What was the northernmost point of japanese control by december 1942? french indochina hong kong manchuria thailand

The northernmost point of Japanese control by December 1942 was Manchuria, where the puppet-state of Manchukuo was established.

Manchukuo was a puppet state - although nominally independent - that existed during the decades of the 1930s and 1940s, and whose territory would correspond to the current regions of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. The area was collectively known as "Manchuria" by Western countries and the Japanese.

In 1931 this Chinese region was conquered by Japan as a result of the so-called Mukden Incident, after which the Japanese authorities installed a pro-Japanese puppet government with the former Chinese emperor Puyi as head of state. Puyi would end up being crowned Emperor of Manchukuo, although without showing any real power. The Manchus formed a minority in Manchukuo, whose main ethnic group were the Han. In turn, the population of Koreans increased considerably during the period of Manchukuo's existence, as did the populations of Japanese, Mongols, white Russians and other minorities. The Mongolian regions to the west of Manchuria were governed under a slightly different administration, in recognition of the Mongol traditions existing there. As for the southern part of the Liaodong peninsula, it was administered directly by Japan as the Kwantung Leased Territory.

The government of Manchukuo was abolished in August of 1945, after the territory was occupied by the Soviet Army towards the end of the Second World War. The conquered territories came to be administered by the Soviet Union for several months and finally would be transferred to the Chinese administration a year later.
