After World War I, France advocated severe punishment of Germany, but why was it strongly opposed by

Severe punishment of Germany would mean that France would become the first power on the European continent, which would destabilize Britain's position in Europe and harm American interests. After all, neither country wants to have an adversary that will not be easy to deal with after Germany. Therefore, Britain and the United States opposed France's idea of severely punishing Germany.

Because if Germany were to be punished severely, France's power would swell rapidly, and neither Britain nor the United States would want to see a country on their footing.

Because at that time, if severe punishment had been imposed, it was likely to lead to the complete decline of Germany. So Britain and the United States are strenuously opposed.

To be honest, the landlord, it can't be said that it can't be dealt with. I just couldn't stick to it.

In the most difficult years of the United Kingdom, the Queen of England was also rationed with food. It can only be said that Germany did not grasp 3 opportunities, which led to the later shift of the strategic center to the East, allowing the British to survive.

At the first opportunity, Dunkirk retreated, did not rush to kill, and let more than 10 British soldiers run back to Britain for home defense in vain. If they are killed, it will be basically difficult for the British to mobilize more than 10 W regular troops, and it will make the future of Africa much better.

The second time was the air battle of Britain, the strategic thinking was not clear, and it was possible to simply believe that Goering's pure air force tactics could destroy the British? ? In the end, only a few W of old pilots could be lost in vain, and the bombing sites were often scattered, almost the entire territory was bombed. It looked like they were beaten everywhere, but the result was that none of them were disabled.

Later, it was also said that the British actually survived almost, and the pilots who could fly at that time all went up, and in the last 2 weeks of the Battle of Britain, the British themselves were calculating that the Americans would be ready to surrender if they did not enter the war within 1 month, but the intelligence department was all bullshit?? I can't get any rumors, in fact, I can't hold on to the British for another week.

The third time was the early days of the wolf pack tactical application, the success of the submarine was accidental and inevitable, when the number of British and American destroyers was insufficient, and the gap was greatly unable to meet the needs of escorts, but with the manufacturing capacity of Britain and the United States 2? Two years was enough to turn the situation around, but it was not possible to judge well and seize the favorable opportunity to sign an agreement with the British, or to call the landing operation. I just went to open the eastern front and invested more than 100 w people, and the result was very clear.

Britain has become a springboard to Europe, and Germany is powerless.

There are several reasons for this.

1 German naval forces lagged behind the British, creating an obstacle to the landing.

2 Defeat to Britain in the Battle of Britain. Although the Luftwaffe surpassed Britain in quantity and quality at that time, due to the invention of air defense radar by the British, the initiative in air combat was greatly tilted in favor of the defending side, which led to the defeat of the air battle.

3 Above all, the USSR was ready to move behind Germany's back. Before the invasion of the Soviet Union, all German officers were equipped with British maps, but there was never enough time and strategic space to free up their hands to invade Britain.

On the whole, Germany did not dare to attack Britain with all its strength, and it could not destroy Britain with one hand, so it had to attack the Soviet Union with all its might.

Throughout the history of the world, we can find that in fact, Britain and France, two countries that rose together at almost the same time, the strength of the two countries is not much different, and it can even be said that France is more powerful than Britain in some time periods. For example, France, under the leadership of Napoleon, once successfully swept across Europe, and the British were naturally not their opponents. However, there is a problem that arises at this point.

During World War II, under the leadership of Hitler, the Germans swept through the entire European region, and many countries, including France, were successfully occupied by the Germans. However, although the British were also attacked by the Germans, they never surrendered, and even in the face of German bombardment, the British always persevered. As a result, Germany fought for five years, but did not take Britain, but finally put itself in it.

Seeing this, some friends may not understand, the Germans can defeat France in less than a month, why can't they take it when facing Britain, which is about the same strength as France? In fact, Yuan Sun Ziyin is very simple, mainly because the German navy is not an opponent of others. We know that most of the great powers that have risen in modern times are navies, and the British navy has once reached the top of the world.

However, the strength of the Germans is mainly reflected in the combat effectiveness of their land forces and advanced tactical play, and the navy has always been their shortcoming. Coincidentally, Britain had an English Channel, and Germany had only two ways to defeat Britain, one was to use its navy to defeat it head-on, and the other was to send its own land forces to British soil. Unfortunately, neither option is feasible.

With the strength of the German Navy, it was naturally impossible to defeat the British head-on, and they were even more unable to break through the British Navy's defenses and transport their ground forces to British soil. If Germany's first-class army cannot go up, it will not be able to give full play to its real combat effectiveness, and in such a situation, it will naturally be difficult for them to take down Britain. So, the Germans had no choice but to rely on the air force to bomb them.

It was the only way they could think of it, but unfortunately, bombing was not an effective way to destroy the enemy. In the face of the German bombing, people drilled into the bomb shelter, but they did not surrender, and the Germans had no way to do this, so they had no choice but to continue bombing. Unfortunately, the Germans bombed for five years, and instead of getting the British to surrender, they took themselves in.

Before the start of the war in France in May 1940, the British had 10 divisions (nine of which were deployed in northern France) under the command of JGort. Later, due to the deterioration of the fighting situation, they withdrew to the mainland on May 26 and June 4, and lost all their heavy equipment (see Dunkirk Retreat).

In an attempt to turn the tide, three of the divisions returned to France in mid-June to fight alongside the French, but were eventually outnumbered and withdrawn to their homeland.

Answer]: BBritain's policy has always been the continental balance of power, especially between Germany and France. The Treaty of Versailles attributed all the blame for the war to Germany, which caused the British to feel sympathy and guilt for Germany.

More importantly, Britain misunderstood that France wanted to regain hegemony on the European continent, and opposed too much weakening of Germany in order to contain France.

Britain** sent an official note to the German Governor Ribbentrop, demanding that Germany** cease all acts of aggression against Poland and withdraw its troops from Polish territory immediately, failing which His Majesty the British Crown** would not hesitate to fulfil its obligations to Poland. At 10 p.m. on the same day, France also sent a note of the exact same wording to Germany.

Subsequently, in order to seek negotiations with Germany, the foreign ministers of the two countries and the British ambassador to Germany repeatedly stated that this note was not an ultimatum, but only a warning. They did so because they wanted nothing more than to escape their obligations to Poland, which was being brutally invaded by Nazi Germany.

Under the tremendous pressure of the collapse of the country, Britain issued an ultimatum to Germany at 9 a.m. on 3 September, stating that if Germany did not respond satisfactorily by 11 a.m., the two countries would be at war from that time onwards.

It was not until noon on September 3 that France reluctantly issued an ultimatum to Germany, and the deadline for the ultimatum was 17 p.m. on the same day.

Germany refused to accept the ultimatum of Britain and France, so Britain and France, which had become a tiger, declared war on Germany at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively on September 3. On the same day, India, Australia, and New Zealand also declared war on Germany.
