abstract
  • The Japanese drive to become a great power required the domination of China. They defeated the Chinese prior in the First Sino-Japanese War in the 1890s and took away Korea. In 1931 they took overManchuria and expanded the south.After Manchuria was taken over , Japan set up many industries to take advantage of the country's resources which had rich amounts of coal and other minerals. A key moment came in 1937. Under agreements going back to the beginning of the century countries with legations in China had the right to keep troops there in modest numbers for protection. Small numbers of both Japanese and Chinese soldiers were stationed near what in the West was called the Marco Polo Bridge, because the explorer had seen and described its predecessor, near the town of Wanping outside Beijing.
