Imperial Japanese Army order of merit Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945

Description: Item TitleDescriptionThe **Second Sino-Japanese War** (1937–1945), often referred to historically in Japan as the **Sino-Japanese Incident**, was a major conflict between the Empire of Japan and the Republic of China. This war, which became part of the larger context of World War II, began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937. The incident escalated into full-scale warfare, and by the end of 1937, Japanese forces had captured many major Chinese cities, including Shanghai and Nanjing. During this conflict, Japan aimed to expand its influence and control over East Asia. However, China, led by both the Nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek and, to a lesser extent, the Communist forces under Mao Zedong, resisted Japanese aggression, often with significant civilian and military losses. The war was marked by brutal episodes, most notably the **Nanjing Massacre**, during which large-scale atrocities were committed by Japanese forces. The war continued for eight years, with Japan facing significant difficulties in maintaining control over occupied territories due to Chinese resistance and increasing international opposition. In 1941, with the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan expanded its military activities to other parts of Asia and the Pacific, integrating the Sino-Japanese War into the broader Pacific Theater of World War II. After years of intense fighting, the war ended on September 2, 1945, when Japan surrendered following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. This surrender also marked the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War.Shipping Send by FEDEX International Buyers - Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
