Meanwhile, the possible disintegration of China and Japan's growing nationalism added new dimensions to the rivalries. Surveying these and other international developments in the Pacific basin during the three decades preceding World War I, Kees van Dijk traces the emergence of superpowers during the colonial race and analyzes their conduct as they struggled for territory. Extensive in scope, Pacific Strife is a fascinating look at a volatile moment in history. 410 0$aIIAS publications series.$pMonographs. 410 0$aGlobal Asia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;$v5. 606 $aColonies$zOceania 606 $aColonies$zAsia 606 $aEastern question (Far East) 607 $aPacific Area$xForeign relations 607 $aPacific Area$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aColonial history, Western Pacific, International relations. 615 0$aColonies 615 0$aColonies 615 0$aEastern question (Far East) 676 $a950 700 $aDijk$b C. van$g(Cornelis),$f1946-$0881988 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149348603321 996 $aPacific strife$92288448 997 $aUNINA
