Japanese expansion into Eastern Asia began with the invasion of Manchuria in 1931. It also created a separate puppet state in Inner Mongolia. The Chinese Nationalist capital of Nanking also surrendered to the Japanese in 1937. The Japanese killed as many of 300,000 Chinese in the Massacre of Nanking.
