Description

Trace the dramatic decline of British imperial power across Asia from 1905 to 1980 in this authoritative Routledge historical study. Beginning with Britain's strategic alliance with Japan at the height of its influence, this book examines the transformative forces that reshaped Asia's political landscape throughout the twentieth century. From India to China and Southeast Asia, discover how British power gradually diminished from dominance to insignificance.
