 | | Japan claimed this invasion as liberation of the Manchus from the Chinese, just as they have claimed annexation of Korea was an act of protection. | | | Japan then established a puppet regime called Manchukuo, and installed former Emperor of China, Puyi as official head of state. | | | Inukai is assassinated during a coup attempt and Saito Makoto becomes prime minister (May 15). |
