Why did Germany and Japan reflect so differently on World War II?

Hitler launched a war of aggression under the banner of revenge for the First World War, when Hitler expanded the war infinitely, a large part of the German senior officers and citizens felt that they were deceived by Hitler, so there has always been a more rational and objective anti-war force in Germany in reflecting on the rationality of the war, after the end of World War II, Hitler committed suicide, and his henchmen were also duly punished, and the German anti-war forces were in power for a long time, completely eliminating the soil for the breeding of fascist forces, From the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia to the fall of the Third Reich, the fate of the German state rose and fell several times because of the war, and finally the German people completely woke up to the fact that war was a dead end.

Japan's militarist forces launched a pure war of aggression, with the aim of plundering and enslaving Asian countries, after the end of World War II, the Japanese emperor and a large number of militarists escaped the punishment of history under the protection of the United States, during the Cold War and in the process of dealing with China's rise, the United States turned this group of militarists and their successors into anti-Soviet and anti-China **, under the encouragement of these people, most of the Japanese people have always believed that Japan has not been defeated since the First Sino-Japanese War, I believe that there has always been a sense of superiority of the victors in their hearts, and it is this mentality that has given great confidence and support to the stubborn and belligerent Japanese militarist forces, so that there has never been a real anti-war in Japan.

Problem description: Is it related to the spirit of "bushido" in Japan?

Analysis: The first thing to say is that the economy determines everything, and the main economic entities after World War II are Europe, the United States, and Japan. Since Germany itself needs the support of other European countries for its own development, and because it itself has indeed been defeated by European countries, it has lost convincingly, and the humanistic quality of the German people with filial piety determines the confession and introspection of the war.

Look at Japan, under the support of the United States, the rapid economic development, become the world's second NB economic power, and its development mainly depends on the United States, for East Asia is only a place for its capital to earn, not its economic and technological support place, in addition to the Japanese autistic character and its arrogant national personality, but also its more than 2000 years as a subordinate country in the face of China (not after 1900), so that its heart is indeed holding a breath of sulk for more than 2000 years, It is really a great honor for Lu Zhong to finally be able to do a big job and beat China and Southeast Asia. In addition, they themselves believed that World War II was not lost to China (Southeast Asia), but was defeated by the Soviet Union and the United States. So this little Japan ** will not have a thorough introspection on the war!

China and Japan will fight again, it's just a matter of time!

For this kind of book, I recommend reading "100 Reasons to Give Japan", which goes into great detail about this aspect.

Germany did not want to form an alliance with Japan at first, after all, there was no direct exchange of interests between the two countries at the beginning, and the two countries were still on opposite sides during the First World War, and they were fighting each other. Japan's navy was inherited from Britain and the United States, and its relations with Britain and the United States were relatively close. Moreover, before the start of World War II, Japan had a lot of ** exchanges with the United States.

The Japanese Navy wanted to form an alliance with Britain and the United States rather than Germany, and only the Army advocated learning from Germany. In the end, due to the greed of the Japanese Army, it opened up the Chinese battlefield without permission, and after the initial victory in the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese Army gained the upper hand, and Japan was also forced to get on the chariot of the Axis powers.

On the other hand, Germany, at the beginning, because of China's resources, Germany had very large exchanges with China and provided a lot of military assistance to China. However, because Germany was in strategic planning for the Soviet Union, and Japan was very powerful, Germany came together with Japan, which also had a conflict of interest with the Soviet Union, and signed the Japan-Germany alliance in 1936.

It can be said that the alliance between Germany and Japan was an outright alliance of interests, and the two did not share a common belief or worship each other. Moreover, because of the different national conditions of each country, there were very few exchanges between Japan and Germany during World War II, and there were only a few exchanges between military equipment and technology. Germany, as an army power, attaches great importance to armored operations, while the navy focuses on the development of submarines.

However, Japan happens to have a weak army, poor armor technology, and weak submarine technology, and only its naval strength can rank among the top in the world. Therefore, Germany is only a strategic ally to Japan, and Germany only hopes that Japan will play a role in containing the Soviet Union. However, after that, Japan insisted on an all-out invasion of China, which not only cut off Germany's rare earth resources, but also lost the war against the Soviet Union in the north, resulting in the Soviet Union being able to free up its hands in the Far East, transfer heavy troops back to Europe to fight against Germany, and seek death to draw the United States into the war.

By this time, Germany had become disillusioned with Japan, but it was helpless to ride a horse.

Why did Japan treat Jews differently than Germany during World War II?

Germany was beaten to the ground and shattered. It could have been wiped out. But in the end, Britain and the United States recreated Germany to counter France and the Soviet Union. But Japan surrendered because it was frightened by the atomic bomb, and it was a surrender under the leadership of the emperor. So I'm not convinced.

This is because all the main war factions in Germany have either died or surrendered and been subdued, but when Japan surrendered, there were still a large number of Japanese right-wing main station elements who did not want to surrender, so they did not sincerely admit their mistakes and admit their historical mistakes.

Germany was formerly a barbarian, and when he conquered Rome, he didn't think about pulling others off the horse to be the emperor himself, which is also a straight man with roots. In addition, the name of the Holy Roman Empire has always been in its hands since the Middle Ages, so the boss must be wrong and he will still have to win over the younger brother, and then the European Union.

The Japanese nation has great self-esteem, and militarism has always been a neurotic idea that I have for your good, but as a result, I was dried up by China, and I felt wronged, so I was entangled in my heart. Unfortunately, there was no international tribunal in China at that time.

As the most powerful power in Europe, in view of Germany's bad record of starting two world wars, it was wary of European countries, and all countries unanimously put pressure on Germany, and at the same time, all countries together also have this overwhelming strength. On the other hand, Japan, because it was not liquidated under the protection of the United States before World War II, Japan still continues to have militaristic ideology. At that time, China, the only country that could compete with Japan, although its territory was vast and the population was large, its economy and military were relatively backward, and Japan could be said to be a dominant country, and its words and deeds were even more fearless, coupled with the support of the United States, which caused Japan not only to be unwilling to apologize to its Asian neighbors, but also to the small East Asian countries not daring to raise their voices and let Japan apologize.

Thailand was not invaded by the Japanese army at that time, and the strength of countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, which were a little farther away, were relatively average, but they had nothing to do with World War II, and they naturally did not ask for trouble to make Japan confess their guilt. Among them, the only countries that have been shouting that they want Japan to confess their guilt are China and South Korea, because South Korea belongs to the same alliance system as Japan, and if it wants to suppress Japan, it must be implemented with the consent of the United States. China's national strength has been increasing day by day since the 90s, and now it has surpassed Japan, but Japan has already had an inertial thinking, habitually refuses to admit guilt, refuses to accept softness, and in order to continue to be the top spot in East Asia, it wants to fight with China, so it constantly suppresses China economically and militarily, and tries to once again cut off and stifle the pace of China's rapid rise.

There is a big difference between the Eastern and Western ethnic groups, with the Eastern ethnic groups being subtle and conservative, and the Western ethnic groups being realistic and open. If Japan does not admit its guilt, it is to die to save face and suffer the crime, but in fact, it will not change the fate of its defeat at all, and it will also carry a heavy historical burden. Germany apologized, but on the contrary, it was forgiven by the people and got rid of the shackles of history as soon as possible.

As soon as the backstage said it, it was pure nonsense, too pediatric. If Japan is not guilty, why did the United States attack Japan, drop two atomic bombs, and still occupy Japan? The United States has always held Japan guilty.

The national ideology and the education of the people are different, so the attitude is completely different.

The main thing is that Little Japan has a bushido spirit.
