Nanking Massacre In a matter of 6 weeks, two hundred to three hundred thousand people in Nanjing, China were killed. This would later be known as the Nanking Massacre. Before Japan’s Central China Army entered Nanking on December 13, 1937, leader of China, Kai-Shek removed all official Chinese troops from the capital. He left the untrained auxiliary troops to defend the city at all costs, but sadly a significant amount of soldiers fled before the Japanese entered the city. When the Japanese arrived, western businessmen, missionaries and the International Committee tried to create a safe zone for the chinese people, but in a few weeks it was ran over and more innocent people were killed. By the time the Japanese were done looting, burning and destroying Nanking, only two thirds of the city were left. The Nanking massacre left hundreds of thousands of people dead, but the country was able to recover and prosper.
