This book considers a range of issues that illustrate the significance and influence of the British Empire in Asia and the nature of Britain's imperial decline. Subjects covered include the challenges posed by Germany and Japan during the First World War, British efforts at international co-operation in the interwar period, the British relationship with Korea and Japan in the wake of the Second World War, and the complicated path of decolonisation in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aSociety & culture: general2bicssc  aAsia  aBritish power  ahistory  apolitics1 aBest, Antony4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3700670zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92482d92482
