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. 651 0 Manchuria (China) |xHistory. 651 0 Manchuria (China) |xAdministrative and political divisions. 651 0 Manchuria (China) |xPolitics and government. 651 0 Manchuria (China) |xForeign relations |zRussia (Federation). 651 0 Russia (Federation) |xForeign relations |zChina |zManchuria. 651 0 Manchuria (China) |xForeign relations. 650 7 Administrative and political divisions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00796826 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 China |zManchuria. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01242805 651 7 Russia (Federation) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01262050 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781000453041 830 0 Routledge studies in the history of Russia and Eastern Europe 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h334529 914 (OCoLC)on1246285268 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240703 |eprocessed |f1246285268 980 17344489 |i160.00 |j131.20 |n40031114127 982 |cf |q32101118791027 986 |hDS783 |i.D85 2022
