Book The Early Diplomatic Relations Between the United States and Japan  1853 1865  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Early Diplomatic Relations Between the United States and Japan 1853 1865 Classic Reprint written by Payson Jackson Treat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Diplomatic Relations Between the United States and Japan, 1853-1865 The invitation to deliver the Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History at the Johns Hopkins Univer sity afforded an opportunity to organize the first part of a more extensive study in which I have been em gaged for a number of years. It is my hope to com plete eventually a survey of the whole'period of Japa nese-american diplomatic relations. The present lec tures take up the story with the beginnings of American intercourse, and continue it through the negotiation' of the Perry and Harris treaties, into the period when, because of the Mikado's refusal to approve of the commercial conventions, the foreign relations of Japan became apparently inextricably involved with the tur bulent domestic politics of that revolutionary era. The narrative ends with the Mikado's sanction of the treaties in 1865, one of the most important of all the events which occurred in the period between the real opening of Japan in 1859 and the war of the restora tion in 1868.

Book The Foreign Relations of China

Download or read book The Foreign Relations of China written by Mingchien Joshua Bau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Relations of China: A History and a Survey The purpose of the new edition of this work is to incorporate the actions of the Washington Conference. In Part I, the sketch of the diplomatic history is brought down to the close of the Conference. In Part II, the policies of France, Great Britain and the United States, have been retouched in the light of the actions of the Conference. In Part III, which deals with the policy of Japan, all the chapters have been more or less retouched. The chapter on The Twenty-one Demands as an Illustra tion of Japan's Policies in China has been eliminated, for in view of the Shantung Settlement, the three conces sions made by Japan relating to the Treaties of May 25, 1915, the Nine Power Treaty, the contention of the chapter holds true no longer. In its place, a new chapter has been added entitled The Change of Japan's Policy After the Washington Conference.

Book Institute of International Education  Vol  11

Download or read book Institute of International Education Vol 11 written by Walter B. Pitkin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Institute of International Education, Vol. 11: International Relations Clubs; The Political and Economic Expansion of Japan The following chronological outline has been drawn for the express purpose of delineating, in its simplest form, the course of Japan's political, economic and military expansion from the earliest times to date. The temptation has been to include many detailed statistics on trade and military budgets and treaty terms, but all these have been reduced to the barest series of hints. The student is expected to turn back to the various statistical sources here mentioned, in order to fill in for himself the continuity of Japan's remarkable development. He should also study the chronology with a map and mark it with the appropriate dates of each major development in territorial acquisition, railway building, and trade concession. Only thus can a clear picture of the whole evolution be gained. Unfortunately, no book has ever been written on the precise correlation between military and economic expansion in the Far East. Certain phases of this, to be sure, have been dealt with in the various works alluded to in the following bibliography. But he who seeks a full understanding of the manner in which business and empire have gone hand in hand in Japan must piece together the story for himself, using trade reports in conjunction with the diplomatic and political records. Needless to say, such a task is by no means easy. But it should be done, in rough outline at least. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Relations of China, Vol. 3: The Policy of Japan in China; A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Actuated by this high resolve, she bent all her energy on the day when she would come to grapple with the new menace. Working day and night in preparation for the coming crisis, Japan abandoned her old hostility toward China and espoused the Open Door policy. Responding readily to Secretary Hay's circular note of 1899, she gave her assent to so just and fair a proposal of the United States, provided that all the other Powers concerned shall accept the same. 13 During the Boxer Uprising, her soldiers exemplified both courage and orderly conduct, and in the negotiation for settlement, she sided, mainly, with Great Britain and the United States. As against the Russian Convention in regard to Manchuria, and the Seven Articles, joining Great Britain and the United States, she entered repeated protests. During the nego tiations attending the conclusion or the anglo-japanese Alliance Count Hayashi, in response to Lord Lansdowne's inquiry as to Japan's policy in China, replied: As I have before stated, we entirely agreed with the British policy in Eastern countries. That is to say, we wish to maintain the territorial integrity of China and the princi ple of equal opportunity. 1 And when the Alliance was concluded, the preamble read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Push Toward Japan: Russo-Japanese Relations, 1697-1875 World War. As late as June, - Only two months before Russia plunged into the Far Eastern holocaust - a former prime minister of Japan and one-time ambassador to Moscow told the Soviet ambassa dor that if the Soviet Army and the Japanese Navy were to join forces, Japan and the Soviet Union together would become the strongest powers in the world. The Japanese attitude toward Russia today cannot be understood solely in terms of political and economic ideology. It has been shaped by centuries of intercourse between Russians and Japanese, dating back to l 697, the year of the first recorded encounter of a Japanese cast away and a Russian explorer. What were some of the lasting first impressions made by the Japanese and the Russians on each other? What was the nature of Russian pressure on Japan? Did a flourishing trade with Russia materialize after the opening of Japan or were Russian pleas for trade merely a cloak for more sinister designs? By whom was Russian policy toward Japan determined and how con sistent was this policy over the years? Questions such as these sug gested the need for a detailed narrative of early russo-japanese relations prior to a survey of dealings in the modern period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Year Book: Complete Cyclopaedia of General Information and Statistics on Japan and Japanese Territories for the Year 1929 Learning was encouraged by the shogunate. Chiefly to check the war like, propensity of the daimyos. Indirectly it fostered historical and literary research by our scholars and it is inter esting to note _these researches brought home to their mind the abnormal state into which the executive power of the coun try had fallen and especially to the encroachment of the military classes on the sovereignty of the Court. Meanwhile the extra vagance of the successive shoguns highly impaired their credit. While the arrival of foreign missions one after the other in quick succession in the early 19th century. Demanding the con elusion of treaties of commerce further tended to reveal their internal decay. Chiefly to gain time, the shogunate applied to the Court for permission to open the country and thus involun tarily placed itself under the direction 'of the legitimate rulers. The Court then ordered the expulsion of the foreign missions. It was a highly irresponsible decision, but the Court had been long estranged from active politics and was moreover inclined to obstruct and annoy the shogunate out of spite. It was in such peculiar circumstances that the sentiment of loyalty to the legitimate rulers became strangely associated with the anti foreign policy, and gave rise to the sonno-joi (loyalty to the Court and expulsion of the foreigners) agitation, the slogan that swept over the whole country at that 'time. But the foreign missions would no longer accept delay, so that the senior coun seilor of the shogunate of the day. Ii-kamon-no-kami, signed tentative treaties in 1858. And 'for the resolute step he took he was assassinated by.a band of the sonno-joi upholders. The bigoted and dangerous cause was considered sacred by the gen eral public. And even some powerful daimyos. As Choshu and Satsuma. Who had a spite against the Tokugawa from one cause or another. Tried to carry out the joi order to the letter. And at slight provocation or none at all killed or injured foreigners or fired upon foreign warships. The Government was in utter dismay, for the foreign representatives made on every such occasion a strong demand for reparation. These repeated troubles were too great for the impotent shogunate to settle, and at last the shogun Keiki. The last of the illustrious line, sur rendered the vicarious power of ruling the country. For he was enlightened enough to perceive the trend of the times. And thus the Imperial Court recovered its full prerogative which had been kept in abeyance for about ten centuries. This memorable event was not consummated without some bloodshed. Through an armed struggle, fortunately of short duration. Between a section of the misguided partisans of the Tokugawa and the imperial adherents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Truth about China and Japan  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Truth about China and Japan Classic Reprint written by Putnam Weale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About China and Japan The present volume has been written primarily to allow the ordinary reader to see at a glance what the position really is today in Eastern Asia, and to explain precisely why there should be conflict between China and Japan. The essential point - which the writer first insisted upon at great length in The Fight for the Republic in China - is that a dual policy, one policy for the East for the West; that she uses military power and secret loans to advance the first, and diplomacy and publicity the second and that this intricate matter can be understood only by exploring the history of the remote past and linking it up with what is taking place to-day. The fact that the Imperial Conference, which has just concluded its labours, failed to reach any unanimous conclusions on the subject of Japan gives additional point to the arguments which follow, and demands that the important group of documents in the Appendix - particularly the anglo-japanese Treaty - be studied in the light of this new development.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The A B C's of the Twenty-One Demands The purpose of this discussion of the. Twenty-one De mands by Japan upon China in 1915 is to visualize to the Americans the exact meaning of this curious phase of Oriental diplomacy in its relationship to the traditional American policy of the Open Door of Equal Opportunity ln the Far East. We have tried seriously by paraphrasing the Demands to show what they would have meant had they been applied to the United States instead of the Republic of China. Since the chief purposes back of the Conference on Limitation of Armament and Pacific Far Eastern Problems are in the re-establishment of the-doctrine of the open door and to obtain international recognition of the principle of the integrity of China, we hope that this booklet may be of interest in a true understanding of the subject. Other books in this series pertaining to the Conference which have recently been published are, The Shantung Case at the and America's Position on the Shantung Question.
