The Mukden Incident of September 18, 1931, known in Japanese as the Manchurian Incident, occurred in southern Manchuria when a section of railroad, owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway, near Mukden (today's Shenyang) was dynamited by Japanese junior officers. Imperial Japan's military accused Chinese dissidents of the act, thus providing a pretext for the Japanese occupation of Manchuria. The incident represented an early event in the Second Sino-Japanese War, although full-scale war would not start until 1937.

The Manchurian Incident was when Japan blew up sections of railroad in the area of Manchuria and then blamed it on China. The significance this had was that it allowed Japan to occupy Manchuria and the League of Nations to order that Japan withdraw from Manchuria. Japan ignored this order and months later, Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, crucially making Japan an enemy to the Allies in World War 2.
