The Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945 had devastating impacts on Korean culture and sovereignty. Japan gradually increased its control over Korea, culminating in a formal annexation in 1910. The Japanese then instituted harsh assimilation policies, oppressing the Korean language and culture. They also exploited Korean labor and resources to aid the Japanese war effort. Resistance movements like the March First Movement in 1919 sought independence but were crushed. By 1945, over 7,000 Korean prisoners had died under Japanese rule due to torture, starvation and disease. The occupation left a legacy of trauma in Korea while shaping its modern development.
East Asia is a region with high mountains, deserts, and rugged terrain created by tectonic plate collisions. This landscape has limited human movement and increased isolation. Major landforms include the Himalaya, Kunlun, and Qinling mountain ranges, the Gobi Desert, and rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow. The region includes China, Japan, both Koreas, Taiwan, and Mongolia. China has the longest continuous civilization dating back over 4,000 years and has been the dominant cultural influence through dynasties like the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han. Confucianism also spread ideals of social harmony. Japan emerged as an economic power in the 20th century after opening to
The document provides a history of China, Japan, and Korea. It discusses the early dynasties that ruled China and how communism came to power in 1949.

Finally, it outlines Korea's division after WWII and the ongoing challenges of North Korea under Kim Jong II's authoritarian leadership.
The Sui Dynasty was established in 581 CE after Yang Jian seized the throne from the Northern Zhou dynasty and unified China under his rule. During its peak, the Sui Dynasty achieved many accomplishments like constructing the Grand Canal and standardizing coinage and measurements. However, Emperor Yang Guang led a lavish lifestyle and launched costly wars that overtaxed peasants, causing famine and rebellion. By 618 CE, discontent was widespread and Li Yuan seized control, establishing the Tang Dynasty and ending the Sui Dynasty.
This document provides a brief history of Japan from ancient times to the Middle Ages. It discusses the earliest inhabitants during the last ice age and the Jomon period when pottery was developed. It then covers the Yayoi period when rice farming and bronze/iron tools were introduced, leading to a more settled lifestyle. The next Kofun period saw Japan becoming unified under powerful rulers buried in large tombs. Buddhism was introduced in the 6th century. Over time Japan developed a centralized government and moved its capital several times, eventually establishing Heian-kyo (Kyoto) in 794. Feudalism emerged and samurai warriors rose to power outside the emperor's control. This led to civil war and the
Perestroika was Gorbachev's attempt to reform the Soviet system and address its economic problems. The biggest resistance came from party elites who benefited from the existing system. The military-industrial complex also opposed reforms that might divert resources away from them. Gorbachev initially tried accelerating economic growth through the existing system but this had little effect. He faced ongoing economic problems like food shortages and higher prices. Gorbachev then introduced political reforms to increase participation and accountability.
North Korea's national anthem is called "Aegukka" which celebrates the country's history and people. The document provides background information on North Korea such as its capital Pyongyang, population of 24.8 million people, and communist government led by a dictator. It discusses topics like women's rights, censorship, the military, economy, and foreign relations. Women are expected to work but still face some inequality and traditional gender roles. The country has very strict censorship and its own internal internet.
1) Early Japan was ruled by small clans warring with each other until 1185 when samurai became dominant and shoguns ruled with their samurai forces.
2) In the 1500s, Japan unified under one shogunate and isolated itself from the world for hundreds of years.
3) In 1854, Commodore Perry forced Japan to open up to trade with the US and others, revealing how far behind Japan had fallen technologically without contact with the outside world.

Early Japan was influenced by Chinese culture starting in the 600s CE when Prince Shotoku introduced Confucian ideals and Buddhism. A feudal system developed between the 700s-1500s where powerful families and their samurai warriors ruled regions on behalf of emperors and shoguns in exchange for land. Zen Buddhism reinforced the samurai code of honor while its meditation practices aimed to achieve mental discipline useful for battle.
The document summarizes key events of the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1931 to 1945. It describes how the Japanese invaded Manchuria in 1931 and continued pushing into China over subsequent years, with major battles including the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Battle of Shanghai, and the Rape of Nanking. While inflicting heavy casualties on the Chinese, the Japanese also suffered increasing losses as the war progressed. By 1941 the Chinese army had been largely destroyed, leaving China occupied until the end of World War II in 1945.
The Boxer Uprising was a violent anti-foreign, anti-Christian movement that took place in China between 1899-1901. It was a response to foreign occupation and Christian missionary activity in China following the Opium Wars. The uprising was supported by the Empress Dowager Cixi as a way to direct discontent against foreign powers instead of the Manchu government. However, the uprising failed when foreign powers sent military forces to China, defeated the Boxers, and made China sign a humiliating treaty imposing heavy reparations. The uprising further weakened China's power internationally and paved the way for the nationalist revolution of 1911.
This document provides an overview of Korean history from prehistoric times through the Goryeo dynasty. It describes how the early Koreans migrated to the Korean peninsula around 4000 BCE and engaged in agriculture. It then outlines the three kingdoms period where Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla emerged as independent states influenced by but not controlled by China. Silla eventually unified the peninsula and experienced a golden age under Queen Sondok's rule before declining. The Goryeo dynasty then ruled for nearly five centuries, achieving advances in Buddhism, arts, and inventing movable metal printing type centuries before Gutenberg.
Korea has been divided into North and South Korea since 1945. In ancient times, the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla dominated the Korean peninsula and parts of Manchuria from the 1st to 7th centuries AD. Baekje was founded in 18 BC by King Onjo and played a key role in transmitting Chinese culture and Buddhism to Japan. It was conquered by the Silla-Tang alliance in 660 AD.
The Sumerian city-states of Mesopotamia emerged around 3500 BCE as people came together to solve shared problems of food shortage, uncontrolled water supply, building irrigation systems, and attacks from neighbors. Each city grew to function independently with its own ruler, farmlands, and irrigation systems. Their solutions led to the rise of complex, walled cities and the establishment of one of the world's first civilizations in Sumer.
- Taiwan has a long history of settlement and rule by various powers, including aboriginal peoples, the Dutch, the Qing dynasty of China, Imperial Japan, and the nationalist Kuomintang government of the Republic of China.
- After being defeated by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, the Kuomintang-led government retreated to Taiwan and established control over the island. Taiwan then transitioned to a democratic system in the late 20th century.
- Today, Taiwan has a dynamic capitalist economy but its political status remains ambiguous, as China claims sovereignty over the island and refuses to renounce the use of force, while many Taiwanese support de facto independence.
Zionism is a nationalist movement that supports a Jewish homeland in Israel. Since being expelled from Israel in the 2nd century AD, Jews have wanted to return. Zionism grew in the 1800s and led to the Balfour Declaration supporting Jewish and Palestinian homes in Israel. After World War 2 and the Holocaust, the UN partitioned the land into Israel and Palestine. Palestinians rejected this and immediately attacked Israel, losing the ensuing wars of 1948 and 1956. Conflict has continued since between Israel and neighboring Arab states and Palestinian groups like the PLO, with various peace efforts and attacks on both sides.
1) Korea is located in East Asia between China and Japan, with unique geography that influenced the spread of Buddhism and Confucianism in the region.
2) Three kingdoms emerged during Han rule over Korea, but in the 600s the Silla kingdom defeated the others and gained control over the Korean peninsula.
3) The Koryu dynasty lasted from 935 to 1392 and was modeled after China, establishing a Confucian exam system and university, but society remained sharply divided between aristocracy and commoners.
North Korea has been ruled as a single-party communist state led by a dictator since 1948. It follows the Juche and Songun ideologies of self-reliance and military-first policy. The country has a centrally planned economy that was heavily dependent on aid from the Soviet Union and China, but it collapsed in the 1990s causing widespread famine. North Korea has a strong military and pursues nuclear weapons, which has led to international sanctions. The society emphasizes universal healthcare and education, but the government strictly controls all aspects of life and human rights abuses are widespread.
The Sino-Japanese War was fought between 1894-1895 over control of Korea. While smaller incidents contributed, the primary cause was the Tonghak Rebellion in Korea and China and Japan's decision to send troops to respond. Japan had a military advantage due to recent modernization. They defeated Chinese land and naval forces, culminating in the Treaty of Shimonoseki where China ceded control of Korea and paid war indemnities. Although brief, the war established Japan as an emerging power and weakened Chinese influence in the region.
Armed groups, the 'Sudan Liberation Army' (SLA) and 'Justice and Equality Movement' (JEM), began the war. Reasons are cited as lack of economic development which demands a greater share of country’s resources and exclusion from the political administration of Khartoum.
Attacks on towns, government establishments and civilians in Darfur resulted in the deaths of hundreds of policemen and civilians and the breakdown of law and order in Darfur. An area where inhabitants depend on natural resources the severe impact of the continuing climatic changes and droughts on accessibility to land and water has a detrimental effect on the livelihood in Darfur as well as the rest of Sudan.
The Ming Dynasty ruled China from 1368 to 1644 and controlled territory from Korea to Southeast Asia. It rose after the decline of the Yuan Dynasty due to civil war, natural disasters, and peasant rebellions. The Ming was China's last dynasty and one of its most prosperous eras, with a strong central government. Key figures included Hongwu, who founded the dynasty and maintained a strong military, and Zheng He, who led naval expeditions to Southeast Asia, India, and East Africa between 1405 and 1433. The Ming pursued isolationist foreign policies and saw the arrival of the first Europeans in 1514.
1) The Opium Wars marked the beginning of foreign intrusion into China and the signing of unequal treaties that allowed European powers and the US to carve out spheres of influence in China.
2) The Qing dynasty fell in 1911 and was replaced by the Republic of China, but the new republic struggled with internal conflicts, the rise of warlords, and the growing power of the Communist Party of China led by Mao Zedong.
3) After defeating the Japanese in World War 2, a civil war between the Nationalists and Communists ensued, culminating in the Communist victory in 1949 and establishment of the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong.
The Cold War was the period of tension and conflict between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1980. Major crises during this time included the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and construction of the Berlin Wall. Though the US and USSR were allies in World War 2, their relationship was never truly friendly due to deep distrust that existed even before the war. This distrust stemmed from their opposing political ideologies of capitalism versus communism and led to a strategic competition where the two superpowers vied for influence through proxy wars around the world without direct military conflict.
Beginning in the late 1400s, Spain built a vast American empire through conquest and colonization. Key events included Hernan Cortes' defeat of the Aztec Empire in Mexico in 1521 and Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru in the 1530s. Disease brought by Europeans devastated native populations. Spain imposed its culture and extracted wealth, particularly silver and gold, through the encomienda system which abused native laborers. By the mid-1500s Spain had established colonies across Latin America and parts of North America, becoming the richest and most powerful nation through its American territories.
President Kennedy continued the Cold War policy of resisting the spread of communism through both military and non-military means. He offered economic and development aid to other nations through initiatives like the Alliance for Progress and Peace Corps while also threatening military force if needed to defend against threats like those in Cuba and Berlin. Kennedy believed in pursuing peace without relying solely on weapons and sought to ease tensions with the Soviet Union through agreements like the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

The document uses comparisons to California to provide geographical and population context about Korea.
The Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) established China's first empire under Shi Huangdi. It promoted legalism, bureaucratic administration and centralized control. Shi Huangdi ordered the burning of Confucian texts and buried scholars alive. The dynasty collapsed after his death due to oppression and succession struggles. The Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) established a synthesis of legalism and Confucianism. Emperor Wu strengthened the government and expanded the empire through war and colonization, but struggled against the nomadic Xiongnu. The Han developed a stable bureaucracy and society structured around Confucian family and social values. The Silk Road flourished during this period, facilitating trade and cultural exchange between China and the
The Chinese proverb states that righteousness in the heart leads to beauty in character, which leads to harmony in the home, order in the nation, and ultimately peace in the world.
The document discusses the dynastic cycle in Chinese history where dynasties would rise to power through virtue, rule for a long period, and then sharply decline by losing the Mandate of Heaven. It also explains how Buddhism grew in influence during a period of disunity following the fall of the Han Dynasty, as it offered explanations for suffering that Confucianism did not.
The document provides an overview of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. It discusses key events that led to Japan formally annexing Korea in 1910 after Japan had defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The occupation period saw Japan heavily censor information and crack down on Korean nationalism and political dissidents. There was widespread resistance, most notably the March First Movement of 1919 where Koreans protested for independence. Japan later eased restrictions in the 1920s to foster more cultural development while still maintaining control over Korea.
The document provides an overview of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945 and its significant economic, political, social, and cultural impacts. Economically, Japan dominated Korean industries and forced many Koreans to work in mines and factories, especially during World War II. Politically, all authority was held by the Japanese governor general and Koreans' basic rights were suppressed. Socially, Koreans were forced to take Japanese names and customs and thousands of women were made sexual slaves for Japanese troops. Culturally, Japanese rule aimed to eliminate Korean culture by imposing restrictions and promoting Japanese language and traditions instead. The occupation spurred Korean nationalism and independence movements.

The document discusses how Chinese civilization influenced neighboring countries like Japan, Korea, and Vietnam through a process of sinicization. Japan adopted many aspects of Chinese culture and government but eventually diverged and established its own feudal system. Korea developed a small aristocratic elite influenced by China but the common people were virtually enslaved. Vietnam resisted Chinese rule for centuries through rebellions but was eventually conquered and ruled directly by China for over 1000 years. Each country incorporated Chinese influences in different ways according to their own cultural contexts and histories.
The document summarizes Japan's transition during the Meiji Era from 1868-1912. It describes how Commodore Perry opened Japan to Western trade in 1853. In response, Japan abolished its feudal system and embarked on modernizing reforms inspired by Western models, including a written constitution and adopting Western clothing, technology, and education systems. Japan emerged as an imperialist power, defeating China in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, expanding its territory and becoming a new power in East Asia.
The document summarizes how Japan transformed from a feudal society into an imperialist power during the Meiji Era from 1868 to 1912. Key events included Commodore Perry forcing Japan to open to Western trade in 1853, Japan learning from China's subjugation to Western powers, and the overthrow of the Shogunate in favor of restoring the Emperor to power in 1868. The new Meiji government embarked on rapid modernization by adopting Western technology and institutions while maintaining Japanese culture. Military reforms made Japan a regional power, demonstrated by its victory in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars. However, its imperialism also increased tensions with other powers like the United States.
Imperialism and industrialization in japan and chinamgdean
1) In the early 1800s, China resisted Western influence and trade, but internal problems like famine and opium addiction grew. The Opium Wars weakened China's control.
2) Japan ended its isolation in the 1850s and began modernizing under Emperor Meiji. It industrialized, built railroads, and developed new industries.
3) By defeating China in 1895 and Russia in 1905, Japan gained control over Taiwan, Manchuria, and Korea and became an imperial power in East Asia.

The document discusses Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. It began with Japan annexing Korea in 1910 after crushing Korean resistance. This started a period of harsh rule as Japan banned political organizations, censored the press, and arrested thousands of intellectuals and nationalists. After World War 1, Korean nationalism and protests grew, such as the March 1st Movement in 1919. In response, Japan eased some restrictions in the 1920s to foster more cultural and economic cooperation, but maintained political control over Korea.
Three things were needed to end the Sengoku Era in Japan:
1) Oda Nobunaga utilized ruthless force and military skill to unite most of Honshu before being betrayed and killed in 1580.
2) Toyotomi Hideyoshi utilized great military skill and diplomacy to pacify resisting daimyos, becoming the military master of Japan by 1590 before dying in 1598.
3) Tokugawa Ieyasu utilized military and political skill to limit the power of the daimyos, being granted the title of Shogun in 1603 and unifying Japan, ending the era of "sengoku".
Japan's early societies were influenced by geography and neighbors. Clans organized society and emperors rose to rule. Later, Japan adopted Chinese writing and Confucianism [1]. The Heian period saw a cultural golden age until samurai gained power. Samurai followed an honorable code as shoguns ruled. Eventually, order broke down until strong leaders reunified Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate [2].
Western powers gained power in Qing China through war and diplomacy:
1) Britain defeated China in the Opium Wars, forcing concessions including payment of an indemnity and granting extraterritorial rights.
2) Following additional conflicts, European powers carved spheres of influence in China and demanded more concessions.
3) China's loss to Japan in the Sino-Japanese War revealed its weaknesses, allowing further imperialist incursions.
4) Reform efforts faced opposition from conservatives and Empress Cixi, halting China's modernization and weakening its position versus the West.
China faced increasing foreign imperialism in the 19th century, particularly from Britain due to the opium trade. This led to the Opium Wars in 1839-1842 and the Treaty of Nanking, which granted European powers extraterritorial rights in China and opened more ports to foreign trade. Meanwhile, Japan modernized under the Meiji Restoration to avoid foreign domination, developing a strong military and industrial economy to defeat China in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, allowing Japan to exert control over Korea and Manchuria.

The document summarizes Japan's imperial expansion in Asia and the Pacific prior to World War 2, driven by its goals of acquiring territory, resources, and living space. It describes Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and increasing aggression in China from 1937. As relations soured with the United States due to its occupation of China, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This brought the US into the war and led to years of fighting across the Pacific as the US retook lost territories in a strategy of island hopping until atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 led Japan to surrender.
The document provides an overview of East Asian civilizations from 200-1400 CE. It discusses the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties in China and how they brought periods of stability between chaos. The Mongols successfully invaded China in 1279 and established the Yuan dynasty. Chinese society advanced economically during this time period through developments like the Grand Canal and paper currency. Buddhism spread throughout East Asia and split into the Theravada and Mahayana schools. Life in early Japan centered around agriculture, trade, and religious practices like Shintoism. Geographic isolation influenced Japan's unique cultural development. Southeast Asian states varied between agricultural and trading societies, with women generally having greater rights than in China and India.
The document discusses Japan's invasion of China in the early 20th century. It provides background on Japan's increasing control over areas of China from 1895. It then examines the reasons for Japan's full invasion of Manchuria in 1931, including Japan viewing China as weak and seeking to replace it as Asia's dominant power. The document also looks at the impact of the Japanese invasion on China, including the brutal Nanjing Massacre that sought to terrify the Chinese population into submission but had the opposite effect of galvanizing resistance. Finally, it evaluates how the war with Japan contributed to the growth of the Chinese Communist Party by allowing it to position itself as a force resisting foreign aggression.
The cartoon depicts Japan as a samurai warrior defeating a larger Russian bear in battle. This imagery suggests that statement B best captures the meaning - that Japan defeated Russia in the struggle for control of East Asia.
The Korean War began when North Korean forces invaded South Korea in June 1950, crossing the 38th parallel border between the two countries. The invasion was backed by the Soviet Union, which had established North Korea as a communist state and supplied it with weapons and military advisors. The United States decided to intervene on behalf of South Korea through the United Nations to stop the invasion, seeing it as an act of Soviet aggression that breached postwar agreements. With UN authorization, US and other UN forces pushed the North Korean army back above the 38th parallel, but China then intervened on North Korea's side, leading to a prolonged war.
Here are the key points about westernization helping Japan and Siam avoid colonization:
- Japan and Siam embraced westernization and modernization to strengthen their militaries and economies in order to compete with European colonial powers. They adopted Western technology, education systems, forms of government, and other cultural aspects.
- Westernizing helped Japan and Siam present themselves as modern, civilized nations to the European powers and thus avoid being viewed as targets for colonization, as many other Asian and African countries were.
- By adopting Western customs but maintaining independence, Japan and Siam positioned themselves as equals to the European nations rather than inferior peoples in need of European governance, as colonialism was often justified.
- Their programs
Imperialism china, japan 1750 1914 - 2014 updatedJanet Pareja
1) Nationalism and imperialism grew in China and Japan between 1815-1915 as they responded to Western influence. China was humiliated by the Opium Wars and unequal treaties while Japan modernized under the Meiji Restoration.
2) Two uprisings in China, the Taiping and Boxer Rebellions, sought to drive out foreigners and overthrow the declining Qing dynasty but failed. The last emperor abdicated in 1911 and Sun Yat-sen established the Republic of China.
3) Japan transformed into an imperial power through military victories over China and Russia, allowing its annexation of Korea and control of Manchuria. By 1914 both nations had ended isolation but China remained not
This document discusses the Ottoman Empire, Qing Empire, and Japan from 1750-1900. It describes how the Ottoman and Qing Empires declined due to economic weaknesses, political rebellions, and pressure from European nations. It then discusses how Japan transformed itself from an isolated nation under the Tokugawa Shogunate to a modernized imperial power under the Meiji government by rapidly industrializing, building a strong military, and gaining control of territories like Korea and Manchuria.
During the Meiji Era from 1868 to 1912, Japan underwent significant changes in leadership and modernized rapidly after opening up to Western influence. Commodore Perry's arrival in 1853 forced Japan to open to Western trade. After witnessing China become weak after unequal treaties following the Opium Wars, Japan resolved to modernize to avoid colonization. The Meiji Restoration overthrew the shogunate and restored the emperor to power, beginning reforms to adopt Western technology and culture while maintaining Japanese spirit. Japan industrialized, grew powerful militarily, and expanded its territory, setting the stage for future tensions with other world powers.
Admiral Yi Sun-shin was a naval commander who helped revive the Korean naval forces during the Imjin War between Korea and Japan in the late 16th century. He invented the "turtle ship" and used improved weapons and tactics to win all 23 major naval battles he fought. The Imjin War was a conflict between 1592-1598 where Japanese forces invaded Korea in an attempt to conquer China as well. Admiral Yi played a key role in defeating the Japanese navy and turning the tides of the war in Korea and China's favor through victories like the Battle of Myeongnyang. However, Korea still suffered tremendously from the war through loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and economic impacts.
The Sino-Japanese War was fought between 1894-1895 over control of Korea. While smaller incidents contributed, the main cause was the Tonghak Rebellion in Korea and China and Japan's decision to send troops to respond. Japan had a military advantage through modernization and defeated Chinese forces. The war ended in April 1895 with China's signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, ceding control of Korea and paying large indemnities. This established Japan as the dominant power in East Asia.
Japan modernized after Matthew Perry demanded it open trade. This led to unrest and the Meiji Restoration, which established a modern government and industrialized economy. Japan then used its new military and economic strength to defeat China and Russia, gaining control over Korea and territory in Manchuria.
Japanese democracy failed in the early 20th century due to a combination of internal and external factors. Internally, the Diet had limited power, corruption was rampant, and economic problems grew during the Great Depression. This led to the rise of fascism through nationalist groups and a stronger military influence. Externally, worsening relations with Western powers and the rise of Chinese nationalism weakened civilian rule and strengthened the military's role in government. By the mid-1930s, Japan had become a military-controlled state rather than a democracy.
The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 marked the emergence of Japan as a major power and the weakness of China. The war grew out of conflict over influence in Korea, which had been a Chinese client state but attracted Japanese interest. Fighting began when Japan sent troops to Korea in response to Chinese reinforcements sent to help suppress a rebellion. The Japanese scored quick victories by land and sea due to their modernized military. In the Treaty of Shimonoseki that ended the war, China ceded Taiwan and territories to Japan and paid an indemnity, further weakening China and encouraging Western incursions.
The document discusses the 16th century battles of Panipat that were pivotal in the establishment of the Mughal Empire as the dominant power in northern India. It describes a painting depicting Babur defeating Ibrahim Lodi of the Lodi Dynasty in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. Students are asked to analyze this painting and compare how Babur and India relate to Osman and the Ottomans.
Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist during the Scientific Revolution who made improvements to the telescope and made astronomical observations that supported the heliocentric model of Copernicus. He was tried by the Inquisition for his scientific beliefs and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. Sir Isaac Newton developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation, removing doubts about the heliocentric model. John Locke was an English philosopher whose ideas about natural rights and the social contract influenced the Enlightenment and American, French, and Latin American revolutions. Mao Zedong was the Chinese communist leader who established communist rule in China in 1949 after a long civil war, and sought to modernize the country through often brutal
This document provides an overview of global history from the rise of totalitarianism in the early 20th century through developments in the late 20th century. It summarizes key events including the modernization of Turkey and Iran, the fascist rule of Mussolini in Italy, Japanese expansionism, Stalin's rule in the USSR, Nazi Germany, World War II, independence movements in Africa and Asia, the Cold War, conflicts in the Middle East including the Arab-Israeli conflict, and independence in Ireland. The document covers political, economic, and social developments across countries and regions in a broad historical context.
The Qing Dynasty ruled China from 1644 to 1911. In 1644, the Manchus swept into Beijing and established the Qing Dynasty after claiming the Mandate of Heaven. The Qing government expanded the empire to include territories like Tibet, Mongolia, Taiwan, and Manchuria. They also controlled Korea and Vietnam. However, by the 1750s the Qing Dynasty began declining due to issues like corruption and isolationist policies.
Rise of violence and terrorism: Arab-Israeli ConflictGreg Sill
The document summarizes the rise of violence and terrorism in the Arab-Israeli conflict from the 1950s onwards. It describes several wars and conflicts between Israel and its Arab neighbors that resulted in Israel gaining land, and the establishment of Palestinian refugee camps. The Palestinians formed the PLO led by Yasser Arafat to pursue independence, though they began using violence and terrorist attacks against Israel in the 1970s. The first Palestinian intifada from 1987-1993 involved civil disobedience protests and clashes that resulted in over 1000 deaths. The document also discusses Arafat's efforts to gain international recognition and diplomatic support for the Palestinian cause at the UN.
The document summarizes key events in the Arab-Israeli conflict and peace process from 1978 to present day. It describes the Camp David Accords that led to peace between Egypt and Israel, Sadat's assassination, and the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO. It also discusses failed peace talks at Camp David in 2000, the second Intifada, Israel's increasing security measures, and the ongoing disputes over settlements, Jerusalem, and Palestinian refugees that continue to impede a lasting peace agreement.
The document summarizes the fall of communism in Eastern Europe from the 1950s through the 1990s. It discusses key events such as Stalin's death in 1953 and the reforms enacted under Khrushchev that allowed for more freedoms. It then covers the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and Prague Spring protests of 1968 that were crushed by the Soviet Union. Major reforms under Gorbachev in the 1980s, including glasnost and perestroika, weakened Soviet control and led Eastern European nations to demand more freedoms and hold free elections. This resulted in the fall of communist governments across Eastern Europe between 1989-1990 and the reunification of Germany.
Geographic factors significantly influenced the outcome of World War II according to the document. Location, climate, and resource availability each played important roles for different nations. The document outlines how the favorable location of the United States and resource availability in Britain helped those countries succeed, while unfavorable factors hampered Germany and Japan and contributed to their defeat. Analyzing these geographic influences could provide insights into why the Allies were ultimately victorious in the war.
The Battle of the Bulge from December 1944 to January 1945 was the largest land battle of World War II in Western Europe involving over 1 million soldiers from the US, Germany, and Britain. It resulted in over 81,000 US casualties including 19,000 killed. The defeat of German forces in this battle was a major turning point that led to the Allied victory in Europe several months later.
The document summarizes key events of World War 2 in Europe. It describes how in May 1940, Germany launched a surprise attack on France and quickly defeated French forces, occupying Paris by June. Over 300,000 French troops were then evacuated from Dunkirk in June 1940. France officially surrendered later that month. The Battle of Britain and subsequent German bombing campaign, known as the Blitz, are also mentioned. Major battles and turning points discussed include Stalingrad, North Africa, Monte Cassino, and the Allied invasion of Italy. D-Day and the massive Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944 by Allied forces from the US, Britain, and Canada is summarized, with over 150,000 troops storming the beaches in northern
Stalin took power in the Soviet Union after Lenin's death and immediately began purging his opponents through death and terror. He implemented collectivization of farms and five-year plans to industrialize the USSR and build up its military through a command economy with total government control. This led to totalitarian rule through fear, censorship, propaganda, and secret police. Similarly, Mussolini and his fascists took power in Italy in 1922 and established a totalitarian fascist state through extreme nationalism, military expansionism, and by demanding total obedience to the state apparatus. Hitler also came to power in 1933 and quickly dismantled Germany's democracy to construct a Nazi totalitarian regime based on racial ideology that systematically oppressed Jews and other groups through the Gestapo secret police and fascist propaganda
The Scientific Revolution occurred between 1543-1650 and saw developments in fields like astronomy and physics. The Scientific Method using empirical proofs in experiments also emerged during this time, sometimes conflicting with Church doctrine. Famous scientists like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important discoveries, with Newton creating the laws of gravitation and calculus. The Enlightenment era that followed emphasized natural law, scientific progress, deism and civic freedoms, laying the foundations for modern political and economic systems. Key thinkers during this period included Locke, Voltaire and Montesquieu. The French and American Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals of natural rights and separation of powers.
1. The document discusses reasons for the Russian Revolution in 1917, including the weak leadership of Czar Nicholas II, huge differences between social classes, and Russia's defeat in World War I.
2. After the revolution, Lenin established communist rule but died in 1924, leading to a power struggle between Stalin and Trotsky that Stalin ultimately won.
3. Under Stalin's rule, he established a cult of personality through socialist realist art, rapidly industrialized through five-year plans, and collectivized agriculture, leading to the deaths of millions from famine and purges. Stalin also exerted total control over cultural and political life.
1. The United States entered World War 1 in 1917 after Germany intensified its submarine warfare and announced unrestricted submarine warfare.
2. This caused the sinking of passenger ships like the Lusitania, which killed American citizens and turned American public opinion against Germany.
3. The final provocation was the Zimmerman Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US if America entered the war.
The document discusses several weapons and tactics used during World War I, including automatic machine guns, tanks, airplanes, poison gas, barbed wire fences, snipers, animals used for communication, and submarines. It provides brief descriptions of each, noting things like how machine guns allowed a few soldiers to take down waves of enemies, how tanks provided armor protection and helped troops break through defenses, and how poison gas like phosgene could kill or disable soldiers through inhalation.
World War I was caused by militarism, alliances, nationalism, and imperialism in Europe leading up to 1914. Major European powers formed two opposing alliances and maintained large standing armies. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in 1914, a series of diplomatic and military events escalated tensions between the allied countries and led them into war.
The document summarizes Japan's transition from the Tokugawa period to the Meiji Restoration. During the Tokugawa period, Japan was ruled by shoguns in a feudal system. In 1853, Commodore Perry forced Japan to open trade with the United States through gunboat diplomacy. Dissatisfaction with the unequal treaties led to the Meiji Restoration in 1868, which overthrew the shogunate and transferred power to the Emperor. The new Meiji government embarked on rapid modernization and industrialization by adopting Western political, economic, and military systems while maintaining Japanese cultural traditions.
This document provides guidance on writing a thematic essay about nationalism. It discusses how nationalism has shaped world events over the last 500 years and how individuals have led nationalist movements. It prompts the reader to choose two nationalist leaders and discuss the historical context of their movements, the nations they influenced, and how their actions have continued to impact those nations. The document offers advice on developing an introduction and thesis statement that proves an argument about how nationalism influenced specific countries or regions. It emphasizes selecting a focused thesis that can be supported with evidence about the similar and different ways nationalist leaders inspired their people to create unified states.
1. Napoleon became a general at age 24 and later took over the French government in a coup, naming himself first consul.
2. In 1804, he crowned himself Emperor of France.
3. After being defeated by an allied European force, Napoleon was exiled to the island of St. Helena where he died in 1821.
The document summarizes the conflict in Northern Ireland from 1916-1999. It began with English invasion of Ireland in the 1100s and imposition of penal laws against Irish Catholics by the 1600s. Oliver Cromwell's invasion in 1649 intensified oppression of Catholics. The Great Potato Famine of 1845 killed over 1 million Irish and Catholic uprisings continued. The Easter Rising of 1916 launched the Irish war for independence. The Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 partitioned Ireland, creating Northern Ireland. Conflict escalated in the late 1960s, culminating in Bloody Sunday in 1972. Peace talks in the 1990s led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, establishing power sharing between Catholics and Protestants.

But the Japanese brought them
first. I think probably it was good,
in the long run.”

Modernization is often used as a defense of Japanese policies, but opponents
say it was done to benefit their commercial interests and not Korea.
Modernization in Korea began in the post-1945 period under the stewardship
of America and its allies in a way that benefited Korea itself.
23. “Assimilation” 1931-1945
The Great Depression and increasing Chinese
power led to Japan’s aggressive takeover of
Manchuria in 1931. Japan began to mobilize
the Korean population to support its economic,
political, and military campaigns
By 1934, “Citizen Schools” focused on
Japanese history, ethics and language. The
Korean language was eliminated from study
and public use and students had to pray at
Shinto Shrines. By 1939, Japan “encouraged”
all Koreans to change their names to a

Editor's Notes
Both have absolute monarchs who live in secluded cities. Both have civil service exams, Confucian social structures, government bureaucracy, shared language, etc.
Growing power and nationalism of Japan, Russia, Great Britain, United States – Imperialism Should Korea modernize – technology, military, industry, government, social structure, etc.? Should Korea continue their alliance and reliance on China or should they open up their borders to foreign trade? How will Korea deal with Western push to open their doors to foreign trade?
The Daewongun looks to be wearing traditional Korean clothing while King Gojong is wearing a European styled military uniform. The Daewongun will probably want to keep Korea isolated to protect Korea against Western imperialism, while King Gojong may be more willing to westernize and modernize Korea to prevent imperialism. Both want to protect Korean sovereignty and economy
During the Kapsin Coup, the conspirators chose a banquet celebrating the opening of a new post office to mount their coup. They told the king that the Chinese troops caused a disturbance and escorted the King to the Palace. When the King summoned his Japanese guards, they killed them one by one. They killed over 180 people. After Kapsin Coup, Chinese and Japanese agreed to pull all troops out of Korea and to notify each other if they send troops again. Japanese were willing to work with the Chinese to check growing Russian influence.
The Japanese removed the two major obstacles to their domination over Korea. They could now proceed to make Korea a colony without any major challenges.
There was also an plot to assassinate Terauchi Masatake by An Chung-gun’s brother An Myong-gun. The Japanese said it was a conspiracy and arrested over 600 nationalists. 105 were indicted and it became known as “Case of the One Hundred Five.”
Na Un-gyu spent two years in prison for his participation in the March first movement. He later appeared with a Japanese actress in one of his later films and was harshly criticized by the Korean people. He was only 34 years old when he died of tuberculosis in 1937. He acted in 26 films and directed 15.
We can ask the same questions about the Europeans in Africa and the British in India.
