The Evacuation of Manchukuo occurred during the Soviet Red Army's liberation of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo as part of the wider Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation of August 1945.
The Soviets recovered territory which had been captured by Japan during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, and they dismantled the Manchu industrial infrastructure. This deprived Chiang Kai Shek's troops of a vital region of China, and gave Mao Zedong's VIII Army the opportunity to overrun the ancient Manchu kingdom.
