Britains Retreat from Empire in East Asia 190580 The decline of British power - photo 1
Britains Retreat from Empire in East Asia, 190580
The decline of British power in Asia, from a high point in 1905, when Britains ally Japan 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 its influence had dwindled to virtually nothing, is one of the most important themes in understanding the modern history of East and South-East Asia. This book considers a range of issues that illustrate the significance and influence of the British Empire in Asia and the nature of Britains 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 decolonization in South-East Asia and Hong Kong.
Antony Best is an Associate Professor in International History at the London School of Economics, UK.
