Today's Fact

On December 13, 1937, as the Sino-Japanese War progressed, Japan overtooks the capital of China. General Matsui Iwane ordered the city destroyed. His troops butchered about 150,000 Chinese men and raped 20,000 women and girls, most of whom were killed afterward. Iwane was later hanged for war crimes. (Not the cheeriest of facts but maybe a necessary reminder of humanity.)
