Study on the Incident of the Lytton Commission Being Blocked from Entering the Puppet Manchukuo
The Lytton Commission's visit to Northeast China for investigation was an important link,but the puppet Manchukuo refused to allow Wellington Koo to leave Shanhaiguan,causing the Lytton Commission to be blocked from entering the puppet Manchukuo.Around the demand of the Lytton Commission to enter into the Northeast region and get out of the South Manchuria Railway Zone,the Commission and the League of Nations,Koo and the National Government,the Japanese Embassies abroad and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,the puppet Manchuria andthe Kwantung Army launched a series of fierce protests,negotiations and compromise.The essence of the blocked incident of the Commission was not only related to the internal and external"legitimacy"construction of the puppet Manchukuo,but also related to the mediation ability of the Commission and the League of Nations in East Asia,and reflected the"nature"of the September 18 Incident.Viewing from the impact of the blocked incident on the National Government,the puppet Manchukuo,the Commission,and Japan,this is a zero-sum game.Japan's attempt to realize the change of power in Northeast China after the September 18 Incident and get the recognition of the international community by tying the blocked incident to the recognition of the puppet Manchukuo had failed.This incident is the epitome of the game between the Lytton Commission and the great powers,indicating that the international settlement strategy relied on by the National Government could not restore the status quo in Northeast China,and the mediation mechanism of the League of Nations was unable to maintain the peace order in East Asia.
