history
After the occupation of Manchuria in 1931 and the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932, Hebei Province became a buffer zone between the national Chinese Kuomintang in Beijing and the Japanese, who had also occupied the neighboring provinces of Rehe and Chahar in 1933 .
In 1935, the Japanese set up the Eastern Hopei (East Hebei) Autonomous Military Council in Tongzhou, which was made up of collaborating Chinese military .
Until the Tongzhou incident , the military council was formally subordinate to Hebei as well as the provinces of Shandong , Shanxi , Henan and parts of Jiangsu , after which Hebei and Beijing were occupied by Japanese troops from 1937 to 1945 .
