Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of the Pacific
The author of The Problem of the Pacific, a real son of the great ocean, has in this volume so thoroughly sifted what has been written in recent years on the political aspects of it that the present writer would have declined from paucity, of knowledge to respond to the request to write a foreword to this very useful book had it not been that he has spent twenty-eight years of his life in the Pacific, and couse quently is deeply interested in that part of the world, where he has many thousands of friends of different races to whose welfare he can never be indifferent.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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.
