The British Empire was the largest in the world. It ruled over vast regions in North America (Canada), the Caribbean, the entire landmass of Australia, and much of South Asia and Africa. The British Empire's population in 1914 stood at 412 million people, but over 80% of those people were actually Indian—and in India. Another 36 million subjects lived in other British colonies. There were only 44 million British citizens in its own massive empire.

120,000 laborers from neutral China. Although never officially turned into a colony, China was still a victim of imperialism. European countries (including Britain and France), and the United States, had an "Open Door Policy" where they did not have to follow China's rules and could dominate trade. Much of these laborers provided support to English and French soldiers, two nations who were allies. Does that really make China neutral? By late 1917, China will declare war against the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary)
