With the military occupation that began in 1931, the provinces of northeast China, or Manchuria, were transformed from a sphere of influence into the puppet state of "Manchukuo." The building of Manchukuo was a tremendous undertaking, involving ongoing military campaigns to crush native resistance, elaborate development plans to integrate the Japanese and Manchurian economies and create a self-sufficient productive sphere, and a grandiose immigration scheme, projecting the transportation of five million Japanese farmers to the Manchurian frontier.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a With the military occupation that began in 1931, the provinces of northeast China, or Manchuria, were transformed from a sphere of influence into the puppet state of "Manchukuo." The building of Manchukuo was a tremendous undertaking, involving ongoing military campaigns to crush native resistance, elaborate development plans to integrate the Japanese and Manchurian economies and create a self-sufficient productive sphere, and a grandiose immigration scheme, projecting the transportation of five million Japanese farmers to the Manchurian frontier.
520 $a These three efforts--military conquest, economic development, and frontier settlement--brought hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, entrepreneurs, and agricultural immigrants to northeast China in the space of a few years, while at home many times their number labored to build the empire in indirect though no less essential ways. This study looks at the mobilization of domestic society for empire, the war fever that rallied people around the defense of "the Manchurian lifeline," the economic boom that convinced businessmen to underwrite "Manchurian development," and the immigration fever that impelled farmers to abandon their homeland for a "Manchurian paradise." For all the changes wrought on the Manchurian landscape, imperialism entailed a corresponding transformation at home.
520 $a The standard picture of "Manchukuo" shows Japan's imperial army running amok, while powerless politicians, unwelcome industrialists and exploited citizens looked on helplessly. Yet it clearly took more than generals and jackboots to make an empire. Thus my work centers on the role played by civil society in the imperial task. Whether it was media promotion of the military hard-line, activities of business organizations to advance corporate interests in "Manchukuo," or the enthusiasm of village leadership for the emigration project, civil organizations and private citizens became self-appointed imperial advocates. Drawing on popular magazines, propaganda pamphlets, local histories, travel guides, chamber of commerce records, and other sources from the archives of civil society, this study formulates a portrait of Manchukuo as Japanese understood and experienced it at home.
