Japan is stronger than Germany? Why did Japan dare to ask for the four northern islands, but Germany

It may be a factor of geographical conditions, and there are two places in the north of the four islands, one of which is an archipelago, and Kaliningrad is a continentMoreover, at that time, the defeated countries of Germany in World War II were divided and divided, so Germany did not dare to ask for it.

The attitude of the backers is different

As a result of World War II, both Kaliningrad and the South Kuril Islands, although they were "taken away" by the USSR, were recognized by the Allies, in other wordsJapan and Germany, as defeated countries, had to accept it.

Germany recognized it, because after World War II, it lost not only East Prussia, but all the land east of the Oder River. Moreover, after World War II, Germany was torn apart, and then it evolved into a confrontation between the two GermanysGermany was even less able to negotiate with the victorious powers on the question of the complete return of the lost territories.

Compared to the tragic experience of Germany, Japan does not seem to be any better, except for the four mainland islands, the rest of the illegally occupied land by Japan must be returned in its entirety, including the southern part of Sakhalin and the South Kuril Islands. So the Soviets quickly recovered Sakhalin and the South Kuril Islands, and prepared to land in Hokkaido from the north. However, due to the severe threat of the United States, the Soviet Union finally retreated, but the South Kuril Islands were completely incorporated into the territory of the Soviet Union.

Although Poland and Russia have always been at odds with each other in the international community because of their feuds, they were able to stand side by side against Germany on the territorial issue, which further complicated the Kaliningrad issue. In contrast, the issue of the South Kuril Islands is only a three-way game between the United States, Russia and Japan, which is really simple and clear.

The South Kuril Islands are not only a land area, a mineral production area, and an important military base for Japan, but also an important means for Japanese politicians to buy the hearts and minds of their own people.

For the island nation of Japan, any island is valuable and meaningful, so inShowing the belief that every inch of land will be fought for in front of the Japanese people is an important means of increasing its own popularity.

In such a situation, even if Germany plucked up the courage to call for Sokaliningrad, Russia would not be moved. And it will be attacked by small neighboring countries, which is much more pressure than Japan。So Japan is still clamoring, and Germany is still silent.

Japan is not as strong as Germany. Because Japan did not admit the crimes of World War II, while Germany had a good attitude of admitting mistakes.

Japanese militarism has not been extinguished, while Germany has deeply reflected on the bitter lessons of World War II and believes that World War II was absolutely wrong, and now they have stopped developing towards militarism.

It is not a question of not daring to ask for it, but that Germany has given up the territorial sovereignty of Königsberg and has no reason to ask for it again; Japan has not formally renounced its territorial sovereignty over the four northern islands, so it sees no reason for it to want it.

Japan is no stronger than Germany, it's just that Germany understands very well that now they want Kaliningrad, it is simply impossible to achieve it.

Japan is stronger than Germany, and it is another Japanese blow.

The reason why Japan dares to ask for the four northern islands, but Germany does not dare to ask for Kaliningrad, is because Japan has strength, but Germany does not.

Japan dares to ask for the four northern islands because it has the support of the Yankees behind it, and Germany does not dare to ask for Kaliningrad because it does not have the support of a superpower.

It's not a question of whether they dare or not, it's whether the Germans are more or less faceless than the Japanese.

Why did Japan dare to ask for the four northern islands, but Germany did not dare to ask for Kaliningrad?

Completely different geographical location.

This is probably similar to the reason why my country did not want Haishanwei.

After World War II, Germany was torn apart, and then it turned into a confrontation between the two Germanys, and Germany was even less able to negotiate with the victorious countries on the question of the complete return of the lost territory.

It is illegal for Germans to salute or defend Nazis.

The Japanese are paying tribute to the Class A war criminals of World War II.

Part of the Japanese right wing did not admit its war crimes and the fact of defeat.

Because their military capabilities are different, and the management system is also different, they dare not ask for it

Germany was already scared, and he didn't dare to ask for it.

I majored in history and geography, so I know a little bit about this. Personally, I think the reasons are as follows:

1. From the perspective of geographical location, the South Kuril Islands (called the four northern islands in Japan) are geographically important and are located in Japan
