How Did Mao Take Power In China? The War That Changed The World

Recommendable! The Chinese-Japanese War was apparently very bloody and protracted compared to WW II. Did you know e.g. that Stalin signed a non-aggression pact (Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact) with Japan in April 1941 thereby betraying the Chinese communists under Mao.

Note too that Japan apparently used Chemical weapons frequently in China in violation of international treaties; that the League of Nations or Western countries were largely ignorant or impotent to address the Japanese aggression. Appeasement is an invitation to warmongers!
