The first country in World War II to declare war on China was not Japan, and you can't believe it

As we all know, World War II, as a catastrophe for all mankind, has been involved in more than 60 countries, and the casualties of the military and civilians are as high as 90 million, and the country that launched this war is the German, Italian, and Japanese fascist countries. Our country, on the other hand, was confronted with The Japanese aggressors, and Japan had captured our three eastern provinces in a very short period of time. The all-out War of Resistance took place on July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army was practicing around Peiping, and under the pretext of missing a Japanese soldier, asked to go into the city to search, but was directly rejected. The Japanese army launched the July 7 Incident, which caused great repercussions in our country, and the whole nation began to rise up to resist the war.

In fact, from the perspective of a world war, Japan did not "formally" declare war on our country. As it is stated in the Hague Convention that two countries rotate, the contracting states impose certain sanctions on the two belligerents. At that time, Japan was invading, and domestic resources were poor, so it had to import corresponding resources from Europe, the United States and other countries. Without declaring war, it was possible to import strategic resources in a just-name manner, which was only a symptom, and after the September 18 Incident, the three eastern provinces were captured and the puppet Manchurian regime was established. Therefore, if the Japanese side only recognizes the puppet regime it supports, there is certainly no need to declare war.

In fact, the country that first declared war on our country in World War II is unbelievable, it is San Marino, a small country in Europe, its land area is only 60 square kilometers, the population is only 30,000 people, and its land is surrounded by Italy, if you look at it from the map, you can't see it without a magnifying glass. And it is such a country without a sense of existence that it is indeed the first and only country in World War II to declare war on our country. They declared war on our country only because in 1944, the Allies received intelligence that San Marino had infiltrated a main German force, so the Allies formed an air force to bomb their country indiscriminately, resulting in 350,000 deaths and hundreds of wounded.

In response, the San Marino government was very angry and directly declared war on all the Allies on the same day. After that, San Marino felt that war should be declared on the countries involved in the war all over the world, so he directly issued a declaration of war to the fascist countries and the Allied countries, and my country received its declaration of war. Although it did declare war, which one has the strength to really send troops?

In September 1944, the British also fought the Germans on San Marino itself, the Germans were defeated, and the British occupied San Marino for two months. After the war, San Marino also asked the British side for 730 million lire war reparations, but the British did not pay any attention to this, and eventually failed, but it has to be said that San Marino is a courageous country. What do you think about this?
