    In the late nineteenth century, the Russian Empire has leased the Liaodong Peninsula for a quarter century. The Russians founded Port Arthur and Dalny port, which is now called Dalian. After the Russian-Japanese War, Port Arthur became Japanese part. In 1945, the Soviet troops liberated Northeast China from the Japanese troops, and then the government of China handed over Port Arthur to the Soviet Union for three decades.
