Expansion of the Frontline and the Chinese People’s Resistance

Stopping Japan’s Invasion 1937

After the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, China began to seek a multilateral partnership by appealing against Japan’s actions to the League of Nations. China concluded a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union to reinforce their ties. Moreover, the Kuomintang Party and the Chinese Communist Party decided to form the “Anti-Japanese National United Front” (The Second United Front). To continue the war against Japan, China relocated its capital city from Nanking to Wuhan, and then to Chongqing. Japan’s repeated bombing of Chongqing is believed to be Asia’s first indiscriminate bombing of cities.
