China was in political Turmoil after collapse of Qing Dynasty in 1912
Two year later happen WW1
Main China Army had, let me say polite "medieval" level of equipment.
Their modern Army were simply 7000 men with old rifle, no cars, no battle ships or aircraft.
and it leader Yuan Shikai try to reestablish new dynasty in 1915...
the relations to Entente was extrem bad
Britain was hated by Chinese do Opiums Wars
while rest of Entente was hated do they were part of the Eight-Nation Alliance that invaded China during the boxer rebellion.
here Germany, France, Italy, Britain defeated China and gain Territory.
This period was the Chinese call: the Century of disgrace.
