Overview
This reader reprints 16 papers from various historical journals and other sources that explore a variety of topics under the rubric of the "American Empire in the Pacific" and collectively covering a period from the 1700s to the 1920s. Among the topics explored are the export of Chinese porcelain to 18th century Virginia, continental expansion in the late 19th century, a precursor to the American steam navy, the sale of Alaska in the context of Russian-American relations, newspaper reactions to the annexation of Hawaii, the relation of the Panama Canal to American sea power, and Wilsonian idealism and Japanese claims at the Paris Peace Conference that ended World War I.
