In the flames of the Korean War, our brave volunteers faced a far superior United Army, they were poorly equipped and well-equipped, and every step was full of hardships and challenges.
Although the outside world is generally concerned about the confrontation with the US military, in fact, the Volunteer Army is fighting against a powerful lineup of 17-nation coalition forces. What is amazing is that even at a disadvantage, the volunteers still won the war with incomparable tenacity and guarded the peace of the country and the people.
Then, the bravery of those multinational forces that were suppressed by the strength of the volunteer army in the battle and the changes after the war are worthy of our in-depth **.
Friends who are passionate about this topic are warmly invited to move their fingers"Press and hold for two seconds and like"and give us strong support! Don't forget"Attention"Let's explore the depths of this history.
In those fiery years, the United ** lineup was strong, including the United States, Britain and other 17 countries of warriors, such as the United Kingdom, although the former empire was no longer glorious, but it was still not to be underestimated in the post-war reconstruction.
In the Korean War, although Britain made bold statements, but its performance in actual combat revealed the boundaries of strength - the three royal forces were severely defeated, and the figures were shocking, making people think deeply about their lessons in the war.
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Britain has waged a protracted contest with our country, and for countless years, whether official or civilian, we have firmly resisted the invasion of the enemy.
However, with the passage of time, today's Britain is no longer what it used to be, unable to launch any more aggression, and is facing many troubles of its own, and the former empire on which the sun never sets is gone.
When people think of Canada, one often comes to mind"Hang the child"image. In the Korean War, although it claimed to have put in more than 27,000 soldiers, seemingly all-out, in reality the number was only a few hundred.
Canada's attitude is more of a superficial impassionedness, with little active engagement in actual combat, and it is often one of the fastest to retreat.
Of course, both Canada in the past and it is now, it exudes a uniqueness"Laid back"Temperament: As the second largest country in the world, its population hovers below 100 million, and its regular army is even smaller, less than 100,000.
On the border with the United States, military deployments appear stretched and unable to adequately respond. Although Canada is a big capitalist country, I am afraid that the name of a strong country is not true.
Its influence and appeal are really average, and it can barely be called a decent sense of existence. In Australia, in the southern hemisphere, the situation is different. This continent-wide country is so rich in mineral resources that it almost monopolizes the global market.
However, in the Korean War, despite Australia's rare enthusiastic dedication, in the actual participation in the war, both in terms of the number of personnel and combat effectiveness, the performance was not satisfactory, and it was often pressed by the volunteer army step by step, and played a limited role.
Australia, this is known as:"A treasure trove of rich minerals", with abundant **, coal and iron ore resources, it has accumulated great wealth for decades. China used to be an important partner of its mineral industry, and the surplus between the two countries has attracted the attention of the world.
In recent years, however, Australia appears to have failed to capitalize on its close ties with China, missing out on opportunities presented by its former ally. Turkey played a non-negligible role in the Korean War, and the once-glorious Ottoman Turkish Empire experienced the vicissitudes of history.
For Turkey, the war was not only a stage for reinvigorating its national prestige, but it was also a time for them to devote their troops, to be aggressive on the battlefield, and to fight every battle with determination.
To put it another way, Turkey contributed countless joys in the Korean War. As soon as the war began, language became an invisible barrier for Turkey, and the communication between different Chinese needed to be translated and threaded, which inadvertently gave birth to an oolong incident.
During an ambush operation, the Turkish army mistakenly took a team"China"The soldiers were targeted, and in the fierce battle, despite the shouts in Korean, the enthusiastic shooting of the Turks did not stop.
As a result, they captured a South Korean unit, nearly infuriating the United Nations commander. After the war, Turkey's path to development was a mystery, it tried to emulate but failed, its economy was in trouble, and although it claimed to be a European country, it struggled in Asia.
However, Turkey still maintains its regional influence with its strategic ports. On the contrary, Thailand, as a typical Southeast Asian country, although actively participated in the Korean War, was much inferior in strength compared to the Volunteer Army.
After the war, Thailand followed in the footsteps of the United States, through freedom** and market openness, and became a shining star in Asia's development from 1986 to 1996.
At first, Thailand enjoyed the joy of economic prosperity, but the good times were short-lived, and the eyes of the American financial giant Soros were as sharp as an eagle, and he saw the potential weaknesses of the Thai economy.
Soros's keen sense of smell led him to an opportunity in the 1998 financial crisis, where he rallied with a host of investors to launch a shock on the Thai economy. Under the double pressure, Thailand's development path has suffered serious setbacks.
Similarly, the Philippines went all out in the Korean War, but it was still in its infancy, breaking free from World War II and colonial history. In the contest against the Chinese Volunteers, the Philippine side was obviously insufficient, and the results were lackluster.
The Philippines, the pearl of the western Pacific Ocean, has a unique landscape with its many islands and diverse ethnic groups, and its relationship with China is compelling. In the past, relying on the support of the United States, it has attracted the attention of global capital, but the Philippines' progress has been stalled by its own troubles.
Internal strife and the imbalance in the direction of development have constrained the take-off of the economy. The employment pressure caused by the expansion of the population has led people to rely on overchildbearing, and they have fallen into a vicious circle.
During the Marcos period, the problem of corruption was serious, which exacerbated the country's economic difficulties, and the aid funds fell into the pockets of individuals, and the excessive power of ** made the problem even worse.
The stark contrast between Marcos's personal wealth skyrocketing but the lives of ordinary people not significantly improved is striking. In the Korean War, although the U.S. military was the main force, the South Korean ** team mainly relied on the U.S. military to contend with it, and the volunteers made the U.S. military taste the pain with their simple equipment.
In the frustration of the Fourth Campaign, MacArthur, the leading figure of the United States, was sharply questioned by Truman: "Do you really understand war?" ”
This was undoubtedly a blow to his command ability. Although MacArthur and his successor, Ridgway, were outstanding generals, the outcome against the valiant Volunteer Army was no longer much discussed.
Whoever the opponent is, China and its People's Liberation Army (PLA) are certain to win, and they have proven with strength that every challenge can be easily met. Once despised and underestimated, China made a resounding answer with the victory of the war and the rise of the country.
Today, China plays a key role on the global stage, and there is no substitute for both its development achievements and international influence.
