Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China in 1937, which lasted for eight years. In this war, Japan invested a lot of troops, and here are some key figures:
Initial stage (1937-1940): The total strength of the Japanese army was about 500,000, including about 400,000 in the army, 60,000 in the navy and 60,000 in the air force. In addition, about 20,000 North Korean laborers have been drafted into the army.
Middle phase (1941-1945): With the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan's military power was strengthened and expanded. By 1945, the size of its army had reached a peak of about 3 million men (including the army, navy, and air force).
However, it is important to note that these figures are only approximate estimates, and actual troop strength may vary and will vary depending on the period. In addition, due to the special circumstances during the war and the influence of various factors, such as **, disease, etc., it is difficult to accurately calculate the actual troop losses.
It is also difficult to accurately calculate the actual troop losses.
However, one thing is for sure, during World War II, the number of Japanese troops would never have been less than 1 million. This is because, during World War II, the level of economic development in Japan was very low, and the level of economic development in Japan was very low, and the population base was not large, so naturally their troops would not be too many. However, even so, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated. Why, then, is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army so strong?In fact, there are three main reasons. First, the Japanese are naturally ambitious. During World War II, Japan's land area was not large, but the Japanese were very eager to expand their territory, so during World War II, Japan continued to invade neighboring countries and even launched wars.
Second, the Japanese have great ambitions, they want to become a world power, so Japan has been constantly developing its military power to protect its own security.
Thirdly, Japan is a resource-poor country, and in order to survive, they can only go through war.
scramble for resources.
