Manchuria is the name of a region now mostly part of northeast China. It was fought over between China and Russia (1858), and between Japan and Russia (1900-1905, 1920-1925) and again from 1939 to 1945 when it was the Japanese territory of Manchukuo. Some islands were again involved in military actions during the Sino-Soviet conflict of 1969.

Manchuria borders the Russian territory of Amur Oblast, Primorsky Krai,and the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast" which has now only a small Jewish minority. To the south, it borders North Korea -- the small Russian-Korean border now cuts off Manchuria from the Sea of Japan.

Manchuria is now divided into four Chinese provinces:

Inner Mongolia (capital Hohhot)

Heilongjiang (capital Harbin)

Jilin (capital Chanchung)

Liaoning (capital Shenyang)
