‘Port Towns & Diplomacy: Japanese naval visits to Britain and Australia in the early 20th century’
4 December 2018, London
Join us for a free talk on Japanese naval visits to Britain and Australia in the early 20th century. Dr Melanie Bassett will explore the relationship between citizens of the British Empire and one of their most controversial allies of the pre-First World War era.
Find out how the Japanese fleet were received at Portsmouth in Britain and Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, and how both host nations and their guests negotiated the cultural and racial divide against the background of a contentious alliance.
