INTERNATIONAL (CHINESE-KOREAN-JAPANESE) RELATIONS IN MANCHURIA THE FIRST THIRD OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
Manchuria (northeast China) has always been at the crossroads of the movement and interests of several peoples and States: China, Manchurian ethnic groups, Korea (in Korea, this region is considered the sacred homeland of the ancestors of modern Koreans). In the 20th century, waves of Russian expansion and Japanese aggression collided here, leading to two wars between these countries. This region became a place of cohabitation of Chinese, Manchus, Koreans, Japanese and Russians, whose common history was intertwined in complex relationships as residents of a large communal apartment, creating coalitions, weaving intrigues, but forced to get along in this common house.
