Two hundred years after Singapore's foundation by Stamford Raffles
in 1819, this book reflects on the historical development of the
city, putting forward much new research and new thinking. It
discusses Singapore's emergence as a regional economic hub,
explores its strategic importance and considers its place in the
development of the British Empire. Subjects covered include the
city's initial role as a strategic centre to limit the resurgence
of Dutch power in Southeast Asia after the Napoleonic Wars, the
impact of the Japanese occupation, and the reasons for Singapore's
exit from the Malaysian Federation in 1965. The book concludes by
examining how Singapore's history is commemorated at present,
reinforcing the image of the city as prosperous, peaceful and
forward looking, and draws out the lessons which history can
provide concerning the city's likely future development.
