Kwantung Government-General
The Kwantung Government-General was the Japanese administration of the Kwantung Leased Territory on the Liaodong peninsula, set up at Port Arthur in 1906 under General Ōshima Yoshimasa after Japan took over Russia's lease. Its governor-general, an army officer, also guarded and supervised the South Manchuria Railway zone. In 1919 it was divided into a civilian Kwantung Government and the separate Kwantung Army.
