Asia Pacific 80 years ago today: Franco-Thai War (13 April 1941) https://buff.ly/2wF7iUo Thailand saw the French capitulation to Japan as weakness, seizing the opportunity to regain lost territories by invading French Indochina. The Japanese quickly put a stop to this war, but supported Thai claims at the ensuing peace treaty. With its focus now on the south, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. #1941 #april #april13 #asiapacific #frenchindochina #indochine #vichyfrance #frenchempire #historias #histories #historybuff #historygram #historylovers #historymaker #historyschool #instahistory #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #maps #worldwar2 #wwii #ww2 #worldwarii #thailand #secondworldwar #britishempire #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Bangkok, Thailand)

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall)
