Why do developed countries always like to bully or even invade weak or backward countries?

The correct statement should be: corruption will be beaten!

Historical records tell us that ethnic groups in backward areas can defeat advanced but corrupt ethnic groups and countries. Take the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1895 as an example. In the Qing Dynasty, China was not inferior to Japan in "national strength" and weapons strength, but we were not only defeated, but also completely annihilated.

Qing Dynasty was ignored in "Gold Digging in Great Powers", and we are still enjoying selling land of Qing Dynasty.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. China's national power in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty was many times greater than that of the Qing Dynasty, but it was defeated again and again until the civil war broke out and perished.

Therefore, the topic of being beaten for falling behind is incorrect. His bad reaction to us is that, like the late Qing Dynasty, he only studied western science and technology, not social science system.

Corruption will lead to backwardness, backwardness will lead to beatings, but corruption alone will also lead to beatings. As long as the people of the whole country are corrupt, it will be finished. A preliminary phenomenon of corruption is that they think they are too big to make progress, and stability will overwhelm progress.

You will be beaten if you fall behind.

China, an ancient oriental civilization, was once in the forefront of the world. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, western powers gradually stepped into capitalism through the industrial revolution, while China still stood still, leading to the emergence of backward capitalist powers represented by Britain, France and the United States. Through the "man-eating" enclosure movement, a large amount of original capital was accumulated, which promoted the rapid development of workshop handicraft industry and later machine industry. In the 17 and 18 centuries, China successively gained political power through bourgeois revolution, while at the late Qianlong period, political corruption, lax military equipment, financial difficulties, sharp class contradictions and declining national strength. In particular, the ruling clique of the Qing Dynasty was arrogant and closed its eyes, always dreaming of going to China. Because of its self-sufficient economy, it believes that "China is rich in products and has everything, and it does not borrow foreign goods to make up for what it needs." At the same time, they are afraid that the contact between foreign businessmen and the coastal people of China is not conducive to their own rule. Therefore, the Qing government always adopted a closed-door policy in foreign trade, which cut off normal exchanges with foreign countries and curbed the economic and capitalist budding development of China's domestic commodity trade. Therefore, in the later period of time, China was blind and ignorant about the politics, economy, military and culture of western countries, completely losing the possibility of learning advanced foreign things, thus seriously hindering the development of China society. Among many capitalist countries, Britain has the highest degree of development, and its desire to open up markets and expand colonies is also the most prominent. In order to meet the needs of its own development, it is urgent to open the big market of China to plunder raw materials and dump goods. However, the Sino-British trade surplus greatly annoyed the British invaders, who concentrated all their anger on the Qing government's closed-door policy. In order to open the door to China, the long-planned Opium War broke out in 1840. The British invaders who coveted China for a long time bombarded the gate of China, forcing the Qing government to sign the first unequal treaty in China's history-treaty of nanking. From then on, Britain, France, the United States and other countries began to colonize and plunder China for half a century.

What history has left us is not only a bloody lesson, but also a painful thinking. Why can British colonists invade us? That's because we are too backward. As the saying goes, "with deep pockets", only when there is money, in other words, only when the economy is developed, can we speak internationally. Especially in today's high-speed development of science and technology, all countries in the world are scrambling to develop their own economies, and China should not lag behind, because we know that if we don't use high-tech knowledge to develop our own economy, we will be excluded by other countries, so that we have no place to stand. Therefore, economic development is the strong material backing of our country.

Napoleon once said: China is a sleeping lion. Once he wakes up, he will shock the world. We are a cross-century generation, shouldering the heavy responsibility of building the motherland. We can't bear heavy expectations and prove to the world that China people are amazing. The lion of the Chinese nation made William. Stand in the forest of nations in the world!

There is no more painful example than the Opium War.

However, it is one-sided to be beaten behind.

The red army is backward, but it often wins battles; The PLA is backward and not afraid of the US military; Furthermore, when firearms were developed in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty won the world with bows and spears (at that time, firearms in the Ming Dynasty were almost neck and neck with the West, Taiwan Province Province was shot down from the Netherlands with artillery, and Napoleon's artillery evolved from China's artillery).

It is not because you fell behind when you wanted to win the world with bows and arrows in the Qing Dynasty, but because you were helpless in front of thousands of Eight-Nation Alliance, it was as simple as that. 65438+100000 fighters just harassed day and night, dragging and killing thousands of little thieves. Firearms were so developed during World War I that many cavalry units were reserved by western powers. Look at the first cavalry unit and see how steel is tempered, and you will know that cavalry is still effective against firearms. The weapons of the Red Army were much better than those of Eight-Nation Alliance, but they were still cut by cavalry. ((194 1) The 4th Division of the New Fourth Army fought fiercely with the 8th Division of Qinghai Riding, which was controlled by Tang, west of Jinpu Road. More than 5,000 officers and men of the 4th Division of the New Fourth Army died of sabre, and the famous old 32nd Regiment was almost wiped out. The saddest thing is that there were more than 50 students in the anti-high branch here at that time. In hand-to-hand combat, the enemy at once has a great advantage. They galloped like the wind, and their sharp sabres were all within the control of the cavalry for dozens of meters. )) There are even more examples in Feng Wanzhen, where the disadvantages of firearms in close combat are exposed. Unfortunately, there are no heroes, no generals who can command the army to win, but they use mud to break the jokes of foreigners' witchcraft.

What's going on here? It can only be said that the backwardness of weapons and equipment is only one of the factors that affect the war. If this influence is not enough to change the balance of power, it is not enough to control the victory or defeat.
