Excerpt from The Problem of the Pacific
This book is not an ordered history of the Pacific. Its main object is to show how four Powers during a century have been reaching towards a mastery of half the world - the Pacific Ocean covers a whole hemisphere - and only as the main facts of this mastery are kept in mind will a Peace Conference be able to do justice to the interests now dominant. Critics, however, may fairly urge that a better plan could have been made, and a more satisfactory result produced, from the mass of information actually in my possession. But the book has been written in the midst of other work, with the strain of a journalist's life never relaxed; and while leisure would have enabled me to rearrange and rewrite many of the chapters, I have been obliged to offer what has been done as it stands.
It may be contended, perhaps, that "The New Pacific" has already covered most of the ground, and that otherwise some of the questions raised are premature. But the former book touches only a small part of the Pacific, and leaves Japan entirely outside its discussion of prominent problems.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of power in the Pacific Ocean, focusing on the century between 1814 and 1914. The author examines the competing claims and ambitions of four key empires: Great Britain, the United States, Japan, and Germany, all vying for influence in this vast and strategically important region. The author delves into the impact of significant events, such as the Monroe Doctrine, the opening of the Suez and Panama canals, and the rise of Japan as a major power, on the political landscape of the Pacific. Through detailed analysis of key historical moments, the author reveals how European powers sought to establish dominance over the Pacific islands, often at the expense of native populations. The book also examines the competing visions of empire between the powers, with Britain and the United States advocating for a more liberal form of control, while Germany pursued a more aggressive path. The author ultimately argues that the Pacific Ocean has long been a crucible for international relations, where the tensions and ambitions of the world's leading powers have clashed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
