Overview<\/h2>\n

The Chinese Army was a major participant in World War I, fighting alongside Allied forces and making strong contributions to the war effort. On the Allied side, the Chinese Army was one of the largest forces, consisting of more than one million soldiers, providing assistance in some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Chinese forces served both in the field and at times played a vital role in the rear. China’s historical role in WWI is an important reminder of its importance as a global power.<\/p>\n

Early Action<\/h2>\n

Before the outbreak of WWI, China had already experienced its own turmoil. The country was in the midst of a civil war (1911-1912), known as the Chinese Revolution, and was still rebuilding its defense system. Despite this, when WWI broke out, Chinese forces quickly moved to assist the Allied forces in Europe. The Chinese government lent the Allied forces more than $200 million in 1915 to cover the costs of war. <\/p>\n

The Role of the Chinese Army<\/h2>\n

The Chinese Army played a key role in the war effort. In Europe, Chinese forces were primarily used in auxiliary roles, such as building railways, constructing barracks and other personnel barracks, as well as in support and supply roles. On the battlefield, they fought alongside Allied forces, especially in Italy where they fought in the celebrated Battle of Vittorio Veneto. On the Eastern front, Chinese forces served in the Siberian expedition against the Bolshevik forces. <\/p>\n

Destruction and rebuilding<\/h2>\n

The Chinese Army suffered huge losses during WWI, with an estimated 416,000 soldiers dead and wounded, as well as an estimated 150,000 civilian casualties. But despite the huge losses, the Chinese Army quickly regrouped and was strengthened with the support of the Allied forces. The Chinese Army was able to repair its damaged equipment, recruit more soldiers and re-supply itself with ammunition and supplies. <\/p>\n
