The decline of British power in Asia, from a high point in 1905,
when Britain's ally Japan vanquished the Russian Empire, apparently
reducing the perceived threat that Russia posed to its influence 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.
