42 Votes to 1: The League's Verdict on Manchuria (1931–34) ===== DESCRIPTION ===== In February 1933 the League of Nations voted 42 to 1 that Japan's seizure of Manchuria could not stand. By the end of 1934, Japan still held all of it. This documentary follows the verdict and the map, from the Mukden railway blast of September 1931 to Geneva, Tokyo, London, Washington, Shanghai, Jehol, Berlin and Vienna, and asks why judging an aggressor was easy and stopping one was not. 0:00 - Forty-two to one 1:00 - Mukden, 18 September 1931 3:02 - Tokyo and the Yalu crossing 5:52 - China appeals to the League 9:11 - Stimson's non-recognition note 11:25 - Shanghai, 1932 13:54 - Britain's Ten Year Rule 15:57 - Geneva in March: the Assembly and the Shanghai truce 17:03 - Manchukuo and the death of Inukai 18:39 - The Lytton Report 21:15 - The vote, 24 February 1933 23:22 - Jehol and the Tanggu Truce 24:48 - Germany leaves Geneva 27:05 - Vienna and the Brenner Pass 28:22 - The naval treaty notice 29:35 - The verdict and the map #history #Manchuria #LeagueOfNations #documentary
