Map of Northern China with Manchukuo

Chine du nord - Corée - Manchoukouo

Manchukuo – a Japanese term for Manchuria – was a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in China and Inner Mongolia from 1932 until 1945. The inset of Shanghai at the foot of this map still shows the International Settlement and French Concession.

In 1943 the British and Americans agreed to relinquish their extraterritorial rights to China, although the process was complicated by the Chinese Civil War.
