Book Description
Excerpt from The Shantung Question: A Study in Diplomacy and World Politics With the conclusion of the Shantung Agreement at Washington, February 4, 1922, the serious dispute that has been outstanding between Japan and China for the last seven or eight years is removed from the field of international controversy. The "Shantung question" has been amicably settled, apparently to the satisfaction of both countries. Growing out of the forcible seizure by Germany in 1897 of the Kiaochow Bay and the subsequent grant by China of a lease of the territory for ninety-nine years, the so-called Shantung question was, properly speaking, not a Shantung question. Primarily, the question was one which concerned the leased territory only. In view, however, of the fact that the entire province of Shantung was, upon the occupation of the Kiaochow Bay by Germany, recognised by Great Britain as a German sphere of interest, first in the declaration regarding the British occupation of Wei-hai-wei and then in the Anglo-German Railway Agreement of 1898, it is not without ground that the question relating to the leased territory has been frequently designated as the Shantung question. The term becomes more pertinent and more appropriate with Japan's succession to the German rights and concessions in Shantung after the war. Indeed, the question can from then on be properly called the Shantung question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book is the first volume in a trilogy that traces the development of the academic subject of International Relations, or what was often referred to in the interwar years as International Studies.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... THESHANTUNG QUESTION AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE ...';. AT VERSAILLES WITH the meeting of the Allied and Associated Powers at Versailles to dictate terms of peace to Germany, the Shantung question reached an acute stage, where it was possible either to make out of it an example of settlement based upon international justice and morality, or to intensify a serious international grievance and make its redress more remote and more difficult. The Peace Conference was organised in Paris on January 18, 1919. The first Plenary Session of the Conference was held on January 25. With the election of its President, with the appointment of numerous commissions and sub-commissions, and with the creation of the so-called "Council of Ten" composed of two representatives from each of the five "Principal Powers," the machinery of the Conference to formulate the conditions of peace to end the Great War was set in full swing. It should be noted that a line was clearly drawn, in the proceedings of the Conference, between the great and minor Powers. The United States of America, the British Empire, France, Italy and Japan styled themselves as "the Principal Allied and Associated Powers," and the other twelve minor nations were called merely "the Allied and Associated Powers." Inasmuch as the Council of Ten handled practically, at the early stage of the Conference, the main portion of its business, and inasmuch as the small Powers had no representation in the Council, it was not very far from the truth to say that, in the organisation and the proceedings of the Conference, the five "Principal Powers" enjoyed the position similar to that of the judges of a Supreme Court, to which the minor Powers presented their cases for judgment. It is important to bear...

The Wilsonian Moment
Author: Erez ManelaPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019988417X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, while key decisions were debated by the victorious Allied powers, a multitude of smaller nations and colonies held their breath, waiting to see how their fates would be decided. President Woodrow Wilson, in his Fourteen Points, had called for "a free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims," giving equal weight would be given to the opinions of the colonized peoples and the colonial powers. Among those nations now paying close attention to Wilson's words and actions were the budding nationalist leaders of four disparate non-Western societies--Egypt, India, China, and Korea. That spring, Wilson's words would help ignite political upheavals in all four of these countries. This book is the first to place the 1919 Revolution in Egypt, the Rowlatt Satyagraha in India, the May Fourth movement in China, and the March First uprising in Korea in the context of a broader "Wilsonian moment" that challenged the existing international order. Using primary source material from America, Europe, and Asia, historian Erez Manela tells the story of how emerging nationalist movements appropriated Wilsonian language and adapted it to their own local culture and politics as they launched into action on the international stage. The rapid disintegration of the Wilsonian promise left a legacy of disillusionment and facilitated the spread of revisionist ideologies and movements in these societies; future leaders of Third World liberation movements--Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Jawaharlal Nehru, among others--were profoundly shaped by their experiences at the time. The importance of the Paris Peace Conference and Wilson's influence on international affairs far from the battlefields of Europe cannot be underestimated. Now, for the first time, we can clearly see just how the events played out at Versailles sparked a wave of nationalism that is still resonating globally today.
Wilson and China: A Revised History of the Shandong Question
Author: Bruce EllemanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317452003
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Drawing on sources in Japanese, Chinese, and American archives and libraries, this book reassesses another facet of Woodrow Wilson's agenda at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference at the end of World War I. Breaking with accepted scholarly opinions, the author argues that Wilson did not "betray" China, as many Chinese and Western scholars have charged; rather, Wilson successfully negotiated a compromise with the Japanese to ensure that China's sovereignty would be respected in Shandong Province. Rejecting the compromise, Chinese negotiators refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles, creating conditions for the Soviet Union's entry into China and its later influence over the course of the Chinese revolution.
