Two people in Europe and one person in China once wanted to dominate the world
War, this topic has always dominated the history of mankind, it is not only the annexer of human civilization, but also the promoter of human development. The root of war is competitiveness and greed in human genes, and these driving forces are also one of the important factors driving human progress.
In the eyes of the countries that have expanded their territory, their actions are just and noble; However, in the eyes of the people of the occupied areas, war is an endless suffering, a devastating blow to the entire civilization of society.
If peace can be bought and sold, I am willing to exchange all the wealth of my country for peace". This is the truest wish of the war-torn little girl.
Even in the twenty-first century, wars continue to occur. Perhaps we can put aside our current worries for a while and look for the footprints and roots of our predecessors in history. Today, we will ** three famous military strategists in history, each of whom may be the leader of the conquering world and the hero of troubled times.
Of these, two are from Europe and one is from China. Genghis Khan, who not only could draw a bow and shoot arrows, was born in 1162 BC, and his original name was Temujin.
When Temujin was a child, the Mongolian region had not yet formed a tribe, and the land was vast and divided. Each tribe was in a state of tension, and not a single strong enough person appeared to be able to unify the Mongolian regions.
Temujin, who had been trained in martial arts since childhood, possessed superior military talent and rich experience in warfare. From a young age, he followed the elders of his clan on various battles, showing leadership skills that amazed his father.
Thus, Temujin took over the responsibility of leading the Qiyan tribe to prosperity. Under his leadership, the tribe continued to expand, annexing many smaller tribes. Eventually, at the age of forty-two, he succeeded in unifying the entire Mongolian region.
Two years later, he proclaimed the Mongol Empire and called himself "Khan", a word meaning "Son of Heaven" in Mongolian.
Genghis Khan, a military genius born to fight, did not stop expanding even after the unification of Mongolia. He aimed at East Asia and fought all the way east to the territory of the Jurchen tribes.
You must know that the Jurchens are a very strong ethnic minority, and the Liao State established by them once defeated the powerful Khitan nation. The history of Genghis Khan's almost unification of the world is the best proof of his love for war and his perseverance.
Genghis Khan did not back down because of the Jurchen's fame, but rose to the occasion with stronger strength and a more fierce attack. By this time, his army had grown stronger, and no matter how brave and skilled the Jurchens were, they could not resist the Mongol tactics of crowds, and they were finally defeated.
Genghis Khan succeeded in capturing a large area of Jurchen, from Ningxia to a large area in the northwestern part of Shaanxi. He was not satisfied with his immediate achievements, but used the Mongolian steppe as a base and continued to expand in all directions.
At its peak, the Mongol tribes managed to seize ownership of a large area of coast and ports from Japan as far east as the three eastern provinces, as far north as Russia, and further east even with the Sea of Japan.
In addition to this, marching westward, even the lands of Xinjiang and present-day Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan belonged to Genghis Khan.
Napoleon. His name is very familiar even to people who have never delved into history, and the story associated with him is often "Napoleonic Wars". In 1804, Napoleon founded the French Empire and proclaimed himself king.
After the establishment of the state, the first task is to expand the territory and launch aggression against foreign countries. He fought all the way from England to **, and the land he passed through was a mess, leaving not an inch of grass. During the 12 years of the Napoleonic Wars, it spread to Europe, North Africa, North America, and even the Indian Ocean.
Through the war, Napoleon made the name of France resounding throughout Europe. Before the war, France was a small country with little name, and almost no one knew that the emperor of this small country had such power.
Unfortunately, no one is perfect, and even the most seasoned horse will stumble. During one of the engagements with the British, Napoleon's army made a major military mistake.
The word Waterloo, which originated from a famous war, has also become synonymous with the expression of defeat and overturning on the Internet today. Just like Napoleon, after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, could never regain his past glory.
Let's talk about a brawler who had high hopes but was known for having the worst reputation. He was none other than the Nazi Führer Adolf Hitler, whose image is still notorious to this day.
However, in Hitler's early years, he did a lot of deeds for the people's livelihood in Germany with his superb political skills and keen economic sense.
At that time, Hitler really started from the people at the bottom and made efforts to safeguard the interests of the common people of the country.
Hitler's election as the head of the German Führer won the support of a wide range of people, especially in the face of rising economic output and rising national disposable income.
However, as time passed, Hitler's ideas gradually became radical and arrogant, and he began to advocate foreign wars of aggression, which put German society in a difficult situation.
The background color of this figure gradually changes from white to gray and finally to thick black. Hitler, as the initiator of the Second World War, bore all the criticism and accusations.
We are telling so many military figures, not to promote the merits of war and violence, but to learn from history, so that people can look back on history and respect history. In the long history of human civilization, we look for the roots and causes of things, and summarize the experience of our predecessors to avoid the future getting out of control.
