CHAPTER XIX THE UNITED STATES AS A PACIFIC OCEAN POWER Historic areas of civilization are most naturally indi- cated by the seas which they encompass. The jEgean, Mediterranean, the Atlantic, Pacific mark eras of pro- gress, of which the seafaring nations of the world have been the first apostles. Every maritime expansion of civilization draws with it in its train the smaller water area which constituted its previous field, operates for a long time under the influence of the latter, and while r...obbing it of its former preeminence, contributes finally to its absolute activity. This has been the history of the JEgean in relation to the Mediterranean, of the Medi- terranean and Baltic-North in relation to the Atlantic. v We speak of the Pacific as the " ocean of the future," but this means in reality the final expansion of the maritime field by which it embraces this last great basin and advances to active exploitation of the world ocean. 1 For the sea is always one. The little harbor of Batum at the innermost corner of the Euxine is just as much a port of the world ocean as New York, Honolulu, or Hongkong.
