Siege of Tsingtao (1914)

On the Chinese Revolution map as “Tsingtao taken”

7 Nov 1914 — Having entered the World War on the Allied side, Japan seizes Germany’s colony in Shandong and intends to keep it. Versailles confirms the transfer in 1919. It is the fate of this port, rather than a battlefield, that brings Chinese students into the streets.
