In December 1937, Matsui Iwane, commanding general of the Japanese Army, ordered the destruction of Nanking, the capital of the Nationalist China. Japanese soldiers seized Nanking on December 13, and followed Matsui's orders to execute thousands of people. It is estimated that at least 100,000 Chinese died in December and January.
