Description: "China's role in the First World War has been a curiously neglected topic. This book is the first full-length study of China's involvement in the conflict from perspectives of international history, using largely unknown archival materials from China, France, Germany, the UK, and the USA. It explains why China wanted to join the war and what its contributions were to the war effort and the emerging world order in the postwar period."--Jacket.
