People visit the "Great Victory and Historical Contribution" exhibition at the Museum of the War of People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijing, China, 5 July 2015. China opened an exhibition of guns and photos of massacres on Tuesday (7 July 2015) to commemorate the World War II victory over Japan, part of a propaganda push to stir up nationalism by observing the 70th anniversary of the war's end in Asia with great fanfare. Soldiers and children stood in silence outside the museum in suburban Beijing at the opening ceremony for the "Great Victory and Historical Contribution" exhibition on the 78th anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. A clash at the Marco Polo Bridge in 1937 is regarded as the first battle of the second Sino-Japanese war, which lasted until Japan's defeat by the Allies in 1945.
