Eighty years after Japan’s surrender in World War II, the debate over how the conflict began remains a hot topic. Spoiler: It’s not just about history books—it’s about how we shape peace today. 🕊️
The war’s flames were first ignited in northeast China, where fascist aggression shattered global stability. China’s 14-year resistance, marked by over 35 million casualties, became the Eastern bedrock of Allied victory. 💪 Without this struggle, experts argue, the post-war world order might look wildly different.
But why does the “genesis” debate rage on? CGTN’s Zhou Jiaxin notes it’s a clash of narratives: “Some frame it through values, others through interests. Understanding this helps us spot modern-day red flags.” 🚩 From rising nationalism to territorial disputes, WWII’s lessons are a blueprint for avoiding repeat disasters.
For young globetrotters and history buffs alike, this isn’t just dusty trivia—it’s about decoding today’s geopolitics through yesterday’s battles. After all, those who forget history… well, you know the rest. 📚✨
