摘要

Anshan, a heavy industrial city in central Liaoning province, is rich in iron ore. The natural wealth that not only established Anshan's unique position in the development of heavy industry in China, but also brought misfortune to this small city. After the Russo- Japanese War, the three provinces in northeastern China gradually became Japanese colonies and energy grabbing grounds, so Anshan, as one of the cities with the richest mineral resources in this area, naturally could not escape the ravages of the invaders. During World War II, Japanese penetrated their invasion and exploitation into various fields including economy, culture, and social life, and attempted to control Anshan, a heavy industrial base, in an all-round way in order to provide a continuous supply of materials for Japanese army during the war. This paper mainly explores the destruction that the Japanese colonization and exploitation left to Anshan during the Second World War.
