DescriptionBefore Manchukuo Existed: A Glimpse into 1932This original Japanese photographic book, Manchurian Incident Commemorative Photo Album, was published on January 15, 1932, just four months after the Manchurian Incident began.In September 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched military operations in northeastern China. These events eventually led to the establishment of Manchukuo in March 1932, a Japanese-controlled state that existed until 1945.But when this book was published, Manchukuo did not yet exist.Its pages contain fascinating photographs of Japanese soldiers, cavalry, military operations, and cities during this turbulent period.Long before television or the internet, photographic publications like this helped people in Japan visualize events taking place far from home.The photographs and captions reflect the Japanese perspective of the time, making this book not only a record of military events but also a window into how history was presented to the public.Item Details* Published: January 15, 1932
