Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at the history of Catholic missions in the Far East, as well as the history of their French protectors. In the 16th century, the arrival of Catholic missionaries on the shores of Japan, China, and Vietnam was met with violence and resentment by the local populations. However, the missionaries gained traction, and, by the early 19th century, Christianity was deeply rooted in certain provinces of these regions. The author chronicles the evolution of the French protectorate of these missions, a complicated and oft controversial relationship that has existed since France first established diplomatic relations with China and other Far Eastern nations. The efficacy of French protection is discussed, as well as the extent to which the protectorate has served France's interests and those of the Catholic Church. The book presents an objective and thorough exploration of this subject, shedding new light on the intersection of religion, imperialism, and international diplomacy.
