Battle of Shanghai

While the Second World War had not started, a conflict had already shaken Asia since the summer of 1937, when China resisted the imperial ambitions of Japan, present on the continent since 1931. Between August and November 1937, Japanese troops and Chinese nationalists clash in Shanghai, where Tokyo succeeds in imposing itself. But the human and political price is enormous. The cartographer Frédéric Miotto offers an analysis of this event in a comic strip.
