Book excerpt: Imagining an Anglo Ocean examines the U.S. Navy Atlantic Fleet's world tour in 1907-1909 and its role in developing and reinforcing cultural and ideological ties among Anglo nations in the Pacific. Focusing on the official stops and celebrations that occurred along the West Coast of the United States, Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand, this work argues that the Pacific was an integrated region of white contact during the early twentieth century, where racial and cultural identity were transforming outside national boundaries. Thus, I attempt to examine the festivities on a local level to show how the communities hosting the Fleet, especially those on the West Coast and in Hawaii, understood the Pacific within a context that the rest of the nation did not share. Celebration committees sought to encourage such trans-Pacific ties through practices found in all the cities welcoming the Fleet. First, organizers used boosterism to bring international attention to their cities and garner financial benefits from hosting the Fleet. Second, they used or ignored specific minority populations during the celebrations to aid arguments that the Fleet and the Pacific were white. Third, women, children and cultural similarities were emphasized to demonstrate imagined, or the potential for future, relationships among the three countries. Finally, souvenirs were presented to sailors to express thanks for the visit and disseminate information about their communities. I argue that celebrants understood their relationships to each other and their position within the region against the backdrop of Japan's emergence as a world power, as well as increasing immigration from Asian countries to Anglo nations. As organizers framed the festivities around concerns like immigration, boosterism, modernization and Anglo power in the Pacific; Americans, Australians and New Zealanders developed a shared identity embodied in the idea of an Anglo Pacific. Based on news reports, personal accounts, official records, and ephemera from the celebrations I argue that this image served as the basis for the creation of social, economic and military ties between the nations that have lasted to the present day.
Download or read book Triumph in the Pacific The Navy s Struggle Against Japan written by E. B. Potter and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here in a single volume is one of the most authoritative, thoroughly documented accounts of the U.S. Navy’s war against Japan. This is the story of the achievements, defeats, and victories of both the American and the Japanese navies as they met and battled in the greatest naval war of all time. This dramatic narrative brings to life both the glorious and the infamous—the decisive encounters at Midway...Guadalcanal...the Philippine Sea...Leyte Gulf...Iwo Jima...Okinawa...and the other points in the Pacific where history was made from 1941 to 1945. The information for TRIUMPH IN THE PACIFIC was gathered by historians at the Naval Academy at Annapolis under the direction of E. B. Potter, the Academy’s Chairman of Naval History, and Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz who, as Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas, was a principal figure in the conflict. The book is marked by authenticity, conciseness, objectivity, and the accuracy of years of painstaking research and preparation.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal to the President of the United States: For the Retention of the Fleet and for an Adequate Defense in the Pacific Ocean The President, White House, Washington. My dear Mr. President: 1. Referring to the battleship fleet and its schedule to sail from Manila December 1 st for the Atlantic, I have the honor as an American citizen and as a Member of Congress, to respectfully and earnestly urge you to reconsider your decision to withdraw the fleet from the Pacific. I have delayed making this written appeal in the hope that the plans for the fleet's return would be modified before the time came for sailing, basing my hope. on the march of events, the appeal of the Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific Coast, and the judgment, unanimous as far as I have been able to learn, of officers of the Army and Navy, including the members of the Joint Army and Navy Board, whose counsel I felt sure you would seek. 2. We are the one and only great nation in the world to-day that lives without a great standing army. Having no mobile land force ready to protect our coast fortifications from capture by attack from the rear by landing parties, our seacoasts, with their great cities and fabulous aggregates of wealth, are all exposed to raiding expeditions from across the ocean, except when, through the presence of a superior fleet, we hold control of the sea. This applies to both oceans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
