Puppet government

Japanese: 傀儡政権 - かいらいせいけん(英語表記)puppet government
Puppet government

A government that is manipulated by another country. It is established in semi-colonies or occupied countries that are formally independent but in reality have the same status as colonies, in order to camouflage colonial rule, invasion, and occupation. Examples include the "Manchukuo" government that Japan established after its invasion of China, the Mongolian United Autonomous Government, the Nanjing National Government of Wang Jingwei, and the governments established in various parts of Southeast Asia (Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines, etc.) occupied by Japan during the Pacific War. Other examples include the Vichy government of France occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II and the Quivisling government in Norway. After World War II, typical examples include the Bao Dai government established during France's war of aggression to prevent the independence of its former colony Vietnam, and the Ngo Dinh Diem government established by the United States to maintain control over South Vietnam after the Geneva Agreement (1954).

Japanese:

他国の意のままに操られている政権。形式的には独立しているが実質的には植民地同様の地位にある半植民地や占領下にある国家に、植民地支配や侵略、占領をカムフラージュするために樹立される。日本が中国侵略ののちつくりあげた「満州国」政府、蒙古(もうこ)連合自治政府、汪兆銘(おうちょうめい/ワンチャオミン)の南京(ナンキン)国民政府、また、太平洋戦争中に日本が占領した東南アジア各地(ビルマ―現ミャンマー、インドネシア、フィリピンなど)で樹立した政府などがその例である。また、第二次世界大戦中にナチス・ドイツが占領したフランスのビシー政権、ノルウェーでのクビスリング政権などの例もある。第二次世界大戦後では、旧植民地ベトナムの独立を阻止するため、フランスが侵略戦争を行うなかで樹立したバオ・ダイ政権、ジュネーブ協定(1954)以後アメリカが南ベトナムに対する支配を維持するために樹立したゴ・ジン・ジエム政権などがその典型的な例である。
