Agreement Regarding the Restoration of the State of Peace between Germany and China (1921)

An agreement was signed in Beijing on May 20, 1921, between the German and the Chinese governments to restore peaceful relations after the First World War. The main reason for the treaty was that the Chinese government had refrained from signing the Treaty of Versailles since it granted the Empire of Japan government control over Chinese territory, the formerly-German concession of Shandong.
