This book examines the history of a military expedition the
Japanese government sent to southern Taiwan in 1874, in the context
of Japan's subordination to Western powers in the unequal treaty
system in East Asia. It argues that events on the ground in Taiwan
show the Japanese government intended to establish colonies in
southern and eastern Taiwan, and justified its colonial intent
based on the argument that a state must spread civilization and
political authority to territories where it claimed sovereignty,
thereby challenging Chinese authority in East Asia and
consolidating its power domestically. The book considers the
history of the Taiwan Expedition in the light of how Japanese
imperialism began: it emerged as part of the process of
consolidating government power after the Meiji Restoration, it
derived from Western imperialism, it developed in a dynamic
relationship with Western imperialism and it increased Japan's
leverage in its competition for influence in East Asia.
