Document Summary
The emerging nationalities were to be given independence in the future, but until then colonialism would be reinforced. China was divided by competing factions of warlords and spheres of influence from the west. The march 1st movement in korea was a nationwide reaction to the treaty of versailles that saw violence and the creation of a korean declaration of independence. After subduing the movement, the japanese instituted the culture policy/ system in korea, which contained milder policies. The may fourth movement in china began as a student-led protest movement that led to the longer new culture movement. The movement sought to embrace modern ideas as to abandon. Many of the new culture intellectuals traveled abroad to study foreign ideas as a means of embracing modernity. Beijing had lost political and military influence, while shanghai had emerged as the first modern capitalist city in the country. Australia, brought their ideas to china, especially shanghai.
