I don’t remember exactly why I picked this article to post. Must have been a slow news day. I guess it shows that the British, at least, saw that war was likely, despite all the alliances being signed by the nations of Europe.

Also starting around this time is what was called the Japanese Spring Offinsives in China.

On May 10th 1938 Japan captured the port city of Xiamen. As spring progressed the Japanese move on to capture Xuzhou on the 20th, Kaifeng, on 6 June, and Ankang on 12 June.
