1: The Pacific Age
From Tahiti to Tokyo,
Samoa to San Francisco,
Perth to Peking -a dynamic society for the 21st century. The rapid growth of Pacific Asia has transformed world trade. America now does more business across the Pacific than she does with her traditional friends in Europe.
The Japanese have become pioneers in high technology, and their partnership with Australia guarantees the necessary raw materials for their industry. But even in the newly prosperous Pacific there is conflict - the French are resented for their outdated colonialism and their nuclear testing; the Imperial Army has not been forgotten, and everyone is distrustful of the Japanese; island tradition is often incompatible with the demands of big business.
To win friends and influence people, the Japanese send Samurai to Sydney, while Britain sends the Prince of Wales - to open Parliament in Papua New Guinea. Narrated by Peter France
