    China did not participate in World War I.

    The First World War was fought in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the capitalist countries moved towards their ultimate stage, imperialism.

    The transition arose a wide range of irreconcilable contradictions, Asia, Africa, Latin America.

    The colonies and semi-colonies of Oceania were largely divided among the great powers.

    Against the backdrop of intensifying contradictions between the old and new colonialism, unbalanced economic development of various imperialists and unequal division of order, a world-class imperialist war broke out to re-divide the world and compete for global hegemony.

    The course of the war was mainly a battle between the Central and Entente powers. German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire.

    The Kingdom of Bulgaria is part of the Allied Powers, the British Empire, the French Third Republic, the Russian Empire, and the United States of America.

    World War I, in which China participated.

    On August 14, 1918, China officially declared war on Germany and Austria, and at this time, the First World War was nearing its end. Such as slow.

    The immediate goal of China's entry into the war was to take advantage of the post-war participation in the peace conference to seek back the sovereignty of Shandong that Japan had seized from Germany. To this end, China sent large quantities of food and guns to the Allied countries, and nearly 200,000 Chinese laborers went to Europe and the Middle East to serve the Allied countries, and thousands of people lost their lives as a result.

    The Xinhai Revolution that broke out in 1911 overthrew the feudal monarchy for more than 2,000 years and established a new republican form of government. Having experienced the two Opium Wars, the invasion of the Eight-Power Alliance, and especially the humiliation and defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese are eager to learn from the West in order to achieve national self-improvement and national rejuvenation.

    At the same time, the outbreak of World War I led to great changes in the international system, providing impetus and opportunities for China to adjust its relations with Western countries and join the international community. Liang Qichao believes that if China can properly use the international situation, it will be able to accomplish its goal of creating a "fully qualified nation-state." The leaders of the New Culture Movement, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and others, also actively called for China to enter the war.

    Judging from the external situation, the outbreak of World War I has brought new dangers to China. It was Japan's established policy to annex China, but the 1895 "Three Powers Intervention and Liaoning" incident made Japan realize that the Western powers would not sit idly by and watch Japan annex China alone, so they reined in their aggression against China for a time. However, the outbreak of World War I focused the attention of the imperialist powers on the European continent, and Japan was able to run rampant in East Asia.

    After the Japanese occupation of Shandong at the end of 1914, China's desire to enter the war became even stronger, because only by participating in the post-war peace conference as a victorious power could there be a glimmer of hope of regaining Shandong's sovereignty.

    Another motive for China to enter the war was to gain economic benefits. Britain has stated that if China takes any action that is detrimental to Germany's interests, it will consider China's request for a moratorium on the payment of Gengzi reparations and ensure that other financial assistance is given.

    In short, the advantages of China's choice to enter the war at that time outweighed the disadvantages. It can be said that the desire to get closer to the West and integrate into the international community by participating in the war is a manifestation of the Chinese exploring the Western road after the Sino-Japanese War and the Xinhai Revolution.
