The Military History Society of New South Wales Incorporated presents
This lecture reviews the historic and decisive ‘Battle of Khalkhin Gol’, which resulted in the 1939 defeat of the Japanese Sixth Army on the border of Mongolia and Manchukuo. Many historians believe that Japanese strategy to target the Southern countries (including Darwin bombing) arose from its defeat at the Khalkhin Gol by the joint army of the Soviet Union and Mongolia.
