The Fall Of Tsingtau PDF Download

Excerpt from The Fall of Tsingtau: With a Study of Japan's Ambitions in China One of the most remarkable changes to be wrought in Christendom by the greatest of wars will be found, not in Europe or in Europe's dependencies, but in the Far East. The destiny of as many Chinese as there are white human beings in all Europe may be determined by the event of August, 1914. In the following pages I have attempted to record, as a disinterested observer, just what happened in the Orient from the time Europe took up arms and Japan, as to the policy she was to play, was left alone in Asia. That Japan's part in the seizure of the German protectorate of Kiaochow was essentially a blind move in the making over of the Celestial Kingdom into a dependency of Japan, cannot be doubted by any one who follows closely the moves of the Tokyo Government from the opening of the European war until China, after much harassing, acceded to the demands of Japan in May.
