Korean American Relations, Volume 2: The Period of Growing Influence, 1887-1895 is a historical account of the diplomatic and economic interactions between Korea and the United States during the late 19th century. Written by Spencer J. Palmer, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the events, policies, and individuals that shaped this critical period in Korean-American relations. The book begins with an introduction to the historical context of the period, including the opening of Korea to foreign trade and the emergence of the United States as a global power. It then traces the evolution of diplomatic relations between the two countries, from the first American contact with Korea in 1882 to the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Throughout the book, Palmer examines the complex interplay of economic, political, and cultural factors that influenced Korean-American relations. He discusses the role of American missionaries in Korea, the impact of the Sino-Japanese War on Korean sovereignty, and the efforts of both countries to establish a formal diplomatic relationship. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including government documents, personal correspondence, and contemporary newspapers, Palmer provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of this critical period in Korean-American history. He also offers insights into the broader issues of imperialism, nationalism, and modernization that shaped the global politics of the late 19th century.
