Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Path of Empire The peopling of Siberia will be done otherwise. At present there is an annual surplus in the Russian birth rate Of I, 61 3, 000. The population of Russia doubles In sixty years, so that about the middle of this century there will be more Russians on the earth than at the time of the last census in 1897. There is much Similarity to the Russian plan Of peaceful campaign, in the motives which have prompted the Japanese to build the railway from Fusan to Seoul, and much of the same results that it has effected, may be seen being effected there. The railway lines which are opening up China are no less interesting. I would be the last to advocate a policy of territorial aggression in the East - we want to do business there, not to acquire terri tory, or to have the burden Of government upon us. It is in the direction of Opening up the country to trade that all Our efforts should be concentrated, and the work of our diplomatists ought to be directed more than they are, to furthering our commercial interests. If China were con vinced that the Powers wanted no more territory, she would be the more inclined to open her doors for trade. With regard to the three provinces of China, comprising Manchuria, which Russia has now practically annexed, if it is not now too late, the strongest diplomatic pressure, ought to be brought to bear to insist on this immense and rich territory, the importance Of whose resources we do not fully realise, being thrown Open to the trade of the world. When Russia is being allowed to break her solemn promise to evacuate it, such a condition is the least compensation that might be looked for.

Download or read book The Glory of the Empire written by Jean D'Ormesson and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glory of the Empire is the rich and absorbing history of an extraordinary empire, at one point a rival to Rome. Rulers such as Basil the Great of Onessa, who founded the Empire but whose treacherous ways made him a byword for infamy, and the romantic Alexis the bastard, who dallied in the fleshpots of Egypt, studied Taoism and Buddhism, returned to save the Empire from civil war, and then retired “to learn to die,” come alive in The Glory of the Empire, along with generals, politicians, prophets, scoundrels, and others. Jean d’Ormesson also goes into the daily life of the Empire, its popular customs, and its contribution to the arts and the sciences, which, as he demonstrates, exercised an influence on the world as a whole, from the East to the West, and whose repercussions are still felt today. But it is all fiction, a thought experiment worthy of Jorge Luis Borges, and in the end The Glory of the Empire emerges as a great shimmering mirage, filling us with wonder even as it makes us wonder at the fugitive nature of power and the meaning of history itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Star of Empire: Phases of the Westward Movement in the Old Southwest On December 11, 1750, near the North Mountain, in the vicinity of Hagerstown, Maryland, was born Isaac Shelby, distinguished figure in the history of the Old Southwest - the second son and third child of Evan Shelby and his first wife, Letitia Cox. Endowed with the iron constitution of his father, young Shel-by was reared in a martial atmosphere and early adapted himself to the strenuous life of the pioneer. Upon their removal to King's Meadows, near Bristol, the Shelbys herded and grazed cattle on an extensive scale along the Vir ginia border. At Shelby's Station, the fort built by Evan Shelby, where hundreds were sometimes forted during the Revolution, the Shelbys kept a store; and here Daniel Boone, according to records still preserved, purchased supplies in preparation for his ill - fated expedition in 1773.

Whatever his failings, and he groaned under his fair human share of them, Stuart Ford had the gift of leadership. Be fore he had been a month on the branch as its old man and autocrat, he had won the good-will and loyalty of the rank and file, from the othee men in the headquarters to the pick-and-shovel contingent on the sections. Even the blockade-breaking laborers - tempo rary helpers as they were - stood by him manfully in the sustained battle with the snow. Ford spared them when he could, and they knew it.

Download or read book The Fruits of Empire written by Shana Klein and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fruits of Empire is a history of American expansion through the lens of art and food. In the decades after the Civil War, Americans consumed an unprecedented amount of fruit as it grew more accessible with advancements in refrigeration and transportation technologies. This excitement for fruit manifested in an explosion of fruit imagery within still life paintings, prints, trade cards, and more. Images of fruit labor and consumption by immigrants and people of color also gained visibility, merging alongside the efforts of expansionists to assimilate land and, in some cases, people into the national body. Divided into five chapters on visual images of the grape, orange, watermelon, banana, and pineapple, this book demonstrates how representations of fruit struck the nerve of the nation’s most heated debates over land, race, and citizenship in the age of high imperialism.

Download or read book Black Empire written by George S. Schuyler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work of Afrofuturism and antiracist fiction by the author of Black No More, about a Black scientist who masterminds a worldwide conspiracy to take back the African continent from imperial powers A Penguin Classic “An amazing serial story of Black genius against the world” is how Black Empire was promoted upon its original publication as a serial in The Pittsburgh Courier from 1936 to 1938. It tells the electrifying tale of Dr. Henry Belsidus, a Black scientific genius desperate to free his people from the crushing tyranny of racism. To do so, he concocts a plot to enlist a crew of Black intellectuals to help him take over the world, cultivating a global network to reclaim Africa from imperial powers and punish Europe and America for white supremacy and their crimes against the planet’s Black population. At once a daring, high-stakes science fiction adventure and a strikingly innovative Afrofuturist classic, this controversial and fearlessly political work lays bare the ethical quandaries of exactly how far one should go in the name of justice.
Download or read book Exploration and Empire written by William H. Goetzmann and published by ACLS History E-Book Project. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early mountain men searching for routes through the Rockies to West Point soldier-engineers conducting topographical expeditions, the exploration of the American West mirrored the development of a fledgling nation. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning Exploration and Empire, William H. Goetzmann analyzes the special role the explorer played in shaping the vast region once called "the Great American Desert." According to Goetzmann, the exploration of the West was not a haphazard series of discoveries, but a planned - even programmed - activity in which explorers, often armed with instructions from the federal government, gathered information that would support national goals for the new lands. As national needs and the frontier's image changed, the West itself was rediscovered by successive generations of explorers, a process that in turn helped shape its culture. Nineteenth-century western exploration, Goetzmann writes, can be divided into three stages. The first, beginning with the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804, was marked by the need to collect practical information, such as the locations of the best transportation routes through the wilderness. Then came the era of settlement and investment - the drive to fulfill the Manifest Destiny of a nation beginning to realize what immense riches lay beyond the Mississippi. The final stage involved a search for knowledge of a different kind, as botanists and paleontologists, ethnographers and engineers hunted intensively for scientific information in the "frontier laboratory." This last phase also saw a rethinking of the West's place in the national scheme; it was a time of nascent conservation movements and public policy discussions aboutthe region's future. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Goetzmann offers a masterful overview of the opening of the West, as well as a fascinating study of the nature of exploration and its consequences for civilization.
