[edit] BRITAIN AND CHINA, 1945-1950
This volume examines Britain's relations with China from the end of the World War II to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950.
This volume examines Britain's relations with China from the end of the Second World War to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. It demonstrates how Britain's effort to recover something of its pre-war commercial pre-eminence in China were handicapped by its post-war financial weakness and the political influence acquired in China during the war by the United States. Believing it might still be possible to keep one foot in China's commercial door, Britain parted company with its American ally by recognising the Chinese Communist government at the beginning of 1950. Britain's view of the unfolding civil war in China is recorded in detail throughout, especially in the context of how Hong Kong might be retained as a British colony. FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE PUBLICATIONS Series Editors: Gill Bennett and Keith Hamilton FCO historians are responsible for editing Documents on British Policy Overseas (DBPO) and for overseeing the publication of FCO Internal Histories. DBPO comprises three series of British diplomatic documents focusing on major themes in foreign policy since 1945, and drawn principally from the records of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The latest volumes, published in Series III, are composed almost wholly of documents from within the thirty-year 'closed period', which would otherwise be unavailable to the public. FCO Internal Histories are occasional studies by former or serving officials, commissioned to provide background information for members of the FCO, to point out possible lessons for the future and evaluate how well objectives were met in a particular episode or crisis. They are not written for publication, but some Internal Histories, which offer fresh insights into British diplomacy, are now being declassified for publication by Whitehall History Publishing in association with Frank Cass.
