太祖曾言：“枪在手，权我有。” 有一位江湖风云人物则笑言：“葵花在手，江山我有。” 以暴力支撑的权力体系终究未入现代文明之门，在欲望膨胀之时，理想也被权力吞噬而偏离初衷，难免丛林法则轮回之苦。#war #warhistory #civilwarhistory #chinesecivilwar (at Jingbian) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ln1-xpQlI/?igshid=1jc73p5svk21b

East Asia 73 years ago today: Battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa (08 May 1945) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19450508/ By now the United States was ready to advance on the Japanese home islands. In February, US forces landed on Iwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, followed two months later by Okinawa in the Ryukyus. In both cases, the Japanese defended ferociously, mounting numerous suicide attacks. The fighting in Okinawa alone saw over 200,000 deaths, including 95% of the Japanese defenders and as much as half of the civilian population. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1945 #asiapacificwar #australia #burma #cambodia #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #british #indochina #indonesia #iwojima #japan #japanesehistory #laos #maps #may #may8 #dutcheastindies #russia #ryukyuislands #secondsinojapanesewar #unitedstates #vietnam #worldwarii #okinawa #map #sinojapanesewar #war #worldwar2 #ww2 #pacificwar #asia #pacific #usa (at Okinawa, Okinawa)

East Asia 75 years ago today: Guadalcanal Campaign (09 Feb 1943) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19430209/ Over the next four months, the Japanese attempted to dislodge the Americans from Guadalcanal with repeated attacks by land, air and sea. Unable to prevail, Japan withdrew over the first months of 1943. The strategic advantage in the Pacific was now in Allied hands. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1943 #pacificwar #asiapacificwar #australia #burma #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #february #february9 #britain #uk #britishempire #japan #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #maps #russia #secondsinojapanesewar #unitedstates #worldwarii #ww2 (at Henderson Field)

East Asia 80 years ago today: Marco Polo Bridge Incident (07 Jul 1937) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19370707/ Many Chinese Nationalists saw Japan as the main threat and were unhappy with Chiang Kaishek's focus on destroying the Communists. In late 1936, they stepped in to force him to accept a United Front against Japan. Conflict erupted in Beiping (then the name for Beijing) in July the next year, when edgy Nationalist troops fired on Japanese performing military maneuvers at Marco Polo Bridge. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1930s #1937 #burma #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #germany #greatbritain #india #innermongolia #japan #japanesehistory #july #july7 #kuomintang #maps #mongolia #secondsinojapanesewar (at Marco Polo Bridge)

East Asia 89 years ago today: Jinan Incident (11 May 1928) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19280511/ Aided by the Guangxi clique, the Chinese Nationalists drove the Communists into the mountains. With the Communists out of the way, Chiang Kaishek was ready to resume his march on Beijing. However when he attacked the Fengtian clique, the Japanese intervened, expelling the Nationalists from the strategic city of Jinan. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1920s #1928 #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #japan #japanesehistory #kuomintang #maps #may #may11 #warlordchina #wuhan (at Jinan)

East Asia 76 years ago today: Franco-Thai War (13 Apr 1941) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19410413/ Thailand saw the French capitulation to Japan as weakness, seizing the opportunity to regain lost territories by invading French Indochina. The Japanese quickly put a stop to this war, but supported Thai claims at the ensuing peace treaty. With its focus now on the south, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1941 #april #april13 #burma #cambodia #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #france #germany #greatbritain #italy #japan #japanesehistory #kuomintang #laos #maps #russia #secondsinojapanesewar #thailand (at Pakse, Champasak)
