war of aggression against China, and it was dead end in itself. Starting the Imphal War itself also meant a dying struggle, and coupled with the resistance of the international anti-fascist alliance to the fascist countries, Japan was also unable to do what it wanted. Naturally, after failing in the first attack, he was unable to launch the second game.
If there is no such arduous resistance from the Chinese people, the pattern of World War II will be unknown. Let alone India, I am afraid that more countries will not be able to escape the clutches of Japan. China has trapped Japan in the Chinese battlefield for 14 years and has fought against the world's anti-fascist warThe struggle has made a huge contribution, and people all over the world should remember this history!
