"Problems of the Pacific" by Frank Fox is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the geopolitical dynamics and emerging tensions in the Pacific region, particularly focusing on the historical context of European and American powers as they vie for dominance. Through a detailed analysis of various nations' ambitions and interactions, the text presents a framework for understanding the future of political power in the Pacific, igniting discussions on races and their prospects for supremacy. At the start of the book, Fox introduces the Pacific Ocean as the next stage for global conflict, positioning it as a pivotal arena for future civilizations. He draws comparisons to previous historical periods dominated by the Mediterranean and Atlantic, suggesting that domination of the Pacific will determine the next great struggle among nations, especially between the so-called White and Yellow races. The opening chapter outlines the shifts in power from Cortes to the Age of Imperialism, highlighting the aspirations of nations like Japan and the United States, while foreshadowing the implications of their struggle for supremacy in the Pacific. Key themes include the rise of Japan as a military power, the historical context of China, and the positioning of Western nations, all set within a narrative that presages the political challenges these nations will face in their pursuit of influence.
