Postal history of Manchukuo

The history of Manchukuo post and stamps dates back to the period of the puppet state of Manchukuo (means "Manchu State" in Chinese) established in 1932 (after the occupation of this Chinese territory by Japan in 1931) and ceased to exist in 1945 (after the defeat of the Japanese Empire at the end of World War II) in the first half of the 20th century. The postal circulation of this state had its own postage stamps.
