The Provisional Government of the Republic of China (, or (日本語:Chūka Minkoku Rinji Seifu)) was a Chinese provisional government protected by the Empire of Japan that existed from 1937 to 1940 during the Second Sino-Japanese War.〔Brune, Chronological History of US Foreign Relations, page 521〕 ==History== After the conquest of Northern China, Japanese Imperial General Headquarters authorized the creation of a collaborationist regime as part of its overall strategy to establish an autonomous buffer zone between China and Japanese-controlled Manchukuo. It nominally controlled the provinces of Hopei, Shantung, Shansi, Henan and Kiangsu.〔Jennings, John M.; ''The Opium Empire: Japanese Imperialism and Drug Trafficking in Asia, 1895-1945'', pg. 92〕 The Provisional Government of the Republic of China was officially inaugurated by Wáng Kèmǐn, former Kuomintang Minister of Finance, on 14 December 1937, with its capital at Beijing. Its activities were carefully prescribed and overseen by advisors provided by the Japanese Northern China Area Army. The failure of the Japanese to give any real authority to the Provisional Government discredited it in the eyes of the local inhabitants, and made its existence of only limited propaganda utility to the Japanese authorities.〔Black, World War Two: A Military History, pg. 34〕 The Provisional Government was, along with the Reformed Government of the Republic of China, merged into Wang Jingwei's Nanjing-based reorganized national government on 30 March 1940, but in practical terms actually remained virtually independent under the name of the "North China Political Affairs Commission" 〔Li, Lillian M., et al; ''Beijing: From Imperial Capital to Olympic City'', pg. 166〕 () until the end of the war. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Provisional Government of the Republic of China (1937–40)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
