Originally, Japan took control in the area after the First Sino-Japanese War, but returned it to China, which then leasd it to Russia. The Russo-Japanese War, however, let Japan reoccupy it, and then obtain a 99-year lease in 1915. The South Manchurian Railroad Line, owned by a Japanese corporation, terminated in the Leasehold; the railroad provided cover for Japanese intelligence and covert action throughout Manchuria.[1]
The Kwangtung Army was the Japanese military force that secured the Leasehold, and eventually used it as a staging area to move into China.
