  Manchukuo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manchukuo (1932 to 1945) (Simplified Chinese: 满洲国; Traditional Chinese: 滿洲國; pinyin: Mǎnzhōu Guó Kanji (Shinjitai): 満州国), literally meaning "Manchuria nation", is a former country [1] in Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia under the leadership of the Emperor Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Inner Manchuria came under strong Russian influence in the 1890s with the building of the Chinese Eastern Railway through Harbin to Vladivostok.
Japanese influence replaced Russian in Inner Manchuria as a result of the Russo-Japanese War (1904 - 1905), and Japan laid the South Manchurian Railway in 1906 to Port Arthur (Japanese: Ryojun).

 The Militant - September 10, 2001 -- Japan's crisis has deep historical roots
Despite its invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and occupation of Formosa (now called Taiwan) and Korea, given its economic backwardness and overwhelmingly peasant population, the country could never supply an army in a war against an imperialist power for even a handful of years.
But many of the particular economic and social problems in Japan today--from the status of women and immigrant workers to the crisis in agriculture and the banking system--have their roots in the lack of a thoroughgoing bourgeois revolution to sweep away all remnants of the feudal past.
In the Tempo crisis of the 1830s, some 100,000 peasants rose up and won their demands, deepening the crisis of the feudal state.
