Title:
"Reunion" after betrayal Why did Germany still partner with its "predecessor" in World War II?
War has made the dawn seem so far away, but it has also made the feelings between allies fragile. Looking back at the First World War, Germany and Italy were inextricably linked, however, in the face of the crisis, Italy betrayed Germany and became the enemy of the time. This astonishing transformation pierced Germany's heart deeply.
In World War II, when Germany faced the international situation again, it chose to re-ally with its former "predecessor". This choice may seem puzzling, but in the complex international situation at that time, there were profound internal reasons.
The betrayal of the First World War, the wounds in the heart of Germany. Italy had been close comrades-in-arms, but at a time when Germany needed support the most, Italy turned its back on its allies and chose to join the enemy. Anger and helplessness are intertwined, and this history has become a heavy stone monument in the heart of Germany.
However, looking back at the Second World War, why Germany was willing to join hands with this betrayer was not a simple emotional entanglement, but a deliberate international political chess game.
At that time, the situation in the world became intricate, like layers of puzzles. Germany urgently needed to expand its sphere of influence against a rapidly growing enemy. It's not about intimacy, it's about dealing with powerful adversaries.
Germany had to find allies and closely combine the forces of more countries, which was a need for survival. At this time, Italy had been isolated by other countries, an isolated place abandoned by the world. Germany saw this opportunity and decided to derive greater strategic benefits from it.
This is not only a strategic consideration, but also a strategy to deal with multiple attacks. If only one country is the adversary, Germany will face great pressure, but if two or more countries can be pitted against it at the same time, then Germany's influence will be greatly reduced. As a result, the alliance with Italy became one of the goals that Germany sought to achieve.
Germany not only hoped to use Italy to distract its rivals, but also to improve its position and prestige in the international community. In international relations, it is essential to earn the trust and support of a country. This is essential for the protection of its own rights and interests, which is why relations with Italy are particularly important for Germany.
Although Germany was betrayed by Italy in World War I, Germany was forced to cooperate with it in World War II. Although Italy failed to help much, it at least provided Germany with the role of a supporter. In the emergency situation of that time, any possible supporter could not be taken lightly.
War is a stage of politics and international relations, and although it is full of twists and turns and helplessness, there is profound strategic thinking behind it. Germany's entanglement with Italy is the next thought-provoking chapter in international politics. This history brings us not only the feeling of the past, but also a deep reflection on the intricacies of politics and international relations.
