	Slowly, China began to react to the Japanese invasion with individuals rallying behind the Communist and Nationalist groups that had once been vying for power. In political rallies, at schools, even in the fields, ordinary Chinese were coming together not only to stem the tide of Japanese attacks but also to address the economic and social needs that have bedevilled China. "... people still needed to learn how to conquer poverty, promote the well being of people and labour for the common good."		Slowly, China began to react to the Japanese invasion with individuals rallying behind the Communist and Nationalist groups that had once been vying for power.

"... people still needed to learn how to conquer poverty, promote the well being of people and labour for the common good."

	After failing to stop the Japanese in [[Battle of Wuhan\|Wuhan]], the Chinese central government was relocated to [[Chongqing]] in the Chinese interior. By 1939, Chinese victories in [[Battle of Changsha (1939)\|Changsha]] and [[Battle of South Guangxi\|Guangxi]] continued to put pressure on the beleaguered Chinese military. The Japanese [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] in 1941, however, brought the United States into the [[total war\|global conflict]] on the side of the [[British Empire]].

	With [[Allies of World War II\|Western allies]] finally reacting to the Japanese threat in the [[Pacific War\|Far East]], war matériel was shipped to China. Other nations, including Canada, trained Chinese soldiers and airmen. Facing a new Chinese resolve, despite the Japanese victories and incursions deep into the interior territories, the stretched lines of the occupying forces resulted in the [[Second Sino-Japanese War\|war in China]] deteriorating into an [[stalemate\|impasse]].
