A New History of World War II, published to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, upholds a correct historical perspective on WWII and builds a narrative framework with Chinese characteristics and contemporary relevance. The book examines the historical process from the collapse of the Versailles-Washington system and the outbreak of WWII, through to the surrender of the fascists and the reshaping of the international order. It analyses the roles of the major theatres, including the main Eastern battlefield, European theatre, Pacific theatre, Atlantic theatre, North Africa-Mediterranean theatre and the coordination between them, presenting a panoramic view of the vast and tumultuous World Anti-Fascist War. It underscores that the decisive factor in defeating the Axis powers was the international Anti-Fascist United Front, forged by peace-loving forces worldwide: People across Europe and Asia actively engaged in resistance movements, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania provided vital support, and the Allied powers collaborated strategically and supported each other, writing an epic of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. Special emphasis is laid on the position and contribution of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression within the World Anti-Fascist War and the Communist Party of Chinas vital role as the mainstay of the War of Resistance by the whole nation. The work also reflects the Chinese peoples commitment to peace, their resolve to pursue peaceful development, and their vision for building a community with a shared future for humanity.
