Is taking advantage of this to take more and more control And so they're in the midst of the civil war. The Kuomintang led by general Chiang Kai-shek. And that civil war is between the Nationalists, the KuomintangĪnd the Communists versus the Communists The Communists led by Mao Zedong. So there is a civil war going on in China. And we do remember what is happening in China in the 1930s. And in this case it is the Empire of Japan. But they're really controlled likeĪ puppet by someone else. And they kind of pretend to be in charge. And when we call something a puppet state, it means that there is a government there. So this right over here, this is in 1931. It had already occupied Korea as of 1910. In the early 1900s it had already occupied. Japan is becoming more and more militaristic. When we look at it from a western point of view But if we go back even to the early 1900s. Which probably doesn't get enough attention Or what happened in the lead up? And to start I am actually going to focus It is really just a think about how did things get started. And I won't even be able to cover it all in this video.

There were lots of war crimes also made by Japan. The Chinese government was kind of weak in a way at that time while uniting its people, Japan attacked China with no declaration of war brutally killing residents and also forcing Koreans to join the war, making the Japanese territory spread like wildfire. In order to support the growing economy and military, the resource full Chinese territory was in Japan's eyes. They could put their troops in Korea and attack more easily upward to Manchuria and China. Taking over Korea gave them power, more resources, confidence, and land. The growing population and the idea of imperialism also the adoption of modern technology from the western countries gave them a chance to take over Korea in the forced treaty of Japan-Korea Annexation 1910. There were always Japanese invasions toward Korea like the Imjin War and the Chungyu War(1592–1598)and other small big wars before and after that. Japan isn't suitable for sustaining big farms and domestic animals for a long period of time. Geologically Japan is an island, the island formed because of the tectonic plates beneath them so there are always earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, large tsunamis. ![]() ![]() ![]() Canadian airmen fought in the Battle of Britain, North Africa, Italy, and the Normandy invasion. 48 squadrons of the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) served in Europe. ![]() In addition the supported amphibious landings.
