December 9th Movement (English spelling)

Japanese: 一二･九運動 - いちにきゅううんどう（英語表記）Yī èr jiǔ yùn dòng

On December 9th, 1935, a demonstration against Japanese aggression took place in China, mainly among students in Beiping (Beijing). The Japanese military had been carrying out acts of aggression and self-governance in North China since 1933, but the Nationalist government repeatedly compromised and suppressed the anti-Japanese movement among the people. The December 9th movement was aimed at protesting against this Nationalist government and spreading anti-Japanese propaganda, and the government's suppression led to the movement developing into a nationwide anti-Japanese movement.

中国で1935年12月9日，日本の侵略に対して，北平(北京)の学生を中心として行われた示威運動。日本軍は1933年以来華北で侵略行動と自治工作をすすめたが，国民政府はそれに対して妥協をかさね，民衆の抗日運動を弾圧した。12月9日の運動はこうした国民政府への抗議と抗日宣伝を目的としたもので，当局の弾圧を契機として運動は全国的な抗日運動へと発展していった。【川井悟】
