Nanjing (help·info) (Chinese: 南京; Romanizations: Nánjīng (Pinyin), Nan-ching (Wade-Giles), Nanking (Postal map spelling)) is the capital of China's Jiangsu Province, and a city with a prominent place in Chinese history and culture. Nanjing (literally: 'Southern capital') served as the capital of China during several historical periods and is listed as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China (ROC) before the Chinese Civil War. Nanjing is also one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities in the People's Republic of China's administrative structure, enjoying jurisdictional and economic autonomy only slightly less than that of a province.

Located in the lower Yangtze River drainage basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Nanjing has always been one of China's most important cities. Apart from having been the capital of China for six dynasties and of the Republic of China, Nanjing has also served as a national hub of education, research, transportation and tourism throughout history. With an urban population of over five million, it is also the second largest commercial center in the East China region, after Shanghai.

A. the Rape of Nanking refers to a six-week period following the capture of Nanking on December 9, 1937. international military tribunals convened at the end of World War II determined that, during this period, the Imperial Japanese Army committed atrocities such as rape, looting, arson, and the execution of POWs/ civilians rising to the level of war crimes. the incident remains a stumbling block in Sino-Japanese relations. the International Military Tribunal of the Far East estimated 300,000 casualties, while a few historians believe upwards of 340,000.

Why are Americans not familiar with the Rape of Nanking?
Q. Does it compare to the holocaust?
Asked by steve s - Thu Mar 13 20:52:13 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It was horrific, 100,000 people murdered in 30 days. We should know more about it, but I agree, the holocaust was 6 million Jews, plus about 4 million others. However, Japan has not changed its history books and education on their atrocities while Germany has.
