The Manchuria Incident, also known as the Mukden Incident, occurred on September 18, 1931, when Japanese military personnel staged an explosion on a railway in Manchuria, China, as a pretext to invade the region. This event led to Japan's rapid military occupation of Manchuria and the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo. The incident marked a significant escalation in Japanese militarism and imperial expansion in East Asia, contributing to tensions that eventually led to the Second Sino-Japanese War. The League of Nations condemned Japan's actions, but the country withdrew from the League in 1933.
