Why is the United States called Uncle Sam? Why is Korea called Koryo Bonzi or Bonzi? Why India? It's called India Asan.

It was in 18 12 that the United States and Britain fought fiercely for the colony. At that time, there was a businessman named sam wilson in Troy, new york, who was responsible for supplying beef to the US military. Because of this, he became famous, and everyone he knew called him "Uncle Sam". According to the relevant regulations, when purchasing Uncle Sam beef, the government procurement department should stamp the "US" symbol (abbreviated as "US" or "USA") on the packing box as a mark of American property. Coincidentally, the English abbreviation of "Uncle Sam" is also "US". People will naturally associate the two names when they see that the beef passed by Uncle Sam has become the property of the United States. As a result, "Uncle Sam" gradually became the nickname of the United States. What kind of image is "Uncle Sam"? In 1930s, an American cartoonist gave full play to his imagination and described "Uncle Sam" as a thin and tall old man. I saw him with white hair, a goatee and a tall hat with stars and stripes on it. 196 1 year, the U.S congress passed a resolution to formally confirm "Uncle Sam" as a symbol of the United States. In the middle and late World War II, the Japanese army fought too many wars and its own troops were insufficient, so it recruited a large number of soldiers from the colonies (Korea and Taiwan Province Province). These troops rarely carry out combat missions, mainly in occupied areas. They are private soldiers under the Japanese in their own country. But in China, he became a second-class citizen standing on China's head. Therefore, they often beat China people with sticks. At that time, people began to call them "Koryo sticks". The origin of Indian Sam, "Red-headed Sam", may be a strange name for young people nowadays. There are several reasons why it is called "Red-headed Asan": Indian policemen wear red scarves on their heads (in fact, Indian policemen and patrol policemen wear red scarves on their heads, and guards wear yellow scarves on their heads), so it is called "Red Head". There are two opinions about "A San": First, Indians are a conquered people, and their status in the eyes of Shanghainese is lower than that of Western artillery and Chinese artillery. There is also a saying that Indians have a catchphrase "I say" and "I say", the homonym is "A San", and the red head plus A San is called "Red Head A San". The Indian occupation was a product of the Shanghai colonial period, which was unique in China. 1843 (twenty-three years of Qing Daoguang) In August, Shanghai was forcibly opened as a trading port by western colonists, and foreign adventurers poured in, demanding to buy land and build houses in Shanghai. At that time, under the threat and deception of British consul Bafor, the Qing government released the "Shanghai Lease Book" for foreigners in the name of Daotai on1October 29th, 1845+065438. Since then, the British Concession has become a "country within a country" of the Japanese invaders in Shanghai. 1849 (the 28th year of Qing Daoguang), French consul Mintini cited the precedent of British colonists, and Lingui, the Shanghai Daotai, succumbed to the pressure of the colonists, and demarcated the boundary of the French concession on April 6th, 2008. Since the Shanghai Concession is a "country within a country", it naturally has such repressive tools as armed forces, that is, international merchant shipping groups, fleet sailors, and patrols. The international business group is the main body of the armed forces in the concession, and its main responsibility is to defend the concession, but it is generally not responsible for social security. The sailors of the fleet are the backing of the international merchant fleet. Patrol, that is, the police at first, all patrols were held by westerners, so it was called western arrest. At that time, the Public Bureau of French Concession clearly stipulated: "The personnel of the inspection department should all be composed of French or foreigners who have declared their obedience to the French consulate and have been under the jurisdiction of France since then." At the peak of the British Concession, the west was captured 160 people. The salary of western capture is high, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to find western capture. In addition, there are various restrictions on western arrest, such as reconnaissance in incognito, whose appearance characteristics can't be concealed at all; Another example is to go to public places to inquire, and the difficulties caused by language barriers are also difficult to overcome; Coupled with the existence of gangs in the concession, it is difficult to go deep into the west for various reasons and find suitable candidates to be eyes and ears. The efficiency of solving crimes is not high, and the security of the concession is worrying. In short, from the opening of the patrol room at 1854, the western fishing can still be handled at the beginning. Later, the population increased sharply, criminal cases rose, and the disadvantages became more prominent. Therefore, after 1870, China people were allowed to act as policemen, which was called China arrest. Because of the obvious effect of this change, the priority is gradually reversed, that is, the catch in the west is greatly reduced and the catch in China is greatly increased. For example, in the Anglo-American Concession in 1883, there were 200 policemen patrolling, while China people arrested as many as 170 people. The more China captors are hired in the future, the more difficult it will be for the colonists to control. Starting from 1884, they began to "import" Indian nationals from British colonies, that is, "Red Head Three". When the colonists "exported" from India, they carefully selected their personnel and must be Sikhs from India. All tall and burly, bearded, daunting. However, they also have shortcomings similar to those of western arrests, so they mostly serve as patrol officers, prison guards and traffic policemen. "Red-headed Sam" came from the British colony. Strictly speaking, their status in the concession was lower than that of Shanghainese, but they were loyal "watchdogs" of the British. Dogs fight with people, and batons dance around all day, which makes Shanghainese suffer a lot, especially those vendors, drivers, boots with batons and "three red heads". In order to use "Red-headed Sam" to work hard for him faithfully, the colonists paid them twice as much as the captors in China and provided them with housing. At that time, they built a three-story Indian church in the patrol room of Gordon Road (Jiangning Road Public Security Bureau after liberation). With the end of the concession, the existence of SEALs was cancelled. The practice of French Concession in this respect is basically the same as that of British Concession. They "imported" the patrolling Annan, that is, the Vietnamese. In the eyes of Shanghainese, their bodies and skin are similar to those of Cantonese, so they are not given any nicknames or titles.
