Jinzhou (Chinese: 錦州) was one of the provinces of Manchukuo. On December 1, 1934, Jinzhou was established after it was split from Fengtian.[1] On August 20, 1945, Jinzhou was disestablished after the dissolution of Manchukuo in the Soviet–Japanese War.[2][3]

Jinzhou was mostly Chinese with Korean minorities within it too.[4] Many Japanese settlers migrated to the area, during which many human rights abuses were committed.[5][6] It was exploited by Japan for its resources and used to launch an invasion of China during the Second Sino–Japanese War.[7]
