In Vietnam, which returned to French colonial rule, 700 to 800 Japanese soldiers remained and weapons such as aircraft and tanks were left behind. Kwangai Army Junior High School was established in 1946 during the Vietnam Independence War. At some military schools, military education was conducted by former Japanese Army officers and non-commissioned officers. Some of the former Japanese soldiers who died in the Vietnam Independence War have been honored at the Martyr's Cemetery. Some Japanese soldiers who returned to Japan were later awarded a medal by Vietnam. In addition, we will continue to maintain friendly relations between the two countries by establishing organizations such as the Japan-Vietnam Trade Association and the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Association

Operation Ichi-Go is an operation conducted by the Japanese Army on the Chinese mainland from April 17th to December 10th, 1944 during the Sino-Japanese War. It was the last major offensive of the Japanese Army, which caused the National Revolutionary Army to be hit hard and affected during the Chinese Civil War. However, on the other hand, the United States is also mediating the conclusion of the Double Tenth Agreement with Chiang Kai-shek in order to avoid a civil war. According to a study by Barbara W. Tuchman, the results of this operation had a more significant impact on the subsequent war situation than the Japanese had imagined, and had a decisive impact on Japan's fate. According to it, Franklin Roosevelt has consistently strongly trusted and supported Chiang Kai-shek since the beginning of the war, and encouraged him in the war against Japan so that he would not drop out of the Allies in a single peace with Japan during the Cairo Conference. However, he said that he changed his mind because the front of Chiang Kai-shek collapsed due to this operation. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has not been invited to important Allied conferences ("Yalta Conference" and "Potsdam Conference") since then. According to the Stilwell document, Roosevelt said, "Can China win?" Stilwell said, "There is no choice but to eliminate Chiang Kai-shek." During the 1944 Hengyang battle, he could not sleep at night and twice. He says he thought about suicide. The American side also planned to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, and three methods of "poisoning", "aircraft incident", and "pretending to be suicide" were considered, but it was canceled in 1944 due to changes in the international situation such as Burma. The successor that the United States envisioned is Sun Fountain. As Roosevelt's Chief of Staff George Marshall and General Joseph Stilwell have long insisted, Chiang Kai-shek's army is actually a demoralized and corrupt organization that does not form an army. It became clear that he had no desire or ability to fight with the United States and other Allied forces. As a result, President Roosevelt changed the scenario of the operation against Japan from the conventional bombing of Japan and other countries from the air bases of mainland China to the one that MacArthur and others claimed to occupy the islands of the Pacific Ocean one after another. China was dismissed at the Yalta Conference, and the Allied nation's footsteps were disturbed, with angry Chiang Kai-shek presenting a peace plan to Japan against the will of the United States. The Japanese Operation Ichi-Go attack left the National Revolutionary Army with 750,000 casualties. This caused the Kuomintang to lose to the Communist Party in the civil war. China would not have been dominated by the dictatorship Communist Party if it had made peace with Japan and cooperated in protecting it from communism.

Mr. Hiroshi Funasaka, who survived the smashing battle on Angaur Island in Palau, wrote that the U.S. military's attack method was to first shoot naval gunfire and drop bombs from aircraft, and destroy them thoroughly with bombs. After trying, it was always the "black infantry unit" that landed and came out where the Japanese army hit. Since it is a war, the leading infantry will be shot. And when the first unit is shot, the enemy's whereabouts are known. Once you know it, attack it with naval gunfire. And only when the Japanese bullets stopped flying, white mopping troops appeared on the front line. Actual appearances like this rarely appear on TV and movies. Only the scene where a white soldier bravely shoots a gun and fights against the Japanese army is broadcast. However, in actual battles, black soldiers are always hunted in dangerous places where enemy bullets can reach. You might think that it was during the war, and that it was 70 years ago. However, in the 1955's and 1940's when I was a boy, racial discrimination by white people was still deep-rooted, and it was only this that Americans began to treat black people as people. It's only recently, decades ago. At the Paris Peace Conference of World War I held in 1919, Japan clearly insisted on "elimination of racial discrimination" by Japan's Makino Nobuaki. The yellow race and the black people are the same people. He claimed that human dignity is the same for all humankind. That is why I proposed to the League of Nations Charter to advocate the elimination of racial discrimination. There is a person named William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. He is an American, he was born in Massachusetts in 1868 and died in 1963. This Dubois is the first black American to have a PhD at Harvard University. He is also a civil rights leader in the United States, a pioneer of pan-Africanism and black nationalism, and a founder of the NAACP. He was in 1936 (Showa 11). He stayed in Manchuria for a week, China for 10 days, and Japan for two weeks, and serialized a column entitled "Unforgettable Experiences" in the Pittsburgh Clear newspaper. The following is his experience posted at that time. One day, Dubois was paying at the front desk at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. There, a "very typical American Caucasian woman" interrupts in front of him, as if it were natural. However, the front desk staff at the hotel did not look at the women and continued to respond to Dubois. When all the bills were over, he bowed deeply towards Dubois and then finally turned to the brazen American woman. With the resolute attitude of the front desk staff, Dubois foresaw the dawn of a new world that was different from the world of white rule. He says. He said, "An individual who is never welcomed in her native America, The Japanese were delighted and welcomed from the bottom of my heart. The Japanese are 12 million black Americans, Being of the same color, experiencing the same suffering 、 Having the same fate, It understands from the bottom of my heart. " In 1919, when World War I ended, a peace conference was held in Paris. The Paris Peace Conference was also a conference to create an "League of Nations" so that the devastation of World War I would not be repeated again. At that time, Japan was the focus of the black Americans. Japan participated in the peace conference with a proposal to include the "Principle of Racial Equality" in the Covenant of the League of Nations. The Japanese plenipotentiary delegation stops in New York on its way to Paris. At this time, four leaders of the black society, including the editor-in-chief of the Boston Guardian, Monroe Trotter, pleaded for their efforts to "eliminate all racism and prejudice in the world." , I will send it to the Japanese delegation. President Wilson of the United States is chairing the peace conference, but aside from that, he is pleading with the Japanese delegation. "We (US) blacks About "race issues" at the peace conference For Japan, which is fighting fierce debate It pays the utmost respect. " This is a comment released by the American Black Newspaper Association. The black American society, which suffers from racial discrimination, regarded Japan, which is a colored race but has joined the ranks of the world's major powers, as a flagship for racial equality. At the Paris Peace Conference, Japan's "Racial Discrimination Elimination Bill" was dismissed by the sophistry of US President Wilson, who was the chairman, with a vote of 11 out of 16 countries. Blacks across the United States are angry at the actions of their governments and launch a series of massive riots that injure tens of thousands of people across the United States. In the first place, it was during the Russo-Japanese War that the black American society began to expect Japan. A small country of colored races challenged a bold battle against a large white country for independence. Dubois, introduced at the beginning, supported Japan as a country with a high possibility of freeing colored races from white rule. If Japan wins, the day will come when it will shout "Asia for Asians". We thought that it would be a precursor to a similar voice echoing in Africa, the mother land of our black people. And that idea is also the will of the National Black Church. The black newspaper "Indianapolis Freeman" publishes the following editorial. "In the oriental ring, The punches of the brown men continue to beat the whites. In fact, Russia has been over and over again The Japanese were sick of it, The second is about to throw in a towel. Colored races make this match a reality It's only a matter of time. The long-standing myth of white dominance Finally, it's about to be destroyed. " And the Russo-Japanese War denies the myth of modern history of white dominance that colored races can never beat white races. Two of the doctors at a Japanese hospital in Los Angeles at the time were black, the California Eagles said: "Most hospitals are tightly closed to blacks these days. Nikkei hospitals for all races I'm really happy that the door is open. Reassuring that you can see a doctor of the same race Because patients can get it 」 In the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, a black man wrote in the "Chicago Defender" newspaper that "American people of color, that is, we black people, can save Japanese people of the same color." In response, the newspaper immediately launched a Japanese relief campaign. "Surely we are poor. But now, do you want to pay without paying? " The newspaper's enthusiastic call pervaded many blacks. The NAACP sent a telegram expressing deep sympathy to the emperor, a "friend of the same color," and made a large donation to Japan. AL Jackson, a columnist for the Chicago Defender newspaper, said that Japan, which had been trying to make dramatic progress in science, commerce, industry, and military, which had long been a proprietary patent for white people, was hit hard by the earthquake. It was analyzed that the black people were also mentally hit by the blow. Because he is "the Japanese are living witnesses who have broken the myth of white dominance". In 1936, Italy invades Ethiopia. Blacks in the United States sought to support Africa's only black independent nation as the "last bastion." Compared to the reluctance of the US government, Japan's appeal for support for Ethiopia more than the League of Nations moved the hearts of black Americans. The "Chicago Defender" newspaper was published by General Kazushige Ugaki of Japan. "In the conflict between Italy and Ethiopia, Japan cannot be neutral " "To help Ethiopian compatriots, Thousands of Japanese people are always Will fly to Africa " I am telling you that I have stated clearly. The Pittsburgh Clear newspaper also sent correspondents to Ethiopia, reporting that Ethiopian soldiers had undergone pilot training in Japan and that Japan had suggested that they even provide fighters. What impressed the blacks above all was the plan to marry Ethiopian Emperor Haile Serrache's nephew, Prince Alaia Ababa, and Japanese royal family Masako Kuroda. Although this did not happen, it was also evidence that Japan was interested in its alliance with Ethiopia. The Chicago Defender "The love between the two across the sea was torn by Mussolini," he reports. Dr. Reginald Kearney (Department of Black History), author of "Japanese in the 20th Century-American Blacks' View of Japanese", calls on us Japanese as follows. "The closest Japanese friend in history, It was an American black man. If you read this book, Japanese politicians and intellectuals When repeating remarks that discriminate against black people Why the black people were so angry and sad It should be understood from the bottom of my heart.

"Chandra Bose" who participated in the Greater East Asia Conference Of the representatives who attended the Greater East Asia Conference in November 1943, only Chandra Bose, the Azad Hind Government, was in a different position than the other participants. He nominally called himself the "Independent Government of India", but his influence had little influence on India, which was a British colony at that time. The Japanese government was not thinking about occupying India When the Japanese army captured a large number of Indian soldiers (who had been assigned to local troops as members of the British army) in the battle in British Malaya, they gathered them and on December 31, 1941, "Indian National Army (INA) ) ”, And Bose, who secretly traveled from Germany to Japan, was later appointed as the chief commander of this unit. The reason the Japanese government supported Bose's Indian independence movement at the time was not so much for the Indians, but for weakening its opponent, Britain. On October 21, 1943, when the "Free Indian Temporary Government" headed by Bose was established on Shonan Island (formerly Singapore), the Japanese government approved it as an "Independent Indian Government" on October 23, two days later. bottom. The following day, October 24, the Azad Hind declared war on both the United States and Britain, creating the format that the Japanese government wanted, "Indians will fight the United States and Britain with Japan." On November 6, the second day of the Greater East Asia Conference, Prime Minister Tojo said, "The Andaman Islands (Indian territory occupied by the Japanese Navy Army Squadron in March 1942) and the Nicobar Islands (also under the occupation of Japan) in the Indian Ocean. (Occupied in June 1942) will be transferred to the Azad Hind Temporary Government. " Behind the Japanese government's grant of diplomatic approval and unique territory to Bose's provisional government was the Japanese intention to reinforce the "established facts" of India's independence. However, in reality, "delegation" was only nominal, and the Japanese Navy continued to use these islands as outposts. In addition, although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan dispatched a minister to the Azad Hind Temporary Government, it did not allow the establishment of formal diplomatic relations and did not give the minister a credential of the government. Later, as the battlefield began to defeat Japan, Bose's influence on the Indian provisional government diminished, and Bose himself died in an unfortunate accident on August 18, 1945. However, after India achieved independence from Britain after the war, the activities of the "Indian National Army" created with the support of Japan were re-evaluated and are now recognized as "indirectly contributing to India's independence." increase.

The US is still using the Purple Hearts earmarked for the invasion of Japan. Think of all the casualties the US has suffered in its wars since 1945, and we are not even close to running out of Purple Hearts. The land invasion of Japan would have been the greatest horror show in history. Those atom bombs saved millions of lives on both sides.

Commander of the Navy Fuchida, who was the general commander of the attack on Pearl Harbor, survived after the end of the war, but one day immediately after the end of the war, three large black soldiers came to Colonel Fuchida. And suddenly get on the jeep. Colonel Fuchida was thus shaken by a jeep for about 30 minutes and was taken to the back of the Yusen Building in Marunouchi. At that time, the Yusen Building was used as a dormitory for US military officers. There was also a bar in the building for white US military officers. It was the American soldiers working at the bar who took Colonel Fuchida. Former Navy Colonel Fuchida said when he was taken to the back of the bar's dressing room. He seems to have thought "no longer so far". However, as soon as the door was opened, I was greatly welcomed by the large number of black U.S. soldiers who gathered there. Don't eat, don't drink, it was a great welcome. To say the same thing, "Who do you think was most pleased with the attack on Pearl Harbor?" "It's us black." At that time, exchanges between US soldiers and Japanese people were strictly prohibited without the US military. Until they broke the ban, they knew Colonel Fuchida as Captain of the Pearl Bay Attack and welcomed him. When the Greater East Asia War begins, public opinion in the American black society will break down. "Racial issues are set aside for the time being Let's fight for our home country " "Contribute to victory and win civil rights" If there is an opinion, "For America to discriminate against blacks It's ridiculous to fight. " There was also an opinion. Dubois sees the Greater East Asia War as a "racial war" and clearly states: "As long as the United States recognizes the rights of the Japanese, The war shouldn't have happened. " For blacks, whites are Japanese "Yellow Bastard" "Yellow Monkey" "Little Yellow Devil" I was more and more aware of the scent of racial warfare by always putting yellow letters in it to describe it. The US government at that time was trying to spread the image that Japanese soldiers were "cruel savage". In response, he said in the "Pittsburgh Clear" newspaper: "In the naval battle off Bismarck, After sinking a large number of Japanese ships, the U.S. military Many Japanese soldiers floating in the waves I killed them all with a machine gun. " "In the mainland bombing, I chose a place where many people lived. Indiscriminately killed adults and babies 」 "When the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Tens of thousands of humans were killed in an instant. What do you call brutal without calling this brutal? " "I was suffering from discrimination in the army For white soldiers, black soldiers The reason why you have to fight Japanese people of the same color is Nothing" "One white commander said 95% of black troops have no willingness to fight, It is judged that. Among black soldiers, from feelings that could not be done There are the following jokes. Carve it on the tombstone like this. To protect white people, Fighting the yellow race Black man who lost his life "Sleep here" He said that during the war, Japanese immigrants were put into internment camps, even for those with US citizenship, and the American black community was shocked. First, it was clearly due to racial prejudice that only Japanese Americans were accommodated, neither German nor Italian. Second, the same could happen to blacks if even Nikkei with American citizenship were detained. And he said that we blacks would silently overlook the fact that 115,000 Nikkei were deprived of their American freedom at once, and along with a columnist from the Los Angeles Tribune, the American Black Improvement Association. And submit the following resolution. "We are discriminated against by race and skin color, The right as an American Resolutely infringed I have to oppose it. " After the end of the Greater East Asia War, the black community welcomes and warmly welcomes the Nikkei who have returned from the camp. They were looking for a job for Nikkei and invited them to church.

This book → FREEDOM BETRAYED: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath) is the process of World War II over 20 years by the 31st President of the United States Herbert Hoover (term 1929-33). It is a memoir that verified. The basic idea of ​​Republican President Hoover is, above all, a consistent and harsh critique of communism. The criticism began with Roosevelt's approval of the Soviet Union, and went all the way through the alliance with the Soviet Union, preparing for the war, and making major concessions to the Soviet Union in the process of ending the war. At the same time, Roosevelt's policies were also directed toward the expansion of the postwar communist regime and the Cold War between East and West. With the confrontation between the Soviet Union under Stalin's control and the communist movements in each country in mind, Hoover called on Japan to avoid the opening of the war between Japan and the United States and to promptly reconcile after the opening of the war. In that sense, it is an indispensable document for the Japanese to fundamentally review World War II.

Escape from Zhangjiakou-Hiroshi Nemoto, a former Japanese commander who saved Taiwan's predicament On August 15, 1945 (Showa 20), even if Japan's defeat was decided, Nemoto decided not to disarm against the order from his home country. The battle with the large Soviet troops that had crossed the border continued for three days from August 19. The only fundamental purpose was to stop the Soviet invasion and safely raise 40,000 residents while gaining time. From the National Revolutionary Army, which once had a war, a messenger goes to the root Nemoto, who safely escaped the Japanese from Zhangjiakou and returned to Japan, had more duties waiting for him. He was to demobilize Japanese troops deployed in northeastern China. Nemoto made a promise to return 350,000 soldiers through direct negotiations with the Kuomintang side. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army had fought with the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek, but on the other hand, both armies also had pipes that could communicate with each other. Chiang Kai-shek has experience studying abroad in Japan. He was also an officer of the National Revolutionary Army enrolled in the Japanese Army Academy. There is a reason why the Kuomintang responded to the return of Japanese soldiers. There was the Communist Party's army led by Mao Zedong, and the Soviet army behind it. Certainly there was a political desire to return the Japanese troops from mainland China as soon as possible and focus on the fight against the Communist Party. It was August 1946 (Showa 21) that Nemoto boarded his last return ship after seeing the demobilization of all the soldiers. Hiroshi Nemoto's life as a soldier seemed to end here. However, in an unexpected way, the soldier, Hiroshi Nemoto, revives. One day, more than two years after returning to Japan, a stranger came into contact with the roots. The man is a messenger of the Kuomintang. He said he begged Nemoto to travel to Taiwan to support the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek and its surroundings knew the fundamental character and his ability to plan and command operations. Regarding the situation in East Asia around this time, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two parts, the eve of the Korean War. In addition, due to Japan's defeat, Taiwan's sovereignty changed from Japan to the Republic of China (= Kuomintang government). On the other hand, in mainland China, the civil war between Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang and Mao Zedong's Communist Party continued. Eventually, the situation turned to the Communist Party, and the cornered Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. Nemoto decided to go to Taiwan. Taiwan rule of Kinmen Island is a fundamental achievement In June 1949, after being visited by a messenger, Nemoto took a small boat from the port of Nobeoka, Miyazaki Prefecture, to Taiwan and reunited with Chiang Kai-shek, without telling the truth to his family, and became an inferior National Revolutionary Army. Promised to support. He was none other than to give back to the National Revolutionary Army, who helped the Japanese who fled Zhangjiakou return home. At the request of Chiang Kai-shek, Nemoto went to Fujian Province, China, on the opposite bank of Taiwan, as a military adviser to the National Revolutionary Army. The civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was about to end with the victory of Mao Zedong's Communist Party forces. It was obvious that if Fujian Province was robbed by the Communist Party's army trying to invade Taiwan, even Taiwan would fall into the hands of the Communist Party. It was Kinmonjima that Nemoto noticed. Kinmen Island is 180 kilometers from the mainland of Taiwan, but only 2 kilometers from mainland China. I have been to Kinmen Island several times for interviews. The city on the mainland China side is right in front of you. The buildings on the other side seem to be picked up. The strategy that the roots set up is (1) to allow the enemy's troops to land on Kinmonjima = lure (2) after sunset, burn down all the ships used by the enemy's troops for landing. With this, the enemy has no ships to supply or use when retreating. ③ Then, the enemy's troops that landed are surrounded and ambushed. The operation is successful. Mao Zedong had no choice but to abandon the capture of Taiwan and the unification including Taiwan. After more than 70 years, Kinmen Island is still the border between China and Taiwan. In that sense, what led to today's "composition of China and Taiwan" may be traced back to the escape of Japanese from Zhangjiakou. I lied that I couldn't do anything when I returned to Japan with a fishing rod on my shoulder. In October 1949, Mao Zedong declared the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Chiang Kai-shek, on the other hand, is based in Taiwan. The division of China and Taiwan was decided. Nemoto will return to Japan in June 1952 (Showa 27), the year after the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, when Japan's sovereignty was restored. Quoted from a newspaper article reporting the return of Nemoto. Hiroshi Nemoto (62), a former commander of the Japanese Army dispatched to North China, returned from Taipei at 10:10 am on the 25th with a CAT aircraft arriving at Haneda for the first time in three years. Mr. Nemoto, wearing a Panama hat on his shoulder and a white linen suit, had a meeting with a Chinese representative (= the current Taiwanese diplomat), and then he was surrounded by his wife and four sons who were greeted at his home in Tokyo. I went to, but told reporters: (Omitted) "On the evening of June 24, 1945, I boarded a small boat from Nobeoka Port under the guidance of a Chinese (Note: Kuomintang official). I went to Operation Amoy in Fujian Province, but I'm sorry for the hospitality because I couldn't do anything. Recently, I decided to return home because both politics and military have calmed down. " (June 25, 1952, Mainichi Shimbun evening edition) "Tsurizao" has a deep episode. When stowawaying to Taiwan, Nemoto left his family saying "go fishing" when leaving his home in Tokyo. That's why he landed at Haneda Airport, pretending to be on his way home from fishing. The size of the scale as a fundamental human being that makes you feel humor is transmitted. Nemoto said when he returned to Japan, "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything," but he probably said so in the civil war with the Communist Party to avoid friction caused by the Japanese participation in the Kuomintang. He dared not tell the truth. These stories are detailed in two books that depict the life of the roots. "Strategic General Hiroshi Nemoto's Conspiracy of a Military Commander" (written by Shigero Komatsu, Kojinsha) "The miracle of Ryusho Kadota, Kadokawa Bunko, the army general who saved Taiwan dedicated to this life and righteousness" (Ryusho Kadota) If Mao Zedong's army had taken control of Taiwan, there is no doubt that the security map of today's East Asia, including Japan, would have changed significantly. The Japanese were involved in the strategy to prevent it. In addition, the beginning was Zhangjiakou, China, where the Olympic Games are currently being held. The history is very deep. I feel like I'm going to make it.

As we approached the mainland of Japan, the resistance of the Japanese army became fierce, and the death and injury rate of U.S. military ground troops in the Pacific theater was as high as 3.5 times that in the European theater, and 39% of the input troops in the Battle of Okinawa. Great damage of death and injury. The United States indiscriminately killed by an atomic bomb that violates international law Whether the atomic bomb is dropped or the Soviet Union participates in the war, the military will fight thoroughly if "protection of the national polity" is not clear. Emperor Showa and the Prime Minister hope and decide to accept the Potsdam Declaration. After dropping the atomic bomb, the United States did not finally participate in the Soviet Union, but in the mainland decisive battle, 500,000 to 1 million people were killed and injured, and in the form of not wanting to fight 3 million Japanese troops in Asia, "Kokutai protection" Implicitly admitted. Japan is ready to accept the Potsdam Declaration → The United States has been informed that Japan will accept the Potsdam Declaration, but the clear imperial maintenance clause has been deleted from the declaration → The Emperor has dropped the American atomic bomb No matter what the position of the Prime Minister → The military has a thorough fight against the fact that the protection of the national polity is not clear → The Ministry of Foreign Affairs inquires to the United States The United States accepted the condition of Japan's "national protection" because it is too risky to surrender 500 to 1 million Japanese troops in China and Asia by force in the mainland decisive battle. .. Since Japan was able to protect the national polity and the constitutional monarchy, the communist revolution did not occur after the war and democracy and freedom were protected.

Why did the Soviet Union do that in the end?

[@galacticknight55544]

I'm still not sure whether dropping the bombs was the right thing to do. A disproportionate number of the people who died in those bombings were noncombatants, innocent people just going about their day. There's a huge difference, both morally and legally speaking, between killing an enemy soldier and killing an unarmed civilian.

Japan's support for Ukraine "Green Ukraine" In the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Romanov dynasty, which had been abdicated by Nicholas II and lasted for about 300 years, collapsed. After that, the birth of the Soviet government aiming to establish a socialist nation will increase the momentum for independence among ethnic minorities such as Ukraine. It was Two revolutions that took place in Russia in 1917, the "February Revolution" that rebelled against the previous tsarism (absolute monarchy by the emperor) and the "October Revolution" that led to the establishment of a socialist state. Ukrainians in the Russian Far East have begun a struggle to establish autonomy. The Ukrainian Far East Conference will be held in Ussuriysk in June 1917, forming a council (Kray Rada). It was At the second meeting in Khabarovsk in January 1918, Green Ukraine was declared as part of the Ukrainian state, after which it became known as the "Green Ukraine Republic", the "Far East Ukraine Immigrant Government" and so on. It was At the third meeting in April 1918, a young 36-year-old engineer, Yuri Glushko-Mova, was elected as chairman of the council, considering the creation of an independent Ukrainian state, and in the summer, General Borys R. Khreschatytsky. The Ukrainian Army of the Far East (with more than 5,000 troops) was organized as the commander, and a draft constitution was drafted at the 4th meeting in October of the same year. In the summer of 1919, the council paved the way for an armed struggle against the Korczak administration, which ruled the region. In response, most Ukrainian leaders were arrested at the behest of Primorsky Krai Governor General Rosanov. It was Under these circumstances, the Far Eastern Republic of the Bolsheviks was established in April 1920 as a buffer state for Russia and Japan. The Far Eastern Republic recognized the autonomy of Green Ukraine, but the Far Eastern Ukrainian army was disarmament. It was However, when Japan withdrew from Siberia in 1922, the Far Eastern Republic lost its raison d'etre and was integrated into the Russian Soviet Union Socialist Republic. Here, the dream of the founding of Green Ukraine was destroyed. After that, when Japan embarked on the establishment of Manchuria in 1932, Japan planned to establish a Ukrainian state in the coastal states as a buffer state with Russia, and in July 1937 it was called the "Far East Ukrainian Development and Development Movement". Formed a political organization. However, the group was viewed by the Soviet Union and Ukrainians as a Japanese spy group, and when the Pacific War broke out in 1941, Japan abandoned this plan and abandoned support for Ukrainians in the Far East. It was In this way, the people of Ukraine have been "required to serve as a buffer between Russia and neighboring countries" not only in Europe but also in the Far East. If you were a neighbor, what would happen to the international community surrounding Japan today? It was One thing I can say is that they were "closer" than we thought. Perhaps our neighbors, they are now bravely fighting to protect the country from unjustified invaders in isolated and unaided lands in remote Eastern Europe. I think it would be okay to come up with bolder support measures, such as welcoming Ukrainian refugees who have lost their way to Japan. In the long run, I think that such humanitarian assistance "will lead to true national interests." It was Nowadays, I think there were many nodules that led Russia to a democratic nation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is important for the international community to "know that it is at that turning point" and "to come up with effective measures without losing timing", and it is too late to speak out after things happen.

If the US disegregated their military by 1940s and considered Japan-First instead of Germany-First in this war, the US manpower would have been more effective (even if there would be any racial issue like in Vietnam) and Operation Downfall would have been carried out. US WASTED half of their manpower in Europe and a lot in Africa. US should have stayed from Europe and just at least supplied a lot of logistic oil and weaponary for Western Front without sending troops!!
