Throughout the history of the world, what famous "gambling on national luck" events have happened?
1962 "Cuban Missile Crisis" is a gambling event between the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union were two superpowers on the earth. In order to gain the dominance of leading the world, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony. The United States found that the Soviet Union wanted to deploy nuclear weapons in Cuba, a neighboring country of the United States, which the United States absolutely could not tolerate, so it threatened the Soviet Union, and the United States did not hesitate to use nuclear counterattacks to stop the Soviet Union's actions. At that time, the Soviet Union wanted to send an arrow on the string, so it did not show weakness at all. At this time, in order to overwhelm each other, the United States and the Soviet Union began to prepare for the final confrontation with the fate of all mankind and the luck of their own nation. The United States and the Soviet Union are at daggers drawn. With a little impulse, all mankind will be destroyed by their own nuclear weapons. Fortunately, at the last minute, one party finally retreated and human beings survived.
1962, Indian Prime Minister Nehru also gambled on his national wealth. Nehru openly invaded China in order to realize his so-called goal of being a great power, without knowing the enemy and ourselves, and completely underestimating China's resistance consciousness and military strength. At that time, China's old rival, MacArthur, who had just met Chinese people's Volunteer Army in the Korean War, said that India must be crazy and wanted to challenge China on land. As we all know, India ended in fiasco, and its Prime Minister Nehru stepped down, and finally died of depression. For us, this war has ensured the stability of China's western border for 50 years, while India has ruined its own national fortune.
When it comes to gambling in the National Games, we have to mention one country, Japan. Historically, Japan is a country that is very keen on gambling on national luck, so it can be said that a gambler's thoughts are completely exposed.
Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to rise and its national strength became stronger and stronger. Slowly, Japan began to embark on the road of expansion. As early as China got two armored ships, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, the Japanese had a cry, wishing to break the development process of China through a war. So the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out. Although the strength of Beiyang Navy was slightly stronger than that of Japanese Navy, the result of the war was that Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated. Through the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan received a large amount of compensation from the Qing government, and its national strength was further enhanced. However, the Qing government lost the opportunity of development and was one step closer to collapse. Obviously, Japan won this bet on the National Games, from which they tasted the sweetness and laid the groundwork for their crazier behavior in the future.
194 1 in the early morning of, the Japanese navy dispatched an aircraft carrier and submarine to attack the American base in Hawaii, which was the famous Pearl Harbor incident in history. At the beginning of the campaign, Japan won, but the United States, which had been hesitant in the war, made up its mind to formally declare war on Japan. Since then, the situation in Japan has gone from bad to worse, so that the United States finally attacked Japan and dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan declared its unconditional surrender. Japan's gamble on national luck this time can be said to be a complete failure.
