Potential Jewish colony
I have made a pointer here from Zionism, I recall having heard about a Japanese proposal to ask Nazi Germany to transfer the Jews to serve as colonists in Manchukuo. Does anybody know more? -- Error
It happened - My 100 year old Great Uncle and his family escaped the Nazis that way.
The Fugu Plan
If the Japanese treatment of Jews seems odd — know that an American Jew helped with financing their war against Russia in 1905. In 1919, White Russians introduced the Japanese to the book, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." The Japanese called their plan for Jewish settlement "The Fugu Plan." "Fugu" is highly poisonous blowfish. After the toxin-containing organs are painstakingly removed, it is used as a food in Japan, and is considered an exquisite delicacy. If it is not prepared carefully, however, its poison can kill a person. Ten thousand displaced people were relocated to Shanghai during its implementation with two thousand Jews housed in the Kansai area.
Koreans in Manchuria
I believe Japan also had Koreans move to Manchuria as part of the plan to "settle the land". Guppy 04:45, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Romanizations
Is this the spelling by which most searchers would expect to find the name? I did a Google search and came up with 6,990 hits for Manchukuo and only 187 for Manzhouguo. -- Zoe
- "Manchukuo" is probably better. The change in transliterations came after Manchukuo ceased to exist, so the English-speaking world would never have seen much effort to change it. Stan 13:49 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)
Seconded. But I cannot move because there is already an article Manchukuo. I will put this to vote for deletion. -- Taku 05:33 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)
