Halhamiao Incident Of Mongolia In The 1930's

Before Nanking was invaded a tough battle in Shanghai began the war in the summer of 1937. The Chinese put up a shocking battle against japan. This was slightly embarrassing to Japan because they predicted that the would conquer all of China in only three months. The battle in Shanghai alone lasted a little over five months. This infuriated the Japanese and increased the appetite for revenge that was led up to Nanking.

Over the span of a few decades, the Japanese and Americans were as is, heading towards war due to a varying amount of disputing between the two. In the 1930’s, Japan invaded China. This caused an uproar between the two countries at the time. This was one of the first few sparks to the flame. In order to create the perfect Yamato race, the Japanese felt that there was more validity if there were no one to stop them, (Document A). Destroying the Pacific fleet was the goal so they could expand and imperialize the world around them. America, being one of their main oil producers, made them the perfect target. Leading up to the attack, America placed an embargo on Japan, (Document C). Japan wanted to destroy the Pacific Fleet to gain oil and continue imperialization to obtain the perfect Yamato

Between the years of 1927 and 1949 in China two warring sides, China’s Communist Party and China’s Nationalist Party, clashed. Although the two parties had previously worked together in the United Front against Japan when Japan tried to invade, their temporary alliance was dropped as soon as the invasion was over. Halting only for a brief period when Japan attempted to invade a second time in 1936 to form the Second United Front, the two parties resumed fighting after the invasion was over in 1945, and only stopped hostilities when the Communist party drove out the Nationalist party to Taiwan and other islands. This war brought China into a new era under a communist government, the People’s Republic of China. Massive reform and change would

The tension between the United States and Japan all began over the differences of China back in the 1930’s. The country of Manchuria, which was then a part of China, was conquered by Japan. Instead of stopping there, Japan wanted more; they wanted all of China. So in 1940, the government of Japan made an alliance with Germany. The following year, the Japanese government took over Indochina.

The next large event that happened was Japan signing the Anti-Comintern Pact in 1936. This increased tensions with the United States especially when Italy signed the pact in 1937 as Germany, Italy and Japan would all be allies.("Japan Launches A Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor: December 7, 1941"). Japan and Germany set up the pact because Germany needed help rebuilding from World War I and Japan needed help defending itself because it was alone in the east and they were tired of seeing western nations a taking over the areas around Japan.

China was part of the mainland, accessible by both land and sea. This exposed China’s borders greatly as there was much land and coast to protect, leading to consequent invasion. On the other hand, Japan was isolated as an island, only accessible by sea. This protected Japan by leaving only the coast to protect from invaders, and almost a lack of invaders. They did not have to deal with nomads in the north and west or rising empires in the south, but rather shared a common awareness with China for Russia. Both feared Russia and Europeans as well because of the new rise of their empires and their expeditions to China and Japan. Japan feared the Russians because they were pressing hard to engage in trade with them. In contrast, China feared the Russians because of their new expansion and political power after several wars and conquests. Both also greatly feared the Europeans because of their behavior at ports they were at and their aggressive style of trade and Christianity. The Chinese despised the Europeans because they were rowdy and obnoxious at port cities like Macao, while the Japanese feared the Europeans because of their aggressive conversions of Christianity that sparked some uprisings. All in all, the Japanese and Chinese had vastly different locations and geography which led to different problems arising, but

The conflict between America and Japan began back when Japan invaded China. The United States became extremely frustrated with the situation, and cut off all Japan's supplies. Japan did not take it lightly, for they ended up bombing Pearl Harbor. Once the United States was bombed, we sent out a Doolittle raid, to show the Japanese that we are not weak and can fight back. Once in the war, the United States seemed to be losing terribly. Eventually we came back on top when Germany surrenders on V-E Day, not too long before we took

The invasion of Manchuria was a Japanese invasion that tried to expand japan. When japan attack china they attacked our oil imports on china. So when embargoed all oil exports in that area, which led them to attack pearl harbor. Which is the immediate cause of the U.S. joining WWII.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Events_leading_to_the_attack_on_Pearl_Harbor)This was a geographic issue.

Japan and America have been butting heads for awhile. When Japan was struggling economically, they thought gaining more territory would be the answer. Because of this, Japan declared war on China. This

Japan was a little country of the east coast of china. This tiny country had been and isolationist country for a long time, and was in fear that the much larger country of Russia, A well known expansionist country, would over take them and eradicate their small and dying culture. Japan, not wanting to loose what little it had, wanted to make a trade with the communist country. The use of Fort Arthur for the ownership of Korea’s in the Asian territories. Russia denied but set up a buffer zone in north Korea to discuss the issues with Japan. On the 39th parallel. Japan took this as a threat, and bombed their own fort of the coast of china.

The failure of the League to stop the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1931 was followed by a rising crescendo of treaty

The article I chose was about Mark Juergensmeyer’s trip to Mongolia. Mark compared Mongolia to a trip he had taken there twenty years earlier. In the article he disused the ways Mongolia has changed for the better in addition to the ways it has not benefited. Mark talks about how the city center Ulaan Baatar has exploded with buildings, vehicles and people; while at the same time outside of the city Mongolia is the same country with dirt roads and limited resources.

In the early 13th Century an impressive and terrifying force was spreading over half the known world. Atop the backs of horses the Mongols brought down large empires with their military conquest and innovative conquest. The Mongolians started their empire as a collection of nomadic tribes struggling for supremacy. Little did they know but major kingdoms across the world were about to experience a dark age. Over the course of the Mongolian conquest the innovation in war, commerce, and diplomatic circles would change the world forever. China, Western Europe, Russia, and the Middle East were all targets for the Mongolian Empire during their short time as an almost unstoppable force. Following great leaders ranging from Chinggis, Kublai, and Ogedei the story of the Mongolian empire is one of conquest and supremacy. The Mongolian Empire was an important culture that changed the face of the world.

Irritated that the Japanese had moved into their territory, the USSR began to strongly dislike the Japanese and began to send militarily into the northern Manchuria region. Due to the United States' relatively friendly relations with both the USSR and China, it too started to publicly disapprove of the Japanese for their escalating violence.

The Second Sino-Japanese war began on July 7th, 1937 and ended on September 9th, 1945. It was a military conflict which was fought between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. As part of the struggle against fascism, Japan invaded China. It is clear that, due to the restriction of its natural resources, Japan tried to increase by robbing resources from other countries. Japan used the conquered Manchuria as a launching base for their troops. Manchuria was an enormous region that consisted of three provinces- Liaoning in the south, Jilin in the middle and Heilongjiang in the north. In 1905, when Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese war, Russia, which used Manchuria for business and
