The struggle between the two nations for control of Korea led to the start of the war. Korea had long been China's most significant client state, but Japan became interested in Korea because to its strategic location next to the islands of sino-japanese Japan and its natural riches of coal and iron.
The path of the Chinese Revolution was significantly influenced by the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). It was a devastating war for the Chinese people, with up to 20 million losses, and was known in China as the "War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression." Korea was at the center of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894–1895. The once-dominant China was experiencing a historic collapse, which it did not fully understand until it was humiliated militarily by a newcomer. Japan was a nation that had just begun to modernize in 1868. As a result of Japan's victory over the Chinese and the establishment of Manchukuo as a new puppet state, many historians date the start of the war to 1931. China and Japan continued to engage in small, localized conflicts known as "incidents" from 1931 to 1937.
