In the late 1800s and early 1900s, colonial powers clashed over
much of Central and East Asia: Great Britain and Germany fought
over New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, Fiji, and Samoa; France
and Great Britain competed over control of continental Southwest
Asia; and the United States annexed the Philippines and Hawaii.
Meanwhile, the possible disintegration of China and Japan's growing
nationalism added new dimensions to the rivalries. Surveying these
and other international developments in the Pacific basin during
the three decades preceding World War I, Kees van Dijk traces the
emergence of superpowers during the colonial race and analyzes
their conduct as they struggled for territory. Extensive in scope,
Pacific Strife is a fascinating look at a volatile moment in
history.
