Book Review

This Kindred People: Canadian-American Relations and the Anglo-Saxon Idea, 1895–1903. By Edward P. Kohn. (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2004. 254 pp. $75.00, ISBN 0-7735-2796-6.)

There were several developments in Anglo-American relations between 1895 and 1903. In 1895, the second administration of Grover Cleveland threatened war if the United Kingdom did not come to terms over the boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela. In 1898, when the United States went to war against Spain, the United Kingdom represented U.S. interests in Spain. The United States returned the favor the following year in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic when the United Kingdom fought those two Boer republics. In 1900 and 1901, the British government gave the United States a free hand to build the Panama Canal largely on its own terms. Finally, in 1903, the two countries resolved the Alaska boundary dispute. The period surely merits attention.
