Why the United States opposed Japan s invasion of Northeast China

When Japan invaded Northeast China at the beginning, Britain and the United States did not oppose it, but later when World War II broke out, especially when the Pacific War broke out, Japan threatened the interests of the United States in Asia, and the United States turned to oppose Japan's invasion of China and demanded that Japan withdraw from China.

The United States prides itself on being the world's policeman, so naturally Japan will not be allowed to mess around.

U.S. interests in China are hurt.

However, the most fundamental thing is that if Japan annexes Tohoku and then China, Japan's power will increase greatly. This is a great threat to the United States in the Far East.

That's right, especially after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The main thing is that Japan and Germany are a collective alliance. The United States, China is one.

The United States believes that Japan's encroachment violates the commitment of the "Nine-Power Pact" to respect China's territorial and sovereign integrity.

The US policy in Asia is to not allow any country to dominate China and to establish exclusive hegemony in the western Pacific. And Japan clearly fouled.

In fact, the United States has always maintained a neutral attitude in the early days of World War II, using arms sales to various countries to make itself from a debtor country to the largest creditor country, and has never expressed opposition to Japan's invasion of China, but it was not until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and hit the largest military base of the United States that the United States began to really join the stage of World War II. The third is that the Soviet Red Army ended the German-Soviet war and turned to the battlefield in northeast China The above is the reason for forcing the Japanese to surrender, and there is another factor inherent in Japan: the battle line is too long, and the rear supply is simply inadequate!

By the way, the United States is a hypocrite at all, and he is afraid that Japan will be completely defeated, which will not be conducive to its future containment of China, so in the trial after World War II, he instigated the light sentence of many Japanese war criminals, which made Japan a lackey of the United States for a long time.

During World War II, until December 1941, the United States did not prevent Japan from invading China, but provided Japan with a large amount of military resources and arms.

At that time, the American people did not like war, there were anti-war organizations in the people, and the assistance provided by the United States to China at that time was only a volunteer team organized by the retired General Chennault, not an official army. The United States did not start the war against Japan until after Japan hit Pearl Harbor and increased its aid to China.

Is the United States not allowed to do so? Yes, it is also a matter of interest. As long as it doesn't infringe on his interests, he doesn't care. It's just that the First Battle of Pearl Harbor woke up the Americans, and their interests were greatly damaged. So fight back.

Isn't it cool that Japan invaded?

After Japan's invasion of Northeast China, although Western countries blamed Japan, it was useless, and Western countries adopted a policy of appeasement towards Japan.

After Japan's invasion of Northeast China, all countries basically sat idly by, and the powerful countries of the West were facing the attack of the German Nazis, and had no time to take care of China's eastern battlefield, so that Japan was so presumptuous.

In order to protect their own interests.

I just don't want Japan to be strong.

Fear that Japan will infringe on US interests in China.

On July 23, 1894, the invading Japanese army raided the palace of Seoul, defeated the Korean defenders, held the Korean king Yi Xi (North Korea Gojong) hostage, dissolved the Korean pro-China **, and supported the king's biological father, Xingxuan Daejun, Li Yuying, to become the regent. On July 25, 1894 (June 23 of the first year of the lunar calendar), Japan attacked the Qing troop carriers "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" that reinforced Korea on the waters of Toshima, Korea, without declaring war. At this point, Japan finally detonated the First Sino-Japanese War.

Korea shares a border with Jilin Province in northeastern China, and Japan's invasion of China must march from Korea!

Tohoku is an important source of fertile land and abundant resources.

Material** ground. In 1930, Japan's imports from Northeast China accounted for 11 percent of Japan's total imports. Japan imports 64 percent of coal, 46 percent of milled iron, and 76 percent of beans are all made from Northeast China.

In addition, Tohoku is Japan's largest investment venue and commodity sales market. In 1930, Japanese investment in Northeast China accounted for 73 percent of total foreign investment in Northeast China. Japan's exports to Tohoku account for 8% of Japan's total exports.

The Northeast is also an important strategic base, and it is not only possible to invade and occupy the Northeast.

In order to consolidate colonial rule over Korea, it could also be used as a springboard for expanding aggression against China and attacking the Soviet Union in the north. Therefore, the Japanese militarists called Tohoku the "lifeline" of Japan.

Therefore, Tanaka Yoshiichi of the Japanese army said that he wanted to conquer the world.

world, we must first conquer China; If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchu and Mongolia.

Northeast China is geographically the closest to Japan, and it is also China's grain production base, and it is also the land of the Qing Dynasty's Longxing, and the Northeast is also very rich in products, and it can invade China to the south, and to the west it can contain the Soviet Union.

2. The development of Northeast China is extremely late, but it is developing rapidly, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it can be said to be a new development zone in China. Compared with South China, the Han people in Northeast China have many immigrants, pure ingredients, and a low sense of territorial and cultural identity compared to the mainland, so they are easy to colonize.

3. The Northeast is rich and close to Japan, which is also one of the reasons.
