The Manchurian Crisis 1931-1933
The first major failure of the League, in 1930, was over the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
Why did Japan invade?
Japan had been badly hit by the Depression. Her industrial strength depended on exports. These fell by 50% between 1929 and 1931. Without exports she could not buy the inports she needed. The country was also overcrowded. The military leaders believed that Japan should expand for more living space and raw materials. Japan chose Manchuria because:
The Mukden Incident
In September the Japanese army staged the Mukden incident. On the night of 18 September, there was an explosion on the South Manchurian Railway just outside the city of Mukden. The Japanese claimed this was an act of sabotage by the Chinese. The Chinese denied this, claiming that all their soldiers in the areas were in barracks at the time. This gave the Japanese the ideal excuse to take over Manchuria. The invasion was a great success. In 1932 Manchuria was renamed Manchukuo. The last Chinese Emperor, Pu Yi, who had been overthrown in 1911, was made the Japanese puppet ruler.
What did the League of Nations do?
Most countries were horrified at what Japan had done. China asked the League of Nations for help. The League:
The Japanese government kept Manchuria and then left the League in 1933. The League did not stop Japanese aggression. Indeed Japan went on to occupy the Chinese city of Jehol.
Background: The Mukden Incident of September 18, 1931, known in Japanese as the Manchurian Incident, occurred in southern Manchuria when a section of railroad, owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway, near Mukden (today's Shenyang) was dynamited by Japanese junior officers. Imperial Japan's military accused Chinese dissidents of the act, thus providing a pretext for the Japanese occupation of Manchuria. The incident represented an early event in the Second Sino-Japanese War, although full-scale war would not start until 1937.
Answer The Great Depression was one major factor that led to the Japanese' invasion of the north-east state of China, soon to become known as Manchukuo - an independent puppet-run state by the Japenese army. For Japan, its economy was shattered by the collapse of the American market and the subsequent trade tarrif increases by its neighbouring countries, China and the USA. This meant Japan was unable to export any of its goods. In 1931 an incident in Manchuria gave the Japanese army leaders the opportunity they had been looking for to expand its Japanese empire. Manchuria already had a section of Japan-built railway through Manchuria which army leaders claim the Chinese had sabotaged. The occupation of the state was met with little resistance as the Japanese army clearly orchestrated the attack well which suggests today that the incident was pre-empted. The civil government in Tokoyo called for the army to withdraw, but instructions were ignored. This made it clear that it was the army and not the government in control of Japan's foreign policy. Soon the Japanese had access to China's former Manchurian province's Natural Resources and materials to transport via the railway back.
Japan had a large army and navy. since 1905, it had controlled the territory of the South Manchurian Railway. In September 1931, it used the excuse of a disturbance to take Mukden and send its troops to overrun the rest of Manchuria. The Japanese pretended to give Manchuria independence. they put a weak leader called Puyi (who'd been the last emperor of China) on the throne so they could control him. the league of Nations sent Lord Lytton to assess the situation. He produced a report which said the Japanese had been wrong, But the league didn't do anything else- it failed to stop Japan and end the crisis
the main causes were that Japan wanted to seize Manchuria's good sources and needed more land as their population increased in the 1930s
The Manchurian crisis did not have a huge impact on world peace; however, it was the first incident leading up to the second Sino-Japanese war. The Manchurian crisis was the first invasion of the war (or, rather, before the war), and it is arguable that it led up to the WWII Japanese invasion. Manchurian crisis was japan government trying to take over chian. There plan was to make an empire.
It took over a year to complete, and within that time the invasion and occupation of Manchuria was complete by Japan.
In the 1960's
Proactive crisis management is when organizations take the first step to take necessary precautions in order to avoid a crisis. However, they also develop a plan for what to do if a crisis does occur. This way they are being proactive in facing crisis situation.
A currency crisis occurs when a country can no longer support the price of its currency in foreign-exchange markets under a fixed-exchange-rate system.

the abyssinisn crisis as Mussolini was a agrressive nationlist
why financial crisis occur why financial crisis occur
The trains in Belgium being on time was not a cause.
The Manchurian Crisis of September 8, 1931 (also known as the "Mukden Incident", also known as the "Manchurian Incident") resulted in the Japanese invasion of China.
It took over a year to complete, and within that time the invasion and occupation of Manchuria was complete by Japan.
I believe that it was the Manchurian crisis, it showed everyone that a strong minded country could overpower the league. Italy took alot of notice of Manchuria and noticed the league could do nothing. This is why Italy did what they did because they knew the league was powerless. Maybe without the Manchurian crisis, Mussolini would not have acted the way that he did. The Manchurian Crisis (1931) I think shows worldwide that the League of Nation cannot really handle tough job and anything involving major countries. It shows how they are weak and ineffective in dealing such tension. Disarmament Conference (1932), well it showed how LON cannot get involve and interfere with. They basically didn't do anything and because of the failure, countries began re-arming . I think Abyssinian Crisis was the climax and the reason was because we see how two powerful country, Britain and France going behind the back of LON and created the Hoare-Laval pact with Mussolini (give 2/3 of Abyssinia to Italy.) It was leaked and people were horrified and disgusted of how they would back stab. I think its the Abyssinian Crisis :)
The Manchurian Plain is located in northeastern China, covering parts of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces. It is one of the largest plains in China and is characterized by fertile land and a temperate climate.
