After the Second World War , many countries suffered heavy damage from the war and were devastated. It was a time for everything to be done. Therefore, everyone is determined to develop and rarely cause trouble and launch wars. However, in order to maintain its position as a global hegemon, the United States interferes in other people's internal affairs as a "world policeman". At the same time, the United States has launched a lot of wars. Why did it attack North Korea, Vietnam , Iraq and other countries?
1. Korean War
In August 1910, Japan forced North Korea to sign the "Japan-South Korea Merger Treaty", stipulating that the Korean king would rule with Japan forever, and since then, North Korea became a colony of Japan. On August 9, 1945, when Japan was about to be defeated and surrendered, the United States proposed to the Soviet Union that the 38th direction of the north latitude was bounded, namely, the 38th parallel, and the United States and the Soviet Union occupied the southern and northern parts of the Korean Peninsula respectively. The US proposal was recognized by the Soviet Union. On August 15, 1945, after Japan announced its unconditional surrender, the United States and the Soviet Union replaced Japan to control North Korea.
Then, the United States and the Soviet Union entered the Cold War period.
The United States supported the establishment of South Korea in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula under its control, and the Soviet Union supported the establishment of North Korea in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula under its control.
In 1950, with the support of the Soviet Union, North Korea launched the Korean War to unify the Korean Peninsula. The South Korean army was weak in combat and was defeated by the North Korean army and was soon destroyed by North Korea. When the United States was unwilling to give up South Korea, a bridgehead to contain the Soviet Union in East Asia, and sent troops to intervene in the Korean War. The United States' participation in the war changed the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and the North Korean army suffered a series of defeats by the United Nations Army led by the United States. At the same time, the United States ignored our country's warning and crossed the 38th line and burned the war to the coast of Yalu River.
Our country and North Korea have lost their lips and teeth. If North Korea is destroyed by the United States, the enemy's cannon will be placed before our gate. For the sake of our country's strategic security, our country made the decision to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Send volunteer army across the Yalu River to help neighboring North Korea resist the invaders U.S. troops. After three years of desperate battle, the Volunteer Army drove the US troops behind Line 38 with its tenacious fighting will. Subsequently, American famous generals Li Qiwei, Van Ferrit and others tried to counterattack with the powerful firepower of the US military, but were all blocked by the volunteers.
After the United States was unable to defeat the volunteer army on the battlefield, the United States had to sit down and negotiate. In the end, the two sides signed a treaty, and the peace was restored with the 38th line as the boundary.
2, Vietnam War
After World War II, France took over Vietnam, Cambodia and other places from Japan.
The Vietnamese people were unwilling to let France continue to colonize and rule them, so a war broke out with France. With the support of our country and the Soviet Union and other countries, it took 9 years to drive France out of Vietnam. When France left, under the interference of the United States and other countries, it signed the Geneva Agreement, agreeing to let Vietnam divide the north and south by , 17th-degree line of , latitude 17, latitude 1, latitude 2 as the boundary, the north and south, the north and the south were led by Emperor Bao.
In 1955, with the support of the United States, Diem launched a coup, deposed Baodi , and established the Republic of Vietnam, namely Nanyue . In order to unify Vietnam, war broke out between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At first, the United States only sent military advisers to train the South Vietnamese army to help the South Vietnamese army resist the North Vietnamese army, but the South Vietnamese army's combat effectiveness was too weak to stop the North Vietnamese army. In order to avoid South Vietnam being destroyed by North Vietnam and Southeast Asia became the Soviet sphere of influence, the United States directly sent troops to participate in the Vietnam War, and replaced it with the US military and North Vietnam war.
Although the United States is very strong, North Vietnam not only survived tenaciously with the assistance of our country, the Soviet Union and other countries, but also dragged the US military into the quagmire of war. In the next 20 years, the United States invested 650,000 troops on the Vietnam battlefield, suffered 300,000 casualties, and spent 250 billion US dollars, but it was unable to eliminate North Vietnam. This caused a lot of curses in the United States and forced the US government to order the withdrawal of Vietnam.
After the US military left, South Vietnam was quickly destroyed by North Vietnam, and Vietnam achieved unification.
3. Kosovo War
1980, after Tito died, Yugoslavia gradually declined, and finally became an understanding in 1991. Slovenia , Croatia and Macedonia became independent from Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro opposed the independence of the three countries. For this reason, wars broke out in Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro over independence. In 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) also became independent, with only Serbia and Montenegro remaining in Yugoslavia. The two countries re-formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, namely Yugoslavia .
In addition to Yugoslavia franchises such as Croatia, they want to become independent from Yugoslavia, and Serbia's Kosovo region , and they also want to become independent from Yugoslavia. In 1991, when Yugoslavia collapsed, two Albanians in the Kosovo region also organized a referendum and declared Kosovo a republic. In 1992, Kosovo formed a parliamentary and administrative body and elected the leader of the Democratic Union, Ibrahim Rugova, as the president of the Republic of Kosovo, forming another regime parallel to the Serb regime.
In 1995, after Serbia ended the war with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Serbian authorities began to send troops to strongly suppress Kosovo's independent forces. After the outbreak of the Kosovo War, about 300,000 people were displaced and became refugees.
Yugoslavia is a socialist country. Under the leadership of Tito, it insists on independence and non-alignment movement, and has also maintained a certain distance from the Soviet Union. However, Western countries led by the United States have always regarded it as dissident. In order to get rid of the last Milosevic regime (Japan) in the southeastern European region, which is regarded as dissident by the Western system, in 1999, the NATO jail state led by the United States bypassed the UN Security Council under the banner of "avoiding humanitarian disasters", and carried out a 78-day bombing on the yugo Yugoslavia, killing more than 2,000 innocent people in the Fifth League, injured more than 6,000 people and displaced one million people, causing heavy harm to the Fifth League people.
Yugoslavia is not a rival to the United States and other countries, and can only withdraw troops from Kosovo. On June 20, 1999, NATO announced the end of the bombing of Yugoslavia.
4. Gulf War, Iraq War
1980-1988 Iraq War , in order to maintain the huge expenses of the war, Saddam borrowed a lot of money from Arab brother countries such as Saudi , Kuwait , etc. After the war, Iraq faced tremendous financial pressure, and Saddam asked Kuwait to relieve Iraq's $14 billion debt, but was rejected. Saddam leaned back to the next best, demanding oil-producing countries such as Kuwait to cut oil production to increase oil prices. After Iraq made money, it could repay the debts of Kuwait and other countries, but was rejected by Kuwait again.
After being rejected twice, Saddam was furious and sent troops to capture Kuwait, declaring Kuwait as Iraq's "19th province."
Saddam's move undermined the order in the Middle East dominated by the United States and harmed the interests of the United States. At the same time, in order to control oil in the Middle East, the United States joined forces with allies such as Britain and France to launch a Gulf War against Iraq. During the Gulf War, the United States invested a large number of high-tech weapons, showing an overwhelming advantage in air control and electromagnetic control over the Iraqi army, and soon defeated the Iraqi army.
In the Gulf War, the United States and its allies only killed 223 people and injured 697 people, but Iraq killed 25,000 people and injured 75,000 people. Iraq's defense system was also defeated by the US military. After a crushing defeat by the US military, Saddam agreed to withdraw his troops from Kuwait and the Gulf War ended.
After the Gulf War, although Saddam did not dare to openly fight the United States, his relationship with the United States has always been bad. At the same time, the longer Saddam was president in Iraq, the more autocratic and domineering he was, and he launched bloody suppression of the opposition in the country, creating the Kharabja incident, the Dujar village case, etc. He also indulged his relatives in corruption and luxury in life, which aroused dissatisfaction among the Iraqi people.
Saddam's ambitions are also expanding, wanting to play a bigger role in Middle East , which makes the United States trying to control the Middle East very unhappy. In 1999, Saddam also announced that Iraq's oil transactions would be traded in euros, which destroyed the oil-dollar system built by the United States, threatened the US dollar's status as the "world currency" and challenged the US bottom line. In 2003, the United States joined forces with allies such as Britain and France to launch a war against Iraq on the grounds that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and secretly supported terrorists.
The United States-led coalition quickly overthrew the Iraqi government, and Saddam was also captured by the U.S. military. In 2006, Saddam was executed by Iraqi authorities.
4. Afghanistan War
In 2001, the United States suffered a 911 terrorist attack that shocked the world. Terrorists hijacked two civil aviation passenger planes and crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, killing 2,977 civilians. Afterwards, bin Laden, who planned the 9/11 incident, fled to Afghanistan to avoid disaster. The United States demanded that Afghanistan hand over bin Laden and wanted to bring him to justice, but Afghanistan rejected it. Subsequently, the United States launched the Afghan war on the grounds of counter-terrorism. With its strong military strength, the US military quickly overthrew the Afghan government and supported a pro-US government.
Taliban The Afghan government in power was overthrown by the US military, but the Taliban used the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan to insist on confronting the US military, and instead dragged the US military into the quagmire of war. On May 1, 2011, bin Laden was shot dead by the US military in the outskirts of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The murderer behind the 9/11 incident died, but the United States did not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
The real purpose of the United States' attack on Afghanistan is because Afghanistan's strategic position is very important. Afghanistan is an important barrier and bridge in southern Central Asia. To the north of Afghanistan is the Central Asian region of Russia, bordering my country in the northeast, and bordering Iran in the west. The United States has controlled Afghanistan. Going north can deter Russia and China, and the west can suppress Iran, and can also control Central Asia through Afghanistan.
Although the geographical location of Afghanistan is very important, there is a saying that Afghanistan has the imperial cemetery. The British Empire and the Soviet Union both failed in Afghanistan and wanted to occupy Afghanistan, but were eventually defeated by the Afghan people. In 2001, after the United States launched the Afghan War, it took 20 years to kill more than 2,300 people and 450 of its ally Britain, spending more than 2 trillion US dollars, but it was unable to eliminate the Afghan Taliban. After the strategic purpose cannot be achieved, the United States can only choose to stop losses in 2021 and withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
After the US withdrawal, the Taliban quickly defeated the US-backed pro-U.S. government and established a new government in Afghanistan under the power of the Taliban.
5. Libyan War
1969, at the age of 27, Gaddafi led the free officers to organize a coup, overthrew the pro-Western Idris dynasty , and established the Republic of Libya. Gaddafi hated Western colonists very much, so after he took the helm of Libya , he embarked on the road of anti-US, anti-British and anti-French, driving the US and British troops in Libya out of Libya, and turned to the Soviet camp to get along with the Soviet Union.
In the process of confronting Western countries such as the United States, in order to retaliate against the United States' "Golden Canyon" military operation against him, the United States wanted to kill Gaddafi through air strikes, but Gaddafi escaped by chance. Gaddafi's two sons were injured, and an adopted daughter was killed. US military aircraft shot down Libyan fighter jets in Libya's no-fly zone , Western countries took in Libya's opposition figures, imposed economic sanctions on Libya, etc., Gaddafi created terrorist attacks such as the West Berlin stage bombing and the Lockeby air crash.
This makes the contradiction between Western countries and Gaddafi become deeper and deeper. At the same time, Gaddafi also established the African Union and wanted to be the "King of Kings" of Africa. The ambitious Gaddafi made Western countries very upset. Gaddafi dared to openly confront the United States and other countries because he had the support of the Soviet Union behind him.In 1991, after the collapse of , Gaddafi lost his backer. The fate of Saddam, another anti-US leader in the Middle East, also scared Gaddafi. Gaddafi began to want to reconcile with Western countries. In order to express his sincerity, Gaddafi publicly supported Chechnya's independent armed forces, which made him offend Russia, but did not gain the favor of the United States.
In 2011, Gaddafi's economy fell into trouble due to autocratic dictatorship, nepotism, corruption, cruel suppression of opposition, coupled with the decline in oil prices and sanctions from Western countries, etc., which put Libya's economy in trouble and the people's lives were in trouble, and his dissatisfaction with Gaddafi completely broke out. Large-scale demonstrations and armed conflicts broke out in Libya. Western countries that had long been disgusted with Gaddafi's intervention took the opportunity to begin an armed attack on Libya. The United States, France and other countries quickly defeated the Libyan army and overthrew the Gaddafi government with a devastating momentum. On October 20, 2011, Gaddafi was discovered and killed by the opposition in his hometown of Sirte.
