| book description |
In the 19th century, the ambitions of Western powers reshaped the destiny of East Asia. Western colonialism, imperialism, and economic conquest fractured regional stability and ignited a chain of events that reverberate to this day. This gripping historical account reveals how Western intervention disrupted centuries-old traditions and governance--from the arrival of missionaries in the region, the roots of the Boxer Rebellion, and the divergent paths of China and Japan to the birth of a global economic hierarchy that still defines international relations Through vivid analysis and compelling narrative, this book examines the forces that transformed East Asia and continue to shape our modern world. Readers of Asian history, global history, military history, and related subjects will find insight into the deeper origins of today's geopolitical landscape.
