The Battle of China (Frank Capra) (1945)

"The Battle of China" (64 minutes) is part VI of the 1945 documentary series Why We Fight, produced by Frank Capra. It explains why the Japanese Empire aimed to dominate China. But the Japanese invasion of Nanking in which 40,000 civilians were killed, resulted in unifying and galvanizing the Chinese people against the Japanese. The Chinese construct the 7,000 mile Burma Road in less than 12 months to keep the Chinese armies well supplied. As a result, Japan is unable to conquer China.
