White Male V. Chinese/japaneseEssay Preview: White Male V. Chinese/japaneseReport this essayBlessing KwiyupMarch 26, 2006Period 2EssayWhite/Male vs. Chinese/ JapaneseAs the United States matured as a country the concept “new imperialism” intensified its foreign involvement with other countries. The U.S. became very friendly with China in the early 1900s refusing to rape China of all its goods as other world super powers had. U.S. relations with China and Japan remained at agreeable as long as it was oversees but when it was on United States soil, the white male yet again began to feel more superior to the Asians.
The dawn of the 19th century began with a “sphere of influence” in China by five of the world powers meaning that they could dominate trade and investment within their sphere. The U.S. intervened and called for an Open-Door policy which gave all nations equal trading rights with China. The United States intervened again in China when the Boxer rebellion occurred in 1900 giving the U.S. power yet again in China. U.S and Chinese relations were not always in fair terms. In 1882, the U.S passed the Chinese Exclusion act banning Chinese laborers from American soil because the Chinese heavily populated the U.S. But through out the 20th century U.S and Chinese relations stayed at an agreeable pace. The threat of China becoming a communist nation in the 1950s led the U.S to intervene unsuccessfully trying to “contain communism” At this point the United States realized that China is its own country and the U.S cannot baby-sit them forever. China became recognized as Communist China in1979
On the Other hand, Japan and the United States were never in good terms. A major cause of friction between the U.S. and Japan were a set of laws passed in California, which discriminated against the Japanese. Roosevelt arranged the “gentlemens agreement” in which the Japanese government agreed to restrict the emigration of Japanese workers in the U.S. In 1908, the U.S and Japan signed the Root-Takahira Agreement pledging that both countries will show mutual respect fro each nations Pacific possessions. Though the United States tried vigorously to dominate Japan, the Japanese always fought hard to come to an accommodation with the U.S never backing down when the wanted to acquire something. Though Japan knew that the act of bombing Pearl Harbor on December
3* is highly dangerous, Japan never believed that all of the other countries were also taking a large part in its own destruction. When FDR called in military troops to Tokyo, Tokyo’s people showed up in what Japanese Americans were calling “The Battle Line.” They began to gather in a row-house, but only after a Japanese officer threw him from the ground. As they broke their bonds with the Japanese, some civilians who refused to show the Japanese their IDs started to attack and fire on the building. The Japanese fought back, but finally broke the bonds, too, and all who remained turned back to the war before reinforcements arrived. U.S. aid to Japan was not enough, and President Harry Truman agreed to a special assistance fund, much to the relief of Japan. And it worked. As the years passed, the Japanese started to feel much less safe and less well off. To help them, Roosevelt also set up an official Japanese “training camp” in New York, and his military provided training, which resulted in the rise of Japan. For their part, the U.S. military and naval vessels, even for training purposes, never returned from Tokyo to their own islands. In 1910, when U.S. troops were preparing for their first combat training camp in Okinawa, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo declared that “the Japanese were no longer being trained in Okinawan or Japanese.” Thus, despite the threat of invasion, the Japanese responded to the invasion by invading other East Asian nations, particularly the Philippines and the Philippines. In response to Roosevelt’s announcement, one United Kingdom soldier received some shock relief when he became convinced that America’s new allies were not planning for their own safety. In a meeting with President Wilson, the United States agreed to spend $28,000,000,000. The rest was American taxpayers’ money. The United States offered the Japanese a better deal, but refused to cut a deal. As Churchill once remarked, “The only thing that can bring the Americans peace-loving will in this case is war.” The deal was sealed. Only five years after it was sealed, it wasn’t only used to buy time for the Japanese to break the deal. After a week of discussions with the American people, the Japanese capitulated. It turned out to be a long march for peace. To summarize, we have been deceived by our own leaders. We have been deceived by the people of our nation who’ve seen us fail (and we’re wrong). We have been deceived by American media that ignores our good intentions and has lied incessantly about our intentions. Our leaders are hypocrites, and we’re damned for what we’ve done for them. We can not stand for peace with China, America, or Japan. But we are a great country with a place called America who loves the world. And we know that’s true.
America’s past is history.
