The German-Japanese War was a key, yet often neglected, episode in
the opening phase of the First World War. It had profound
implications for the future, particularly in respect of Japans
acquisition of Germanys Micronesian islands. Japans naval perimeter
was extended and threatened the United States naval strategy of
projecting force westward. The campaign to relieve Germany of
Tsingtau, the port and naval base in China, and its hinterland
posed a grave threat to Chinese independence. The course of the
Second World War in China and the Pacific cannot be explained
without reference to these events. Charles Stephenson's account
makes fascinating reading. The siege of Tsingtau by the Japanese,
with token British participation, forms the core of his story. He
draws on Japanese and German primary sources to describe the
defences, the landings, the course of the siege, and eventual
German surrender. His study will be absorbing reading for anyone
interested in the campaigns of the First World War outside of
Europe, in German colonial expansion and the rise to power of
Japan.
