Manchuria

Manchuria is a historical name given to a vast geographic region in northeast Asia. Depending on the definition of its extent, Manchuria either falls entirely within China, or is divided between China and Russia.

Manchuria was conquered by Japan early in the 20th century after it defeated China. While China posed no threat, Russia's interests in the region created tensions with Japan throughout the 1920s. After the Second Great War, Russia was badly bloodied, allowing Japan to secure its position in Manchuria.
