The Nanjing Massacre[c] or the Rape of Nanjing (formerly romanized as Nanking[d]) was the mass rape and murder of Chinese civilians, noncombatants, and prisoners of war by the Imperial Japanese Army in Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China.
The Nanjing Massacre, commonly known as " The Rape of Nanking," was an infamous war crime committed by the Japanese military in and around the then capital of China, Nanjing, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on (at the time, Nanjing was known in English as Nanking).
The six weeks of carnage would become known as the Rape of Nanking and represented the single worst atrocity during the World War II era in either the European or Pacific theaters of war.
