“. . . I am willing to admit my pride in this
accomplishment for Japan. The facts are these:
It was not until the sixth year of Kaei (1853) that
a steamship was seen for the first time; it was only
in the second year of Ansei (1855) that we began
to study navigation from the Dutch in Nagasaki;
by 1860, the science was sufficiently understood
to enable us to sail a ship across the Pacific. This
means that about seven years after the first sight
of a steamship, after only about five years of
practice, the Japanese people made a trans-
Pacific crossing without help from foreign
experts. I think we can without undue pride
boast before the world of this courage and skill.
As I have shown, the Japanese officers were to
receive no aid from Captain Brooke throughout
the voyage. Even in taking observations, our
officers and the Americans made them
independently of each other. Sometimes they
compared their results, but we were never in the
least dependent on the Americans. . . .”
— Eiichi Kiyooka, trans., The Autobiography of
Fukuzawa Yukichi, The Hokuseido Press, 1934
. . . By the time of his death in 1227, Genghis Khan controlled most of northern China, but the
swampy lands to the south stopped his cavalry from further advances. His sons expanded
Mongol control farther by conquering lands to the east and west. They divided the empire into
four large khanates, in Persia, Central Asia, Russia, and East Asia. . . .
Kublai Khan was a vigorous and capable ruler. He carried on large warlike hunts to show that
he kept Mongol tradition, but he also showed some appreciation for Chinese culture. He acted
to restore some of the devastation in North China. He began a vast renovation of the Grand
Canal, which was so important to the wealth and unity of the country. He directed the building
of water-control projects, such as dams and dikes, along the Yellow River. . . .
During the Mongol rule, trade revived with Central Asia and the Middle East. Both of these
areas were ruled by relatives of the khan. The vast lands controlled by the Mongols experienced
general peace, called the Pax Mongolica. It was said that “a maiden bearing a nugget of gold on
her head could wander safely throughout the realm.” Camel caravans once more carried
Chinese products such as porcelain, tea, medicines, silk, and playing cards to the Middle East
and into Europe. . . .

. . . The Malay States are not British Territory, and our connection with them is due to the simple
fact that 70 years ago [1757] the British Government was invited, pushed, and persuaded into
helping the Rulers of certain States to introduce order into their disorderly, penniless, and
distracted households [departments of government], by sending trained British Civil Servants to
advise the Rulers in the art of administration and to organize a system of government which
would secure justice, freedom, safety for all, with the benefits of what is known as Civilization;
and, of course, to provide an annual revenue sufficient to meet all the charges of a government
which had to introduce railways, roads, hospitals, water supplies, and all the other requirements
of modern life. Of nine States south of Siam, four asked for or accepted this help; four others,
threatened by Siam, came later under direct British influence; while Johore, nearest neighbour
to Singapore had, ever since the occupation of that island by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819,
depended for its development on the wealth and enterprise of Singapore Chinese. . . .

. . . Failure to answer, nay, refusal to tackle that question has rendered wholly academic the
discussion of abandonment. Even were it otherwise we could still look back proudly. British
brains, British enterprise, and British capital have, in a material sense, transformed the face of
India. Means of communication have been developed: innumerable bridges, over 40,000 miles
of railway, 70,000 miles of metalled roads, testify to the skill and industry of British engineers.
Irrigation works on a stupendous [huge] scale have brought 30,000,000 acres under cultivation,
and thus greatly added to the agricultural wealth of a country which still lives mainly by
agriculture. But, on the other hand, the process of industrialization has already begun. The mills
of Bombay have become dangerous competitors to Lancashire, and the Indian jute [rope]
industry is threatening the prosperity of Dundee. Thanks to improved sanitation (much resented
by the more ignorant beneficiaries), to a higher standard of living, to irrigation, to canalization,
to the development of transport, and to carefully thought-out schemes for relief work, famines,
which by their regular recurrence formerly presented a perennial [continuing] problem to
humane administrators, have now virtually disappeared. To have conquered the menace of
famine in the face of greater longevity, of diminished death-rate, and the suppression of war, is
a remarkable achievement for which India is wholly indebted to British administration. . . .
