The author deals with a neglected area: inherent tension between Russian naval and mercantile interests and the origins of international rivalry in the North Pacific at large. Barratt shows that Russia's motives for early expeditions to the Pacific were to promote science, exploration, and trade. But when imperialist powers vied for territory and resources in the area, military confrontation became a possibility.University of British Columbia Press Pacific maritime studies ;1.Soviet UnionHistorySoviet UnionHistory, NavalAlaskaDiscovery and exploration979/.01Barratt Glynn1468915MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780543603321Russia in Pacific waters, 1715-18253731098UNINA
