Tsingtao taken
7 Nov 1914 — Japan, entering the World War on the Allied side, seizes Germany’s Shandong colony — and means to keep it. When Versailles confirms the transfer in 1919, it is this port, not any battlefield, that brings Chinese students into the streets.
This is one scene of Chapter 2 — Yuan Shikai’s Republic in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
