22 sept. 1937 - The Second Sino-Japanese War

Description:

This conflict broke out when China began a full-scale resistance to the expansion of Japanese influence in its territory (which has begun in 1931 w/ Manchuria). The war, which remained undeclared until December 9, 1941, may be divided into three phases: a period of rapid Japanese advance until the end of 1938, a period of virtual stalemate until 1944, and the final period when Allied counterattacks, principally in the Pacific and on Japan's home islands, brought about Japan's surrender.
