How did Japan gain territory and control of areas of China during WW1?

History

Answer:

Japan participated in World War I from 1914 to 1918 in an alliance with Entente Powers and played an important role in securing the sea lanes in the West Pacific and Indian Oceans against the Imperial German Navy as a member of the Allies. Politically, the Japanese Empire seized the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence in China, and to gain recognition as a great power in postwar geopolitics.

Japan's military, taking advantage of the great distances and Imperial Germany's preoccupation with the war in Europe, seized German possessions in the Pacific and East Asia, but there was no large-scale mobilization of the economy.[1] Foreign Minister Katō Takaaki and Prime Minister Ōkuma Shigenobu wanted to use the opportunity to expand Japanese influence in China. They enlisted Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), then in exile in Japan, but they had little success.[2] The Imperial Japanese Navy, a nearly autonomous bureaucratic institution, made its own decision to undertake expansion in the Pacific. It captured Germany's Micronesian territories north of the equator, and ruled the islands until they were transitioned to civilian control in 1921. The operation gave the Navy a rationale for enlarging its budget to double the Army budget and expanding the fleet. The Navy thus gained significant political influence over national and international affairs.[3]

Which colonists wanted to fight the British for American independence? a. Loyalists c. Separatists b. Patriots d. Nationalists​
katen-ka-za [31]

The correct answer is B) Patriots.

The colonists who wanted to fight the British for American independence were Patriots.

In opposition to Loyalists who supported the presence of the British monarchy and the English government in the colonies, Patriots were American colonists that wanted independence from the British king.

Patriots were tired of the many injustices and heavy taxation imposed by the English government, as was the case of teh Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and many others.

Patriots were also furious that they had to pay taxes but had no voice or representation in the British Parliament. Indeed, all these were major causes for the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence.
