Japanese invasion of Manchuria
The Japanese invasion of Manchuria began on September 18, 1931, when the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan invaded Manchuria immediately following the Mukden Incident. The Japanese established a puppet state called Manchukuo, and their occupation lasted until the end of World War II.
Initial annexation
The Chinese-Japanese dispute in July 1931 (the Wanpaoshan Incident) was followed by the Mukden Incident, on September 18, 1931. The same day as the Mukden Incident, the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, which had decided upon a policy of localizing the incident, communicated its decision to the Kwantung Army command. However, Kwantung Army commander-in-chief General Shigeru Honjō instead ordered his forces to proceed to expand operations all along the South Manchurian Railway. Under orders from Lieutenant General Jirō Tamon, troops of the 2nd Division moved up the rail line and captured virtually every city along its 730-mile length in a matter of days, occupying Anshan, Haicheng, Kaiyuan, Tiehling, Fushun, Szeping-chieh, Changchun, Kuanchengtzu, Yingkou, Antung, and Penhsihu.

Battle of Jiuliancheng
The Battle of Jiuliancheng (九連城之戰) was a land battle of the First Sino-Japanese War between the forces of Meiji Japan and Qing China. It is sometimes referred to as the Battle of the Yalu River (鴨緑江作戦 (Ōryōkuko Saksuken)), thus creating confusion with the previous naval conflict of the same name of 17 September, and the subsequent naval and ground battles of the Russo-Japanese War, with the same name and occurring at much the same location.
Background
After their defeat at the Battle of Pyongyang, the Beiyang Army made its next stand at the crossing of the Yalu River, the border between Korea and China. On the Chinese side, Qing general Song Qing established his headquarters at the walled town of Jiuliancheng (九連城), and fortified the banks of the Yalu River south to the local district capital of Dandong and north to the village of Hushanqian (虎山) for about 16 kilometers in either direction with over a hundred redoubts and trenches manned by around 23,000 troops.
On the Korean side of the Yalu River, Japanese general Yamagata Aritomo occupied the walled town of Uiju on 23 October 1894 with approximately 10,000 troops of the Japanese First Army, consisting of the 3rd and 5th Divisions. Although Yamagata and the main Japanese force did not arrive until 23 October, Japanese scouts and engineers had been present since early that month, surveying the river and laying a telegraph line to Pyongyang.

Japanese territorial ambitions in China, had been a national directive dating back many centuries, but it wasn't until the late 19th century, that Japan managed to finally get a major foothold on the continent. The 1895 Sino-Japanese war, was a humiliating defeat for Qing China, as the no longer isolated, and now modernized Japanese forces, defeated the larger Qing armies, and managed to acquire a number of territories off of them. Including the island of Taiwan, and it shifted Korea into the Japanese sphere of influence. In 1904, The Russo-Japanese war broke out, which resulted in Japan making even more territorial gains and humiliating the Russians in the process. Korea was vassalized in 1905, and annexed as an imperial territory in 1910. Accomplishing a centuries long goal of the Japanese nation. Following WW1, islands in the Pacific that the Germans held, were granted to the nation as well, however, disagreement during the actual treaty process, and many of the arms/naval treaties years after. Put a strain on relations between the West and Japan. Japan had also attempted to assert heavy influence in the Russian far-east during the nations civil war/revolution, sending over 70,000 troops into the area surrounding Vladivostok, over five times what the Western allies had put forth in the region. This attempt was to get a puppet government, headed by White Russian forces, to serve Japanese interests and allow the island nation to use the resource rich region for their own gain. However, the White Russian movement fell apart in the early 20's, and political differences back at home as well as pressure from the western powers, prevent Japan from annexing the territory for itself. This alone, destroyed the unity that the government had during WW1, and the military government and civilian government would be locked in bitter competition for years after.
By 1930, the civilian government had largely lost its control over the military, who now acted with heavy degrees of autonomy. This loss of control had been on-going ever since the 1880's, with the creation of the army and naval commanding staffs. These staffs were equal in power to the minister of war and answered directly to the emperor, rather then having to go through the civilian government. The Army and Navy also had decisive say on the formation of any civilian government. Since the law required that the posts of Army Minister and Navy Minister be filled by active duty officers, and since the law also required that a prime minister resign if he could not fill all of his cabinet posts, both the Army and Navy had final say on the formation of a cabinet, and could bring down the cabinet at any time by withdrawing their minister and refusing to nominate a successor. While this only happened once, the threat always loomed high when the military made any demands on the civilian leadership.
Even with the military in essential control of the government in Japan. The Kwantung Army in Korea, largely ignored, or acted in direct deviance of the headquarters in Japan. Many of its senior leaders advocated political change in Japan through the overthrow of the democratically elected civil government, denouncing it as a “liberal evil” and wanted to heavily strengthen the power of the Japanese emperor in its place. They also advocated a more aggressive, expansionist foreign policy regarding the Asian mainland, eyeing the whole of China as ripe for the taking.

JAPANESE INVASION OF MANCHURIA AND NORTHERN CHINA
The Empire of Japan's Kwantung Army invaded Manchuria on 18 September 1931, immediately following the Mukden Incident. Consequently, in February 1932, the Japanese established the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Then in 1933, Japanese authorities took advantage of an ongoing Mongolian separatist movement in Chahar Province and co-opted Mongolian nationalists with promises of military and financial support for secession. In June 1935, China agreed to cede control of much of Chahar to the Mongolian nationalists, whose forces then seized control of the rest of the province. With the subsequent capture of Suiyuan in 1937, in September 1939, the Mongolians formed the “Mengjiang United Autonomous Government”, whose jurisdiction covered Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shanxi – territories that were still legally under Chinese sovereignty, but wholly under Japanese military and economic control.
Japanese Invasion of Manchuria and Northern China - Timeline
1850s - Japan emerges from two centuries of near total isolation and begins aggressive industrialization and modernization
1870s - Japan uses gunboat diplomacy on Korea to force a commercial treaty
1894 – 1895 – In the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan decisively defeats China in Korea, the Liaodong Peninsula, and Taiwan
1904 – 1905 – In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan defeats Russia and gains control of Korea and Manchuria; Japan subsequently annexes Korea; although Manchuria is occupied by Japanese forces, it legally remains a part of China
1920s – Japanese Kwantung Army officers draw up a plan to invade Manchuria and annex it outright, which is approved in principle by the Japanese government, but contingent only if China provokes a war that would justify such an invasion
1928 - The invasion plan takes on more urgency because of China’s successful reunification and because the new Nationalist Chinese government under Chiang Kai-shek has begun to re-establish civilian authority in Manchuria
September 18, 1931 – The Mukden Incident becomes the pretext for Japan to accuse the Chinese of armed provocation and justify Japanese military retaliation for a full conquest of Manchuria; war breaks out and within a few days, the Kwantung Army seizes much of Liaoning and Jilin provinces; Japanese authorities co-opt many Chinese military commanders, warlords, and officials, who organize local and provincial administrations
January 1932 - Japanese forces have seized all of southern Manchuria, with Chinese forces offering no resistance and withdrawing south
November 1931 - In Heilongjiang Province in northern Manchuria, Japanese forces come to the assistance of collaborationist Chinese Army units to capture the capital Tsitsihar; in February 1932, Harbin, the last Kuomintang stronghold in Manchuria, also fall; by then, Japanese forces control all of Manchuria
February 1932 - Japan establishes Manchukuo in Manchuria, purportedly an independent nation, but in reality, is a puppet state of Japan that receives little foreign recognition and is rejected by the League of Nations; as a result, in March 1933, Japan withdraws its membership from the League of Nations
January 1933 - To secure Manchukuo, Japanese forces invade and occupy Jehol Province, pushing the Chinese Army south of the Great Wall into Hebei Province; subsequently, Chinese forces also withdraw from Hebei Province, which then also comes under Japanese control
1933 - Japanese authorities take advantage of an ongoing Mongolian separatist movement in Chahar Province and co-opt Mongolian nationalists with promises of military and financial support for secession
June 1935 – With Japanese authorities using aggressive diplomatic tactics, China is forced to cede control of much of Chahar to the Mongolian nationalists, whose forces then seize control of the rest of the province
1937 – Mongolian forces, with covert Japanese support, also capture Suiyuan Province
September 1939 - The Mongolians form “Mengjiang United Autonomous Government” with jurisdiction over Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shanxi – territories that are still legally under Chinese sovereignty, but wholly under Japanese military and economic control

1928 - The invasion plan takes on more urgency because of China’s successful reunification and because the new Nationalist Chinese government under Chiang Kai-shek has begun to re-establish civilian authority in Manchuria
September 18, 1931 – The Mukden Incident becomes the pretext for Japan to accuse the Chinese of armed provocation and justify Japanese military retaliation for a full conquest of Manchuria; war breaks out and within a few days, the Kwantung Army seizes much of Liaoning and Jilin provinces; Japanese authorities co-opt many Chinese military commanders, warlords, and officials, who organize local and provincial administrations
January 1932 - Japanese forces have seized all of southern Manchuria, with Chinese forces offering no resistance and withdrawing south
November 1931 - In Heilongjiang Province in northern Manchuria, Japanese forces come to the assistance of collaborationist Chinese Army units to capture the capital Tsitsihar; in February 1932, Harbin, the last Kuomintang stronghold in Manchuria, also fall; by then, Japanese forces control all of Manchuria
February 1932 - Japan establishes Manchukuo in Manchuria, purportedly an independent nation, but in reality, is a puppet state of Japan that receives little foreign recognition and is rejected by the League of Nations; as a result, in March 1933, Japan withdraws its membership from the League of Nations
January 1933 - To secure Manchukuo, Japanese forces invade and occupy Jehol Province, pushing the Chinese Army south of the Great Wall into Hebei Province; subsequently, Chinese forces also withdraw from Hebei Province, which then also comes under Japanese control
1933 - Japanese authorities take advantage of an ongoing Mongolian separatist movement in Chahar Province and co-opt Mongolian nationalists with promises of military and financial support for secession
June 1935 – With Japanese authorities using aggressive diplomatic tactics, China is forced to cede control of much of Chahar to the Mongolian nationalists, whose forces then seize control of the rest of the province
1937 – Mongolian forces, with covert Japanese support, also capture Suiyuan Province
September 1939 - The Mongolians form “Mengjiang United Autonomous Government” with jurisdiction over Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shanxi – territories that are still legally under Chinese sovereignty, but wholly under Japanese military and economic control

Battlefield - Manchuria: The Forgotten Victory - Part 1
For many years the 'Battlefield' series has led the way in World War II documentary programming, establishing itself as a firm favourite with generations of viewers from around the world.
The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, formally known as the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation or simply the Manchurian Operation, began on 9 August 1945 with the Soviet invasion of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. It was the last campaign of the Second World War, and the largest of the 1945 Soviet–Japanese War, which resumed hostilities between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Empire of Japan after almost six years of peace. Soviet gains on the continent were Manchukuo, Mengjiang (Inner Mongolia) and northern Korea. The Soviet entry into the war and the defeat of the Kwantung Army was a significant factor in the Japanese government's decision to surrender unconditionally, as it made apparent the Soviet Union had no intention of acting as a third party in negotiating an end to hostilities on conditional terms.
Since 1983, the operation has sometimes been called Operation August Storm after U.S. Army historian David Glantz used this title for a paper on the subject.

The Japanese invasion of Manchuria, was one of the pre-cursors to the start of WW2. Japan had modernized, and sought to expand its territorial might by any means necessary. For this, they aimed to their main rival in the area, China, and used their strength to tear the nation apart once again.

Japanese territorial ambitions in China, had been a national directive dating back many centuries, but it wasn't until the late 19th century, that Japan managed to finally get a major foothold on the continent. The 1895 Sino-Japanese war, was a humiliating defeat for Qing China, as the no longer isolated, and now modernized Japanese forces, defeated the larger Qing armies, and managed to acquire a number of territories off of them. Including the island of Taiwan, and it shifted Korea into the Japanese sphere of influence. In 1904, The Russo-Japanese war broke out, which resulted in Japan making even more territorial gains and humiliating the Russians in the process. Korea was vassalized in 1905, and annexed as an imperial territory in 1910. Accomplishing a centuries long goal of the Japanese nation. Following WW1, islands in the Pacific that the Germans held, were granted to the nation as well, however, disagreement during the actual treaty process, and many of the arms/naval treaties years after. Put a strain on relations between the West and Japan. Japan had also attempted to assert heavy influence in the Russian far-east during the nations civil war/revolution, sending over 70,000 troops into the area surrounding Vladivostok, over five times what the Western allies had put forth in the region. This attempt was to get a puppet government, headed by White Russian forces, to serve Japanese interests and allow the island nation to use the resource rich region for their own gain. However, the White Russian movement fell apart in the early 20's, and political differences back at home as well as pressure from the western powers, prevent Japan from annexing the territory for itself. This alone, destroyed the unity that the government had during WW1, and the military government and civilian government would be locked in bitter competition for years after.
By 1930, the civilian government had largely lost its control over the military, who now acted with heavy degrees of autonomy. This loss of control had been on-going ever since the 1880's, with the creation of the army and naval commanding staffs. These staffs were equal in power to the minister of war and answered directly to the emperor, rather then having to go through the civilian government. The Army and Navy also had decisive say on the formation of any civilian government. Since the law required that the posts of Army Minister and Navy Minister be filled by active duty officers, and since the law also required that a prime minister resign if he could not fill all of his cabinet posts, both the Army and Navy had final say on the formation of a cabinet, and could bring down the cabinet at any time by withdrawing their minister and refusing to nominate a successor. While this only happened once, the threat always loomed high when the military made any demands on the civilian leadership.
Even with the military in essential control of the government in Japan. The Kwantung Army in Korea, largely ignored, or acted in direct deviance of the headquarters in Japan. Many of its senior leaders advocated political change in Japan through the overthrow of the democratically elected civil government, denouncing it as a “liberal evil” and wanted to heavily strengthen the power of the Japanese emperor in its place. They also advocated a more aggressive, expansionist foreign policy regarding the Asian mainland, eyeing the whole of China as ripe for the taking.

JAPANESE INVASION OF MANCHURIA AND NORTHERN CHINA
The Empire of Japan's Kwantung Army invaded Manchuria on 18 September 1931, immediately following the Mukden Incident. Consequently, in February 1932, the Japanese established the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Then in 1933, Japanese authorities took advantage of an ongoing Mongolian separatist movement in Chahar Province and co-opted Mongolian nationalists with promises of military and financial support for secession. In June 1935, China agreed to cede control of much of Chahar to the Mongolian nationalists, whose forces then seized control of the rest of the province. With the subsequent capture of Suiyuan in 1937, in September 1939, the Mongolians formed the “Mengjiang United Autonomous Government”, whose jurisdiction covered Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shanxi – territories that were still legally under Chinese sovereignty, but wholly under Japanese military and economic control.
Japanese Invasion of Manchuria and Northern China - Timeline
1850s - Japan emerges from two centuries of near total isolation and begins aggressive industrialization and modernization
1870s - Japan uses gunboat diplomacy on Korea to force a commercial treaty
1894 – 1895 – In the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan decisively defeats China in Korea, the Liaodong Peninsula, and Taiwan
1904 – 1905 – In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan defeats Russia and gains control of Korea and Manchuria; Japan subsequently annexes Korea; although Manchuria is occupied by Japanese forces, it legally remains a part of China
1920s – Japanese Kwantung Army officers draw up a plan to invade Manchuria and annex it outright, which is approved in principle by the Japanese government, but contingent only if China provokes a war that would justify such an invasion
1928 - The invasion plan takes on more urgency because of China’s successful reunification and because the new Nationalist Chinese government under Chiang Kai-shek has begun to re-establish civilian authority in Manchuria
September 18, 1931 – The Mukden Incident becomes the pretext for Japan to accuse the Chinese of armed provocation and justify Japanese military retaliation for a full conquest of Manchuria; war breaks out and within a few days, the Kwantung Army seizes much of Liaoning and Jilin provinces; Japanese authorities co-opt many Chinese military commanders, warlords, and officials, who organize local and provincial administrations
January 1932 - Japanese forces have seized all of southern Manchuria, with Chinese forces offering no resistance and withdrawing south
November 1931 - In Heilongjiang Province in northern Manchuria, Japanese forces come to the assistance of collaborationist Chinese Army units to capture the capital Tsitsihar; in February 1932, Harbin, the last Kuomintang stronghold in Manchuria, also fall; by then, Japanese forces control all of Manchuria

The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, formally known as the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation or simply the Manchurian Operation, began on 9 August 1945 with the Soviet invasion of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. It was the last campaign of the Second World War, and the largest of the 1945 Soviet–Japanese War, which resumed hostilities between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Empire of Japan after almost six years of peace. Soviet gains on the continent were Manchukuo, Mengjiang (Inner Mongolia) and northern Korea. The Soviet entry into the war and the defeat of the Kwantung Army was a significant factor in the Japanese government's decision to surrender unconditionally, as it made apparent the Soviet Union had no intention of acting as a third party in negotiating an end to hostilities on conditional terms.
Since 1983, the operation has sometimes been called Operation August Storm after U.S. Army historian David Glantz used this title for a paper on the subject.

Japanese invasion of Manchuria
The Japanese invasion of Manchuria began on September 18, 1931, when the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan invaded Manchuria immediately following the Mukden Incident. The Japanese established a puppet state called Manchukuo, and their occupation lasted until the end of World War II.
Initial annexation
The Chinese-Japanese dispute in July 1931 (the Wanpaoshan Incident) was followed by the Mukden Incident, on September 18, 1931. The same day as the Mukden Incident, the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, which had decided upon a policy of localizing the incident, communicated its decision to the Kwantung Army command. However, Kwantung Army commander-in-chief General Shigeru Honjō instead ordered his forces to proceed to expand operations all along the South Manchurian Railway. Under orders from Lieutenant General Jirō Tamon, troops of the 2nd Division moved up the rail line and captured virtually every city along its 730-mile length in a matter of days, occupying Anshan, Haicheng, Kaiyuan, Tiehling, Fushun, Szeping-chieh, Changchun, Kuanchengtzu, Yingkou, Antung, and Penhsihu.
