Pacific Strife by Cornelis Dijk PDF Summary

Book Description: This exhaustive volume covers three decades during which Central and East Asia became interwoven as one theatre where colonial powers engaged in the strategic game contemplating moves and countermoves. Great Britain and Germany quarreled over New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, Fiji and Samoa. France and Great Britain competed over control of continental Southeast Asia. The US became entangled in the dispute over Samoa and annexed the Philippines and Hawaii while Japan became a power in its own right. By 1900, a possible disintegration of China and the efforts of the added a new dimension to the rivalries. the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 allowed Japan to take possession of South Manchuria and Korea and added to the suspicion that Japan was aiming at naval supremacy in the Pacific. Japan's growing military might also have prompted a naval race with the US. As the decades passed, the specter of a major global conflict began to dominate the international scene in the region.
