The Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia (http://www.global-alliance.net/) <http://www.global-alliance.net/>, Los Angeles, started a campaign on the WWW asking everybody to sign a petition urging United Nations member states to reject Japan's bid. The campaign gathered momentum when more and more Chinese media outlets joined it in March 2005. Suddenly, the number of signatures per day rose steeply, hitting even one million. The ensuing signature campaign, the news and discussion boards as well as numerous articles were collected and archived in DACHS. They are presented in form of a historical overview.
