Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 following the Mukden Incident, where Japanese soldiers staged an explosion on a railway line and blamed Chinese forces as a pretext for military action. This invasion was driven by Japan's desire for resources and territory, as well as its expansionist ambitions in Asia. The occupation of Manchuria led to the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, further escalating tensions in the region and setting the stage for future conflicts.
