Karafuto Prefecture
Territory of Japan from 1905 to 1945
Karafuto Prefecture was established by the Empire of Japan in 1907 to govern the island of Sakhalin south of the 50° N parallel. This territory was ceded to the Empire of Japan by the Russian Empire in the 1905 Treaty of Portsmouth, following Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War.
