In 1931, Imperial Japan ruled Korea but had its eyes on the mineral wealth of Manchuria. On the pretense of taking action to stop Chinese interference with the railway Japan used to get to Manchuria, Japan invaded and conquered Manchuria despite attempts by the Chinese to fight back. Soon Japan was waging war all over China. China was not a developed military power and Japan was. The result was the end of Chinese autonomy.
