Although not a major player during the course of the First World
War, Southeast Asia was in fact altered by the war in multiple and
profound ways. Ranging across British Malaya, the Dutch East
Indies, and French Indochina, Heather Streets-Salter reveals how
the war shaped the region's political, economic, and social
development both during 1914-18 and in the war's aftermath. She
shows how the region's strategic location between North America and
India made it a convenient way-station for expatriate Indian
revolutionaries who hoped to smuggle arms and people into India and
thus to overthrow British rule, whilst German consuls and agents
entered into partnerships with both Indian and Vietnamese
revolutionaries to undermine Allied authority and coordinate
anti-British and anti-French operations. World War One in Southeast
Asia offers an entirely new perspective on anti-colonialism and the
Great War, and radically extends our understanding of the conflict
as a truly global phenomenon.
