| The '''Twenty-One Demands''' ({{lang-ja|対華21ヶ条要求|Taika Nijūikkajō Yōkyū}}; {{zh|t=二十一條/廿一條|s=二十一条/廿一条 |p=Èrshíyī tiáo}}) was a set of demands made during the [[World War I|First World War]] by the [[Japanese Empire]] under [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]] [[Ōkuma Shigenobu]] to the [[Government of the Chinese Republic|government]] of the [[Republic of China (1912–49)|Republic of China]] on 18 January 1915. The secret demands would greatly extend Japanese control of China. Japan would keep the former German areas it had conquered at the start of World War I in 1914. Japan would be strong in [[History of Manchuria#Russian and Japanese encroachment|Manchuria]] and [[South Mongolia]]. And, Japan would have an expanded role in railways. The most extreme demands (in section 5) would give Japan a decisive voice in finance, policing, and government affairs. The last part would make China in effect a [[protectorate]] of Japan, and thereby reduce Western influence. | The '''Twenty-One Demands''' ({{lang-ja|対華21ヶ条要求|Taika Nijūikkajō Yōkyū}}; {{zh|t=二十一條/廿一條|s=二十一条/廿一条 |p=Èrshíyī tiáo}}) was a set of demands made during the [[World War I|First World War]] by the [[Empire of Japan]] under [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]] [[Ōkuma Shigenobu]] to the [[Government of the Chinese Republic|government]] of the [[Republic of China (1912–49)|Republic of China]] on 18 January 1915.

| Japan was in a strong position, as the Western powers were in a stalemate world war with Germany. Britain and Japan had [[Anglo-Japanese Alliance|a military alliance since 1902]], and in 1914 London had asked Tokyo to enter the war. Beijing published the secret demands and appealed to Washington and London. They were sympathetic and forced Tokyo to drop section 5 in the final 1916 settlement. Japan gained a little in China, but lost a great deal of prestige and trust in Britain and the U.S.<ref>Arthur S.
