Interactions and Interferences of Italian and German Nationalist Regimes in Asia during the Interwar Period (1928–1937)
This article presents a comprehensive narration and interpretation of the political relations between nationalist regimes in Asia and Europe during the interwar history from 1928 to 1937. Authoritarian regimes with political affinities and similar autarchic economic strategies created the ground for an unprecedented collaboration among governments situated on the opposite side of the world. China, Italy, Germany had a prolonged political, militar…
China’s Early Industrialization in the Age of the European Colonial Powers
At the end of the nineteenth century, China presented the characteristics of a stationary economy, rich in resources but weakened by a traditional society and a lack of understanding of economic dynamics. The extraordinary fact was that until the eighteenth century, China was equal to, if not more advanced than, Europe in scientific, technological knowledge and manufacturing processes. Scholars in the second half of the twentieth century underlin…
The Italian Military Aviation in Nationalist China
On 7 September 1933, military officers of the Italian Air Force led by Colonel Roberto Lordi departed from Naples to reach China with the task, agreed upon by Italian fascist and Chinese nationalist governments, of building a factory assembling Italian-made aircrafts and training pilots for the Republic of China. The mission was stationed at Nanchang, in today’s Jiangxi province. The initiative was developed in competition with a similar American…
Sino-Italian relations told through the archive’s papers of the Banca Italiana per la Cina (1919–1943)
Archives in financial institutions can often appear detached from reality, less relevant in reporting political facts and the documents mostly reveal redundant financial details. Yet financial institutions hold reliable primary information and their files contain insights of international historical relevance. Through the analysis of documents kept at the historical archive of the the Italian Bank for China (now in Archivio Storico UniCredit) it …
Italian Advisors in Nationalist China
In the 1930s, the fascist government sent high-profile military officers, politicians, and academics to Nationalist China to support the Chiang Kai-shek regime and consolidate relations. In 1937, Alberto de’ Stefani, well known as the minister who restored Italian public finance and achieved a budget surplus in 1924–1925, was personally chosen by Chiang Kai-shek to reform the fiscal and financial administration of the country. When de’ Stefani re…
The Penetration of Italian Fascism in Nationalist China
During the interwar period, the Italian fascist and the Chinese nationalist governments established an unprecedented political and economic collaboration. Delegations of politicians, entrepreneurs and scholars travelled to opposite sides of the world to strengthen that relationship at a time when China greatly needed to structure internal economic reforms and obtain international financial and political support, while Italy was in search of polit…
German Imperialism in China
In 1897, German imperial navy invaded Kiaochow Bay (in Chinese Pīnyīn known as Jiāozhōu). After signing a convention with Chinese imperial government, the territory was leased to imperial Germany for 99 years. German governors provided the territory with modern and efficient infrastructures and the protectorate became the highest expression of German national pride in Asia. However, the authorities also implemented a controversial social system, …
Italian diplomacy in China
In March 1899, about one year before the Boxers’ siege at the diplomatic quarter in Beijing (June 1900), the Kingdom of Italy presented an ultimatum to the imperial government of China, aiming to the occupation of Sān Mén bay (in the Chinese province of Zhèjiāng). The unsuccessful attempt was not considered of significant political relevance at that time. However, diplomats have suggested and subsequently historians have commented that those even…
