EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the beginning of the Japanese invasion of Nanking (Nanjing), China, in 1937. The image depicts Japanese artillery positioned on a street, with shells ready to be fired towards the South Gate of the city. The ominous smoke rising from the guns signifies the imminent bombardment that would soon follow. Japanese infantry, clad in helmets and uniforms, are seen waiting in the background, poised to move in once the city's defenses have been breached. The Battle of Nanking, also known as the Rape of Nanking, was a significant event during the Sino-Japanese War. Lasting from December 1937 to early 1938, it resulted in the deaths of an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers. The atrocities committed during this period, including mass rapes, looting, and forced labor, are considered some of the worst war crimes of the 20th century. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war on civilian populations. It also highlights the brutal tactics employed by the Japanese military during their invasion of China, which ultimately contributed to the deterioration of relations between China and Japan and set the stage for future conflicts between the two nations.
