  • Warships After Washington: the Development of the Five Major Fleets 1922-1930 Pdf
    FREE WARSHIPS AFTER WASHINGTON: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIVE MAJOR FLEETS 1922-1930 PDF John Jordon | 288 pages | 17 Nov 2011 | Pen & Sword Books Ltd | 9781848321175 | English | Barnsley, United Kingdom Washington Naval Conference - Wikipedia Warships After Washington: The Development of the Five Major Fleets tells the story of the impact of the Washington Naval Treaty of on warship construction as the victorious nations tried to modernize their navies while facing financial strain, national exhaustion, strategic necessity and strategic ambition. Jordan is a teacher of European languages who began writing in the s about the Soviet navy. He is the author and co-author of many works on naval warfare including French Cruisers, and French Battleships,among others. Presently, he edits the annual publication, Warship. A technical subject requires careful and consistent treatment. Jordan Warships After Washington: The Development of the Five Major Fleets 1922-1930 succeeds, but, though the writing is generally uncomplicated, this is not a book for the nautical novice. For example, the benefits of superheated steam and the problem of dispersion in rounds fired from triple-mount turrets appear without annotation 16,so some familiarity with the subject will be helpful. Warships After Washington will likely be best appreciated by naval enthusiasts. For the knowledgeable reader this work will be a helpful reference to the evolution of naval technology during the heyday of disarmament diplomacy. Jordan draws together summaries of the basic characteristics of the warship classes most affected by the Washington Treaty. Otherwise, the necessarily multilingual reader would be forced to scout widely in the literature for the same information.

  • Why Has Japan 'Succeeded'?
    Why has Japan 'succeeded'? Western Technology and the Japanese Ethos Michio Morishima 3 Contents Preface Acknowledgement Map Introduction 8 1 - The Taika Reform and After 17 2 - The Meiji Revolution 33 3 - The Japanese Empire (I) 51 4 - The Japanese Empire (II) 70 5 - The San Francisco Regime 90 Conclusion 112 Postscript to the Paperback Edition 117 Index 118 4 Preface This book contains the text of the Marshall Lectures which were given at the University of Cambridge in March 1981. Prior to this, in February 1981, I delivered an even more abridged version of these lectures as the Suntory- Toyota Public Lecture at the London School of Economics. The question first of all was whether or not Japan had been successful, but no country is likely to be successful in all respects. Moreover success in one respect is closely connected to failure in another, and success and failure are often achieved in conjunction with each other. The theme of the present work is to attempt to clarify those respects in which Japan has been successful, and those in which she has met with failure, and to ask why this has been the case. In no chapter of the book, however, have I presumed to lay down in any categorical manner my own solutions to these problems. This is in part due to my belief that, although I have purposely not written anything in the nature of a summary or conclusion, what I am trying to say is likely to be quite clear to the reader. It is also due to my believing that there cannot be a single correct solution to this sort of problem; there can at the most only be various different views.

  • Constitutional Revision in Japan Research Project Current: 07.21.17 2
    DATE EVENTS RELATING TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION OF JAPAN (January 1868 – February 1889) 1868: 1.3 With a military backup from Satsuma (薩摩) and other Hans (藩), the Imperial court (12.9, Keio 3) supports a coup d’etat. The court proclaims imperial restoration and official establishment of the Meiji government, having the emperor as the nation’s top leader (Ōsei fukko no daigōrei 王政復古の大号令). Tokugawa declines to accept the proclamation. 1.27 Breakout of the Boshin War (戊辰戦争: War between the Meiji government and the (1.3, Meiji 1) Tokugawa shogunate troops) with the battle of Toba-Fushimi (鳥羽・伏見の戦い). 4.6 Issuance of the Five Article Imperial Oath (Gokajō no go-seimon 五箇条の御誓文) (3.14, Meiji 1) by the Meiji Emperor. Its first article is the injunction that "broad-based assemblies should be held and every critical issue settled by public debate". (Hiroku kaigi wo okoshi banki kōron ni kessubeshi 広く会議を興し万機公論に決すべし). The next day, the Meiji government issues to citizens the Five Announcements (Gobō no keiji 五榜の掲示), proclaiming a take-over of the basic principles of the Tokugawa governance. 5.3 Bloodless surrender of Edo Castle.

  • Japan and Its East Asian Neighbors: Japan’S Perception of China and Korea and the Making of Foreign Policy from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century
    JAPAN AND ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS: JAPAN’S PERCEPTION OF CHINA AND KOREA AND THE MAKING OF FOREIGN POLICY FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norihito Mizuno, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Professor Philip C. Brown Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn Graduate Program in History Copyright by Norihito Mizuno 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of Japanese perceptions of its East Asian neighbors – China and Korea – and the making of foreign policy from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. Previous studies have overwhelmingly argued that after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan started to modernize itself by learning from the West and changed its attitudes toward those neighboring countries. It supposedly abandoned its traditional friendship and reverence toward its neighbors and adopted aggressive and contemptuous attitudes. I have no intention of arguing here that the perspective of change and discontinuity in Japan’s attitudes toward its neighbors has no validity at all; Japan did adopt Western-style diplomacy toward its neighbors, paralleling the abandonment of traditional culture which had owed much to other East Asian civilizations since antiquity. In this dissertation, through examination primarily of official and private documents, I maintain that change and discontinuity cannot fully explain the Japanese policy toward its East Asian neighbors from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The Japanese perceptions and attitudes toward China and ii Korea had some aspects of continuity.

  • Volume 16 (2009), Article 4
    Volume 16 (2009), Article 4 http://chinajapan.org/articles/16/4 Liu Jianhui . “Samuraitachi no Shanhai” (Samurai in Shanghai). In Mato Shanhai: Nihon chishikijin no “kindai” taiken (Demon capital Shanghai: The "modern" experience of Japanese intellectuals), trans. Joshua A. Fogel (Tokyo: Kdansha, 2000), 27-46. Sino-Japanese Studies 16 (2009), article 4. Abstract: In this chapter, Liu Jianhui explores the Shanghai experiences of delegations of Japanese samurai dispatched from 1858-1868, including their fascination with Western institutions, commercial practices, and the impact of the Western presence upon the existing Chinese “walled city” beyond the Concessions. Liu argues that the experiences and time spent by shogunal officials and samurai in Shanghai represent an important and formative part of the Japanese encounter with modernity and the West. Copyright Liu Jianhui, 2000 Translation copyright Joshua A. Fogel, 2009 Sino-Japanese Studies http://chinajapan.org/articles/16/4 Demon Capital Shanghai: The “Modern” Experience of Japanese Intellectuals1 Liu Jianhui Translated by Joshua A Fogel Chapter 1 Samurai in Shanghai The “Front Lines” of Capitalism: Samurai Experience the “West” “Beachhead” In mid-nineteenth-century East Asia, together with the growth of the Concessions as “modern nations,” a modern network emerged encompassing trade, transportation- communication, and information—all centered on Shanghai. While China was, of course, included within this network, so too was late-Edo period Japan across the sea. This situation—that is to say, once Shanghai had become the “front lines” of the Western powers’ advance into East Asia and, at the same time, once China in a broader sense had been compelled to open her doors—meant that it might begin to play the role of “beachhead” leading Japan, their next objective, to “open its country” (kaikoku ).
