Mein Lieber Kamerad

Hey, guys! 84 years ago, on August 13, 1937, during the Second Sino - Japanese War, Japanese troops captured Beijing. It is curious that exactly 37 years before, but on August 14, coalition troops, including the Japanese, also captured Beijing during the suppression of the Ihetuan uprising.
Some historians criticize the Eurocentric or "Western" reading of history. They believe that the beginning of the Second World War should be counted from this Sino - Japanese conflict, and not from the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the USSR in September 1939. What do you think about this?
