Abstract

Abstract The negative British responses to Australasian colonial requests for the extension of British control in the Pacific, particularly in the period of annexations or attempted annexations by Germany from 1884, show the consistent subordination of Australasian interests to Britain's broader Imperial interests. This only made colonial governments and interest groups more determined to obtain and preserve what they believed was theirs by right. Of equal concern with the preservation of their economic interests was the fear that their maritime trade and ports could be exposed to attacks by German warships, based in colonies stretching from New Guinea to Samoa. The reality of the threat is confirmed by German naval planning documents.

“祝福女王,诅咒殖民办公室”:1871年至1899年,澳大利亚对德国在太平洋地区的合并的反应
英国对澳大拉西亚殖民地要求英国在太平洋地区扩大控制的消极回应,特别是在1884年以来德国吞并或企图吞并澳大拉西亚的时期,表明澳大拉西亚的利益始终服从于英国更广泛的帝国利益。这只会使殖民政府和利益集团更加坚定地获得和保护他们认为属于他们的权利。与维护它们的经济利益同样令人关切的是,它们担心它们的海上贸易和港口可能受到驻扎在从新几内亚到萨摩亚的殖民地的德国军舰的攻击。德国海军计划文件证实了这种威胁的真实性。
