What was said
""The Soviets sent 1 million troops into Manuria in August 1945 and they invade all of Manuria.""
Frank Dikötter argues that Soviet forces entered Manchuria in August 1945 and occupied the region for months. He claims the occupation enabled Chinese communists to take control of the countryside and that US policymakers later pushed China’s government towards a coalition after misreading the communists’ aims.
