	Jiaozhou Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was in the imperial province of Shandong, situated on the southern coast of the Shandong Peninsula in northern China.
		This fleet was supposed to give German interests emphasis during peace (gunboat diplomacy) and to protect the German trade routes and disturb hostile ones during war (cruiser war concept).
		The "Juye incident" gave the German Kaiser Wilhelm II a pretext to occupy the Bay and even before the Chinese government was informed about the murder, Admiral von Diederichs, commander of the East Asian Squadron, was ordered on November 7 to carry out the occupation; he was the only Military Governor (until 7 March 1898).

	Asia's Nuclear Nightmare: The German Connection
		"A civilian use of the tritium gas produced by the plant," said the German prosecutor who investigated the NTG export, "is not plausible." Earlier this year, Germany charged the former directors of NTG and PTB with violating export laws.
		German officials agreed, but explained in an Economics Ministry memo that Germany was blameless because the shipments "did not touch the national territory of the Federal Republic."
		If German officials had followed up their November 1983 audit of Hempel, which revealed the secret Chinese shipments, they would have found the illegal December shipment and could have arrested Hempel in early 1984.

	SparkNotes: World War I (1914–1919): The War at Sea
		Although the Germans had been developing a fleet of large warships in recent years, they recognized that it was still far inferior to that of Britain.
		Therefore, the East Asia Squadron fled the area and set forth on a two-month journey across the Pacific Ocean to Chile, which had a large German population and would offer a safer base of operations from which Spee could prey upon British shipping routes.
		The squadron was far better equipped than Cradock’s had been, with two modern battle cruisers that were faster and better armed than Spee’s ships.

	General Friedrich von Bernhardi, The Next War
		Austrians have fought shoulder to shoulder with Prussians and Germans of the Empire on a hundred battlefields; Germans are the backbone of the Austrian dominions, the bond of union that holds together the different nationalities of the Empire.
		She has made an arrangement in Asia with Russia by which the spheres of influence of the two parties are delimited, while with France she has come to terms in the clear intention of suppressing Germany under all circumstances, if necessary by force of arms....
		The future of German nationality would be sacrificed, an independent German civilization would not long exist, and the blessings for which German blood has flowed in streams--spiritual and moral liberty, and the profound and lofty aspirations of German thought--would for long ages be lost to mankind.

	Hochseeflotte History
		Although the initial reason for creating this huge fleet was to protect German overseas trade, a lesson learned in several wars against Denmark in the 19th century, the key naval strategy in World War I was focused in one single decisive naval battle between the Hochseeflotte and the Royal Navy.
		Besides the Battle of Jutland the two sides only had a few encounters between their capital ships - the battlecruiser battle at the Doggerbank and the battles of the East Asia squadron at Coronell and the Falklands.
		The few small cruisers operating in the Pacific or Indian Ocean could operate successful for a short time, but due to the lack of resupplies and reinforcements from Germany, it was only a matter of time until they would be hunted and destroyed.

	Matthew G. Kirschenbaum: Big Guns and Toys for Boys
		Craddock had repeatedly requested that the modern armored cruiser Defence join his squadron, a request summarily denied by the British Admiralty; the fast, well-armed Defence would be sent to the theater only after the disaster at Coronel, where her well-trained crew and four 9.2” guns could have trebled Craddock’s long-range capacity against von Spee.
		The British squadron would remain a mess from there on out, and things began to go rapidly downhill: Scharnhorst and Gneisenau pounded Good Hope and Monmouth, which began to turn away to the southwest when it was clear even to Craddock that the situation was beyond hopeless.
		Even had her guns stayed in action longer against the German armored cruisers, she was simply too lightly armored to remain effective in the face of the kind of firepower at von Spee’s disposal.

		The German plan was to disrupt the allied trade with Australia, New Zealand and India.
		This was denied him and instead the Admiralty formed a second cruiser squadron to which Defence was attached, and assigned that new force the southern Atlantic to patrol.
		The German ships were by now almost invisible in the gathering gloom and finally sought to commence the inevitable battle from their tactical advantage.

		The book briefly covers Emden's pre-war career in the German East Asia squadron, then spends about one-third of the text covering the period September-October 1914 when Emden was most active in raiding and concludes with her destruction.
		German naval focus was on short-distance missions in the North Sea and cruisers were designed as short-range units to support the battleship fleet.
		Since German cruisers were designed to shield their own battle-line from enemy light units, they relied on firepower from the German battleships and lacked heavy armament of their own.

		While Germans are normally noted for their efficiency and thoroughness, this was not the case in Jaluit.
		In late July the German naval vessel SMS `Seeadler' arrived, having come to Micronesia to assist in mitigating the effects of an earlier typhoon in the Eastern Carolines (On 19 and 20 April 1905 it had devastated Kosrae, Pingelap, Pohnpei, Mokil and several other atolls).
		True, the German administrators were not used to typhoons and no idea of their impact on the people and islands of Micronesia.

		The forts soon proved necessary: German punitive expeditions against surrounding peasant villages that refused to accept Christ were the direct cause of the Boxer Rebellion, which broke out in Shantung in 1898.
		In 1912 the squadron received a new commander, Rear Admiral Maximilian, Reichsgraf von Spee, a Dane who’d joined the German Navy as a teenager and risen through the ranks.
		The German cruisers also were much smaller than their British counterparts, coming in at 3,800 tons (4,200 for Emden) compared to 4,800 for Newcastle and 5,200 for Yarmouth.

		There has been considerable speculation about the reasons for the internment of some 5,000 German residents including a large number of naturalised and even native born Australian citizens of German extraction during the First World War, as well as subjects of the then Austro&endash;Hungarian empire.
		This paper takes issue with much of the published work on this subject by a number of authors for ignoring the context in which the Commonwealth formulated its policy of internment of enemy aliens.
		It is argued here that Australia was indeed the object of German naval operations by the German East Asia Squadron that was aided and abetted by an intelligence-gathering network organised by the staff of the Imperial German Consulate in Sydney.
