After the Russians relinquished claims to Manchuria in 1906, the Japanese declared it a jointly controlled territory (jointly controlled with China) under the terms of the Russian-Japanese peace treaty. Now though the Qing Chinese Empire wanted its land returned as the threat of attack from Russia had disappeared following the peace treaty. However the Japanese wanted to keep Manchuria as they had uncovered large mineral deposits needed to help the Japanese economy and improve the Japanese metallurgy business. This isn't seen as a good enough reason to give Manchuria to Japan, and Qing China declares war against Japan on March 23rd 1907, in order to protect China's sovereignty and to retake Chinese land, starting the second Sino-Japanese war (however it was still included in the World War

  • After the Russians relinquished claims to Manchuria in 1906, the Japanese declared it a jointly controlled territory (jointly controlled with China) under the terms of the Russian-Japanese peace treaty. Now though the Qing Chinese Empire wanted its land returned as the threat of attack from Russia had disappeared following the peace treaty. However the Japanese wanted to keep Manchuria as they had uncovered large mineral deposits needed to help the Japanese economy and improve the Japanese metallurgy business. This isn't seen as a good enough reason to give Manchuria to Japan, and Qing China declares war against Japan on March 23rd 1907, in order to protect China's sovereignty and to retake Chinese land, starting the second Sino-Japanese war (however it was still included in the World War one, but as the Sino-Japanese campaign and The Chinese Civil War 1908).. The Qing government expect the war to be an easy one at this point in time, due to the Japanese being devastated after the war with Russia. Qing agents are sent into Manchuria, where they start revolts in Manchuria against Japanese rule and the Chinese attacked the Japanese on two fronts, Taiwan and Manchuria. These revolts were stopped eventually with the promises of greater autonomy and the establishment of their own independent Manchu state (basically it would be a protectorate of Japan), Korea is also offered a similar deal in order to contribute more to the war effort, as the Japanese economy was exhausted after the war with Russia. The Chinese invasion of Manchuria was stopped quickly by the Japanese main defences but the Japanese main defences were quite a way from the Manchuria-China border so the Japanese lost a fair amount of land. However after the Chinese were brought to a standstill by the main defensive line of Japanese machine guns, the large Chinese armies were kept at bay. The Chinese invasion of Taiwan was stopped pretty quickly due to the presence of the British fleet, the British then left to join Hong Kong, the British then declared war on China and they attack China from Hong Kong. Needing allies to help stop the massive Chinese army, at the same time as fighting the Russians, the British go to the Portuguese and offer territorial gains to their colony of Macao if they join Britain & Japan in fighting China. The Portuguese agree and send a fleet with around 3000 men, however this was kept secret until the fleet arrived in Macao, which was in December that year, which was when the Portuguese had declared war on China, just before a surprise Portuguese attack begun. Germany also expresses interest in joining the war against China in order to expand the German territories in China. A temporary cease-fire is declared in the later days of December (18th-31st) Peace talks begin between Qing China, Great Britain, Portugal, and Japan; with Germany moderating in the late days of December.
