The United States is the only superpower in the world today. Many countries hope to maintain close alliances with the United States. The deep reason behind it is interest-driven. While relying on the United States to gain many benefits, it also enhances its international influence. The United States has also relied on its advantages to form 68 international alliances led by itself, which has an influence that cannot be underestimated in many regions around the world.
For this reason, a friend once asked a question, if the United States has a head-on conflict with other countries for its interests in the future, then who will really choose to follow the United States and take action? In the view of some military experts, there are two main countries that need to be paid attention to, in modern battles and conflicts, and they all followed the US military to charge. One of them is Japan, located in East Asia.
As a defeated country in World War II , the international community has been in order to curb its ambitions and defend world peace. After the war, the Peace Constitution was issued, , restricting its military development. At this time, in order to develop, Japan chose to give up hatred and signed a US-Japan alliance treaty with the United States, allowing the United States to deploy troops on the Japanese mainland. Although the United States has just ended the Pacific War with Japan and has just thrown out two atomic bombs , in order to enhance its influence in Asia-Pacific region, it is more conducive to competing for hegemony with the Soviet Union, and is willing to accept the "olive branch" sent by Japan with both hands.
Until now, Japan did not have a regular army. Its domestic armed forces are still the Self-Defense Forces. The purpose of construction is to defend, and the scale of development is limited. However, with the support of the United States in recent years, Japan's military strength has been rapidly improved. The scale of the seven helicopter destroyers of of the Maritime Self-Defense Force has reached the light aircraft carrier level, which to a certain extent exposed Japan's ambitions.
During the initial Iraq War , Japan sent the Self-Defense Force to the Iraqi battlefield to provide support to the US military. During the special period of tension in the United States and Iran, Japan also sent the warship to Persian Gulf and the United States to deter it together. It is precisely because of Japan's strong military power and the alliance between the United States and Japan that relevant people believe that once a large-scale war breaks out, Japan is likely to follow the United States to take action, which also requires global vigilance and prepare corresponding response measures.
In addition to Japan, the United Kingdom in Europe is also an American ally that cannot be ignored. Britain was originally known as the empire of the sun never set, and two-thirds of the world were its colonies. After the end of World War II, although Britain was a victorious country, its overall strength was greatly damaged by the attack of the German army. During the war, British Prime Minister Churchill also took the initiative to ask the United States for assistance, hoping to provide more warships to France, so as to fight against the German offensive on the maritime battlefield.
Who would have thought that the former suzerain actually asked for help from its colony. In the post-war reconstruction work of Britain also relied heavily on the financial support of the United States. To this end, the bilateral relations between the United States and the United Kingdom have been rapidly improved, and the United Kingdom has become a follower of the United States. Wherever the United States fights, the British army will follow. For example, Korean War , Gulf War , Afghan War , etc.
