Nanking Massacre

The Nanking Massacre also known as “Nanjing Massacre” is the greatest Injustice taken place. It was during the late 1930s, when thousands of people were forcefully murdered in the Chinese city. A toll of over a hundred thousand civilians were murdered in the six week process. The city was left in ruins and disbelief of this mass murder and rape due to Japan's fear of losing the war with China. The city was never the same after the invasion.

Despite the disbelief of the case, non- participants would say this case to be unsolved. The memory of this Massacre will be one of the stumbling blocks between the relationship of Japan and
