193373809New York: The South Manchuria Railway Company 1933. A promotional piece extolling "The Progress of Manchuria" following the establishment of Manchukuo a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in northeast China and Inner Mongolia produced in conjunction with the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition at Chicago. Established in 1906 the Japanese-owned and operated South Manchuria Railway Company or Mantetsu for short was charged with a government-like role in managing the rail transportation and urban planning after the Japanese invasion in 1931.<br/><br/>"It is conceded by all that the rapid industrial agricultural and educational development of Manchuria during the past 28 years is chiefly due to Japanese investments and the enterprise of her industrialists and skilled technicians. In all this important work the South Manchuria Railway Company has taken the lead and it is largely through the foresight confidence and intelligence of the administration of this great artery of commerce that has made Manchuria a prosperous and peaceful land for the past twenty years. This explains why the great migration of nearly 8000000 to Manchuria took place in the last few years. Here they found a land of peace and plenty until the war lords taxed and exploited them to the limit so they declared their independence as did the Americans in 1776."<br/><br/>This folding brochure opens to a railway map of the region which shows four sections under construction. There are also 12 photographic images highlighting Manchuria's historic sights modern infrastructure and abundant resources. Printed in color on a 12" x 18" sheet of white paper that folds to 4" x 9" 12 panels. A fine fresh example with just a hint of edgewear.

Overall in quite good conditionObviously assembled by a Japanese civilian there are no images of the Japanese Army the album gives the impression of life in Manchuria under Japanese rule as a quiet contented and peaceful place. History tells a different story. As part of earlier treaty agreements the Japanese had troops protecting the railroad in Southern Manchuria. The Japanese wanted to expand their control over Manchuria so on September 18 1931; the Japanese planted a small explosive device next to the tracks owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railroad near Mukden. The explosion that followed became known as the Mukden incident and provided an excuse for the Japanese to seize all of the cities along the railroad. At the same time the Japanese army in Korea which was occupied by the Japanese sent forces into Manchuria and quickly seized all the major cities in Liaoning and Kirin provinces. All of this took place without the approval of the civilian government in Japan. The Japanese continued to advance despite Chinese opposition. By February 27 1932 the last Chinese opposing the Japanese were forced to surrender all of Manchuria was in Japanese hands. N.p. hardcover

1940234221940. Chinese prisoner execution photo archive from Japanese-occupied Manchuria circa 1940s recording the custody restraint killing and aftermath of Chinese prisoners under Japanese military control. Japan's occupation of Manchuria followed the Mukden Incident of September 18 1931 when Japanese forces used an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway as the pretext for military conquest; in 1932 Japan established Manchukuo a puppet state that drew international condemnation through the League of Nations' Lytton Commission. By the 1940s Manchuria remained a central zone of Japanese military power in northeast China where occupation authority puppet-state policing and anti-guerrilla campaigns produced summary punishments prisoner shootings and public terror against local Chinese populations.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 7 silver gelatin photographs each 4" x 6.5" Manchuria circa 1940s. Japanese soldiers in field uniforms and peaked caps surround blindfolded Chinese captives seated in open ground near an earthen bank; in one scene soldiers level rifles toward bound or blindfolded prisoners at close range. Several men lie face down or on their sides at the base of the embankment with soldiers and civilian onlookers standing above them; plain wooden boxes or planks sit nearby suggesting prepared burial or removal. Another scene records a prisoner being physically restrained in a courtyard or village setting with tiled rooflines uniformed soldiers and civilian men crowded around him. The sequence moves between armed custody execution ground bodies on the earth and prisoner handling under guard giving the group a direct evidentiary relationship to Japanese military violence in occupied Manchuria.<br /> <br /> Manchuria was not a peripheral theater in Japan's war in China; it was the region where the Kwantung Army transformed a railway-security pretext into territorial occupation state building under Manchukuo and a long-running military presence that helped bring international crisis in the 1930s and full-scale war in Asia. The scenes preserved here are not battlefront combat views but close-range records of prisoners controlled by armed soldiers making the archive especially significant for the study of occupation violence Japanese military practice wartime China and the fate of Chinese civilians or irregular fighters labeled enemies under Japanese authority. Light edge wear and minor fading to some areas; images remain primarily clean; overall very good condition. The archive preserves a compact but stark record of military force in Japanese-occupied Manchuria grounded in the physical proximity between guards prisoners rifles and bodies. unknown
