Abstract: British attitude towards the Shantung Question in the Washington Conference was different from that in the Paris Peace Conference, in which Britain played the role of Japan's accomplice in the settlement of the Shantung issue.Britain asked Japan to hand over the leased territory of Kiaochow and the Kiaochow-Tsinan railway to China, withdraw Japanese troops and police from the railway, internationalize the leased territory of Kiaochow, agree to redeem the railway with the gevernment bond.But she asked China to make a concession to Japan about the staff appointments of the railway.
