Enter Japan
Japan entered the war when it desired to secure firm and enduring peace in eastern Asia. They sent an ultimatum to Germany demanding the handover of German leased territory of Jiaozhou (northeastern China) to Japanese authorities without compensation. They also demanded the German navy unconditionally withdraw its warships from Japanese and Chinese waters. When the Germans refused to comply, the Japanese entered the war on the side of the Allies. The only thing they had to gain was neutrality and wanting East Asia not to get involved with Europe's war. It also used Allied support to advance its own imperial interests in China.
Event of Gallipoli
The most extensive military operation outside of Europe in the southwest Asian territory of the Ottoman Empire, which was aligned with the Central powers. Winston Churchill, seeking to break the stalemate on the western front, suggested that an allied strike against the Ottomans would hurt the Germans. British high commanders decided to land a combined force of English, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand soldiers on the beaches of Gallipoli peninsula. Turkish defenders, hidden in the cliffs above, quickly pinned down the Allied troops on the beaches. Trapped between the sea and hills, the Allied soldiers built their version of trench warfare. It claimed 250,000 lives in the stalemate and took nine months of the Allied leaders to admit the campaign was a failure.
