Question

18 multiple choice 1 point what post - world war i event led to a surge of nationalism in china? the chinese civil war the kellogg - briand pact the treaty of versailles the may fourth movement

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles (1919) transferred Germany's colonial rights in Shandong, China to Japan instead of returning them to China, despite China being a victorious Allied power. This betrayal sparked widespread anger in China, directly leading to the May Fourth Movement, a mass nationalist protest movement that surged Chinese nationalism. The other options: the Chinese Civil War was an internal conflict, the Kellogg-Briand Pact focused on renouncing war, and the May Fourth Movement was the result of the Versailles betrayal, not the triggering event.

Answer:

C. The Treaty of Versailles
