15 jul 1926 año - Germany Intervenes in China

Descripción:

The previous year, Germany had contacted Wu Peifu with the intention of directly intervening on the Zhili side of the war, and direct action by the Japanese had done little to ward off the Kaiserreich – if anything hawks managed to sway the Chancellery of von Tirpitz that if they did not act quickly, China would fall into the hands of either the agents of France or Japan. With the fracture of the British Empire, the poor state of Russia, and isolationism of the Americans, military strategists were not particularly concerned by most of their geo-political enemies in Europe and East Asia. Ultimately, the German imperial cabinet decided that the cost of inaction would be too high (and the potential benefits too high to pass on) and Germany began to prepare for action in the Far East. Direct German involvement formally began on July 15.
