Snapshots of the War of Resistance Against Japan

(TRENDING TAIWAN) Since its founding by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1912 as the first republic in Asia, the Republic of China has sought to bring unity, peace and prosperity to the people of China. This goal suffered a setback in 1937 with Japan’s full-scale attack on China leading to the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan. During this time, the ROC under Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek bore the brunt of Japanese aggression before emerging alongside the U.K., U.S. and USSR during WWII as a triumphant Allied power of equal standing.This is one of five videos produced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the ROC’s victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan (1937-1945).
