War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which lasted for eight years, apparently originated from the accidental incident of Lugouqiao Incident, but in essence it was the inevitable product of the Japanese deliberate aggression plot.

Driven by aggressive ambition, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan changed the general goal of "making Qiang Bing rich" to "making Qiang Bing rich", and along the path of militarism, it constructed a five-step mainland policy of "seizing Taiwan Province Province, annexing Korea, seizing Manchuria, conquering China and dominating the world".
