I had an idea to make World War Two as long and with as many casualties as possible. If I make some mistakes, tell me nicely and I will fix it. Enjoy!

Prelude: the war in China 1937



After the marco polo bridge incident, Japan had invaded China. However, it was not prepared for the amount of Chinese resistance to the invasion. After the Chinese had gotten wind of the atrocities committed in the occupied territories, they fought all the harder. Partisans were rampant in Japanese "controlled" territory, attacking supply lines and reinforcements. As a result of the war, most European countries and America placed crippling economic sanctions and supplied the Kuomintang with supplies, reducing Japan's ability even further. Through these events, the Chinese front quickly became a meat grinder with no way for either side to win.
