Second Sino-Japanese War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nevertheless the Japanese prospect of transferring their troops to fight the Americans was in vain and they only committed the Guandong Army from Manchuria in their "Sho plan", which later facilitated the Soviet advancement after the Soviet war declaration on August 8, 1945. In Chinese, the war is variously known as the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese War of Resistance (中国人民抗日战争), Anti-Japanese War of Resistance (抗日战争), War of Resistance (抗战), or Eight Years' War of Resistance (八年抗战). The Japanese troops in China formally surrendered on September 9, 1945 and by the provisions of the Cairo Conference of 1943 the lands of Manchuria, Taiwan and the Pescadores Islands reverted to China. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sino-Japanese_War_(1937-1945)

Early in the morning of the 17th the Japanese squadron, consisting of the battleship Fuso (3709 tons' displacement), eight cruisers (between 4278 and 2439 tons), a coast defense gunboat, and the merchant-cruiser Saikyo, having on board Rear Admiral Kabayama, discovered columns of smoke from twelve Chinese war vessels emerging one after another upon the horizon.

Sino-Japanese War The War emerged from Japanese ambitions in Korea, and the desire of the Japanese to show that they had now become the "center" of a modern Asia, as opposed to China - the traditional elder brother.

The war indemnities reached 200 Million taels, a sum that almost equaled the total yearly tax income of the whole empire of 250 million at that time. www.lcsc.edu /modernchina/u3s1p7.htm

National Defense Through Peace Vs. Rise Through Military Means---A Comparative Study Of Chinese And Japanese National Security Strategies During The First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) The Japanese historian Ariga Nagao says that “the 1876 treaty was the first open announcement of Japan’s policy toward Korea.” The American historian Henry Morse also comments that this treaty was in essence Japan’s first step towards expansion on the mainland. In comparison, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese carried out a policy of “Arming the Nation,” with the objective of overseas expansion, placing military development at the top of their agendas, further pushing for the general goal of a national “rise through military means” targeted directly at invading the Asia mainland. In 1881, with Japanese support, the Koreans established a “Special Skills Army,” which would play an important role in a mutiny and a coup years later that were both engineered by the Japanese from behind. www.uscc.gov /researchpapers/translated_articles/2005/05_07_18_National_Defense_Through_Peace_Vs_Rise_Through_Military_Means.htm   (4850 words)
