The Far Eastern theatre of the First World War is an often neglected one. And, to be fair, it wasn’t anywhere near so important to the war’s progression as what was going on in Europe or the Middle East. But for two nations in particular, it represented a dramatic shift in power, the likes of which few in the West had ever imagined.
It crushed forever Germany’s hopes of establishing a global naval empire, the likes of which was hoped to rival even the British Royal Navy. And it provided yet further growth to the ascendant imperial power of Japan, which, as a non European power, delivered Germany one of its earliest and most thorough defeats during the Great War.
The Siege of Tsingtao was a small battle of immense importance, and in this video, we’re going to talk about why that was, and of course, how the siege itself actually took place.
