Can you help me better paraphrase these sentences? Here are my somewhat-paraphrases, but they are still similar to the original source (the part not in parenthesis is the portion that needs to be better paraphrased):
(This was because) Japan had a secret agreement with Britain, France, and Italy for their support of Japan receiving rights over Shandong.
(There was no central government, but rather many power struggles that caused) destructive wars throughout northern China, and numerous bandit gangs that disrupted daily life.
Thanks in advance!

Ms. Sue: help please?
To help you with paraphrasing, you need to provide the original (in quotation marks) as well as your attempts so far. Without that original wording, there's no way anyone can help you.
