  Kwantung Leased Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kwantung Leased Territory (Chinese: 關東州, 关东州, Guāndōngzhōu; Japanese: 関東州, Kantōshu) was a territory in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula in northeastern China that existed from 1898 to 1945.
Japan established the Kwantung governor-general to administer the newly leased territory and the Kwantung garrison, reorganized in 1919 under the name of the Kwantung Army, to defend it.
A new lease agreement was contracted between Japan and the government of Manchukuo, and Japan retained the territory apart from the nominally-independent Manchukuo until its final defeat of World War II in 1945.
