- Russia: Parts of Manchuria north of the Amur River and east of the Ussuri River were ceded to the Russian Empire in 1858 and 1860, and are now known as Outer Manchuria or the Russian Far East (including Primorsky Krai, Amur Oblast, and parts of Khabarovsk Krai).
- Name Change: The term “Manchuria” is deprecated in modern China due to its association with Japanese imperialism and the puppet state of Manchukuo (1932–1945). [1, 2, 3]
Historical Background:Manchuria was the ancestral homeland of the Manchu people who founded the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Following the 1931 Japanese invasion, the region was renamed Manchukuo, a puppet state under Japanese control until 1945. After World War II, it was returned to Chinese control. [1, 4]
