War of Resistance

The War of Resistance refers to a prolonged conflict where a nation fights to defend itself against invading forces, aiming to maintain its sovereignty and independence. In particular, it often describes China's struggle against Japanese invasion from 1937 to 1945 during World War II. This war involved immense sacrifices, extensive guerrilla warfare, and efforts to mobilize the population and resources. It is regarded as a unifying national effort that strengthened patriotism and contributed significantly to defeating the aggressors, ultimately leading to the country's liberation from occupation and reaffirmation of its national sovereignty.
