Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Navy is not the best of training for literary effort. All I have endeavoured to accomplish, therefore, is to present a seamans view of a subject of maritime interest which nobody has hitherto studied as a whole, and as I do not possess the advantage of being able to read the old Japanese records in the original, I have been dependent for my information in regard to the events in history upon the labours of those who do. Many histories of Japan have appeared in English, but very different versions of ancient historical occurrences are to be found in the various accounts hitherto published, and, as far as I have been able to ascertain in an exhaustive search through theB ritish Museum Library, no attempt has been made to sift the discrepancies and produce a standard record based on an acceptance of the points on which the majority of well-qualified writers are in agreement. Moreover, some writers, by specializing in the treatment of selected periods and passing lightly over others, have produced books which are lacking in proportion as a guide to the study of the whole matter, however valuable as works of reference for a part.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating interplay between Japan's island geography and its political history, spanning centuries of dramatic transformations. The author delves into how Japan's maritime environment initially served as a natural barrier, fostering a sense of seclusion and shaping its early interactions with the outside world. As shipbuilding technology advanced and the world entered an era of exploration and conquest, Japan's isolation became a vulnerability. The author recounts pivotal moments like the Mongol invasions and the Korean War of the sixteenth century, where naval power played a decisive role in shaping Japan's destiny. The book then examines Japan's period of self-imposed isolation, highlighting the consequences of this policy on its internal development and external relations. The arrival of Commodore Perry and the subsequent opening of Japan marked a turning point, forcing the nation to confront the challenges and opportunities of a globalized world. Through compelling narratives of key historical events, including the battles of Kagosima and Shimonoseki, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Russo-Japanese War, the author illustrates how Japan strategically adapted to its maritime reality. The emergence of a modern navy and the pursuit of alliances became crucial elements in Japan's rise as a major power on the world stage. Ultimately, this book reveals how the sea has profoundly influenced Japan's political trajectory, shaping its identity, its relationships with other nations, and its place in the global order. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
