How big is Japan's ambition in history?

For the first time, surrender for a thousand years.

Japan is an island country, and its domestic development is easily restricted, which is also the main reason for Japan's external expansion from beginning to end. In 663, there was the first Sino-Japanese War in history, which was also of great significance.

Silla, the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, was attacked by Goguryeo and Baekje, and Baekje was solved in the Tang Dynasty. However, the adherents of Baekje saw the troops of the Tang Dynasty returning to China, so they led the people to revolt and unite with Japan at that time, and the famous Battle of Baijiangkou took place.

As a result, the Tang Dynasty defeated Japan, which had done its best in the whole country, and made Japan, which had just seen the revival, completely submit to the Tang Dynasty, and humbly studied the Central Plains culture for hundreds of years. It's not hard to see that the Japanese can learn from you if they can beat it.

Not afraid of the yuan dynasty, lost to the Ming dynasty.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Japan was very friendly to the Central Plains Dynasty, and not only did it submit to the Central Plains, but in the Yuan Dynasty, it sent an envoy to Japan for the first time, and there was no reply, so Kublai Khan sent people to Japan for the second time. This time, he returned empty-handed. The Yuan emperor who traveled all over Eurasia could not swallow this breath, so he launched a war against Japan. Unfortunately, he met a "kamikaze" (typhoon)

In fact, Japan does not agree with the status of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains. However, when the Han people established the Ming Dynasty, Japan fell into war again. At this time, many Japanese stepped onto the ranks of pirates, so a large number of Japanese pirates invaded the southeast border area of the Ming Dynasty, and this hidden danger was not lifted until the appearance of Qi Jiajun.

It was not until 1590 that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was reunified, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a great ambition, that is, to expand into Asia. His ambition was to occupy Korea at first, so he occupied the Ming Dynasty with Korea as a platform, and even had the idea of moving the Japanese emperor to Beijing. So the Japanese began to attack Korea and even drove korean king to the border of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Dynasty could no longer tolerate it, and Ming Shenzong decided to fight back for seven years.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in Japan, and his subordinate Tokugawa Ieyasu took the opportunity to seize power, which led to chaos in the whole country; The Korean battlefield abroad has suffered many setbacks, and the general trend has gone, and a large number of soldiers cannot return home. This ambition of Japan was once again shattered by the Ming Dynasty.

Forced founding of the country, crazy lien chan

Japan, which entered the Edo era, was relatively stable at home. However, at the end of the shogunate, Japan was forced to be founded by European and American countries, but it entered a rapidly developing era-Meiji era.

Japan entered the Meiji era, formed a new government and began to carry out reforms. Japan's most famous Meiji Restoration took place at this time. After Meiji Restoration, Japan made great efforts to develop and strengthen its own military, which led to the prevalence of its own militarism. In addition, limited by Japan's own development, Japan once again turned its attention to overseas, so it formulated its foreign expansion plan. The first step is to capture Ryukyu. The second step is to seize North Korea, Taiwan Province Province and other places; The third step is to occupy the northeast and other places; The fourth step is to annex the Qing Dynasty.

Japan also implemented it step by step according to its own plan, and annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1878; He defeated the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War 1894, seized Taiwan Province Province and other places, and used a large amount of reparations to develop the military and economy; 1904 War with Russia, which lasted for one and a half years, won the interests of Northeast China and became a capitalist power; 19 10, Korea was officially identified as its own colony; During World War I, the European powers were busy with the war and stole various interests.

Japan is making itself bigger and stronger step by step, and its ambitions are growing; 1927, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka's secret letter to Hirohito recorded Japan's ambition:

It can be seen from this that what Japan wants is to dominate East Asia and Southeast Asia, so according to their plan, aggression is gradually beginning. 193 1 year "September 18th Incident", the Japanese army began to invade the three northeastern provinces unscrupulously. 1937' s "July 7th Incident" even kicked off the war of aggression against China and World War II in Asia in advance.

1938, Japan began to conceive the "New Order of Greater East Asia", 1940, and put forward the "Glorious Circle of Greater East Asia". This time, Japan's ambition is aimed at the whole world. According to Japan's aggression plan, the first step is to establish a puppet Manchukuo in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning; Step 2: Occupy all China; Step 3: Occupy Southeast Asia and Australia; The fourth step: meet Nazi Germany in India and conquer the Soviet Union in the north; Step five: attack the United States and dominate the world.

I didn't expect Japan to lose completely this time. 1On August 5th, 945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and its ambition was shattered by the atomic bomb.

Amend the constitution and want to join the P5.

After World War II, Japan became a ruin in China. However, with the support of the United States, Japan's economy has also developed rapidly and become a world economic power. However, Japan has never forgotten the losses it suffered in World War II. The first is Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. In the 1980s, it was proposed to amend Article 9, which was highly valued at home and abroad.

In the 2 1 century, the Japanese government's idea of amending Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution became stronger and stronger, especially when Shinzo Abe was prime minister. However, the domestic people are not very buying it. More than half of the people do not support the amendment, and less than one third support it, which has not been realized so far.

Behind Shinzo Abe's desire to amend Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, there is actually a Japanese idea, that is, to recover the South Kuril Islands (called the four northern islands in Japan). It is not difficult to see why Japan has always negotiated with Russia in recent years.

Of course, recovering the South Kuril Islands is only one of the goals. The bigger goal is to strengthen Japan's military strength, make Japan a world military power, and strive for more voice in joining the permanent members of the United Nations.

Japan has long wanted to become a permanent member of the United Nations. In order to become a permanent member, it has formed a "four-nation alliance" with India, Brazil and Germany. However, many countries that have been invaded by Japan think that this will make Japan's "militaristic" forces rise, so they are very opposed.

In fact, every country has ambitions, but Japan's foreign aggression and militaristic atrocities have caused great harm to the people of the world. I hope that Japan can reflect on itself and thus establish a responsible image as a big country.
