Why didn t the Soviet Union send troops to Japan when Japan was defeated?

At that time, the Soviet Union did not have so much money to support sending troops overseas.

The United States strikes first. The Soviet Union did not send troops because it was beyond the reach of the whip and its economic strength could not be reached.

Of course, the USSR also had **, and it was definitely necessary to focus on recuperation.

The main reason is that the atomic bomb dropped by the United States in the first place, and I think it is not necessary.

The Soviet Union did not send troops to the defeated Japan for several reasons.

There was no need for the USSR to garrison Japan.

In the national strategy of the Soviet Union, its focus was on Europe, which was the center of gravity of the Soviet Union. East Asia was not the focus of the Soviet Union, and Japan did not have much strategic value to the Soviet Union. It was precisely because of national strategic considerations that the Soviet Union had no intention of stationing troops in Japan.

In World War II, the Soviet Union was mainly fighting the Germans, not the Japanese. Therefore, after the victory in the war, the Soviet Union also focused on dealing with the German problem and turned a blind eye to Japan.

Japan was too far from the USSR, and the cost of garrisoning troops was too high.

The Soviet Union was essentially a European country, and the main economic and cultural centers of the Soviet Union were in the European region. A large part of the territory of the USSR in Asia was no man's land, and the presence of the USSR in Asia was not particularly high。If the Soviet Union went to Japan to garrison troops, it would be a large amount of defense expenditure, and for the Soviet Union, which had just come out of the war, the cost of garrisoning troops was very high, and with the economic strength of the Soviet Union at that time, it was not yet able to go to Japan to garrison troops.

U.S. intervention.

After the victory in World War II, the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union have become increasingly acute, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union is about to begin. The United States has a large number of interests in Asia, and stationing troops in Japan is in line with the interests of the United States, and it is precisely from the perspective of safeguarding its own interests that the United States does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to station troops in Japan and thus achieve actual control over Japan.

It was precisely because of the intervention of the United States, coupled with the great sacrifices made by the United States to defeat Japan, that the Soviet Union did not send troops to Japan.

The United States did not agree, the Soviet Union only occupied the four northern islands, and now Japan and Russia are still quarreling over the four northern islands.

The main thing is that there is no time. The main enemy of the USSR in those years was Germany. The Soviet Union was prepared to solve the problem of Germany sending troops to Japan, but the United States was afraid that the Soviet Union would send troops to Japan for strategic considerations, so it used the atomic bomb to speed up the course of the war, so the Soviet Union did not have enough time.

Because the Soviet army has always been in China back then.

Why did Japan remain "neutral" during the Soviet-German war and did not take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union until the end of World War II? Don't dare to attack. In December 1941, the Soviet army in the Far East had 1.34 million men, 8,777 artillery and mortar mines, 2,124 tanks and 3,198 combat aircraft.

In July 1943, the Soviet army in the Far East numbered 1.29 million men, with 127,000 artillery and mortar mines, 2,589 tanks, and 3,178 combat aircraft. The 9 tanks of the Guangdong army, plus 414 tanks, are far from enough compared to the current Soviet army of about 2,000 tanks. Regardless of the number of troops, artillery, tanks, and aircraft, the Kwantung Army was at a disadvantage.

Japan published an article on the supply war in East Asia: "The Kwantung Army and the 2nd Division of the General Staff Headquarters, despite their efforts to find a good opportunity for the Japanese army to attack by force, Japan hopes that the Soviet troops will be redeployed to the west of Europe, the Far East of the Soviet army will be greatly weakened, and the military and political crisis of the Soviet Union will be seriously weakened. An attempt at force.

> "Before the outbreak of the Soviet War, the Soviet Union and Japan had been fighting each other for nearly a decade, and after the September 18 Incident, when Japan entered the north, the only huge West Siberian artery, the Trans-Siberian Railway, could be cut off. Cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway, the entire territory of the Soviet Union in the Far East had 6 million square kilometers of rebels overnight and seriously damaged the strategic foundation of the entire country, with the help of mechanized Soviet troops, defeated the pure manpower of Guangdong, the Japanese Douding tank, the Soviet Armia T-26 felt like a tiger, the T-34 was not, it can be seen that Japan has a low degree of mechanization.

The Soviet Union thwarted the ambition of the Japanese army to lose more than 60,000 people, annihilated more than 60,000 people, in this battle, the Soviet Union invested more than 1,000 tanks, 500 aircraft (207 lost) After the end of the Soviet-Japanese war, more than 31,000 tons of ammunition were consumed, and the 1940 armistice treaty was signed, Japan completely gave up the northward advance and Bo no longer dared to blaspheme the Soviet Union, and the Soviet army also quickly moved from the Far East to the European theater of operations, which was the Soviet Union that the Japanese Kwantung Army did not attack When the Soviet Union was at war, The reason for this is that little is known about the Normon-Han War, and there are currently public archives that are being made public.
