The invention of Internet and World Wide Web near the end of the 20th century has great impact on the world. In this article, the author will also discuss Internet FM radio technology.
On 18th September 1931 (Friday), the Kwantung Army of Japan deliberately detonated a small quantity of dynamite close to the railway line owned by Japan’s South Manchuria Railway near Mukden. (Note: Mukden is currently known as Shenyang, which is the provincial capital of the Liaoning Province, People’s Republic of China.) Subsequently, Japan used this incident as an excuse to occupy the whole of Manchuria. (Note: Manchuria is as big as Germany, France and Italy added together.) In fact, this was the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War from 1931 to 1945.
