As civilisation grows and distances \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edwindle, man demands a larger and yet larger stage for the fighting-out of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe ambitions of races. The Mediterranean sufficed for the settlement of the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eissues between the Turks and the Christians, between the Romans and the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarthaginians, between the Greeks and the Persians, and who knows what \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eother remote and unrecorded struggles of the older peoples of its littoral. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the world became too great to be kept in by the Pillars of Hercules, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand Fleets¿in the service alike of peace and war¿ranged over the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlantic. The Mediterranean lost its paramount importance, and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edominance of the Atlantic became the test of world supremacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow greater issues and greater peoples demand an even greater stage. On \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe bosom of the Pacific will be decided, in peace or in war, the next great \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estruggle of civilisation, which will give as its prize the supremacy of the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworld. Shall it go to the White Race or the Yellow Race? If to the White \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRace, will it be under the British Flag, or the flag of the United States, or of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esome other nation? That is the problem of the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9791041984879\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Strategic and Geopolitical Dynamics of the Pacific Ocean\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9791041984879","offer_id":48305983553861,"sku":"9791041984879","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/82355b1f-7a84-426b-9d1f-771e6d14cacf.jpg?v=1768460102","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/problems-of-the-pacific-von-frank-fox","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
