dynamite explosion on railway line near Mukden (Shenyang) in 1931
The Mukden incident was a 1931 explosion on a railway line near the city of Mukden in Manchuria that Japan used as a pretext to invade and occupy the region. It matters because this act of Japanese aggression was a major step toward World War II and demonstrated the weakness of international efforts to stop military expansion by powerful nations.
