Vladivostok as Part of Imperial Russia
The following pages attempt to trace the history of Vladivostok as it relates to the Russian Imperial Period. This history has been broken down into three periods, beginning with Russian actions to gain territory from China during the 1850's and culminating decades later with the Red Army gaining control of the city and its surroundings from an occupying force of Americans, Japanese, and British on October 25, 1922.
In addition to tracing major political and economic developments during this period of the city's history, these pages also hope to shed light on other aspects of the city's history such as its physical appearance and ethnic diversity. Though not at all comprehensive, the hope of these pages is that interested individuals might be able to gain a greater appreciation for the historical significance of this locale.
