Abstract
Germany attempted to define its sphere of influence in East Asia with the occupation of the area around Jiaozhou Bay and the establishment of Qingdao city from 1897-1914. The leasehold, ceded by the Qing government for a period of 99 years, was under the sole control of the German Navy. Early Qingdao was highly militarized and subject to rigid control over urban space, an effort that was marked by violence and racial inequality. However, despite the demonstration of firm colonial power, Germany eventually had to accommodate a growing Chinese population and its needs.
