On Japan's invasion of Dalian

1897, Russia and the Qing government signed the Sino-Russian Land Lease Treaty, stipulating that Luda (now Dalian) was leased to Russia for 25 years from 1898 to 1923 and 1904, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.19004.

During Russia's occupation of Luda, Luda Concession, which started from Pulandian Bay in the west and went to the south of Qiziwo Bay in the east, including the islands, was called "Guandong County", and Japan adopted this name. At the same time, Japan illegally expanded the concession area of about 260 square kilometers, including the five islands in Fuzhou, which expanded the concession area to 3426 square kilometers and implemented colonial rule. Prior to this, Japan occupied about 36,000 square kilometers of land in Taiwan Province Province of China through the treaty of shimonoseki signed in 1894- 1895 during the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1895 1905. 19 10, the Sino-DPRK Merger Treaty forcibly annexed Korea and occupied 220,000 square kilometers of land; In addition, Japan signed a contract with Russia to occupy about 30,000 square kilometers south of 50 degrees north latitude of Sakhalin Island (the island belongs to China and was renamed Sakhalin Island after the Russian occupation). The land in the above four areas, totaling about 290,000 square kilometers, is regarded as "Japanese territory" by Japan and incorporated into the territory of Japan, so it is indicated in red on the map.

After the September 18th Incident, Japan invaded Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Jehol provinces in the northeast of China and Inner Mongolia in the east, patched them together into "Manchukuo" and occupied more than one million square kilometers of China territory. Therefore, most of the maps printed in Japan are pink or yellow, which means that they will be formally incorporated into the territory of Japan in the future.

At that time, Japan concocted a puppet regime-Manchukuo. As a younger generation, especially in Dalian, it is necessary to understand this history. This map of the current situation of Japanese and China people is rare now. This is historical evidence of Japanese imperialism's attempt to annex Luda, Northeast China and even China, which should be well preserved.
