Manchukuo , Japanese Puppet State

Using the Manchurian incident of 1931 as a springboard, the Kanto (or Kwandung) Army strengthened its rule in Manchuria and continued to exert influence in the colony. In founding Manchukuo, Japanese authorities made use of the deposed Ching emperor. While immigration to Manchuria was promoted as a remedy to, among other things, Japan's population glut, these films are the ultimate incarnation of that propaganda message.
