NOTE: The Battle of Lake Khasan (July 29, 1938 – August 11, 1938) and also known as the Changkufeng Incident (Russian: Хасанские бои) in China and Japan, was an attempted military incursion of Manchukuo (Japanese) into the territory claimed by the Soviet Union. This incursion was founded in the beliefs of the Japanese side that the Soviet Union misinterpreted the demarcation of the boundary based on theTreaty of Peking between Imperial Russia and the Manhcu Empire (and subsequent supplementary agreements on demarcation), and furthermore, that the demarcation markers were tampered with.
