The Rape of Nanjing
Japan had used an excuse a Chinese Attack on a Japanese Railway near the city of Mukden. In fact, the "Mukden incident" had been carried out by Japanese Soldiers disguised as Chinese.
Japan invaded China in 1937. The Japanese fought against the Chinese until the Second World War ended in 1945. The Chinese do not call it World War 2. The Chinese were only fighting the Japanese during this period, so the Chinese people call it "The War Against Japanese Aggression". It is also referred to as the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese soldiers killed many Chinese people. There is a very good book and movie called "The Rape of Nanking". The Japanese soldiers cut off the heads of many Chinese people. They raped many thousands of Chinese women. They threw babies into the air and caught the babies on the tips of their bayonets. They buried many Chinese people alive. To this day, many Chinese people do not like the Japanese.

The reaction to the Chinese being invaded by Japanese soldiers is complicated because there is a long history between the two nations. The Chinese did try to resist but when they did the Japanese murdered the civilians and some military. The Chinese were able to secure help from the United States. American pilots came to help shoot down the Japanese. They also helped with the Burma road construction engineering. See related link below.
