The Second Sino-Japanese War is a conflict fought between the 4th Japanese Empire and the Chinese Union over disputed territory in both the Korean peninsula and the Manchurian border. The war has featured towns and vassal states being planted by both sides in each other's territory, and several large battles near Sendai and Central China. As of February 21st, 2022, the war is still ongoing.

Background

Tensions between Japanese and Chinese nations have existed on EMC ever since the Chinese player-invasion of spring 2019, with the most well-known examples of this being the former battles between Xia and the 3rd Japanese Empire, and the previous expansion of Chinese towns into the Japanese Archipelago and the Korean Peninsula.

Yalu River Incident

On December 5th 2021, the player Techv settled the town of Kimosaki on the northwestern portion of the Korean peninsula on the Yalu River. Later, on December 12th, the town of Dandong was settled on the opposite coast of the river by Comrade_nosepoo2 on behalf of Liao. Disputes over claiming in the area quickly arose, and in order to protect its interests, Kimosaki claimed 2 chunks over the Yalu River. This action had angered Dandong's mayor, as well as his overseer qbsb147, however, in the end, Dandong had ended up going inactive for about a month, and Kimosaki had continued expanding on the Korean peninsula. Then, once again in early January 2022, Dandong had asked Kimosaki to back off from the Yalu River, and as Kimosaki had now had more chunks on the other side, they refused. This led to Dandong attempting several times to claim-block Kimosaki on the west and north, with all attempts being rolled back by moderators, resulting in over 1.2k gold being wasted on claims by Liao. During these claim-blocking attempts, Dandong had crossed over into the Korean peninsula, as well as planted the town of panda_island south of Kimosaki. These actions, along with the previous disputes between Cangzhou and Izu of November of the same year and the founding of the town of PingXingGuan off the coast of Sendai, Japan declared war on the Chinese Union, with both sides stating the violation of each other's claims to be the justification.

Beginning of the War (January-February 2022)

The Second Sino-Japanese War had large scale battles fought almost immediately, with dozens of players showing up on behalf of both sides. PingXingGuan was the site of the first major battles in the war, with Japanese members allies teleporting to Tokyo and walking north, and Chinese members and allies having set their res spawns at the town. Following these battles, an increased effort was given by both China and Japan to expand their claims in Manchuria and the Korean peninsula, which included settlement of new towns and expanding previous established ones. On the 21st and 23rd of January, the Japanese had announced false claims of Chinese nations switching to Japan's side, and the unconditional surrender of the Chinese Union to the Japanese. These false claims caused the Chinese Union to gather more allies, including Antarctica and Joseon. This period ended with the further expansion of Dandong and the establishment of the Japanese colony of Xixia in Central China, which switched over the battle theatre from PingXingGuan. On February 21 2022 The ROC was made, a Filipino-Japanese Nation. It was made in honor of the 1st Year anniversary of the Philippine Republic.
