二戰後日本為何沒有像德國那樣分裂？
第二次世界大戰後，日本在道格拉斯·麥克阿瑟將軍的指揮下被美國及其盟國佔領。美國沒有像德國那樣分裂國家，而是對日本實行非軍事化和民主化政策。其中包括起草一部新憲法，放棄戰爭並將天皇的角色限制為象徵性的。此外，實施了經濟改革計劃，有助於刺激日本經濟的快速成長和發展。這導致日本成為世界上最繁榮和最強大的國家之一。
嚴格來說，日本帝國確實分裂了。在領土上，日本帝國像德國一樣被瓜分，儘管麥克阿瑟不像德國人在盟國和蘇聯手中遭受的苦難那樣對日本人民懷有報復性。
首先是戰後日本領土變更一覽表。
- 幾十年來，韓國一直是日本帝國的一部分。日本人在不同時期試圖在文化上同化韓國，而有時則試圖阻止這種情況。可以說，韓國人對日本人的地位類似於幾百年前愛爾蘭人對英國人的地位。也許即使是征服者威廉領導下的諾曼人也可以與英國人進行恰當的比較。無論如何，韓國從日本分裂出來，然後被美國和蘇聯瓜分。美國管理的部分現在是韓國，或是正式的大韓民國。蘇聯管理的部分是朝鮮，或正式的朝鮮人民共和國。
- 沖繩島曾是日本帝國的一部分約 75 年。它實際上被美國吞併，直到 1972 年歸還日本。除了沖繩之外，還有其他一些島嶼，例如硫磺島，都被視為日本的一部分。
- 大約 75 年前，台灣從中國被奪走。日本人和韓國人一樣，有時會採取措施試圖同化台灣，有時則不會。不管怎樣，在中國內戰結束之前，它都被置於美國管理之下。台灣現在幾乎是中華民國唯一的殘餘。
- 蘇聯吞併了日本控制下的千島群島和薩哈林島部分地區。這些被認為是日本的一部分。
- 日本擁有太平洋上許多島嶼的國際聯盟託管地。這些已移交給美國政府。現在包括帛琉、密克羅尼西亞、馬紹爾群島和美國北馬裡亞納聯邦。
好吧，沖繩、千島群島和薩哈林島的一部分被認為是日本失去的一部分。此外，有幾個主要領土，如韓國和台灣，考慮到日本偶爾會試圖在文化上同化它們，它們不僅僅是殖民地。然後他們失去了實際的殖民地以及各種附庸國和傀儡國。他們失去了帝國，只剩下被外國控制的被炸毀的家園。據我了解，這件事並沒有像德國那樣以報復性的方式處理，但這似乎是關於分割戰敗敵人的問題，而不是對這些部分的治理。所以，日本帝國的領土劃分就像納粹德國一樣。
摩根索計劃。是的，它很早就被拒絕了，因為西歐都相信另一場世界大戰即將來臨。因此，我們的假設是統一西德，並建立防火牆來削弱蘇聯軍隊，直到法國、英國、義大利和美國做出反應。最初的計劃是在德國和義大利北部採用焦土政策來減緩他們的前進速度，使用馬克四號、五號和六號核彈的集合（當時歐洲只有幾十枚），對入侵的軍隊進行打擊。 。即便如此，他們也知道蘇聯的實力要大得多，在美國、加拿大和英國能夠向歐洲提供足夠的戰爭物資來阻止他們之前，美國和盟國會看到他們佔領德國、低地國家、法國北部和義大利北部。 。到那時，美國將在歐洲擁有足夠的原子彈，可以開始向蘇聯的關鍵地點（從中東、日本和希臘/土耳其）投擲原子彈。
The US fought the war in the Pacific pretty much on its own. It wanted it that way. It kept the Brits, Aussies and Kiwis isolated to side areas. The reason is the US saw the Common Wealth wanting to reassert it colonial control and the US was having none of that. There was a constant struggle between FDR and Churchill over he matter. To solve some of it and to throw a bone to the Brits, Mountbatten was placed as CIC of the China Burma India theater. But as far as the Pacific went that was a sideshow and only pursued to keep China in the war and millions of Japanese troops tied down.
When Japan
If by you mean divided into occupation zones like in Germany.
Then that’s probably because the US doesn’t like communism and Russia then(still don’t now but that’s an answer for another question.)
And the fact that Russia barely contributed to the invasion of the Japanese home islands itself so hooray for the US of having a “legitimate excuse” of keeping them out.
To get an idea of what China was up against, let us benchmark China’s performance against other Allied nations who fought against Japan.
French: Japan routed the French out of Indochina within ONE week. Just in case you think it's a freak result, the Nazis routed the French in France in a month.
British: Japan routed the British out of Malaysia and Singapore within 2 months, the Japanese totaling ~30,000 soldiers while the British had ~90,000 soldiers.
Combined British, Dutch, USA, Australian Forces: ~150,000 of them fought against 50,000 Japanese troops and were routed within 3 months.
USA: Ameri
Industry
The Soviet Union was able to, thanks to its enormous strategic depth, establish an industrial base far from Germany's military strike capability. The United Kingdom was able to keep her factories running at home, and had a vast colonial empire to supply her and her allies with raw materials. The United States had an industrial base entirely untouched throughout all of the war. Germany, on the other hand, had terrible troubles with her supply lines both for her military and for her industry, and failed to totally mobilize her industry in the way that the USA or USSR did, since doin
There were several reasons. First, this was not Japan’s second strike like Germany’s.
Second, Japan was an island with no borders for occupying countries.
Third, most of the war in the Pacific was fought by the US. Britain did contribute and the Soviets did not enter the war until August 9, 1945.
The main reason was to keep the Soviets out. The US did not want the Soviets to gain control or a sphere of influence over Japan. Plus the US needed Japan as an ally in the Pacific against the Soviets.
Italy’s biggest error in WW2 was getting into the war in the first place, since it was in no shape to fight one. The only one of its fighting services that was in anything like modern condition was the Regia Marina but, even there, the navy was left as something of a sitting duck by lack of radar, a naval air arm or decent cover from the inadequate Regia Aeronautica.
The Air Force’s front line fighter was a biplane, the Fiat CR.42 ‘Falco’, and while it had some reasonably up to date aircraft, such as the Macchi C.202, coming into service, there were too few of them and all ridiculously under-ar
Well, it’s difficult to answer, but one picture says more than a thousand words:
It is the Tiergarten, the big park in central Berlin. Look it up on Google Maps. It’s a lush green place full of waterways and meadows. In May 1945 it looked like a desert. Not because of the bombing or the Soviet artillery, but because almost every single tree had been cut down the winter before by Berliners desperate to find something to heat their homes with.
May 1945 was referred to as ‘Stunde null’ or zero hour. Everything, literally everything in Germany was destroyed, the whole country was a rubble. Of course
Because the rapid surrender of Japan in August, 1945, permitted the Allies to exclude Stalin from major influence at the peace treaty table. It was abundantly clear that when Stalin's arrived, they stayed…permanently. They still control some Japanese northern islands. Had the war lasted longer, forcing Operation Downfall and, inevitably, Soviet participation in that ugly event, it's almost a certainty that the Japan that eventually surrendered would have been partitioned and Western Pacific politics would have been irreparably changed moving forward.
People don't really know what was the situation of Japan after the war. Japan had no natural resources on top of that every japanese cities were bombed, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen because there was no other cities left that was still in good condition and didn't suffered much damage from bombing.
People were starving as bombing destroyed most of the food supplies.
A country destroyed by bombing, cities were ruined, no shelter and starving population with no natural resources. Who would want that Country
Because of what President Harry Truman did, and
What Premier Joseph Stalin didn’t do in July-August of 1945.
Seventy-three years later, the major thing most people miss is how much pressure Truman was under to end the war. Even with the conflict in Europe over, he had to raise the monthly draft to 100,000, very unpopular politically. Operation Downfall was looking more and more dicey.
At Tehran and again at Yalta, Roosevelt had laid the groundwork to get the Soviets into the war with Japan. He was willing to concede to Stalin territorial gains in the Far East—including the Kurile islands and half
