In addition to the three ** axes and the 6 servant states that followed behind and waved their flags, the fascist camp also had three strategic cooperation objects, although they did not officially join the countries of the Axis powers. But they all have their own fascist regimes, and they have close ties with fascist regimes.
Spain: the island of fascism.
During World War II, Spain was a paradoxical existence. It went through a civil war in 1939, which resulted in the rise to power of the fascist Franco, who established a ** regime.
It shared the same political philosophy as Germany, Italy, and Japan, but did not formally join the Axis powers. It sent iron ore and other resources to Germany, and even sent volunteers to participate in the Soviet-German war. But Franco did everything he could to avoid being isolated by the allies. Diplomacy has been played between the two sides in an attempt to maintain a neutral posture. When the situation in Germany became increasingly unfavorable, Spain leaned towards allies, and even signed a secret agreement with the United States in 1944 allowing the United States to establish military bases on Spanish territory.
After the war, Spain received economic assistance from the United States and achieved rapid development. But its fascist regime was not overthrown, but lasted until Franco's death in 1975.
It was a fascist island, neither destroyed by war nor drowned by the wave of democratization. It's a pretty maverick country.
Finland: Warrior in the snow.
Finland is a small country, but it showed amazing combat effectiveness in World War II. It was the only country that let the Soviet Union hit its head and bleed. The Soviet Union launched its aggression against Finland in 1939. This was the Soviet-Finnish War, also known as the Winter War. Although Finland is small in terms of people, it has taken advantage of its familiar ice and snow environment, as well as brave soldiers, to inflict a huge amount of ** on the Soviet Union. It was in this war that the Finnish sniper Simon Haiha created the myth of 505 kills. However, Finland could not resist the pressure of the Soviet Union, and had to sign a peace treaty in 1940, ceding part of its territory to the Soviet Union.
Finland was reluctant to do so, and in 1941, when Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union, Finland also entered the war in an attempt to regain lost territory. This is the continuation of the war, also known as the Great Patriotic War. However, Finland did not want to wade into troubled waters with Germany, and after successfully recovering its territory, it did not continue to penetrate into the Soviet Union and began to distance itself from Germany. Nor did he participate in the German ** against the Jews, and even refused the German demands, protecting his own Jewish citizens. When the war situation in Germany began to deteriorate, Finland also reached a peace agreement with the Soviet Union in time, ending the war. It's called the Brothers' War. Finland once again lost part of its territory, but it retained its independence and sovereignty. It was also not severely punished by the allies, but was seen as a victim and a resistant.
Thailand also played a complex role in World War II. It was originally a neutral country, but its geographical location made it a target for Japan. In 1941, in order to open the passage to Southeast Asia, Japan launched a surprise attack on Thailand and forced Thailand to surrender. Thailand's prime minister at the time, seeing that the war situation was almost entirely tilted in favor of Japan, also believed that Japan was the leader of Asia, so he formed an alliance with Japan, and even declared war on Britain and the United States after Pearl Harbor.
But the king of Thailand and some patriots did not agree to this, and they secretly maintained contact with the allies and even organized some anti-Japanese activities. When the war situation in Japan began to collapse, Thailand also took the opportunity to restore relations with the allies, declared the declaration of war on Britain and the United States null and void, and joined the camp of the allies.
The allies are also tolerant of Thailand, believing that Thailand is a forced country and has not imposed any sanctions on Thailand. Thailand has been fighting soy sauce for a few years, and it has ended the world war peacefully. Whether it was an Axis power, a client state, or a partner power, they were all a complete state with some autonomy to some extent, but in some of the occupied areas, the Axis powers used their puppet regimes to expand their influence, and there were 13 of these regimes, all established by Germany and Japan in the areas they occupied. Their purpose was to control resources, suppress revolts, divide the Allies, or satisfy their fascist ambitions. Among them, Japan has established the most puppet regimes.
Japan began its aggression against China in 1931 by establishing the puppet state of Manchukuo in the northeast. found Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and brought a large group of old and young people to re-establish the country in the northeast. Pu Yi was just an ornament, he had no real power, and could only obey the orders of the Japanese. The Japanese imposed brutal rule in the puppet state of Manchukuo and committed numerous atrocities against the Chinese. The Japanese also established the autonomy of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Party in North China. This regime was established in 1935 and was formed by a number of local forces in North China that had been bribed by the Japanese. The leader of this regime was Yin Rugeng, who was a landlord and warlord. For his own interests, he betrayed the people of North China and colluded with the Japanese. His regime is a reactionary regime, his aim is to prevent the development of the Communist Party, and his means are ** and **.
The success of the autonomy of Manchukuo and the Eastern Hebei Defense Communists** made the Japanese see the benefits of establishing a puppet regime, and they began to repeat their old tricks, and in 1939 they established the joint autonomy of Mongolia and Xinjiang in Inner Mongolia**. King Demuchuk became the head of the **, he was a pro-Japanese traitor. The top ** of this regime are almost all Japanese, and they have exploited and oppressed the Inner Mongolians. In 1940, Wang Puppet National** was established in Nanjing. Wang Jingwei appeared on the scene, hoping to become the ruler of China with the help of the Japanese. But it became the ** of the Japanese.
In 1941, Japan launched the Pacific War, attacking Pearl Harbor in the United States, occupying many countries in Southeast Asia, and claiming to be part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
In India, the Japanese supported a regime called the Free India Provisional **. This regime was formed in 1943 and was formed by a number of Indian nationalists. The leader was Bosch, who wanted to achieve India's independence with the help of the Japanese. Unexpectedly, the wolf was lured into the house, and finally drove away the hungry wolf of Britain, but introduced the tiger of Japan. However, Britain was also relatively tenacious, withstood Bosch's attack, but overthrew the temporary **, and India's independence came to naught, and continued to fight World War II with the British Commonwealth.
In 1943, in Burma, the Japanese supported the Burmese state that had existed for two years, but Burma did not have as many fancy intestines as India, and followed the Japanese to invade, and after the Japanese surrendered, the Burmese state also collapsed. In Indochina, the Japanese also established puppet regimes in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and other countries. These countries were formerly colonies of France, and after the surrender of France in 1940, the Japanese entered these countries and took control of the regime that had been previously controlled by France. The combined strength of these more than 20 countries is also extremely terrifying, and it also gives the Axis powers the confidence to encroach on the world.
