Jilin was invaded by [[Japan]] during [[World War II]]. It became the seat of the [[Manchukuo]] state. It was liberated by the Nationalist forces, but they surrendered it to the Communist Party because of pressure from the [[Soviet Union]]. The Nationalists tried to capture Jilin again in 1950, but they failed and had to retreat to [[Taiwan]].
