==Summary==
The Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank (九七式中戦車 チハ Kyūnana-shiki chū-sensha Chi-ha) was a medium tank used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union, and the Second World War. It was the most widely produced Japanese medium tank of World War II.
The defeat of Japan at the 1939 Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union inspired Japan to upgrade their tanks to the Type 97 ShinhoTo Chi-Ha (or Type 97 Kai).
