I Know I Have Right to say this, people it's in the past...

If you can't forget the ugly past, you can't create a beautiful future...

I mean What Can I Do, I'm Just born in the new generations and yes

I know about Japan's not-so-pretty past but seriously we can't blame the new generations for what the old generation cause. I know this is gonna get a thumbs down...but wutever.

So while the KMT lost most battles, it still had a lot of manpower to draw on and a lot of foreign support to keep it armed and financially alive. Also the KMT traded space and allowing the Japanese to advance while flanking it and attacking its rear areas and making the Japanese withdraw. So from 1939 to the end of the war in 1945. The KMT effectively stalemated the Japanese in central and Southern China.

Due to the Invasion of Indochina and Japanese becoming threatening militarilly

@AkanishiJinIsLove we will never forget this histroy.because chinese think blood need blodd to pay!

So to summarize...Japan attacked China to preserve its economic interests in China and thought to defeat China in 1 year. Having failed this, it could not get out of China and in the end, Japan destroyed itself by trying to win a unwinnable war in China...

WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.

[Bander1]

The US and UK decided to embargo japan economically...

Faced with a possible economic collapse and a military defeat in China(no oil, Japanese armies cannot move) decided to take the resources and continue the war in China by attacking US and Allied territory in the Pacific.

Japan's biggest and most fatal mistake. which in three years from 1942-1945 would see the defeat of Japan, the destruciton of its military and economy and the remaking of Japan under USA control.

and blockade Chinese ports and pressuring the British and French not to trade with the KMT. This was partially successful as the Japanese managed to blockade and capture Chinese ports but the KMT was still able to get in supplies from its western border with the USSR. The USSR was the only country from 1937-1941 to masively supply the KMT with weapons and equipment to fight the Japanese and keep alive the KMT. The US, UK and France lent financial aid to the KMT to keep its economy from collapse.

[Bander1]

By 1941, the Japanese were stuck in a war in China which they could not win, which was destroying their society, military and economy. Because of the war, there was rationing in Japan, economy was depressed, the entire Japanese economy was devoted to fighting the war in China and Japan had a massive debt. Also the Japanese since 1937 had lost like 500,000 men killed(100,000) or permenently (400,000).

The Japanese also tried to destroy the KMT economically by trying to close off

[Bander1]

So in a nutshell the Japanese could not get out of China since it would be economic and political suicide for the Japanese to do so.

So from 1939-1941. The Japanese were trying to win the war in China by politically destroying the KMT which abysmally failed. The Japanese military offensives during this time was designed to weaken and preempt the KMT military and bring it to the negotiating table.

During this time, the Japanese tried to negotiate many times with the KMT but failed.

[Bander1]

seriously of withdrawing from China but this would have been political suicide as it would be an admission of defeat and a collapse of the Japanese government. Also the Japanese had invested a lot of economy and manpower in the war. The Japanese economy was on a war footing and was depressed. The Japanese also owed a lot of money to foreign banks especially the US and UK banks also the Japanese were reliant on the USA and UK for oil and resources to continue the fight in China.
