In July 1937, after having first occupied Manchuria in 1931-1932, the Japanese Imperial Army initiated a full-blown invasion of China, practicing extreme cruelty on both Chinese civilians and soldiers. Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government formed an alliance with Mao’s Red Army to fight the Japanese. Western reporters generally presented the war effort as one in which the Nationalist Army was cowardly and led by corrupt generals, while the Communists were dedicated warriors heroically opposing the Japanese wherever they could in their areas of the battlefront.
