Detailed explanation-1: -The beginning of the war is conventionally dated to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937, when a dispute between Japanese and Chinese troops in Peking escalated into a full-scale invasion. Some Chinese historians consider the start of the war as the Japanese invasion of Manchuria on 18 September 1931.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) was one of the most destructive conflicts of World War II. It began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of July 7, 1937, and ended with Japan’s surrender on September 2, 1945.
Detailed explanation-3: -World War II began on July 7, 1937-not in Poland or at Pearl Harbor, but in China. On that date, outside of Beijing, Japanese and Chinese troops clashed, and within a few days, the local conflict had escalated to a full, though undeclared, war between China and Japan.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seeking raw materials to fuel its growing industries, Japan invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria in 1931. By 1937 Japan controlled large sections of China, and war crimes against the Chinese became commonplace.
Detailed explanation-5: -This marked the beginning of a ten-year armed struggle, known in mainland China as the “Ten-Year Civil War” () which ended with the Xi’an Incident, when Chiang Kai-shek was forced to form the Second United Front against invading forces from the Empire of Japan.
