Patrick J. Hurley and Chinese-American relations, 1944-1945. - 300 p.

Adviser: William Roger Biles.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Oklahoma State University, 1994.

Scope and method of study: Patrick J. Hurley (1883-1963) was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal representative and later on the American Ambassador to China during the period of 1944-1945, a time when the United States was trying to unify the Chinese Nationalists and Communists so that China would become an effective fighting ally against Japan and a friendly nation toward the United States after the war. It was also a period when both the Nationalists and the Communists came to the conclusion that they were going to use force instead of negotiations as a means to gain the national power. By using some recently released Chinese documents and other primary and secondary sources, this dissertation tries to examine Hurley's mission to China and find out the reasons why this mission and other American efforts to unify China ended in failure.Subjects--Topical Terms:

Roosevelt's personal representative and later on the American Ambassador to China during the period of 1944-1945, a time when the United States was trying to unify the Chinese Nationalists and Communists so that China would become an effective fighting ally against Japan and a friendly nation toward the United States after the war. It was also a period when both the Nationalists and the Communists came to the conclusion that they were going to use force instead of negotiations as a means to gain the national power.

520 $a Findings and conclusions: As the key representative of the United States government and the major source of information for Washington, Hurley played an important role during this period. But due to his ignorance about China, its politics as well as its culture, the nature of the power struggle, and his blind trust in the Soviet promises, he simplified a very complicated problem. By doing so, he miscalculated the situation in China. This led to the failure of his mission and the whole American policy in China. Though Hurley was not the most deciding factor in forming America's policy in that country, his actions in China made an already difficult situation even harder to handle: the Nationalists became more uncompromising and the Communists came faster to the conclusion that the United States was their enemy. Hurley contributed to the tragedy of later confrontation between the United States and China.
