Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

The Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression refers to China’s prolonged war of national resistance against Imperial Japan, which began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 and lasted until Japan’s surrender in 1945. It was a major theater of World War II, marked by immense Chinese civilian and military casualties. This conflict is a foundational element of modern Chinese national identity and a cornerstone of the historical narrative of the People’s Republic of China.

World Anti-Fascist War

The World Anti-Fascist War refers to the global conflict of World War II (1939-1945), which was fought between the Allied powers and the Axis fascist regimes. It was a monumental struggle for freedom against totalitarianism, most notably involving the defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The war’s legacy includes the establishment of the United Nations and a renewed global commitment to human rights and international cooperation.
