Description |
Nederlands: In 1864 blokkeert een Japanse ‘anti-buitenland factie’ de zeestraat van Shimonoseki in West-Japan. Ze nemen met kanonnen passerende Westerse schepen onder vuur. Nederland, Engeland, Frankrijk en de Verenigde Staten slaan de handen ineen en sturen een gezamenlijke vloot om de blokkade te doorbreken. In slechts twee dagen lukt het de 17 oorlogsschepen (waaronder 4 Nederlandse) om de blokkade op te heffen. De Japanse nederlaag ondermijnt het vertrouwen in de Japanse regering en zal bijdragen aan haar val in 1868. In Nederlandse marinekringen is men tevreden over de afloop van het incident. De Nederlandse marine heeft bewezen dat ze zich nog steeds kunnen meten met de Franse en Britse marines. English: In 1864, members of an anti-foreigners faction blocked the Strait of Shimonoseki in West Japan. Their guns opened fire on passing Western ships. The Netherlands, Great Britain, France and the United States joined forces and together they sent a fleet to break the blockade. In only two days, the 17 warships, four of which were Dutch, succeeded in lifting the blockade. This defeat undermined confidence in the Japanese government and contributed to its downfall in 1868. There was satisfaction in Dutch navy circles with the outcome of the incident: the Dutch Navy had proven that it could still measure up to the French and British Navy. |
