Here's a look at China (specifically Hong Kong and Shanghai) sometime in the 1930's (likely well before the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in July 1937). The colorized and sound-added film is focused on the various ways human energy is involved in transport, fishing, and other endeavors. At the very end is a brief view of an circa WWI American warship, presumably anchored near Shanghai.
The Japanese started working to destabilize China long before the war "began".
ReplyDeleteUnderstood, starting with the 1931 invasion of Manchuria.
