Southern Asia 84 years ago today: Soviet Invasion of Xinjiang (16 Mar 1934) http://omniatlas.com/maps/southasia/19340316/ The 1933 invasion of Xinjiang by the Nationalist Chinese-allied Ma family alarmed the Soviet Union, which responded by mounting its own invasion of the province to support its besieged governor. With the help of their modern army, the Soviets expelled the Ma, effectively turning Xinjiang into a satellite state. #southasia #history #welovemaps #1930s #1934 #china #eastturkestanrepublic #britishempire #britishraj #india #maclique #maps #march #march16 #russia #xinjiang #yemen #warlord #warlordchina #map #civilwar #war #ussr #sovietunion #cartography #tibet #geography #stalin (at Ürümqi)

Southern Asia 77 years ago today: World War II and the Day of Deliverance (22 Dec 1939) http://omniatlas.com/maps/southasia/19391222/ When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, the Viceroy of India followed Britain by declaring war on Germany. Offended that it had not been consulted before the declaration, the Indian National Congress resigned its provincial seats in protest. However this action pleased Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his All-India Muslim League, who proclaimed a 'Day of Deliverance' to celebrate the resignations and the end of the dominance of Congress in India. #southasia #history #welovemaps #1930s #1939 #bangladesh #china #december #december22 #germany #greatbritain #india #japan #maclique #maps #pakistan #poland #russia #thailand #xinjiang (at Mumbai, India)
