One of the most horrific events in Chinese History, the Nanking Massacre (Nanjing Massacre), began on December 13, 1937. Japanese troops invaded the city. For the next six weeks, using torture, executions, rape, and violence, imperial forces murdered the citizens of Nanking in the hundreds of thousands. Many were buried alive.
