China during WW1 🇨🇳🇹🇼 The Great War In Asia

China in WW1: from serving in the Chinese Labor Corps to fighting during the Siberian intervention and taking a seat at the Treaty of Versailles.

The Chinese Labor corps were a significant part of the war effort for both the western and eastern fronts during WW1. China sent laborers to Britain, France and Russia. China eventually declared war on Germany in 1917.

None of the new leaders and presidents could really consolidate their power in China and a struggle between the different warlords. broke out. At the same time, China was eyeing a more prominent role within the international community and sent 150,000 workers to the Western Front as part of the Chinese Labor Corps.
