In the hearts of Qingdao people, they vaguely feel that Qingdao has something to do with the Germans, but it has not been clear, in fact, Qingdao was almost occupied by the Germans. It was at the end of the 19th century that the Germans landed in Qingdao and regarded It as the headquarters of the German Navy in the Far East.
The Germans signed a lease treaty, and the 99-year lease right in Qingdao was given to the Germans, who were ecstatic about Qingdao at that time, and soon led the German engineers to carry out a large-scale renovation of Qingdao, including Qingdao's sewers, and almost from that time, Qingdao's architectural complex had been formed. Next, Qingdao fell into the embarrassment of being ruled by Germany and Japan in turn, until 1922.
Now Qingdao, an important port in Shandong, also hosted the sailing competition of the 2008 Olympic Games. However, the history of Qingdao's colonial rule is inseparable from the history of Qingdao. Qingdao's history may seem long, but it was a small fishing village until the arrival of the Germans. Qingdao's construction history really began in Germany.
After the May Fourth Movement, Qingdao was famous, and many patriotic young people came to Qingdao to celebrate the restoration of Qingdao. Now Qingdao has Qingdao University, Ocean University of China and many other famous universities, as well as the famous May Fourth Square, reminiscing about the history of that year.
Now Qingdao, riding on the east wind of national development, is striding forward on the journey of building a world-class port, and the history of being occupied by the Germans has become a trance dream before the Nap of Qingdao people.
