China's role in the First World War has been a curiously neglected
topic. This 2005 book is a full-length study of China's involvement
in the conflict from perspectives of international history, using
largely unknown archival materials from China, France, Germany, UK,
and USA. It explains why China wanted to join the war and what were
its contributions to the war effort and the emerging world order in
the postwar period. The book also demonstrates that China's
participation in the First World War was not only a defining moment
in modern Chinese and world history, but also the beginning of
China's long journey toward internationalization. In this
provocative book, Professor Xu adds a new dimension to our
collective memory of the war, its tragedy and its significance, and
restores the China war memory into its rightful place.
