On the Chinese Revolution map as “August Storm”
9 Aug 1945 — The Soviet Union enters the war and overruns Manchukuo in eleven days. Japanese arsenals pass — by neglect or design — to Lin Biao’s arriving columns; Soviet troops strip the factories and go home in 1946. The civil war’s decisive arena is created in a week.
