Japanese Invasion Of Manchuria

Though fighting had been going on in China for a lot longer, the Sino-Japanese War only started in 1937. Invading Manchuria in China in 1931 and creating the puppet state of Manchukuo, Japan set off a war that lasted until the fall of the Japanese empire in 1945.

Throughout the conflict, Japanese forces carried out several crimes across most of China. While some of them, such as the 1937 Nanking Massacre, in which the invading army tormented hundreds of thousands of residents in Nanking for six weeks, are well-known, others are now largely forgotten.

The main laboratory were located in Manchukuo, where Japan, like Germany, conducted extensive experimentation on the populace it had seized. TThe details are graphic since the studies were frequently conducted in spartan and cruel ways. The victims were typically captured war prisoners, many of whom would pass away during the experimentation within weeks.
