During World War II, was the relationship between India and Japan confrontational, cooperative, or n

At that time, India was not an independent country, but a British colony. Britain and Japan declared war, and India, as a colony, naturally entered a state of war with Japan.

Of the 100,000 British troops captured by the Japanese in Singapore in 1942, 70,000 were Indians.

Burma, which was captured by the Japanese in 1942, was not a separate colony, but a province of British India.

In 1945, the Japanese army invaded India and surrounded Imphal.

However, the radicals in India against British colonial rule at that time chose to cooperate with the Japanese in a group led by Dr. Chandra Bowes, who recruited and formed a 50,000-strong "Indian Volunteers" from the Indian army captured by the Japanese army, and participated in the Japanese offensive against Imphal. In 1943, Bowes was also invited to participate in the Greater East Asia Conference held in Tokyo, and took a group photo with Hideki Tojo, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Jinghui, and other leaders of the regime supported by Japan.

But in independent India, he is still revered as a national hero, and in 1965, India issued stamps on the theme of him and the Volunteers.

Indians at the time were generally ambivalent. Because India was a British colony at that time.

There were people who did not want India to be invaded, so they participated in the Indian army's expedition to Burma to resist the Japanese army.

There are also those who hope that the Japanese army will come to "liberate" India as soon as possible.

Japan and India have a special strategic partnership.

There are two main reasons why India is so close to Japan in the quiet night

1. There is no conflict of interest or historical entanglement between the two countries.

Second, both countries are countries with wolf ambitions.

Because of its location in South Asia, although in World War II.

During this period, the Japanese invaded Imphal, but Japan was never able to penetrate into the South Asian subcontinent, so in fact, Japan and India did not have much to do with each other during World War II.

Target. India, after being beaten by us in the 1962 war, also suffered from severe "1962 syndrome", competing with China everywhere, and my father's heart never stopped hitting me again. The common fiasco has made Japan and India feel sorry for each other, and this is an important foundation for the relationship between Japan and India.

Republic: The Republic of India after independence.

It is facing a series of serious problems, especially the sequelae of the partition of India and Pakistan. In the first year after independence, India and Pakistan were involved in a dispute over Kashmir.

And a military conflict broke out. Nehru.

During its time in power, India leaned towards socialism and formulated a five-year plan for economic development, modeled on the Soviet Union.

India won a resounding victory in the Third Indo-Pakistani War in 1971, but it also paid the political price of turning to the Soviet Union.

After the Japanese army captured Burma, it wanted to attack India in one go, but it was defeated by the Anglo-Indian coalition forces on the India-Burma border, so this battle alone cannot be said to have invaded India.

<> "Why didn't Japan dare to fight India in World War II?"

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan quickly formulated a military plan to conquer India and the countries of Southeast Asia. In order to quickly take these areas, Japan drew many first-class divisions from the base camp and the Chinese theater of operations, and even dispatched two flying groups.

Under the devastating blows of the Japanese army, the Malay Peninsula in the Philippines and Burma were soon fallen. Seeing that the Japanese army was about to capture India, it suddenly stopped. The main reasons for this are as follows:

At that time, India was fighting for independence, and the Congress Party held large-scale demonstrations for India's independence, and India's national consciousness gradually woke up.

As the Japanese army was about to pounce on India, the Congress reached a compromise with the British on the issue of sending troops. Japan had already declared war on the United States and Britain, and taking India was one of the established plans.

However, due to the fact that China sent an expeditionary force to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in Burma, to a certain extent, the Japanese army contained Japan's strategic attempts, and the Japanese army encountered various resistances in Southeast Asia, and in order to suppress the resistance, the Japanese army had to divide its troops to defend it, and the dispersion of troops caused the Japanese army to not have enough energy to attack India again. On the contrary, India has become a logistics and training base for the United States, Britain and China in the eastern theater.

In short, due to the need for a good bench in the anti-French alliance and the strategic situation, India was fortunate to have a catastrophe and the Japanese army did not capture India.

1. Confusion of self-confidence leads to lack of preparation: Japan did not give a combat plan after issuing the military industrial order, and only drew 100,000 people for the commander to play freely. In addition, they may have believed that they would soon be able to take India on their own, so they only prepared a month's rations.

Their self-confidence is really confusing.

2. The exaggerated commander: At that time, the Japanese commander was very unrealistic, and implemented this exaggeration into the soldiers, he claimed that his team could win the battle without supplies, I have to say that the Japanese army is really powerful, not only to deceive others, but to deceive their own people. And the commanders of the British army were even more experienced.

3. Luck and terrain: If you want to talk about the Japanese army, luck and terrain are not accounted for. When they arrived in India, due to the special climate of India and the arrival of the rainy season known as bacteria, the Japanese army was infected with a large number of diseases and lost at least half of its combat effectiveness.

But the supplies didn't keep up, so many people died. So the troops had to be withdrawn.

Because the Japanese army was not well prepared, and the generals who led the Japanese army were vain, and the time, place, and people were not in place, they withdrew their troops.

Because the Japanese army was not well prepared, and the later supplies were not enough, the troops were withdrawn.
