Puppet state is a term of political criticism, used to
denigrate a government which is perceived as unduly dependent upon an
outside power. It implies that government's lack of
legitimacy, in the view of those using the term.
The first
puppet states
Nominally independent states influenced by stronger powers have
existed through history, but the advent of modern theories of
state sovereignty makes 19th century Europe a natural starting point
for such a discussion.
19th Century
The first true puppet state in modern European history, in the sense
of a state which claimed popular legitimacy but which was significantly
dependent on an external power, was the
Batavian Republic, established in the Netherlands under French
revolutionary protection.
The first puppet states, in the sense of new states whose creation
was made possible by the intervention of a foreign power, were the
Italian republics created in the late 18th and early 19th centuries with
the assistance and encouragement of
Napoleonic France. See also
French client republics.
In 1836 Americans allowed to live in the Mexican state of Texas
revolted against the Mexican government to establish the American
sponsored
Republic of Texas, a country that existed barely 10 years (from May
14, 1836 to December 29, 1845) before it was annexed to the United
States of America. However, since August 1837, Memucan Hunt, Jr., the
Texan minister to the United States, submitted a first annexation
proposal to the Van Buren administration.
In 1895, Japan detached
Korea
from its tributary relationship with China, giving it formal
independence which was a prelude to Japanese annexation.
In 1896
Britain
established a puppet state in
Zanzibar.
Puppet
states in World War I
Puppet states of Imperial Japan
During
Japan's imperial period, and particularly during the
Pacific War (parts of which are considered the Pacific theatre of
World War II), Japan established a number of states that historians
have come to consider puppet régimes.
Nominally
sovereign states
-
Manchukuo (1932–1945), set up in
Manchuria under the leadership of the last
Chinese Emperor,
Puyi.[1]
-
Mengjiang, set up in
Inner Mongolia on May 12, 1936, as the Mongol Military
Government (蒙古軍政府) was renamed in October 1937 as the Mongol United
Autonomous Government (蒙古聯盟自治政府). On September 1, 1939, the
predominantly
Han Chinese puppet governments of South Chahar Autonomous
Government and North Shanxi Autonomous Government were merged with
the Mongol Autonomous Government, creating the new Mengjiang United
Autonomous Government (蒙疆聯合自治政府). All of these were headed by
De Wang.[2]
-
Dadao government (Shanghai 1937-1940)- A short lived regime
based in Shanghai.
-
Reformed Government of the Republic of China- First regime
established in
Nanjing after the
Battle of Nanjing. Later fused into the Provisional Government
of China.
-
Provisional Government of China December 14, 1937 - March 30,
1940 - Incorporated into the Nanjing Nationalist Government on March
30, 1940.[3]
-
Nanjing Nationalist Government ( March 30, 1940–1945) -
Established in
Nanjing by collaborationists under
Wang Jingwei.[4]
-
East Hebei Autonomous Council- Brief Japanese puppet state in
the mid-1930s.
-
State of Burma (Burma,
1942–1945) - Head of state
Ba Maw.
-
Second Philippine Republic (1943–1945) – Collaborationist
government headed by
José P. Laurel as President.
- The
Provisional Government of Free India (1943–1945), set up in
Singapore in October 1943 by
Subhas Chandra Bose and alleged by the Allies to have been a
puppet state, it was in charge of Indian expatriates and military
personnel in Japanese Southeast Asia. The government was established
with prospective control of Indian territory to fall to the
offensive to India. Of the territory of post-independence India, the
government took charge of Kohima (after it fell to Japanese-INA
offensive), parts of Manipur that fell to both the Japanese 15th
Army as well as to the INA, and the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
-
Empire of Vietnam (March–August 1945) – Emperor
Bảo Đại's regime with
Tran Trong Kim as prime minister after proclaiming independence
from France.
-
Kingdom of Cambodia (Cambodia,
March–August 1945) – King
Norodom Sihanouk's regime with
Son Ngoc Thanh as Prime Minister after proclaiming independence
from France.
-
Kingdom of Laos – King
Sisavang Vong's régime after proclaiming independence from
France.
Other plans
Japan had plans for other puppet states.
The
Provisional Priamurye Government was a Japanese puppet régime that
never got beyond the planning stages.[citation
needed] In addition to the Japanese, the
Germans supported the formation of this state.[citation
needed] In 1943, the plans for a
White Russian state died for good after the
Battle for Stalingrad.
In 1945, as the Second World War drew to a close, Japan planned to
grant puppet independence to the
Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia).
These plans ended when the Japanese surrendered on 15 August 1945.
Puppet states of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy
Several European governments under the domination of
Germany and
Italy
during
World War II have been described as "puppet régimes". The formal
means of control in
occupied Europe varied greatly. These states fall into several
categories.
Existing states in alliance with Germany and Italy
Existing states under German or Italian rule
-
Albania
under Italy (1940–1943) and
Albania under Nazi Germany (1943–1944) - The Kingdom of Albania
was an Italian protectorate and puppet régime. Italy invaded Albania
in 1939 and ended the rule of
King Zog I. Zog was exiled and King
Victor Emmanuel III of Italy added King of Albania to his title.
King Victor Emmanuel and
Shefqet Bej Verlaci, Albanian Prime Minister and Head of State,
controlled the Italian protectorate. Shefqet Bej Verlaci was
replaced as Prime Minister and Head of State by
Mustafa Merlika Kruja on 3 December 1941. The Germans occupied
Albania when Italy quit the war in 1943 and
Ibrahim Bej Biçaku,
Mehdi Bej Frashëri, and
Rexhep Bej Mitrovica became successive Prime Minister under the
Nazis.
-
Vichy France (1942–1944) - The Vichy French régime of
Philippe Pétain had limited autonomy from 1940 to 1942, being
heavily dependent on Germany. The Vichy government controlled many
of France's colonies and the unoccupied part of France and enjoyed
international recognition. In 1942, the Germans occupied the portion
of France administered by the Vichy government and installed a new
leadership, which ended much of the international legitimacy the
government had.
-
Monaco (1943–1945) - In 1943, the Italian army invaded and
occupied Monaco, setting up a fascist administration. Shortly
thereafter, following Mussolini's collapse in Italy, the German army
occupied Monaco and began the deportation of the Jewish population.
Among them was
René Blum, founder of the Ballet de l'Opera, who died in a Nazi
extermination camp.
-
Independent State of Montenegro (1941–1944) - The régime founded
by
Sekule Drljević was an Italian puppet régime from 1941 to 1943
and a German puppet régime from 1943 to 1944. Drljević was the
leader of the Montenegrin Federalists and formed the Provisional
Administrative Committee of Montenegro.
New states formed to reflect national aspirations
Puppet regimes under control of Germany and Italy
The
Italian Social Republic
-
Italian Social Republic (1943–1945, known also as the Republic
of Salò) - General
Pietro Badoglio and King
Victor Emmanuel III withdrew
Italy
from the
Axis Powers and moved the government in southern Italy, already
conquered by the Allies. In response, the Germans occupied northern
Italy and founded the Italian Social Republic (Repubblica Sociale
Italiana or RSI) with Italian dictator
Benito Mussolini as its "Head of State" and "Minister of Foreign
Affairs". While the RSI government had some trappings of an
independent state, it was completely dependent both economically and
politically on Germany. When directed to do so, Mussolini provided
Germany with Italian citizens to work as forced laborers.
Puppet States of Allied forces During and Post WWII
Puppet states of the Soviet Union
As Soviet forces prevailed over the German Army on the Eastern Front
during the Second World War, the Soviet Union supported the creation of
communist governments in Eastern Europe. Specifically, the
People's Republics in
Romania,
Bulgaria,
Hungary,
and Poland
were dominated by the Soviet Union. While all of these
People's Republics did not "officially" take power until after
World War II ended, they all have roots in pro-Communist war-time
governments. For example, Bulgaria's pro-Communist
Fatherland Front seized power in Bulgaria on September 9, 1944. The
Fatherland Front government was Soviet dominated and the direct
predecessor of the
People's Republic of Bulgaria (1946–1990). On the other hand,
keeping with the Bulgarian example, it could be argued that the
People's Republic of Bulgaria under Prime Minister
Georgi Dimitrov (1946–1949) was far from being a Soviet puppet. On
yet another hand, an argument for
co-belligerence status could also be made for these states.
Puppet states of the United Kingdom
The Axis demand for oil and the concern of the Allies that Germany
would look to the oil-rich Middle East for a solution, caused the
invasion of Iraq by the United Kingdom and the invasion of Iran by the
United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Pro-Axis governments in both Iraq
and Iran were removed and replaced with Allied-dominated governments.
-
Kingdom of Iraq (1941–1943) - Iraq was important to the United
Kingdom because of its position on the route to India. Iraq also
could provide strategic oil reserves. But, due to the UK's weakness
early in the war, Iraq backed away from the pre-war
Anglo-Iraqi Alliance. On 1 April 1941, the Hashemite monarchy in
Iraq was over-thrown and there was a
pro-German coup d'état under
Rashid Ali. The Rashid Ali regime began negotiations with the
Axis powers and military aid was quickly sent to Mosul via Vichy
French-controlled Syria. The Germans provided a squadron of twin
engine fighters and a squadron of medium bombers. The Italians
provided a squadron of biplane fighters. In mid-April 1941, a
brigade of the
10th Indian Infantry Division landed at
Basra
(Operation
Sabine). On 30 April, British forces at
RAF Habbaniya were besieged by a numerically superior Iraqi
force. On 2 May, the British launched pre-emptive
airstrikes against the Iraqis and the
Anglo-Iraqi War began. By the end of May, the siege of RAF
Habbaniya was lifted, Falluja was taken, Baghdad was surrounded by
British forces, and the pro-German government of Rashid Ali
collapsed. Rashid Ali and his supporters fled the country. The
Hashemite monarchy (King
Faisal II and Prime Minister
Nuri al-Said) was restored. The UK then forced Iraq to declare
war on the Axis in 1942. Commonwealth forces remained in Iraq until
26 October 1947.
-
Imperial State of Iran (1941–1943) - German workers in Iran
caused the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union to question Iran's
neutrality. In addition, Iran's geographical position was important
to the Allies. So, in August 1941, the
Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran (Operation Countenance) was
launched. In September 1941,
Reza Shah Pahlavi was forced to abdicate his throne and went
into
exile. He was replaced by his son
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was willing to
declare war on the Axis powers. By January 1942, the UK and the
Soviet Union agreed to end their occupation of Iran six months after
the end of the war.
Decolonization and
Cold
War
In some cases, the process of
decolonization has been managed by the decolonizing power to create
a
neo-colony, that is a nominally independent state whose economy and
politics permits continued foreign domination. Neo-colonies are not
normally considered puppet states.
Congo Crisis
Following
Belgian Congo's independence as the
Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville) in 1960, Belgian interests
supported the short-lived breakaway state of
Katanga (1960–1963).
East
Asia during the Cold War
During the 1950–1953
Korean War,
South Korea and the United States alleged that North Korea was a
Soviet puppet state. At the same time,
South Korea was accused of being an American puppet state by
North Korea and its allies. Additionally, in 1951
Dean
Rusk, the
Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, branded the
People's Republic of China a "Slavic Manchukuo", implying that it
was a puppet state of the Soviet Union just as
Manchukuo had been a puppet state of the
Empire of Japan. This position was commonly taken by American
propaganda of the 1950s, despite the fact that the Chinese communist
movement had developed largely independently of the Soviet Union.
Following the victory of the
Viet
Minh in the
First Indochina War, the
1954 Geneva Accords stipulated that Vietnam would be divided for two
years only, until national elections could be held. However, the
Americans along with
Ngo Dinh Diem feared that
Ho Chi Minh and the
Communists would win the election. The
State of Vietnam and the
United States didn't sign the Geneva Accords, citing that it was
impossible to hold free and fair nationwide democratic elections in the
communist North, and this was later expressed by UN observers monitoring
the
partition of Vietnam. As a result, South Vietnam and the U.S. were
not bound by its terms. In 1955 the Vietnamese president
Ngo Dinh Diem, a surrogate supported by the
United States, declared the independence of the
Republic of Vietnam in the southern half of Vietnam. Over time, Diem
grew increasingly uncomfortable with the role of the U.S. in his
country, complaining that they were increasing the conflict with North
Vietnam. Diem's complaints became more vocal as American soldiers,
called "advisors", continued to pour into the country, and some began
calling Diem an uncooperative client and a puppet pulling his own
strings.[11]
After he became seen more as a liability than an asset to America,
Diem was assassinated in 1963 with the complicity of the
CIA and possibly
President Kennedy.[12]
During the
Vietnam War, South Vietnam was allied with the U.S. and other
anti-communist states in Asia and the West, whereas North Vietnam was
allied with
China, and particularly the
Soviet Union, and with other socialist and communist nations. The
Paris Peace Accords were preceded by months of intensive
negotiations over whether the
National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam (Viet
Cong) should be treated as an independent party or as a puppet of
North Vietnam. However, South Vietnam was so heavily dependent on US
military aid that when the aid terminated, the country
collapsed and was
taken over.
South
Africa's Bantustans
During the 1970s and 1980s, four ethnic
bantustans, some of which were extremely
fragmented, were carved out of
South Africa and given nominal
sovereignty. Two (Ciskei
and
Transkei) were for the
Xhosa people; and one each for the
Tswana people (Bophuthatswana)
and for the
Venda people (Venda
Republic).
The principal purpose of these states was to remove the Xhosa, Tswana
and Venda peoples from South African citizenship (and so to provide
grounds for denying them democratic rights). All four were
reincorporated into
South Africa in 1994.
After the Cold War
Republic of Kuwait
The
Republic of Kuwait was a short-lived pro-Ba'athist
Iraq state in the Persian Gulf that only existed three weeks before
it was annexed by Iraq.
Current
Northern Cyprus
Due to
Northern Cyprus' isolation and heavy dependence on Turkish support,
Turkey
has a high level of control over the country's decision-making
processes. This has led to some experts stating that it runs as an
effective puppet state of
Turkey.[13][14][15]
Few political decisions in Northern Cyprus are taken without the
approval of the Turkish National Security council in
Ankara.[16]
South Ossetia
South Ossetia has declared independence but its ability to maintain
independence is solely based on Russian troops deployed on its
territory. As South Ossetia is landlocked between Russia and Georgia,
from which it seceded, it has to rely on Russia for economic and
logistical support, as its entire exports and imports and air and road
traffic is only between Russia. Former President of South Ossetia
Eduard Kokoity claimed he would like
South Ossetia eventually to become a part of the Russian Federation
through reunification with
North Ossetia.[17]
