1937 What year was the North China Incident?

The North China Incident refers to a series of incidents in which the Japanese invaders invaded North China in 1935 after the fall of Northeast China in the September 18th Incident. This is an important step for the Japanese to invade China and dominate the world. Although it was a temporary success, it was resolutely opposed by the people of China.

A series of Japanese aggression events in North China have brought the situation in North China to a critical juncture, and the political situation in China has undergone major changes with great influence.

First of all, the North China Incident made the ethnic contradiction between China and Japan rise to a dominant position. The North China Incident fully exposed the ambition of Japanese imperialism to destroy China and turn China into its colony as its strategic base for dominating Asia and conquering the world. The North China Incident was an important step of Japanese aggression against China. After the incident, Japan is ready to expand the war to a wider scope. 1in August, 936, the cabinet of hirota decided to "ensure the status of the empire in the East Asian continent on the one hand; On the other hand, it faces the development of the ocean. Its aggressive ambition is obvious [4].

Secondly, the North China Incident made China's anti-Japanese national salvation movement rise further and became an important opportunity for the two parties in the country to move from confrontation to unity. After the North China Incident, the Chinese nation faced the crisis of national subjugation and extinction. People from all walks of life across the country set off an upsurge of resisting Japan and saving the nation, demanding that the civil war be stopped and the anti-Japanese war be unified. The "December 29th Movement" promoted the new awakening of the Chinese nation and set off a new climax of resisting Japan and saving the nation. Under this influence, the Xi incident reflected the intensification of internal division of the Kuomintang, indicating that resisting Japan and saving the nation was in the interests of the whole Chinese nation. The peaceful settlement of the incident opened the prelude to the transition from civil war to peace and from separatist confrontation to bipartisan cooperation, marking the basic end of the civil war situation for ten years and the initial formation of the anti-Japanese national United front.

Third, the North China Incident changed the relationship between the two sides and made it possible for them to cooperate for the second time. After the incident, China issued the "August 1st Declaration" calling for stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan. The Wayaobao Conference determined the policy of establishing an anti-Japanese national united front, and in September 1936, it issued the "Instructions on Forcing Chiang Kai-shek to Resist Japan", officially changing the general policy of "opposing Chiang Kai-shek" to "Forcing Chiang Kai-shek to Resist Japan", and the struggle was directed at imperialism.

Fourth, the North China Incident led to a sharp division within the Kuomintang ruling clique, leading to differences in Japan policy, and formed pro-American factions headed by Chiang Kai-shek and pro-Japanese factions headed by Wang Jingwei.

Finally, the North China incident deepened the contradiction between the United States, Britain and Japan. After the North China Incident, Japan controlled North China politically and militarily. They fostered traitors and comprador, pieced together many economic institutions, and made the economy of North China increasingly colonized. The expansion of Japan's economic power in North China has harmed the economic interests of American and British imperialism in North China. So Britain and the United States supported the pro-British faction in the Kuomintang ruling group to boycott Japan.
