Pearl Harbor Warning Signs-- Part 1: Japan Attacks China

These are continued from my Cooter's History Thing blog.  Every one of my seven blogs today will be about Pearl Harbor.

1937:

July 7:  Japan invades China, launching the attack across Manchuria.

December 13:  The Rape of Nanking--  mass killings and other atrocities by Japanese soldiers -- begins in China.

1938

June 11:  U.S. condemns Japan's bombing of China.  Later, a U.S. "moral embargo" opposes sale of aircraft to nations attacking civilians.
