Fried. Krupp’s ‘Chinese Trade’ prior to the First World War, 1895-1914

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The German arms company Fried. Krupp exported weapons and military material to China beginning in the early 1870s. It achieved marked success during the 1880s and 1890s. The Sino-Japanese War (1894/95) represented an important milestone for the company’s ‘Chinese trade’. Because the Chinese government had to pay war reparations to Japan, it did not have the funds for purchasing weapons. As a result, not even the posting of German advisors to China saw particularly positive results. Following the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), an embargo on the import of weapons to China was declared. After the embargo was revoked in 1903, the German manufacturer never again achieved the results it had attained in 1884 and 1894. The Germans were negatively affected by the rise of Japanese influence in China following Japan’s victory in its war with Russia. Additionally, some of China’s plans were not in line with Krupp’s capabilities. The Essen company’s managers, for example, considered entirely unrealistic China’s plan to form thirty-six new divisions equipped with modern weapons, which Krupp would supply, by funding the construction of a huge munitions factory in Central China. Although China remained a major purchaser primarily of Krupp’s guns until the First World War, it was no longer one of its main customers. The outbreak of the First World War marked an end to Krupp’s activities in China and the entire Far East.
