Above is an hour long explanation of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937. Be wary that there are graphic images of violence and may not be suitable for those of a younger age, or with weak stomachs. 
The Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937 between China and Japan after an incident at the Marco Polo Bridge near Beiping in China. The war constituted many milestones for the Chinese one of which being the formation of the Second United Front between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Guomindang (GMD). The involvement of Japan and China in the Second World War aligned with the Axis Powers and the Allies respectively. It marked the final downfall of Nationalist (GMD) China and made way for the rise of Communist China (1949).
