Manchukuo was a puppet state of the Japanese Empire. The Japanese seized the area in 1931 on
the fabricated pretext of Chinese aggression known as the Mukden Incident. In truth, the Japanese
desired the region (known as Manchuria) for its extensive wealth of minerals. The Japanese
attempted to bring large numbers of settlers into the area to colonize and farm. During the Japanese
occupation Manchukuo’s industrial base expanded rapidly. Cities, factories and railways were
modernized. Between 1938 and 1942 about 200,000 Japanese farmers immigrated to Manchukuo.
The Soviets reportedly captured and repatriated 850,000 Japanese settlers after their invasion of
Manchukuo in 1945. The Japanese used Manchuria to prepare for war, creating industry and
infrastructure to support their planned conquest of Asia.
