1 ene 1937 año - Japan invades China

Descripción:

The first major challenge to Versailles came from Japan. To become an industrial power, Japan required raw materials and overseas markets. Like the Western European powers and the United States before it, Japan embraced an expansionary foreign policy in pursuit of colonial possessions and regional influence. In 1931, Japanese troops occupied Manchuria, an industrialized province in northern China, followed by a full-scale invasion of China in 1937. In both instances, the League of Nations condemned Japan’s actions but did nothing to stop them.
