Our Conquests In The Pacific is a historical book written by Oscar King Davis in 1899. The book provides a detailed account of the conquests and colonization of the Pacific Islands by the United States. It covers the period from the mid-19th century to the late 1800s, when the United States expanded its influence in the Pacific region by annexing Hawaii, Guam, and Samoa, and establishing naval bases in the Philippines.The book begins with a brief overview of the political and economic conditions in the Pacific Islands before the arrival of the Europeans. It then goes on to describe the arrival of the first European explorers, the establishment of trading posts, and the eventual colonization of the islands by various European powers.The main focus of the book, however, is on the role of the United States in the Pacific region. Davis provides a detailed account of the political and military strategies employed by the United States to gain control of the islands, including the use of naval power and diplomatic negotiations.The book also covers the social and cultural impact of American colonization on the Pacific Islands, including the introduction of Christianity and the establishment of American-style schools and government systems.Overall, Our Conquests In The Pacific is a comprehensive and detailed account of the United States' expansion in the Pacific region during the late 19th century. It provides an interesting insight into the political, economic, and social dynamics of this period and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Pacific Islands or American imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
