Complete answer:
The second Sino- Japanese war occurred between 1937-1945. It had a significant impact on the Chinese revolution. This war in China is known as the "War of Chinese people's resistance against Japanese aggression. It causes approximately 20 million casualties of Chinese people. Japan invaded China in the early 1930s and the second Sino-Japanese war developed a rift between these two nations. Japan was way more powerful than time In comparison with China and it was on the path of political and economical development. The Japanese government was ruled and dominated by militarists and expansionists who were determined to make Japan an Asian imperial power. In 1911, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty weakened China and made a way for Japan to further extend its influence in China. In 1937 the full-fledged war started when Japanese troops opened fire on local soldiers a brief ceasefire was negotiated but both sides increased military no in the region.
  The nationalist armies tried to cope up with the invasion but very soon were overcome by the Japanese army as they were equipped with technological supremacy and preparedness. At that time the Chinese army was weaker than the Japanese army. The first phase of the war was a Blitzkrieg of Japanese victories as their forces moved swiftly along China's east coast. Japanese troops in China did a brutal treatment with the civilians of China. Estimates suggest that approx. 3 lakh people were massacred by the Japanese.

Note: China won as part of the Allied victory in Pacific war. After the second Sino-Japanese war China became the permanent member of the UN Security Council.
