What reading level is The Coming Struggle in Eastern Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A large force was despatched to Aigun on the upper Amur, and by systematic action from this base during the next few years all Russian posts on the lower river were burned and destroyed. By 1683 only a single Russian settlement remained — the historic stockaded town of Albazin, a few dozen miles above Aigun — ^and round this entrenched Cossack position the last acts of the seventeenth century contest were played. Albazin was fitfully besieged by Manchu forces ; it succumbed, but was retaken and... rebuilt by the Cossacks ; and finally its fate was inexorably sealed by diplomacy.
The ever increasing frontier complications made it appear desirable both to Moscow and Peking to arrange definitely the frontier of the two Empires so as to stop these constant disputes, and after various pourparlers Russian and Chinese pleni- potentiaries met in 1689 at Nerchinsk, on the banks of the Shilka, to draw up a final treaty. The out- come as regards Russia was the Portsmouth Treaty of the seventeenth century ; the Amur adventure was entirely disavowed, the Cossacks were all with- drawn, and in the Nerchinsk instrument the Stanovoi mountains practically became the southern- most boundary of the Asiatic Empire of the Czar of Muscovy.
