This book considers a range of issues that illustrate the significance and influence of the British Empire in Asia and the nature of Britain's imperial decline. Subjects covered include the challenges posed by Germany and Japan during the First World War, British efforts at international co-operation in the interwar period, the British relationship with Korea and Japan in the wake of the Second World War, and the complicated path of decolonisation in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong"--Provided by publisher. 546 English 650 0 Decolonization |zEast Asia |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Imperialism |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 World politics |y1900-1945. 650 0 World politics |y1945-1989. 651 0 Great Britain |xForeign relations |zEast Asia. 651 0 East Asia |xForeign relations |zGreat Britain. 651 0 Great Britain |xColonies |zAsia |xHistory |y20th century. 653 Area Studies 653 Asian Studies 653 Asian Studies (General) 653 Asian Diaspora 653 Asian History 653 Asian Politics 653 Chinese Studies 653 Chinese History 653 Chinese Politics 653 South Asian Studies 653 India (studies of) 653 British Studies 653 Humanities 653 History 653 British History 776 |z1-138-54331-4 776 |z0-415-70560-6 700 1 Best, Antony, |d1964- |eeditor. 830 0 Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia. 906 BOOK
