Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. First published in 1987, The Writing on the Wall tells the story of the muddle, shortsightedness and duplicity which characterised Britains dealings with her Pacific Dominions. It describes the reactions of each Dominion and chronicles the desultory responses of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to the developing crises in the North Pacific. The result is an important contribution to the history of all four continents. As the 1930s opened, the British Empire was everywhere recognised as a Great Power. Its rule extended over one-fifth of the earths land surface; it encompassed the largest population of any State in the world; it controlled one-sixth of the worlds trade. In truth, the Empire was tragically fragile. Both Britain and the Dominions had disarmed to the point of impotence, so that when Japan occupied Manchuria in 1931 and attacked Shanghai, the centre of British trade in China, in the following year, they were unable to respond. British defence chiefs declared Japans success to be the writing on the wall. Despite these warnings, British politicians chose to appease the Japanese at the cost of seriously damaging the League of Nations, and to avoid spending money on defence in the Far East. Despite the concerns of the DominionsAustralia, New Zealand, and Canadathe scene was set for the total collapse of Britains Empire in the East within a decade. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of history. First published in 1987, The Writing on the Wall tells the story of the muddle, shortsightedness and duplicity which characterised Britains dealings with her Pacific Dominions. It describes reactions of each Dominion and chronicles desultory responses of Canada, Australia and New Zealand to the developing crises in the North Pacific. This item is printed on demand.
