    Expansion into Manchukuo
    Following the successful occupation, the Kwantung Army played the dominant role in engineering the establishment of Manchukuo in 1932. They installed the former Qing Dynasty emperor, Puyi, as the nominal head of state, first as Chief Executive and later as Emperor in 1934. The army served as the de facto governing body, dictating policy through its direct control over the Japanese residents and the Manchukuo Imperial Army.
