The strategic bombing theory is a military theory founded in the beginning of twenty centuries , which has the profound influence and deeply changed the war. The theory, worshiped by commanding officers of many countries'air forces, has deeply affected the developments of those troops. The Italian military theoretician Giulio Douhet, the founder of the strategic bombing theory, set up the theory firstly with preeminent forecast and innovation. Hugh M. Trenchard, the founder of British Royal air force, and William Michael, the American aviation theoretician, later enriched and developed the theory through practices during the development of the strategic bombing theory. Just by the both of mans , the theory could become to the actuality from the concept. The strategic bombing theory was validatedly practiced in the World War Two. The Allies and their Opponents both strategicly bombed each other, just between Germany to U.K., Japan to China, the allies of US and U.K. to Germany, US to Japan. These indiscriminate bombings have brought many catastrophes and distresses to innocent civilians. The strategic bombings hugely cost, for instance the big casualty of civilians. Because some factors of enemy states were underestimated as the resisting wills of people and the energy of government and economics, the intents of bombing couldn't been realized effectively.During the World War Two, Japanese air force indistinguishably bombed much on the Chinese battlefield. Japanese bombers made a great deal of casualty of innocent civilians in WuHan, Guangzhou, LanZhou, ChongQing and so on, especially in ChongQing. The Mass Bombing in ChongQing lasted half and five years. Although the power of Chinese air force had great disparity to Japanese troop, Japanese bombers directly attacked those inmilitary aims intently and premeditatedly without indiscriminateness between battlefront and backside , warriors and civilians. The dissertation dissertated the cause, process, loss of persons and substances in the Mass Bombing in ChongQing. After reviewing the history and loss of the Mass Bombing in ChongQing, the article dissertated the casualties'claims for compensation of the bombing nowadays with the actual position of compensation. The article analyzed the casualties'claims for compensation of the bombing from the point of view in international law. Moreover, the dissertation made some suggestions in allusion to some matters of the counterclaim.Because of proceeding from the consideration of the national military, the huge casualty of civilians strategicly bombed in the war haven't been valued enough. There were still some strategic bombings without any discrimination in the Vietnam War and Iraqi War. So it was very necessa ry that recovering the huge casualty of innocent civilians in the strategic bombings indiscriminately by dissertating the development and practice of the strategic bombing theory, especially by reviewing the Mass Bombing in ChongQing during the World War Two. In the oppositely peaceful today, the victims of indiscriminate bombing have claimed for compensation by the way of litigation. People should examine the past World War Two again, do our effort to limit the war, and maintenance the consistent peace and stability of the whole world.
