Detailed explanation-1: -It took a year to report, during which time the Japanese continued to expand into Manchuria. Sanctions were not used. A Special Assembly voted that Japan should withdraw from Manchuria. When the Japanese refused and left the League of Nations, the League responded by doing nothing.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the war’s end in February 1932, the Japanese established the puppet state of Manchukuo. Their occupation lasted until the success of the Soviet Union and Mongolia with the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation in mid-August 1945, towards the end of the Second World War.
