The rape of Nanking was one of the most terrible atrocities of World War II. The Japanese methodically moved south, seizing control of most of eastern China and all of the major ports by the time war broke out in Europe. (1939).

Nonsense. That was just a conflict between two countries. The invasion of Poland directly led to the declaration of war on Germany by France and the UK.

Only because we refused to have any sympathy for the CHINESE. Our refusel to become involved in the conflict lead directly to Japans aggression that involved the US in WW2. Without which it is very likely that Roosevelt would not have been able to become involved in the European side of the War.

The only reason most people refuse to admit the 2nd WW started in Asia is because we are mostly of European descent and have always thought of the Asians as second class countries.

No, it is because Japan and China fighting each other did not result in multiple countries declaring war upon one another.

The invasion of Poland did.
