Meaning of Kiaochow | Babel Free

Examples

“Some contemporaries in China state that the bay and the small city of Kiaochow were too quiet and unattractive for the officers and men of the Russian squadron, who preferred the brighter social life of other ports.”

“Competition for pieces of China had unsettled the established relationships in the Far East. Germany’s grab of the region of Kiaochow and subsequent control of Shantung province, Britain’s occupation of Weihai, the Russian fortification of Port Arthur, and the growing strength of Japan, resulting from that nation’s victory over China in 1894, perhaps meant that a dismemberment of the great prize was beginning, and none could afford to be left out.”

“In 1897, the Germans occupied Kiaochow (Jiazhou Bay 膠州灣) in Qingdao, and finally had their port.”
