The Port Hamilton Affair saw the English navy seize the Nam How Islands and the harbour between them. Intended to prevent increasing Russian influence in the Pacific, the incident involved Japan, China and Korea in a geopolitical struggle that lasted for almost two years. This is the first book to examine the affair in detail.
In April 1885 the British navy seized the small archipelago of Port Hamilton (now Geomundo) off Korea, an incident dubbed the Port Hamilton Affair. This book, the first full-length study of the incident, is based around contemporary material varying from printed dispatches and government reports to original archival manuscripts. This enables the book's scope to range from setting the Port Hamilton Affair into its context within the high geopolitics of East Asia through study of the life of the garrison stationed on the islands to relations between the powerless indigenous islanders and their British occupiers.
