Today is a solemn day for all Chinese.
On September 18 year 20 of the Republic of China 90 years ago, Japanese Imperialists staged the Mukden Incident as an illegitimate justification to invade and attempt to conquer the holy Chinese soil of the Northeast, 14 years later and they would be removed and the Northeast liberated, but for 14 years the Chinese of the Northeast suffered under brutal Imperialist Japanese crimes committed by the occupation.
This is an incomplete list of their crimes:
-
Enslaving Chinese for the war machine against China
-
Exterminating Ethnic Minorities who lived outside the control of the Japanese
-
Committed human experimentation for biological warfare
-
Dragged on conflict in the Northeast for over a decade
-
Abducted women for use as prostitute slaves
Everyone knows that after the (staged) 1931 Mukden Incident, Japan invaded Manchuria -- then under the control of "the Young Marshal" Zhang Xueliang, who was nominally affiliated with the government in Nanjing -- and from there they created the puppet state of Manchukuo.
But... how did they go about the actual process of proclaiming Manchuria as "independent"?
Although a seemingly significant event, there don't seem to be many books on the cause of the Mukden Incident. Does anyone know any?
Iโve been seeing that claim made by CCP shills here and I was wondering how true/false these claims are.
I have been conducting some research around the history of the Mukden Incident as background for a blog post I'm writing about the story of Kongo and Nachi, two messenger dogs who died in the Incident and were celebrated as heroes by the propaganda machine. The Wikipedia entry hints at a controversy over how aware the senior officers of the Kwantung Army and the Army leadership in Tokyo were prior to the event, but I've not succeeded at finding much online.
It's a minor part of my article but I really want to understand quite what the controversy is and where current knowledge stands. Can anyone enlighten me?
Edit: I wanted to add that I am particularly interested in whether Lt. Col. Shigeru Honjo gave his go-ahead to the plot ahead of the bombing of the railway, or whether he really was simply made aware after the fact.
Hi, so I know that the mukden incident/machurian crisis is widely accepted to be staged by the Japanese so they can invade China but I was just wondering what the evidence for it is. Thanks in advance.
