The attack upon the American gunboat in December, 1937 by Japanese forces contributed greatly to the general deterior­ ation and eventual breakdown in American-Japanese diplomatic relations. Though the immediate impact of the incident did not result in any radical departure from America's isola­ tionist position, it did modify American opinion in respect to foreign and domestic affairs. Indeed, pacifist influ­ ence was to reach its highest crest during the Panav epi­ sode. At the same time, the crisis vividly dramatized America's unwillingness to pursue a more positive policy in the Far East.

Title: The Background and Development of the 1871 Korean-American Incident: A Case Study in Cultural Conflict APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Berm::rd V. Burke '.Basu Dmytrys~"lyn This study is an attempt to combine the disciplines of Asian history and United States diplomatic history in analyzing the 1871 Korean-American Incident. The Incident revolves around the Low-Hodgers eA.-pedition to Korea, and the sub- sequent breakdown of peaceful negotiations into a military dash of arms. To describe the Incident as merely another example of American "im- perialism, '' or as a result of narrow-mindad Korean isolationism, is to over- simplify its causes and miss the larger implications that can be learned from it.
