Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNWzRCAAHXN/?igshid=ewxgrdq8ky2z

Asia Pacific 72 years ago today: Indonesian War of Independence (04 Aug 1947) https://buff.ly/2yCeMF6 Indonesian nationalists had proclaimed independence two days after the Japanese surrender, beginning a war to liberate the East Indies from Dutch colonial rule. The Netherlands, only recently freed from German occupation, took over a year to send troops south in an attempt to crush the revolution. However, with the US granting independence to the Philippines (1946) and the British to India (1947), the colonial era in Asia was coming to an end and Dutch actions were internationally condemned. #asiapacific #history #welovehistory #imperialism #map #1940s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1947 #august #august4 #chinesecivilwar #coldwar #indochina #indonesia #indonesiaindependence #dutcheastindies #indonesianhistory #dutchempire #colonialism #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Jakarta, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0u4eqKgs55/?igshid=cq9ufgjwx8zn

Asia Pacific 91 years ago today: Jinan Incident (11 May 1928) https://buff.ly/2LCi6JH Aided by the Guangxi clique, the Chinese Nationalists drove the Communists into the mountains in late 1927. With the Communists out of the way, Chiang Kaishek was ready to resume his march on Beijing.

Asia Pacific 82 years ago today: Marco Polo Bridge Incident (07 Jul 1937) https://buff.ly/2RXs4EK Many Chinese Nationalists saw Japan as the main threat and were unhappy with Chiang Kaishek's focus on destroying the Communists. In late 1936, they stepped in to force him to accept a United Front against Japan. Conflict erupted in Beiping (then the name for Beijing) in July the next year, when edgy Nationalist troops fired on Japanese performing military maneuvers at Marco Polo Bridge. #asiapacific #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1930s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1937 #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #pacificwar #sinojapanesewar #japanesehistory #july #july7 #chiangkaishek #ww2 #secondsinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Marco Polo-bron) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzm-D7jgQkN/?igshid=ksulcf9jcvmt
