SDHF Newsletter No. 23: The Second Sino-Japanese War Was Caused by China

March 5, 2010

It is generally believed that Japan was an aggressor nation against China for
the Second Sino?Japanese War. This is a view not founded on the historical events,
however. The Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the opening event of the conflict, was
orchestrated by China; and the Shanghai Incident, which was the beginning of the
full-scale war, was unilaterally initiated by China. The facts introduced in this
article explain how the conflict was initiated and escalated.
Japanse government during the conflict proposed peace plans many times which never
included territorial or special interest requirements. But they were all rejected by
the Chiang Kai-shek government and therefore the conflict continued.
