Mukden Incident (1931)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “The Mukden Incident”
18 Sep 1931 — Kwantung Army officers bomb their own railway, blame China, and overrun Manchuria in five months — against Tokyo’s orders and to national applause. Chiang, mid-campaign against the soviets, orders non-resistance and appeals to the League. Its report changes nothing. The world’s security system fails its first great test here.
