Editing The World Wars (section)

====Pacific====
Easily the quietest theater of the war. Mostly just Japan taking over Germany's scattered Pacific colonies. There were a few minor naval engagements between the German Far East Squadron and the Royal Navy and some attacks by German commerce raiders, but overall it was pretty sparse compared to what would happen in the sequel. The biggest consequence was that the Chinese had joined the Allied Powers, hoping to show solidarity with them and get some of their land back from at least one of the imperial powers that had been carving them up like Peking duck for the last century, so they were understandably pissed when Japan was awarded those German territories instead. Japan was also given a bunch of other German island colonies scattered across the western Pacific, which put them a lot closer to Britain and America's colonial holdings and caused all three powers to start side-eyeing each other.
