Manchuria, the name given to China’s North-eastern provinces by
foreign powers, has been contested by China, Russia and Japan in
particular over many centuries. This book surveys the history of
Manchuria, focusing particularly on the Russian and Soviet
perspective. It outlines early colonisation of the region and
examines the importance of the Chinese Eastern Railway, a branch of
the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the remarkable railway city of
Harbin for consolidating the Russian presence in the region and for
developing the region’s economy. It goes on to consider twentieth
century developments, including the Japanese invasion and the
puppet state of Manchukuo. Throughout, the book reflects on the
nature of empire, especially Russian/Soviet imperialism and its
similarities to and differences from other nations’ imperial
ventures.
