'''Manchukuo''' ([[Pinyin]]: ''Manzhouguo'')was the Japanese [[puppet state]] established in north-east [[China]]([[Manchuria]]) on 6 February 1932, following its military occupation of the region in 1931 (the [[Mukden Incident]]). The last [[Qing]] emperor of China, Aisin Gioro [[Puyi]] (1905-67), who was ousted from power in China by the [[1911 Revolution]] and who had sought sanctuary with the Japanese in 1924, was installed as the 'Chief Executive' of the puppet state, and on 1 March 1934 was declared Emperor of Manchukuo. The state collapsed under the impact of the [[Soviet Invasion]] of August 1945 and the end of the surrender of Japanese forces.
