On 18 September 1931, a bomb exploded near the Japanese owned railway near Mukden. The Japanese Army blamed the Chinese nationalists and demanded that the Japanese government take action to protect Japanese interests in Manchuria. This event provided an opportunity for a military takeover of Manchuria. A full-scale invasion took place on 19 September 1931. In September 1932, the Japanese government recognised the new state by signing a treaty with Manchukuo, placing the new country under Japanese military control. The question is - why did Japan carry out such an act? What was the main reason that led to such aggression?
