The birds? plumage was of high quality and sold at quite a good price in Europe. The Japanese realized the advantage of this global trade, and their desire to capture albatross motivated them to advance into the Pacific. The exploration of the uninhabited islands had become a fast-moving trend, defined by the author as the ?Bird Rush?. As a consequence, the advance into the Pacific by the Japanese resulted in the expansion of Japanese territory. The author has interpreted this Japanese movement into the Pacific by making use of the framework of three distinct shifts: in the aim of their actions from birds to guano / phosphate ore, in the agents of action from individual speculators to commercial capital and then to monopolistic capital, and from the sea near Japan to the wider Pacific. This concept can be termed ?a view of history centered on the albatross?. 410 0$aInternational Perspectives in Geography, AJG Library,$x2197-7798 ;$v7 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aJapan?History 606 $aMines and mineral resources 606 $aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 606 $aMineral Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G38010 607 $aJapan$2fast 607 $aSoutheast Asia$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aJapan?History. 615 0$aMines and mineral resources. 615 14$aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions). 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 615 24$aMineral Resources. 676 $a380.1438 700 $aHiraoka$b Akitoshi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299409703321 996 $aJapanese Advance into the Pacific Ocean$92532889 997 $aUNINA
