Asien- und Pazifikkrieg

A Japanese lithograph, (probably showing the Japanese fighting German troops during the conquest of the German colony Tsingtao (today Qingdao) in China between 13 September and 7 November 1914.- wrong statement) Original caption: "The Japanese army defeated the German-Austrian Army near Usri [i.e. Ussuri], Siberia." Note: The prints of this series relate to the Siberian Intervention from 1918-1922. (However, at that time there were no German or Austro-Hungarian troops anywhere in Asia. The Austro-Hungarian troops may refer to the sailors provided by the Austro-Hungarian armoured cruiser SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth for the defence of Tsingtao in 1914. - wrong statement) In fact German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers, former POWs from Russian POW-camps made bulk of the Red Army forces in Siberia in 1918. Soviet historiography called them "the internationalists".
