First Invasion From China

China and Japan fought many wars. But China never invaded Japan. Why? China located in the most affluent area, so they didn't have to get out of the land they live. Instead many surrounding peoples often invaded China. Both Mongolian and Manchurian once conquered Han people and established some dynasty in China's long history.

One time there was a time Mongolian Empire had invaded Japan in 1274-1281. Han people came along with their ruler at that time -Mongolians, but they were reluctant to come here. The number of soldiers they sent to Japan was 53000. Aside from this, Japanese always kept on invading China. The first war between two countries occurred in 663. Japan sent 32000 personels. Baegang -one of the three countries in Korea, and Japan, those two countries had formed a kind of united kingdom at that time. Japan lost the War of Baegang. The navy of Tong dynasty was much stronger and bigger than that of Japan.

In 1592 to 1598, Japan again tried to invade China by sending roughly 150000 soldiers in Korea twice. Korean fought the war in alliance with Chinese Ming dynasty. Japan lost.

The last war between China and Japan took place in 1937 to 1945. The first landing place was Shanghai, later they invaded up to Nanjing. The atrocity Japanese army made was only comparable to Soviet-German War from 1941 to 1945.

Recently the sky of my town is foggy. Local meteorologists claim the air from rapidly industrialised area around Shanghai is coming here. This is the first invasion by China from the air. The country whose economy is significantly declining can do nothing for it but to look on this.
