Sino-Japanese Wars

Sino meaning "China".

There were actually two wars: The First Sino-Japanese War was from 1894 to 1895. The Second Sino-Japanese War overlapped World war II from 1931 to 1945.

The First Sino-Japanese war was between Qing Dynasty China and Meiji Japan over the control of Korea. Because of the newly modernized Japan after the end of the three hundred year Tokugawa (Edo) Period, and the deterioation of the Qing Dynasty and its government, China lost to Japan and recognized the independence of Korea, and the last dynasty of China ended in 1912.

From there, China and Korea were under Japanese control, and so would begin many years of oppression and forced cultural assimilation from the Japanese.

The Second Sino-Japanese War began much later, between the Rupublic of China and the Empire of Japan, and was commonly known in China as "The War of Resistance Against Japan", because by this time, the Chinese were fed up with the Japanese in their country and wanted to rid China of foreign rule because of a rise in nationalism and self determination. The Second Sino-Japanese War was the largest asiatic war of the twentieth century.

Foreign aide, much from the United States, came to help China after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

Many plans were suppose to be put to action to secure regions of resistance in China, but after the droppings of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan finally surrender.

The Chinese victory of the Second Sino-Japanese War strengthen communist and socialist views, and the People's Republic of China was formed soon after. However, because of years of oppression that were brought upon China and Korea by Japanese imperialist policy, and several war crimes committed by the Japanese Imperial Army (including mass killings, experimentation, starvation, rape and sexual slavery (see comfort women), forced labor, cannibalism, chemical weapons, looting, and torture) many Chinese and Koreans (as well as denizens of countries that were occupied by Japan such as Indonesia, the Phillipines, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Dutch East Indies, etc.) harbor bitter resentments toward the Japanese to this day, and no amount of compensation or apologies will ever cleanse the wounds entirely...
The Sino-Japanese Wars brought about some of the most drastic changes to Far East Asia. Following the wars, many countries became communist, some split, some united, some rose from poverty to become some of the most powerful nations in the world, while others are still developing, and whole lot of them still hate the Japanese
with a passion. What makes a lot of people - many of whom have experienced the horrors of the wars - angry is the fact that many Japanese textbooks refuse to mention any of this important and incriminating history.

Now what do you think about that, you Wapanese morons?

Sinnohfetus

Sinnohfetuses are people who grew up with the 4th generation of pokemon for the DS. The 4th gen Pokemon games were Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. They will claim that nothing will top the creativity of the 4th gen games because of how amazing it is and that they wish that they want a Sinnoh remake from Nintendo. There's also a spin-off game for gen 4 which is Pokemon Battle Revolution which is an outstanding game to play on the Wii.
Person 1: Man, I've waited for 12 whole years and still no Sinnoh remake!? I want a Sinnoh Remake!!! I want a goddamn Sinnoh Remake!!!!!

Person 2: Dude, you're being such a Sinnohfetus, just calm down and there will soon be a Sinnoh Remake later in the future. If a Sinnoh Remake is gonna be possibly released later in the future, we can all stop our complaining, alright?
