Territorial shifts in war promise Pacific changes
Friday’s Daily outlines how victory in the war could redraw colonial maps. It predicts Britain will seize German Pacific holdings in Samoa and possibly the Caroline and Ladrones, arguing England’s proximity to Japan would better protect Tutuila and Guam than a German or Japanese seizure. It notes tensions with Japan, fears about Pacific dominance, and how Allied and Teutonic naval power may reshuffle territories, with Italy and Russia shaping the Mediterranean balance.
