Asia Pacific 104 years ago today: Japan's Twenty-One Demands (18 Jan 1915) https://buff.ly/2Rzw1CH Early in World War I, Japan seized the German Kiautschou Bay concession in eastern China. The next year they presented a set of 21 demands to the Chinese government to accept expanded Japanese influence in China. In the end President Yuan Shikai agreed to 13 of the demands, but Japan’s actions had created resentment in China and suspicion in Britain and the United States. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1910s #1915 #japaneseempire #empireofjapan #chinesehistory #21demands #january #january18 #germanempire #japanesehistory #marshallis #worldwari #maps #greatwar #worldwar1 #firstworldwar #ww1 #wwi #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historygeek #asianhistory #worldhistory #historybuff #historynerd (at Qingdao, Shandong) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxJHLsAEeh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=94kelwh7i3pp
