Part of a Japanese railroad near Mukden was blown; the Japanese blamed the Chinese for it, and used the incident as justification for invading Manchuria in 1931.
The Mukden Incident, which occurred on September 18, 1931, was a staged event by Japanese military personnel that served as a pretext for the invasion of Manchuria. By fabricating an attack on a Japanese railway, Japan justified its military intervention and subsequent occupation of the region. This event marked a significant escalation in Japanese imperialism, as it led to the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo and expanded Japan's territorial ambitions in East Asia, ultimately contributing to tensions that precipitated World War II. The incident exemplified the aggressive expansionist policies that characterized Japanese imperialism in the early 20th century.
