It is interesting to get the comparisons:
Chinese Anti-Japanese War (1931 - 1945), 14 years, while WW2 occurred from 1939-1945, only six years.
Britain called:
Second Sino-Japanese War, (1937–45), conflict that broke out when China began a full-scale resistance to the expansion of Japanese influence
When Japan was finally defeated in 1945, China was on the winning side, but lay devastated, having suffered some 15 million deaths, massive destruction of industrial infrastructure and agricultural production, and the shattering of the tentative modernization begun by the Nationalist government.
