rdfs:comment	After the occupation of Manchukuo and Korea, Japan turned its military interests to Soviet territories. Conflicts between the Japanese and the Soviets frequently happened on the border of Manchuria. Athough the Japanese learnt valuable lessons at the Battle of Lake Khasan (29 July 1938 – 11 August 1938), they were not used effectively at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol (11 May 1939 – 16 September 1939), forcing the Japanese to seek an armistice with the Soviets, forming the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact.

abstract	After the occupation of Manchukuo and Korea, Japan turned its military interests to Soviet territories. Conflicts between the Japanese and the Soviets frequently happened on the border of Manchuria. Athough the Japanese learnt valuable lessons at the Battle of Lake Khasan (29 July 1938 – 11 August 1938), they were not used effectively at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol (11 May 1939 – 16 September 1939), forcing the Japanese to seek an armistice with the Soviets, forming the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact. The treaty was signed in Moscow on 13 April 1941, and at a later date, the treaty was expanded to include a declaration regarding Mongolia and Manchuria. The Soviet Union pledged to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo, while Japan did the same for the Mongolian People's Republic. On 8 August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria, keeping their promise to the other Allies at the Yalta Conference to enter the war with Japan three months after the end of World War II in Europe.
