A. Survey Plan This survey assesses the extent to which the Lytton Commission was a success or failure of the League of Nations during the Manchurian crisis. To evaluate its success or failure, the investigation focuses on the events that led to the creation of the Lytton Commission, focusing on and considering in particular the different points of view of China and Japan during the Manchurian crisis. The purpose of the Commission is also examined, and finally, details associated with the consequences of the final report of the Lytton Commission are used to evaluate the success or failure of the League of Nations. The two sources used for the evaluation, The Verdict of the League: China and Japan in Manchuria by Manley Hudson and Life along the South Manchurian Railway: The Memoirs of Ito Takeo translated by Joshua Fogel are evaluated for their origins, purposes, limitations and values .B. Summary of Evidence The Lytton Commission was created in 1931 and was essentially an investigative group appointed by the League of Nations. Led by VAGR Bulwer-Lytton, the group was to "study on the spot and report to the Council on any circumstances which, affecting international relations, threaten to disturb the peace between China and Japan" (Hsü 120). Starting on September 18, 1931, near the Japanese-guarded Mukden in the southern Manchurian railway area, the Manchurian crisis triggered China's appeal to the League of Nations (Scott). The Japanese command sent troops out of the railway area because it believed military precautions were necessary. An attempt to terminate them ensued in Chinese cities near railway lines. Of these cities, some included Mukden, Changchun. .. half of the document ......the lack of sincerity and respect from Asia for the League, which indicates its failure.E. ConclusionThe Lytton Commission report was undoubtedly a unique achievement. Although a neutral commission investigated the factors behind the matter with great care, the tedium of the task required a large amount of time and it appeared that Japan did not give serious consideration to the actions extended periods of the League of Nations. Indeed, despite the Lytton Commission's investigations, the situation in Manchuria continued to worsen. The lesson of the League's failure to deal effectively with the Manchuria Incident was exemplified by Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations. At this point, the sincerity of Japan's approval of the final report was revealed, preparing for new and greater conquests in China, ultimately worsening Sino-Japanese relations..
