The Top 10 Most Shameless Countries in World War II

  First place: Soviet Union

  Here is the translation:

  When Lenin was alive, he promised to return the occupied Chinese territory, but when Stalin came to power, he completely disavowed this promise and even launched a small-scale invasion of China in 1929. Before World War II, the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty with Germany, agreeing to jointly divide Poland. On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and on September 17, the Soviet Union also invaded Poland from behind, telling the confused Polish military and civilians, "We are here to fight against the Germans." For a period of time, they did not encounter any resistance. By the time the Poles realized what was happening, it was too late, and the Polish government had already collapsed under the pressure of being attacked on two fronts. Germany handed over Poland's second-largest city to the Soviet Union according to their agreement, but the Soviet Union crossed the designated border and occupied the oil fields that were originally allocated to Germany. Later, Germany discovered a large number of bodies of Polish soldiers in the Katyn forest, which the Soviet Union blamed on Germany. However, after the Soviet Union dissolved, archives revealed that it was actually the great communist country of the Soviet Union that committed this atrocity! This was the first cooperation between socialist countries in human history, and yet the Soviet Union did not treat its socialist companion with integrity. In the same year, the Soviet Union also provoked the Winter War against Finland, but the massive Soviet army was surprisingly defeated by the Finnish military! In the end, they won at a great cost, but it was still a shameful victory. After France was defeated, the Soviet Union began to frequently contact Britain and stationed large numbers of troops on the German border, posing a serious threat to Germany. The Soviet leadership was blindly arrogant, and Germany began to increase its military presence along the border, but the Soviet Union did not take this seriously. During the war, the Soviet people continued to suffer under brutal rule. Batch after batch of untrained civilians were forced to pick up primitive weapons to slow down the German advance, without any right to retreat. During the Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet Union executed 13,500 soldiers for treason, mostly deserters and low-ranking officers who failed to hold their positions. The brutal rule of the Soviet Union led to the emergence of millions of fake soldiers on the Soviet-German battlefield! In the late stages of World War II, the Soviet army approached Warsaw, and the people of Warsaw launched an uprising to coordinate with the Soviet military. However, the Soviet Union refused to provide support, citing that the uprising was led by the "landlord class." As a result, the insurgents were slaughtered by the German army. When Britain and the United States requested the Soviet Union to launch an attack, they were met with a firm refusal; when they asked for an airbase to support the insurgents, they were also refused. This was how the Soviet Union demonstrated its "allied" identity. Churchill angrily exclaimed, "The merits or demerits of the Warsaw uprising are not the issue at hand; what is happening now is that almost unarmed Warsaw residents are attacking German tanks!" Afterwards, the Soviet Union took control of many Eastern European countries, depriving them of their independence and freedom. Minority groups such as the Chechens were expelled from their homes by the Soviet government on the grounds of "collaborating with the enemy" and sent to Central Asia. In Asia, the Soviet Union forced China to recognize the Yalta Agreement, which divided the country, and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Northeast China, thereby gaining illegal interests in the region. Sun Yat-sen called the Soviet Union "red imperialism" before his death - how true!

  Second place: Japan

  In 1931, Japan invaded China's three northeastern provinces. At the time, Japan explained to the League of Nations that "Japan needs the three northeastern provinces more than China." If a country can disregard another country's sovereignty and global justice just because it needs something, isn't that robbery? However, weak countries have no diplomacy, so all China could do was produce a large amount of data to prove that "China also needs the three northeastern provinces." This refuted Japan's theory of robbery, and the League of Nations did not recognize Manchukuo. As a result, Japan simply withdrew from the League in 1932. In 1937, Japan tore up the Tanggu Agreement and launched an all-out invasion of China. In 1941, Japan again demonstrated its "value" as an ally by attacking Britain and the United States instead of the Soviet Union, giving Germany another major enemy. In the late stages of the war, Japan emphasized "dying like a jewel," but in the end, two atomic bombs turned it into "ashes."

  Third place: Germany

  In Hitler's eyes, treaties were just pieces of paper, and power was the only justice. He was the greatest aggressor in human history, but before World War II, he and his Nazi Germany presented a peaceful image to the world. In 1935, Hitler said: "The blood shed on the European continent over the past 300 years... In the end, France is still France, and Germany is still Germany... The ambitions of emperors, political desires, and national prejudices have caused massive bloodshed..." Hitler claimed that Germany had no intention of interfering with Austria's internal affairs, nor did it want to annex Austria. However, in 1938, he went back on his word. Hitler said: "Whoever sets off war fires in Europe can only hope for chaos and nothing else..." Yet, in 1939, he was the one who ignited the flames of war in Europe. Hitler repeatedly declared that Austria was his last demand, but then annexed Czechoslovakia. He repeatedly declared that Czechoslovakia was his last demand, but then invaded Poland. Hitler repeatedly declared that Germany had no intention of starting a world war and would not infringe on the independence and freedom of neighboring small countries, yet he recklessly trampled over neutral countries such as Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, and Norway. In short, the Nazi German dictionary did not contain the words "morality" or "justice". However, this kind of scoundrel is a hundred times better than a hypocrite in my personal opinion.

  Fourth place: France

  In the aftermath of World War I, Germany surrendered with honor, having lost not an inch of its territory, in order to secure a relatively better outcome. However, at the Paris Peace Conference, the shameless nature of the great powers was fully exposed as they drafted the most draconian peace treaty in human history - the Treaty of Versailles. Under the Treaty of Versailles, France and Britain were like two robbers, taking away everything that could be taken. The German people lost almost everything, including their dignity. They angrily referred to the Treaty of Versailles as a "forced peace"! Later, due to the issue of reparations, France, together with Belgium, Poland, and other countries, invaded Germany again, leading to the Ruhr Crisis. At the same time, the Asian part of the Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany's rights in Shandong, China would be transferred to Japan. China, as a victorious nation in World War I, was reduced to being a pawn on the table of the great powers! It can be said that World War II was a continuation of World War I, and without the Treaty of Versailles, there would not have been a Second World War. After France's defeat, it willingly became a Nazi lapdog, and when the Allied forces came to liberate it in 1944, it chose to fight against them! A shameless country. I do not sympathize with France's failure in World War II, because that was its well-deserved punishment.

  Fifth place: United Kingdom

  Britain has a very shameful page in the history of World War II, that is, the policy of appeasement. In order not to get involved in the war, the interests of small countries can be sacrificed at will, whether they are allies or not. The German army entered the Rhineland, and Britain did not object; Germany annexed Austria, and Britain did not object; when Germany wanted to annex Czechoslovakia, Britain helped to create the Munich Agreement; when Germany invaded Poland, Britain provided symbolic assistance of four divisions to Europe, hiding behind the solid Maginot Line, "watching a Don Quixote-style brave ally being destroyed by Hitler." What's more, in order to ease tensions with Japan, it even allowed Japan to dictate and block China's only external transportation route, the Burma Road, for three months, putting China in a suffocating situation. It did what the Japanese invaders wanted to do but couldn't! After France fell, Britain fought alone, raising the banner of "justice". Britain, as a country with colonies all over the world and the largest aggressor in human history, has no right to talk about "justice"!

  Sixth place: Italy

  Italy is a shameless country and an incompetent country.

  In 1935, Italy used tanks and poison gas to defeat the Ethiopian army equipped with big knives and long spears. In 1939, Italy played the same trick as in 1914, forcing Hitler to delay the start of the war. In 1940, when France's defeat was certain, Italy declared war on France but failed to make the French army retreat even a single step. In October 1940, just as Hitler was preparing to attack the Soviet Union, Italy once again showed its "value" as an ally by launching a surprise attack on Greece without consulting Germany and ended up being defeated by the Greeks. By the end of 1940, Italy had suffered another defeat in Africa, prompting Hitler to send help, which led to the emergence of Rommel, one of the most famous generals of World War II.

  Seventh place: Poland

  After the end of World War I, Poland rebuilt its state on the territories of Germany and the Soviet Union. However, the Poles did not cherish their own country, and in the years following its establishment, Poland successively invaded the Soviet Union, Germany, Lithuania, and Czechoslovakia. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, Poland took advantage of the situation and seized a piece of land. The Polish leadership was blindly arrogant and overly optimistic about its military strength, to the point where it refused to discuss any German proposals regarding Danzig and East Prussia, no matter how sincere they were. For Hitler, what could not be obtained through diplomacy had to be obtained through war. Therefore, Poland appeared on the international stage more as a belligerent nation, and its fate did not deserve any sympathy.

  Eighth place: Belgium

  Long before World War I, Belgium had declared itself a permanently neutral country. However, after the end of World War I, Belgium saw benefits and abandoned its permanent neutrality, participating multiple times in France's aggressive actions against the Weimar Republic, tying its interests with those of France. But when Hitler remilitarized Germany in 1936, Belgium hastily declared itself a permanently neutral country again, hoping to avoid German retaliation. However, it ultimately failed to avoid being invaded, and if Germany's invasion through Belgium during World War I was an unjust act, then Belgium being "invaded" again during World War II was completely deserved retribution.

  Ninth place: Spain

  Franco's rebels, with the support of Germany and Italy, defeated the government forces supported by the Soviet Union. However, Franco seemed to have no intention of reciprocating. After Germany launched a war, Franco's Falange Party followed suit, but later stopped fighting when they couldn't win. What was most frustrating was that although Spain was a fascist country, it maintained neutrality towards Britain and the United States, thereby protecting Germany's rear. The Franco regime continued until the 1970s, and Franco indeed had some political foresight.

  Tenth place: United States

  The US appeared in World War II with a semblance of justice, but it's not entirely shameless. To make up for the lack of discussion on the US, let's talk about it. World War II was an imperialist war, which is essentially the same as World War I. The US cannot escape this premise, and it would be more accurate to say that it fought for group interests rather than justice.

  In April 1939, Roosevelt wrote a long letter to Hitler filled with righteous words, asking him to guarantee not to attack any of the 31 countries. However, Hitler pointed out incisively: "These countries, such as Syria, have not yet achieved freedom and are currently under the military occupation of democratic countries... I must ask Mr. Roosevelt to correct a few historical errors. He mentioned, for example, Ireland, and asked me to declare that Germany would not attack Ireland. I just read a speech by the Irish Prime Minister, which strangely contradicts Mr. Roosevelt's views and does not condemn Germany's oppression of Ireland, but instead condemns Britain's continued aggression against Ireland... Similarly, Mr. Roosevelt also failed to notice the fact that Palestine is currently under British military occupation, and the country's freedom has been brutally suppressed by force."

  This passage exposes the hypocrisy of democratic countries. Don't forget that countless Chinese soldiers and civilians died from American-made bombs during the early stages of the war!
