What important events happened in China during the First World War? Great gods, help!
19 18, World War I ended in a disastrous defeat of the Allies, and China was one of the victors. During the First World War, some national industries in China developed, and the new culture movement rose, and a series of struggles against the reactionary rule of the northern warlords were carried out, which eventually led to the outbreak of the May 4th Movement in 19 19. World War I (1965438+August 2004-1965438+June 2008-65438+October 2008 10) was a world war that mainly occurred in Europe but spread all over the world. At that time, most countries in the world were involved in this war. The course of the war is mainly the war between triple alliance and the Three Allies. Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy are allies, while Britain, France, Russian Empire and Serbia are allies. During the period from 19 14 to 19 18, many countries in Asia, Europe and America joined the Allies. The battlefield is mainly in Europe. It is worth noting that although Italy is an ally, Britain, France and Russia signed a secret treaty with Italy, promising to give Italy some land. So, Italy joined the Allies against the Allies. This war is one of the most destructive wars in European history. About 65 million people took part in the war, about10 million people were killed and about 20 million people were injured. As a result of the First World War, the allied countries led by Germany were defeated, Britain and France weakened, and the status of the United States and Japan rose, thus promoting major changes in the world strategic pattern. This war led to the success of the October socialist revolution in Russia and the birth of the first socialist country in the world, the Soviet Union, and promoted the unprecedented climax of the colonial and semi-colonial national liberation movement. ● Japan sent troops to Japan to join the World War I allies and declared war on Germany in order to gain Germany's rights and interests in Shandong, China, and send troops to occupy Qingdao. As a result, this Japanese action aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of China, which led to the May 4th Movement. China went to war in China. At that time, it was the Beiyang government under Duan's rule In order to gain benefits, Beiyang government invested in the more favorable side-the Allies and declared war on the Allies. China, as a victorious country in the May 4th Movement, was immersed in great joy. Grand celebrations are held frequently, and people call the victory of the allied forces "justice conquers power". In China's view, the long winter in China, which began in the Opium War era, is coming to an end. In this era of "justice triumphs over power", the upcoming Paris Peace Conference will surely give justice to China and cancel all the unequal treaties imposed on China by western powers for more than half a century. However, the Paris Peace Conference soon shattered the dreams of China people. In spite of China's opposition and the "axiom" they once advocated, several big countries sold the rights and interests of China and Shandong to Japan. The news came back to China. 19 19 On May 4th, angry young students took the lead in taking to the streets, and the vigorous May 4th Movement began. On June 3, students went on strike, workers went on strike and businessmen went on strike. Domestic patriotic movements are surging, but in Paris, 19 19, on June 28th, the China delegation finally refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles, which humiliated the country, and China said "no" to the great powers for the first time. Together with the New Culture Movement, it has become a large-scale and far-reaching political, ideological and cultural movement in the history of China, which has had a great impact on China's politics, society, culture and thoughts from modern times to the present. ● Labor in China At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China exported tens of millions of laborers, but few of them went out voluntarily. Most of them were trafficked abroad. The development of Latin America, the construction of the transcontinental railway between the United States and Canada, the excavation of the Panama Canal, the reclamation of Nanyang, the construction of Siberia in Russia, and the mining of gold mines, aluminum mines and coal mines all involved Chinese workers. During the First World War, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers directly participated in the war service or directly participated in the fighting in the battlefields of Britain and France on the western front, Russia on the eastern front and Mesopotamia in western Asia. Chinese workers are all over the world, but most of them suffer after going abroad. Inhumane treatment of Chinese workers, riots and strikes broke out one after another. The terrible persecution of workers in China has also caused just condemnation all over the world.
