Second Sino-Japanese War
The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) or War of Resistance (Chinese term) was a military conflict that was primarily waged between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. The war made up the Chinese theater of the wider Pacific Theater of the Second World War. The beginning of the war is conventionally dated to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937, when a dispute between Japanese and Chinese troops in Peking escalated into a full-scale invasion.

This full-scale war between the Chinese and the Empire of Japan is often regarded as the beginning of World War II in Asia.

Valle De Traslasierra
Traslasierra Valley ( spanish: ''Valle de Traslasierra'') is a natural geographic region of the province of Córdoba, Argentina, located west of the Sierras Grandes and east of the Sierras Occidentales. The tourist capital is the city of Mina Clavero and the most important commercial center is the city of Villa Dolores.
