What did the outbreak of ez tell us about the Wu-E War?

Enlightenment of the outbreak of World War II to the Russian-Ukrainian War

The appeasement policy, the traditional mainstream force of the international community, will not stop this ambitious country, but will only increase its confidence, cultivate its strength, encourage it to take risks and accelerate the development of things in a newer direction.

Another big country that has formed strategic cooperation with the expanding countries seems to be able to sit aside and take the opportunity to do business with the expanding countries, and the people can also give sympathy and praise to the expanding places. But once an expanding country becomes strong, it will turn to attack a big country with a long border and pay a heavy price.

1938, Nazi foreign soldiers merged without bloodshed and began to pay attention to the next target of aggression: Czechoslovakia. There is always an excuse for aggression, so Sudetenland has entered the Fuehrer's field of vision.

In Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, near the border between the two countries, there were 300 Dovander people living at that time due to historical reasons. The Fuehrer instructed local Nazis and some people to demand "national autonomy" and "secession from Czechoslovakia". The Fuehrer secretly instructed the Soviet-German Nazis that "you should always put forward conditions that the Czech government cannot meet". The Soviet-German Nazis who got the news strictly carried out the requirements of the Fuehrer, and no matter how the Czech government made concessions, they could not meet each other.

So the Fuehrer claimed that these Germans had been "bullied" and wanted to "get justice" for them. Chen Bing was proud of the border and put on a show of hands.

At that time, Czechoslovakia was not a soft persimmon, but an industrial power, ranking seventh among the world's industrialized countries, second only to the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, France and Italy, and even higher than foreign countries.

Czechoslovakia's weapons industry is very developed. Skoda Arsenal was the second largest military enterprise in Europe after Krupp abroad at that time. The familiar "Made in Czech Republic" is ZB26 light machine tool produced by Czech State Ordnance Factory. It played a new role in China's war against Japanese invaders, and it was also the main light machine tool of the Volunteers in the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

The Czechs faced Hitler's threat of war unequivocally, relying on the fortifications built on the German-French border called "Little maginot line". Hitler was at a loss for a moment: fighting is a hard bone, and you may not win; If you don't fight, you can't get off the stage.

Since Czechoslovakia signed a mutual assistance treaty with Britain and France after World War I, if a foreign country goes to war with Czechoslovakia, Britain and France will inevitably be involved in the war according to the treaty. Foreign Minister Daladier decided to ask Foreign Minister Chamberlain to mediate.

1938 On the evening of March 13, Foreign Minister Chamberlain sent an urgent telegram to Hitler, saying that he wanted to see Hitler and hoped to "solve this problem peacefully". Hitler was naturally overjoyed to see that foreign countries were so popular, but he was treacherous and mysterious. After the old Chamberlain hurried abroad, he didn't come forward to meet him, but waited until Chamberlain arrived at the door of his villa before he made an eloquent appearance. Chamberlain, who was bullied in diplomatic etiquette, didn't take it seriously either. After calling on Hitler, he rushed back to London overnight and put pressure on the Czechoslovak government with foreigners to solve the problems in the Sudetenland region according to the principle of national self-determination.

But when Hitler met with Chamberlain on March 22nd, he put forward a new demand: Czechoslovakia should be dissolved and returned to Poland, Hungary and abroad. Among them, areas with Germans as the main residents are bound to be occupied by foreign countries. After several discussions, Hitler finally asked Czechs, as ethnic minorities, to leave the Sudetenland before March 1 year. In this regard, the tough Czechoslovak government refused.

Seeing that blackmail failed, Hitler declared on March 26th that Sudetenland was his last territorial claim to Europe. On March 27th, Hitler ordered seven German divisions to enter the frontier position of the German-Czech border. Due to the deadline, Czechoslovakia, which had no intention of accepting the request, ordered the immediate recruitment of 65,438+0,000 soldiers as a precaution. The dispute seems to be on the verge of exploding.

On March 29th, Chamberlain flew abroad for the second time. On that day, the summit of Germany, Italy, Britain and France attended by Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain and Daladier was held in Munich, and the meeting stipulated that the Sudetenland should be "transferred" to foreign countries. Czechoslovakia, which ceded territory, has no right to attend the meeting. This is the famous Munich Agreement.

On March 30, the Czechoslovak government rejected the agreement, but Britain and France said that if the Czechoslovak government did not agree, then Britain and France had no obligation to help defend the Czech Republic. Finally, the Czechoslovak government compromised and agreed to cede the Sudetenland.

Chamberlain returned to London in high spirits. He was warmly cheered by the people as a hero triumphed. He made an impromptu speech and waved an agreement to the people, claiming that "I brought peace to our times." The people were also enthusiastic and sang "He is a wonderful man" in unison, and Chamberlain burst into tears.

Chamberlain waved that unlucky piece of paper, which was the so-called Munich Agreement. Please note that there is only one piece of paper, which was drafted by Chamberlain. Hitler signed it casually, and Chamberlain believed it.

However, Hitler never intended to stop there. The following year, Hitler informed Czechoslovakia that according to the current situation, Czechoslovakia should be merged into foreign countries immediately. The strength of the Czech Republic, which lost the Sudetenland, was greatly reduced, surrounded by Nazi foreign countries on three sides and unable to resist.

1March 939 15, Nazi foreign countries locked Czechoslovakia President Hacha and Foreign Minister Cecchi Valkovsky in a conference room of Nazi foreign countries. Foreign Minister ribbentrop and Air Force Marshal Goering took turns to go into battle, putting pressure on them like gangsters, chasing after them around the conference table and forcing agreements and pens into their hands again and again for signature. Old President Hacha disagreed with this scene and fainted. Morrel, Hitler's personal doctor, woke up after giving him a shot in the arm, and was placed in front of Hitler to sign an agreement agreeing to the integration of Czechoslovakia into foreign countries, only five months before the Sudetenland was incorporated into foreign countries.

In the so-called communique of the talks between the two sides, it was described as follows: "During the talks, the head of state and the president studied the serious situation in Czechoslovakia in a frank spirit. The Czech President declared that in order to maintain peace and tranquility in the Czech Republic, he confidently handed over the fate of the Czech Republic to foreign heads of state. The head of state accepted it and expressed his willingness to put the Czech people under his own protection to ensure their autonomy and development. "

After the annexation of Czechoslovakia, Nazi foreign power increased greatly. Five months later, foreign countries invaded Poland and World War II broke out. At that time, the so-called mainstream forces in the world, Britain and France, suffered their own consequences. The foreign country died in a month, and the foreign country was devastated. They managed to hold the island by relying on their powerful navy. However, under the great pressure of Nazi foreign countries, they had to take out all their possessions and ask their foreign cousins for help. When they won World War II, they also lost their global maritime hegemony and became second-rate places.

The Soviet Union, another big country, seemed to have nothing to do with Nazi's external expansion before the war. It watched the fire from the other side and signed a non-aggression treaty with the Nazis, forming a de facto strategic cooperation link. The Soviet Union took the opportunity to annex Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, three Baltic countries, and carve up Poland together with Nazi foreign countries. The two sides also did big business. The Soviet Union bought many foreign weapons, such as Walter P-38 hand tools used by KGB to execute Polish prisoners of war in Katyn Forest.

As a result, after Hitler settled Western Europe, he set himself free to invade the Soviet Union the next year, and the largest war broke out in human history. On the long Soviet-German border, Hitler's 5.5 million troops broke through from three directions: north, middle and south. At the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union was defeated and suffered huge losses. With the help of the world's anti-fascist forces, it finally withstood the German army and won after making great sacrifices.

Demon is cultivated, and appeasement policy is his new cultural medium. Killing the devil in the cradle will cost much less. Once it grows up, the power of justice may have to pay a higher price to regain peace. Those who watch the fire from the other side at the beginning of the expansion of the devil, or even wave the flag and shout, will eventually taste the bitter fruit. I hope peace-loving people can learn from history and take it as a warning.
