Historically Liáoníng was part of Manchuria and populated by the Manchu ethnic group. At the end of 19th Century, a large amount of immigration form other areas of China to Liáoníng resulted in the Han ethnic group becoming dominant. During first half of the 20th Century, Liáoníng came under Russian and then Japanese influence. It was in Liáoníng that the Mukden Incident occurred that is considered to mark the start of the Japan-China war. Under Japanese control, the region became part of the puppet state of Manchukuo. Post world war II, Liáoníng plaid a significant part in the conflict between the PLA and the Kuomintang.
The Japanese had used Liáoníng as a industrial base. After the war, the Chinese, with Russian support, expanded on this. Liáoníng became famous for it's heavy industry. Today, these industries are still very important to the region, for example the iron and steel production in Anshan and Benxi as well as ship building in Dalian and aircraft and car manufacturing in Shenyang

History
Liaoning has an ancient history. The area has become famous for its fosils. In 1984, the scull and other bones of Jinniushan Man were found. These date back 280,000 years. The remains of a village dating to 8,000 years ago, called Chahai Village, has been found near Fuxin. This is the oldest neolithic site in China. In 1983 the temple and alter complex of Niuheliang was discovered near Jianping in western Liaoning. This belongs to the Hongshan culture and dates backs over 5,000 years. . In historic recordings Liaoning first rose to prominence when the area became the centre of the Liao Dynasty kingdom (辽朝 Liáo Cháo) or otherwise known as the Khitan (Qidan) Empire (契丹國) which existed from 907 to 1125 AD. The Liao dynasty was taken over by the Jurchen people to form the Jin Dynasty (1115–1234) which covered all of northern china before it's self being overrun by the Mongol empire of the Yuan Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen people became divided into clans or tribes. Liaoning came under the Ming Chinese sphere of control. One of the tribal leaders, Nurhaci (1559-1626), broke form the Ming Empire and, uniting the dispirit Jurchen tribes, founded the Manchu ethnic group and the Later Jin Dynasty that would be known as Manchuria. Liaoning was the cradle form which the Manchu went on to conquer first the Mongols and the Ming China itself to start the Qing Dynasty. The three capitals of the Later Jin, , Liaoyang and Shenyang are within Liaoning. Shenyang maintained special status throughout the Qing Dynasty as a secondary capital complete with it's own Forbidden City.
The early twentieth century saw the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in China. Liaoning became the centre piece in a struggle between China, Russia and Japan. During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, many key battles took place in Liaoning. The 9-18 incident that started the first Sino-Japanese war occurred in 1932 in Shenyang. Liaoning quickly fell into Japanese hands along with much of north east China. The Japanese founded the puppet state of Manchuko which included Liaoning. It was during the Russian and Japanese occupations that the area was first developed for modern industry.
With the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liaoning became a centre of heavy industrial development. Coal, iron, oil and steel are produced here in large quantities. Many cities in the area developed a reputation dirt and pollution. A reutation they are now trying to shake off.
Central Liaoning's wide flat plains made it well suited to modern farming methods so Liaoning was one of the few areas of China where collectivisation works and the province was often cited as an example for the rest of the country to follow. The communist national hero, Lei Feng, hailed from Fushun city in Liaoning.
