How were Asians treated during world war 1?

During World War I, Asians faced a mix of experiences depending on their country of origin and location. In colonial contexts, such as India and Southeast Asia, many were recruited as laborers or soldiers for the British and French armies, contributing significantly to the war effort. However, in other areas, especially in Europe and North America, Asians often faced discrimination and xenophobia, exacerbated by wartime nationalism and tensions. Overall, their contributions were often overshadowed by societal prejudices and colonial attitudes.
