Twenty-one demands

Japanese attempt 18 January 1915 to make China a virtual protectorate if 21 ‘outstanding questions’ were not resolved. China's president Yuan Shikai submitted to the extension of Japanese power in Manchuria, Shandong, the Chang Jiang valley, and the southeast, but refused to appoint Japanese political and financial advisers to his government.

Japan threatened war in issuing the demands as it exploited the favour it had earned with the Allies by its seizure of the German territory of Kiaochow in November 1914 during World War I, and Republican China's debilitation by civil war. The incident aroused nationalist resentment, witnessed in the May 4th Movement 1919, and American concern at Japanese expansionism.
