Description

Explore a significant chapter of East Asian geopolitics with this historical study from Routledge. In April 1885, the British navy seized the Port Hamilton archipelago, now known as Geomundo, off the coast of Korea. This event, known as the Port Hamilton Affair, serves as a window into the complex power struggles involving China, Japan, Korea, and Russia during the late 19th century. This book examines how imperial interests shaped regional stability. At the time, tensions between Britain and Russia over Afghanistan made the strategic value of these islands high. By taking the archipelago, Britain aimed to deny Russia a sheltered anchorage and gain a tactical advantage for any potential blockade of the Russian fleet in Vladivostok. Beyond military strategy, the text addresses the moral complexities of the era. It looks at the internal debates within Britain regarding the seizure of inhabited territory belonging to a friendly nation. This work provides a detailed look at how imperial decisions affected international relations and the broader landscape of global empire during this period.
