Among the many horrors inflicted on humanity by the Second World War was the massive bombing of civilians, often referred to as “terror bombing”. The purpose of doing this was to destroy the morale of ordinary people and stop them from supporting the war effort.
The Japanese used terror bombing in China, especially in Chongqing, which they bombed more than 200 times over the duration of five and a half years (1938-1943), killing thousands of Chinese civilians.
The Bombing of Chongqing
In an attempt to break the resolve of the Chinese people, the Japanese mounted sustained and callous bombing campaigns against Chongqing, the wartime capital of the Republic of China, from February 18, 1938 to August 23, 1943. During these five and a half years, Japan launched a total of 218 extensive, and sometimes continuous, indiscriminate carpet bombing raids, with more than 9,000 sorties. The bombings killed 11,889 people, wounded 14,100, and destroyed more than 30,000 buildings. Much of the downtown area suffered immense damage.
