The decline of British power in Asia, from a high point in 1905,
when Britain s ally Japan had vanquished the Russian Empire,
apparently reducing the perceived threat that Russia posed to
British interests in India and China, to the end of the twentieth
century, when British power had dwindled to virtually nothing, is
one of the most important themes in understanding the modern
history of East and Southeast Asia. This book considers a range of
issues that illustrate the significance and influence of the
British Empire in Asia and the nature of Britain s imperial
decline. Subjects covered include the challenges posed by Germany
and Japan during the First World War, British efforts at
international co-operation in the interwar period, the British
relationship with Korea and Japan in the wake of the Second World
War, and the complicated path of decolonisation in Southeast Asia
and Hong Kong."
