What was the biggest strategic mistake that Japan made in World War II

Japan in World War II.

, the biggest strategic mistake they ever made.

1. Japan's strategy of aggression against China is itself a great strategic mistake

Japan in World War II.

On the eve of the Great War, a series of military strategies for invading China were formulated, but this strategy was obviously a big mistake for Japan. The reason is that they do not recognize China's potential and do not see who the real enemy is. Japan entered World War II in the hope of expanding its colonies and gaining more resources.

But China is a very large country, and it has a very strong national spirit. If Japan wants to expand, it only needs to target South Asia and Southeast Asia.

That is, there is no problem with the number of troops. However, they began to invade China with all their might, resulting in the final fall into the Chinese battlefield, not only were their forces completely limited, but they were also very passive in the war and did not achieve their strategic goals.

Second, the war between Japan and the United States is a very big mistake

It was not just China that Japan targeted the great powers, after which they attacked Pearl Harbor.

led to the direct entry of the United States into the war. You must know that a Chinese battlefield has stretched Japan to the limit, but their frenzied attack on the United States has undoubtedly once again increased the hostility of a big country against them, and in such a situation, Japan's overall strategy is even more passive, and they have suffered a fatal blow, laying the groundwork for their eventual complete defeat.

3. Overestimating the country's military capabilities:

Before the start of World War II, Japan's biggest mistake in strategy was that it overestimated its own military capabilities and felt that the Japanese army was invincible. They are crazy about the Japanese spirit of bushido.

The Japanese army, under indoctrination, was able to defeat any opponent, such arrogant militarism.

Thoughts, which lead them to always look down on themselves when formulating strategies, leading to mistakes in the final strategy formulation.

Japan's biggest mistake was the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it was because of this incident that the United States also entered the war and hastened its own demise.

The biggest mistake is to encroach on China, which occupies a large area of land and resources, when domestic resources are extremely insufficient.

It was to follow Germany and believe in fascism, but he did not expect that China's power was very strong, which eventually led to defeat.

Japan's biggest mistake in World War II was to pick up girls, and many Japanese officers had the idea of picking up girls. And pickling girls will make the faith of the military insufficient, so this is their biggest mistake.

Japan's mistake was to start a war against the United States by slapping it in the face.

Japan's plan was divided into two parts: the Army was primarily responsible for the occupation of Malaysia, Burma, Sumatra, and Luzon; The Navy attacked Pearl Harbor on Oahu and seized the Philippine Islands, Bismarck Islands, Java and other places. On the one hand, the plundering of the resources of these regions, on the other hand, turning the 2,500-year-old islands in the Pacific Ocean into a huge "unsinkable aircraft carrier", becoming a spectacular line of defense, and at the same time depriving the United States of naval and air bases in Asia, greatly reducing its military threat.

Strategically speaking, if Japan relied on its superior air force at that time to coordinate operations with its navy and land forces and gradually implement this huge plan, it would inevitably fight a long-term war of attrition with the United States. Especially at that time, when the situation in Europe was tense and the United States did not want to stretch the front, there was even the possibility of reaching some kind of compromise.

But Japan's stupidity lies in the "despicable" means of a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and for the United States, the crux of the matter is not that they lost some **, but that they lost face in front of the whole world, which greatly hurt their self-esteem.

Originally, before this, the United States hoped for war, but many people in the country did not want to break the peaceful life, so the anti-war sentiment was very strong. After Pearl Harbor, the United States' hesitation to fight against Japan was swept away, and its full-scale entry into the war won the support of everyone in the country, and the United States was determined to win the war at all costs. This result was completely unforeseen by Japan, and the original wishful thinking turned into a real "death" Zhiling closure.

Japan's biggest mistake was to raise its head too high, forget what it is, and single-handedly take on the US imperialists. Not to mention blowing up the Pearl Harbor oil depot and shipyard, even on December 7, 1941, the Japanese army directly occupied Pearl Harbor was useless!

A Japan, whose national strength is less than one-seventh of that of the United States, whose oil production capacity is only one-fifth of that of the United States, and whose steel is only one-twentieth of that of the United States, is several times that of the United States of America in almost any material imaginary of the United States, and that Japan would actually pull the giant of the United States imperialism into the battlefield is a pure act of suicide. It is a reckless speculative move to win luck, that is, knowing that the chances of winning are not big, but you want to gamble! Because I don't want to stop, since I don't want to stop, I will go straight to the battle, what if the US imperialists are soft and finally seek peace by war?

The result was the opposite, the people were scattered, unwilling to go to war, and the giant, who was almost sleeping, finally stood up. Quietly Japan signed the book of life and death by the way! Together with the Axis powers, the Lian Raid Duan was brought into the abyss of no return.

Personally, I think that the reason for Germany's defeat should be said: it is unpopular with the people, the speed of the war is too fast, and the blitzkrieg has advantages and disadvantages;

The biggest failure of the Empire was the attack on Pearl Harbor, which can be said to be unable to eat and walked around.

From a military point of view, a two-front war is a taboo, and from a political point of view, an unjust war is bound to fail.

Germany surrendered because everyone came into the house, and the boss was too desperate to break it himself, and the territory was gone, and there were no people, so what else to fight? Germany was exhausted, exhausted, and had to surrender. As for Japan, as an island nation, except for Okinawa, which has always been unclear about its belonging.

1. China's long-term war of resistance.

In World War II, China was the country that fought the longest war. In this long 14-year war of resistance, it has gone through hardships and is very heroic. The main feature is the long-term persistence in the War of Resistance, that is, the protracted war, and the use of protracted war to drag down the Japanese aggressors.

In the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, China wiped out a total of 1.5 million Japanese troops, which accounted for 70% of the Japanese army in World War II.

2. U.S. missile projection.

Japan brazenly attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, causing serious damage to the United States, so in the two days of August 6 and August 9, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively, and the dropping of these two atomic bombs directly razed two Japanese cities to the ground, which also completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Japanese, believing that the war was destined to end in defeat.

3. Japan's own factors.

After a long period of foreign aggression, Japan's own human, material, and financial resources have been exhausted. In 1945, Japan mobilized men aged 15-60 and women aged 17-40 to serve in the military, which showed that domestic manpower, material and financial resources were unsustainable, which also contributed to Japan's unconditional surrender.

4. The collapse of the fascist alliance.

The collapse of the fascist alliance, the defeat of Germany and Italy in the other occupations, declared defeat, and withdrew from the battlefield, which made Japan isolated in the later war, while other countries were united in China, and Japan had to surrender under the general trend of history.

1.The main force of the million-strong army was glued to the Chinese battlefield and could not move.

2.The powerful Navy and Air Force were exhausted by the US military. Excellent pilots and naval soldiers were lost.

3.The entire country was blown into ruins by the US military, the industrial base was blown up, and the energy ** back was cut off.

4.Two atomic bombs.

5.Soviet troops entered the war.

1. The stalemate in the Far East put Japan's war in a difficult position. The 2 front is spread too wide, which consumes resources. 3. The direct participation of the United States and the Soviet Union in the war greatly increased the strength of the anti-fascist alliance.

4 Germany was defeated, and the Axis backbone collapsed. 5 The U.S. military's atomic bomb not only showed overwhelming muscular strength in terms of strength, but also dealt a heavy blow psychologically.

The U.S. atomic bomb is the main one, and then there is the Soviet Union, if it really depends on the 8-way national D not to fight, maybe when.

The direct cause of Japan's surrender was the successive defeats in the Pacific Theater and the Chinese Theater, the atomic bombing of Japan by the United States, and the declaration of war by the Soviet Army on Japan.

Japan's main battlefields, the Pacific Theater, the Chinese Theater, and the Southeast Asian Theater.

The main thing is the United States, Russia declared war, and an anti-fascist coalition was formed. Japan's domestic economy collapsed and the number of employees was severely reduced.

The atomic bomb is also an even more important factor.

First. Germany surrendered Japan embattled second. Insufficient personnel Third, the United States dropped atomic bombs that were too lethal.

Isolated and embattled.

In general, five words: I can't go on.

Atomic bomb Exhaustion of strategic resources such as oil and steel (main reason) The Soviet Union sent troops to the northeast.

The main reason was that the actual situation at that time had already decided Japan's defeat. After Germany, the main force of the three Axis powers, had been defeated, the whole world had withdrawn to deal with Japan, and it can be said that Japan was the enemy of the world at that time, and the United States had already occupied all of Japan's outlying islands, and the strategic oil lines had been cut off, and Japan was waiting for death if it did not surrender.

Because the commander-in-chief of the jade shatter, Lieutenant General Kuribayashi, is no longer there.

Because the Americans dropped the atomic bomb.

In addition to the reasons given by the brother above, there is also an important factor about China's defeat, comparing the two wars, you will find that both wars occurred in China's domestic situation chaos, political darkness, corruption and incompetence of the leadership class, only thinking about their own interests and not considering the country and the people, passively avoiding wars abroad, the domestic public life is poor, the people are not living, and the country's strength has been greatly reduced, which gave Japan an opportunity to take advantage of. To tell the truth, Japan can only get away with what they call "victory" when there is chaos in other countries, and when the national strength is weakened, but when other countries are strong in their domestic form, they are not even qualified to carry shoes for others, the best example is the Russo-Japanese War, in which Japan won a complete victory, but only a few decades apart, when Japan's most elite Kwantung Army faced the nascent Soviet Red Army at Nomenkan, what was the result? The Japanese did not even have the strength to parry, and they were defeated! Besides, now that our country is in a period of steady development, its national strength is far from being comparable to that of 70 years ago, and under such circumstances, it is simply a dream for Japan to want to invade China, and I can guarantee that in the next Sino-Japanese war, Japan will completely disappear from the face of the earth.

In the First Sino-Japanese War, there was actually a situation in which the power of the Beiyang was used to resist the power of the Japanese state, and the Qing ** and the local governors all took a wait-and-see attitude and underestimated

I saw the "leadership of the Communist Party in guerrilla warfare" upstairs and laughed deeply.
