The new order stated that “Manchuria is its reservoir and East Asia (including China) is its paddy field (Doc A).” This is important because it is saying that Manchuria and East Asia are theirs for the taking.

For centuries three emperors only ruled China and in addition to such a fruitful time period, China was able to imperially expand.

Through their perspectives we get firsthand accounts on the events in China leading to the Communist Revolution. For the purpose of this paper I will be focusing on the events up to the Communist takeover of mainland China.
