Description: This book offers an in-depth look at America's position on the Shantung Question. From the early days of the US diplomatic engagement with the Far East, through the involvement in the Treaty of Versailles and the geopolitical developments of the early 20th century, the author gives historical context to the events that led to the controversial Shantung award. The book discusses the moral, ethical, and diplomatic complexities of the Shantung dilemma, examining the positions of the US, Japan, and China. The author argues that American statesmen and publicists were united in their opposition to the German claims on Shantung, seeing it as a violation of China's territorial integrity. The author also discusses the role of the Lansing-Ishii agreement and the impact of the secret treaties made during the war. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the American position on the Shantung Question, highlighting the complex interplay of international relations, diplomacy, and the US's commitment to the Open Door policy in the Far East.
