What Was the Significance of the Mukden Incident?

#mukdenincident #chinesehistory #manchuria The Mukden Incident was a false flag event staged by the Japanese military as a pretext for the 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. On September the 18th 1931, Lieutenant Suemori Kawamoto of the Independent Garrison Unit of the 29th Japanese Infantry Regiment detonated a small quantity of dynamite close to a railway line owned by Japan’s South Manchuria Railway near Mukden (now Shenyang). The explosion was so weak that it failed to destroy the railway track, with a train passing over the point of the explosion a few minutes later. Despite this, the Japanese Imperial Army accused Chinese dissidents of the act of sabotage and responded with a full invasion that led to the occupation of Manchuria, in which Japan established its puppet state of Manchukuo five months later. The deception was exposed by the Lytton Report of 1932, leading to Japan’s diplomatic isolation and its withdrawal from the League of Nations in March 1933. In English the Mukden Incident is also known as the Manchurian Incident and usually refers only to the sequence of events including the invasion rather than just the initial attack on the railway line in September 1931. In China, it is known as the Liutiao Lake incident, while the September 18 incident refers to the entire sequence of events.
