Anti-Japanese War

The Anti-Japanese War, which lasted from 1937 to 1945, was China's armed resistance against Japan's invasion and aggression during World War II. Japan sought to expand its empire into China, leading to widespread conflict, atrocities, and suffering across Chinese territory. The war involved significant battles, resistance from Chinese forces and civilians, and drew support from Allied nations. It ended with Japan's defeat, marking a critical moment in China's modern history and contributing to the broader Allied victory in World War II.
