      Adrian Shephard Well there was only one battle between German troops and the Japanese.
      Germany had about 1.400 infantry soldiers, a few thousand sailors (incl. sailors of Austria-Hungary) and 100 Chinese police officers for the defense of Tsingtao, thus all in all there were round about 4.000 - 4.700 defenders.
      Of course there was no way to resupply the garrison with ammunition, thus it had to surrender.

    Quite an irony. Japan once fed Russian Bolsheviks(Soviet Communist Party later) during Japan-Russo War. In order to hamper enemy's war efforts. Decade later, they started to battle against the same force they assisted. Reminds me of Winston Churchill's quote: No lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.

  • @linkieloos

    Still hard to believe the IJA fought alongside the other allied powers and against Germany. Most of the countries on both sides also deployed troops during the Boxer Rebellion from 1899 to 1901, Japan was the largest expeditionary force (that would be a great simple history video!).

    1:36 Did they really think Japan was gonna try and send hundreds of thousands of troops all the way from Japan to France? That would be kind of interesting though if Japan had their own section of the Frontline similar to the other nations on the western front. They also could've sent some stuff to the Balkans too. Truly an interesting reality that would be.

    Unfortunately when the Japanese had come to Europe for the Treaty of Versailles they had been brushed aside after having spent millions of dollars in a war effort against the German colonies. They had also been denied a clause in the Treaty that would have stated the Japanese were racially and as a nation equal to the Europeans and Americans. This was a huge act of disrespect and led to the Japanese establishing that respect would be earned through military force.
