Excerpt from Recent Developments in China
When the Pacific Era shall have become an accomplished fact, the influence of the orient as a whole, and Of China in particular, will be increasingly great. Even at present the majority of the vital diplomatic questions which have been before the American Government during the past decade, have been issues concerning the Pacific. But the Far East is bound to affect our country not merely in its diplomacy, but in its trade, its industry, its education and its modes Of thought. The revolution in China deserves our most earnest study, not only because, if successful, this re-crea tion Of one Of the most numerous and the most able peoples Of the globe will take its place in history as a world event Of lasting importance, but also because it will exert a marked influence upon our own country as a neighboring Pacific power.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Chinese revolution through the writings of 30 experts present at a gathering held at Clark University. The conference was held just after the revolution to discuss the latest developments in China, which had only recently overthrown the Manchu dynasty. The author, Charles W. Eliot, a former president of Harvard University, provides an overview of the state of China following this momentous political change and reflects on the means necessary to unify the country. Eliot further discusses how the revolution was sparked by a revolutionary army comprised mainly of raw recruits, and how the desire for personal freedom drove these men to fight bravely. He also examines the challenges the new republic faced, including the severe lack of trained leadership, unifying taxation, and infrastructure. This book offers valuable insights into the historical and political struggles China faced during the revolution, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Chinese history or politics.
