Summary

[edit]
Description

On August 14 1917 China declared war on Germany ending nearly 4 years of neutrality. China’s major aim was to earn itself a place at the post-war bargaining table and to regain control over the vital Shantung Peninsula and to reassert its strength before Japan, its most important adversary and rival for control in the region.

A telegram was sent from the Secretary of State for the colonies in Britain to the Governor-General of New Zealand informing him of the declaration of war.
