In 1937, the Japanese army invaded and occupied Nanjing, which was then the capital of China. A puppet government led by Wang Jingwei was established in Nanjing, and after World War II, the KMT relocated its central government to Nanjing. On April 23, 1949, The People's Liberation Army conquered Nanjing, officially ending the Republic of China's rule in the mainland. It is recognized that a systematic, brutal massacre was carried out by the conquerors in the city, with the estimated death of 300,000. Today, Nanjing remains the provincial capital of Jiangsu.
