In [[December]] [[1931]], the [[League of Nations]], founded after the end of [[World War I]] ([[1919]]-[[1920]]) with the [[Treaty of Versailles]], sent a commission to [[China]] to investigate the [[Mukden Incident|September 18 incident]] (or [[Mukden Incident]]), an early event in [[China's War against Japanese Aggression]] ([[1937]]-[[1945]]). The commission was headed by [[V.A.G.R. Bulwer-Lytton]], the second Earl of Lytton and son of a noted British diplomat.

In [[April]] [[1932]], the commission began its investigation in [[Shenyang]], and in [[September]] submitted its findings to the [[League of Nations]]. The [[League of Nations]] then released the '''Lytton Report''' on [[October 2]], [[1932]].

The report stated that [[Japan]] was clearly the aggressor in the situation. However, the commission also decided that [[Manchuria]] should become an autonomous region, with [[China]] only having physical control.

In the end, the [[Lytton Report]] basically served to show the weaknesses of the [[League]]. The commission failed to stop [[Japanese aggression]], instead, so displeased with the report,[[ Japan]] withdrew from the [[League of Nations]] the in [[1933]].
