A small moment for the Pacific conquest
Consequently of the first great World War, after the Treaty of Versailles, the group of allies of the door closed the door in the improper of Japan, who just wanted to be recognized as power and its social class, but it was like that to culminate this war sowing a new threat to the group of allies.
Apart from I just observed and I wait Imperial millenary had the right to expand, those who one day were their allies, would be their enemies, since they sowed this discord, as one of the great fault and with sequence of the first great World War.
Without so much Japan controversy, he decides to invade China, being clear, that it was more numbers than them, but they were not as technologically developed as this, and more than China had an international economic dependence with the United States and Great Britain, it would be considered as a Strategic Measure to begin its expansion of its imperial state. Japan recognized the resistance of the millenary China, but use all the necessary resources, for the conquest of it, without matters the life that would be lost in it, it was the trophy of its expansion of its empire.
Conquest of Southeast Asia almost all of Southeast Asia, a area rich in natural resources, was in the possession of three colonial powers: Great Britain, France and Holland. The defeat of France and the Netherlands in June 1940 at the hands of the Germans, and what seemed to be the imminent defeat of Great Britain, opened new opportunities to the Japanese. This then gave the situation to expand in Southeast Asia and create a protector in every region:
- The Japanese occupied air bases in French Indochina, with the agreement of the Vichy government (helped by the intimidating hand of the Germans, who threatened to do terrible things if Vichy’s government did not access).
- China’s short Japan to supply by Haiphong.
- Japan threatens Britain with the war if the supply route of Burma remained open. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, unwanted to face two enemies in the media of the most serious crisis in the Nation, Cerro La Vía. Now China was alone.
To think of seeing all these actions the United States maintained its neutrality and diplomacy on assuming a war action, since its nation served as great industrial support in World War II, as in the case of the Henry Ford’s car industry, because He was in full action at war in Europe, the demand for vehicle decreased, they gave him a turn with his engines, they began to manufacture war vehicle and tanks, to keep this industry positioned and support the group of allies who were at war. But neutrality would end soon, when Japan felt in front of the United States, in the attack by Pearl Harbor, which would mark with blood with many innocent sailors, without knowing this attack planned by the Japanese empire.
The attack the war arrived in the United States at 7:55 a.m.m; In the morning of a quiet Sunday of Perl Harbol, Hawaii. The base of the island of Oahu was host of its Pacific fleet and about 50.000 soldiers. The greatest concentration of US forces in the Pacific was in Pearl Harbor. A fleet of six Japanese aircraft carriers and escort vessel. They had to inflict as much damage to the fleet. Their whites were, especially, the battleships and the two US carriers, also sought to destroy parked airplanes on land.
It must be recognized that it was one of the most influential strategy of the Japanese impero, in the conquest of the Pacific, it achieves it, it is where the American comes into play, it will be felt as power in weapons of mass destruction and technology, detonating the bomb Atomic in Japanese soil, without consent, of nothing very dismissed, something that Japan knew that the United States was not going to be left with its great loss, just death about more death, makes you feel who intimidates more about who has, The best way to defend itself, but who has the best way to value the life of humanity, only remains what we can think about this moment in history, that we cannot change, just reflect, to improve what one day could be have avoided.
