"The Battle of China," Chapter VI of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight"
series, explains why the Empire of Japan possessed such a strong
interest in ruling the disparate lands of China. In an attempt to break
the will of the Chinese people in one massive assault, Japan invades
Nanking and massacres forty thousand civilians. The attack results in
an opposite effect, galvanizing the Chinese resistance and unifying the
separate lands into a single Chinese identity. While the Japanese take
control of all Chinese ports, hoping to cut off all resources from its
victim, China's allies effectuate an engineering miracle. They
construct the seven hundred mile long Burma Road over the mountains of
Myanmar, and set up a constant caravan of trucks to ship food and
materiel to the Chinese armies, keeping them alive. Frustrated by their
inability to conquer China, the Japanese turn their attention to the
islands of the Pacific, and the United States.

  • PEOPLE WHO SEE THIS MESSAGE.

    Do NOT listen to oddballrach. He is trying to twist history to make it look like japan is all good and china is all liars and is bad. I have to say, japan was after power back then. Just like any other nation. It is human greed and no-one can stop it.

  • When General Stillwell discovered the widespread corruption of Chang Kai-Chek and his corrupted party, he personally went to Roosevelt and told him of this. What did Roosevelt do? He fired Stillwell, and replaced him!

    C'mon, why are you try to prove that the Japanese are not only vicious, but also cowardly? If you dare to do it, then have the courage to admit your mistake. I was convinced by the Chinese proof on two issues: 1) there was a deliberate plan in the killings around Nanking; and 2) the atrocities are systematic and prolonged. Hence, not accidental killings around Nanking, but systematic killing based on race alone: genocide!

  • Omw Chinese people is the good side not the japenese people omw if u no

    I'm chinese and I'm nt just saying coz I am one my grandfather who is still alive today's dad was a doctor back then tryin to save people but the japs just killed him japs are no good their mean and bad they are the worst but that earthquake they had was bad and I donated coz I am nice it was reall bad so god bless them :)

  • nuke them evil japs, worthless scum of the earth to this day, they obviously have no backbone-thats why we occupy them, china will never have revenge on japs because we protect them now, hahaha, japs

  • nuke them evil japs, worthless scum of the earth to this day

  • Praising Chinese ally while being racist towards the Japs. Comparing the racial deference between Chinese and Japs to support that Chinese are the right side to be with. Kind of funny to watch. People at time did care too much about races. No wonder there was Nazi.

  • The first country who able to taste of nuclear bomb is Japan. Good taste.

  • @oddballrach dude.. no matter what you say, no-one will believe you. stop trying to twist history. there cant be japanese-chinese babies in nanking if they are raped to much. it disables them from having a baby. besides, most rapes happened right before they were killed. japan is bad, but it is also good. please stop spamming youtube.

  • (Part10) Therefore, the Chinese was absorbed in collecting proofs even during the IMTFE has opened. In short, the Chinese had already fixed the number of casualties into more than 300,000 before they began to collect the evidence. Chinese government said Japanese killed 300,000 people and raped 80,000 over a period of six weeks. In short, the Japanese are accused of having murdered 7,000 people and raped 2000 women each day. Have you seen descendants of Japanese-Chinese half-blood in Nanking?
