Book Lord Salisbury and Nationality in the East

Download or read book Lord Salisbury and Nationality in the East written by Shih-tsung Wang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explains how Salisbury viewed cultural conflicts between the East and the West, how he treated Oriental nationality and nationalist aspirations in British dominions in the East, and how he directed British policy in the Eastern world in a time when the Western Powers were plunging into a struggle for spheres of predominance. In pursuit of British imperial interests, Salisbury was outwardly determined, but acutely aware of the inherent moral conflicts. He understood that the expansion of Europe was inevitable, but, taking into account the rights and feelings of the Eastern nations, he endeavoured to reduce his country’s impact on the peoples subjected to British control. Hence his preference for the generally peaceful invasion effected by informal empire. Following an introductory discussion on Salisbury’s ideas and policy, particularly in the light of his treatment of nationality, this research investigates his record in India, Turkey, Egypt, and China to argue for a strikingly sympathetic attitude in his dealings with Eastern nationalities. While it is a truism to say that British imperialism was coloured by Christian beliefs and liberal principles, it has not yet been appreciated how far Salisbury succeeded in reconciling the moral and practical demands of Western civilization upon itself with the requirements of power.

Book Salisbury

Download or read book Salisbury written by Andrew Roberts and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-04-19 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Salisbury dominated the late Victorian political scene. He was Prime Minister for much of the time and also Foreign Secretary, very often holding down the two positions concurrently. In achievement and ability he was at least the equal of Disraeli and Gladstone though less well remembered. In part that was the result of his own aloof and laodicean temperament but it was also the fault of there being no faintly adequate modern biography (his daughter, Lady Gwendolen Cecil wrote a magnificent biography early in the twentieth-century but although in four volumes it only got as far as 1892). At last, in 1999 with the publication of Andrew Roberts' biography this desideratum was filled. Here was the biography of sufficient stature to do justice to the Victorian Titan. Most aptly it went on to win the Wolfson History Prize and the James Stern Silver Pen Award for Non-Fiction. The uniformly outstanding reviews prove why. 'Andrew Roberts has filled one of the great gaps in Victorian historiography. This is the first authoritative life of the statesman who dominated politics from 1885 to 1902 . . . A brilliant biography that will long replace anything which has appeared before.' Robert Blake, Daily Telegraph 'This is a biography of quite unusual quality and insight, tautly organized yet flowing easily, with years of research behind it to reinforce its authority. While not seeking to diminish either Gladstone or Disraeli, it restores Salisbury to the commanding position he rightfully occupied in Victorian politics.' Peter Clarke, Sunday Times 'An outstanding achievement . . . seldom has such an important study been such splendid entertainment.' Piers Brendon, Independent 'This is a book to put on one's shelf alongside Ehrman's Younger Pitt, Gash's volumes on Peel and Blake's Disraeli . . . Andrew Roberts' book has the balance, insight all-roundedness and intellectual elegance of Lord Salisbury himself.' A. D. Harvey, Salisbury Review '(Salisbury) deserves, and has found, a fine biographer, who has left no stone unturned in his researches, has written cogently and well about his subject, and provided not just a history of Lord Salisbury, but one of the best histories yet of Victorian Britain and her place in the world.' Simon Heffer, Daily Mail ' Salisbury is a great biography, magisterially proportioned and fit to take its place with Gash on Peel and Blake on Disraeli, if not with Morley's Gladstone. Moreover, although constructed on a massive scale, it is so beautifully written that one could not want it a page shorter. It is unlikely ever to be superseded.' Vernon Bogdanor, Times Higher Educational Supplement 'Roberts triumphantly retrieves Salisbury from unmerited obscurity with a book as delightful to read as it is informative.' Niall Ferguson, Mail on Sunday 'A terrific piece of biography; I really enjoyed it.' Jeremy Paxman, Start the Week 'Andrew Roberts' Salisbury fills a most remarkable gap in British historiography with a study that that is not only learned and comprehensive but startlingly well-written.' Michael Howard, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year 'It captures the essence of Salisbury in a way that nothing has has ever done for me before.' Roy Jenkins, Financial Times

Book Bismarck and British Colonial Policy

Download or read book Bismarck and British Colonial Policy written by William Osgood Aydelotte and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by American historian William O. Aydelotte deals with the first chapter in the history of the German colonial empire, the dispute between Germany and England over South West Africa during the years 1883-85. “Since South West Africa was the first German colony, its history shows most clearly the reactions and readjustments both in British and German policy which were the consequence of the German colonial program. The incident also brings into relief several great political trends of the late nineteenth century: the growth of imperialism in Germany and in England, the conflict in the latter country between the different systems of colonial thought, the diplomatic problem of conducting negotiations between a democratic and an autocratic state, and the causes and results of these two different methods of diplomacy. Above all the story furnishes a superb illustration of Bismarck’s diplomatic technique. Because of its special importance, the South West African controversy is treated in some detail. The attempt has been made to present not a general survey of the period but a description of specific events. At the same time, the German colonial question is closely bound up with other circumstances, and it has been necessary to go well outside the bare details of the negotiations in order to explain all the influences at work on British and German policy. For this reason a good deal of space has been given in the first two chapters to the colonial and political background in both England and Germany, and especially to the way in which this background affected the men in office in 1883-85. On the other hand, less attention has been given to those subjects which have been adequately discussed elsewhere. Full consideration has, however, been given to the Egyptian problem and the general diplomatic situation both in the narrative and in the conclusions.”
