Seventy-five years ago, in the wake of that victory, countries of the world established an international order and a corresponding system with the United Nations at its core, underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. It not only saved itself and its people from subjugation, but also gave strong support to other nations against aggression in the European and Pacific theatres, thus making a historic contribution to the Allied victory. As the main theatre in the East, China made a national sacrifice of over 35 million casualties in its fighting against a larger force. Fascist forces brought untold suffering to the world and an unparalleled catastrophe to human civilisation. Around 2 billion people from more than 80 countries and regions were involved, and over 100 million military and civilian casualties were inflicted. Its flames spread across Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. The Second World War was a conflict of unprecedented scale in human history. In China, September 3 has been designated as "Victory Day". On September 2 1945, representatives from Japan signed an instrument of unconditional surrender, marking China's victory and a key date in the efforts throughout the Second World War against fascism.
