China’s War of Resistance against Japanese aggression is presented as 1931–1945 in the memorial institution’s historical account.
Reference context#
The account begins with the 18 September 1931 incident and ends in 1945. This broader period should be distinguished from accounts concentrating on the full-scale war beginning in 1937.
