North Korea is often portrayed as a 'rogue state' and 'unpredictable' but like any other state it has a history which has to be taken into account to make sense of its present. Throughout the 20th century, Northern Korea has been on the front lines between empires, and between imperialists and liberators. The end of the Cold War globally has not solved the Korean separation the way it solved the German one, though the ideological rhetoric has changed. North Korean leadership invokes this history regularly to explain and justify its positions, and this has to be taken seriously in any analysis of North Korea's 21st century development.
Along with Imperialisms past and present, North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs are offshoots of 20th century processes of proliferation, in which weapons technology passed from state to state, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Perhaps more importantly, North Korea is drawing on the experience of disarmament over the last 25 years, a process that has not always gone well for states that surrender their nuclear weapons capacity.
All this is true, but perhaps more importantly, it appears to be the foundation of the North Korean understanding of how we got to this point, and what matters in this moment: regime survival in the face of multiple hostile controlling empires. We are historical beings, etc.
Diaspora and Modernity: Infrastructure and Nationalism in Transnational Immi...Jonathan Dresner
Wajahat Ali's play "Domestic Crusaders" is a family drama based on 1st and 2nd generation Pakistani immigrants in the US. It is funny, touching, intense, and lively, and nothing in it was surprising to someone like me who grew up with family dramas based on 1st and 2nd generation Eastern European Jews. This is why "Diaspora" is a useful scholarly term: there are patterns. Historians often shy away from that sort of talk, because we're more interested in particularity and complexity, but without abandoning our interest in what's distinctive, sometimes we have to admit that the sociologists are on to something and ask Why?
These patterns are structural, building on fundamental aspects of modernity: nationalism, infrastructure. Persistent racism in the US makes it hard for even third-generation Americans to be fully mainstream and enhances what might be considered the 'natural solidarity' of immigrants who share linguistic and cultural characteristics. The modern infrastructure of transportation and communication means that immigrants remain in contact with home countries, but also have resources with which to implant and expand their home cultures locally. This is enhanced on both sides by nationalism and the nation-state which, even in America, define citizenship culturally as much as legally. Parenting on a cultural frontier enhances tensions between assimilation and preservation of culture. Even in the 1st generation, the impossibility of fully replicating the home environment means that their attachment to home becomes focused on particular aspects of home culture and involves a great deal of assimilation.
Migration and modernity and identity in east asia (MWWHA 2016)Jonathan Dresner
A dramatic increase in physical mobility is a hallmark of the transition to modernity in any society. The combination of economic industrialization, mechanization of transportation and proletarianization of labor makes migration necessary for effective development. This paper will examine concepts of modernity to elucidate the central role played by migration in transition to economic, social, cultural, and political modernity. Changes in internal and external migration in 19th and 20th century China, Japan, and Korea will be examined along with conventional historiographical periodization to see how understanding modernity as movement can and should alter our understanding of East Asian history.

Points of commonality in the English Bill of Rights (1689), US Declaration of Independence (1776), and French Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen (1789). Also a few differences. This is based on an assignment I used in my 2012 World History survey.
My entry into the "Two Things About" discussion: History, History Writing, and History Teaching. Good for introductory lectures. I know "earlier antecedents" is redundant, but it's how I worded it originally, and I still like it: it emphasizes that the immediate causes are not always the important ones, and those causes have causes.... etc.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. War Crimes and
Crimes Against Humanity
• “War is its rules. It is the rules of warfare that
give the practice meaning, that distinguish
war from murder and soldiers from
criminals.” - Martha Finnemore
• As in past wars, post-war treaties redefine
many tactics accepted in wartime as
unacceptable in future conflicts
• Unlike past wars, post-war War Crimes trials
target activities not previously defined as
illegal: genocide, aggression
9. War Crimes Trials
• Nuremberg
– Crimes Against Humanity
– "Just following orders," a.k.a. the Nuremberg
Defense, explicitly rejected, creating individual
culpability for execution of policy.
• Tokyo International Military Tribunal for the
Far East
– Violation of 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact as
underlying criminal act
• "Victor's Justice"?
10. Genocide
“By “genocide” we mean the destruction of a nation
or of an ethnic group. ... genocide does not necessarily
mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except
when accomplished by mass killings of all members of
a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated
plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of
essential foundations of the life of national groups, with
the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The
objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of
the political and social institutions, of
culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the
economic existence of national groups, and the
destruction of the personal
security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of
the individuals belonging to such groups.”
- Raphael Lemkin (1943)

than waging it fairly?

Japan

Heavy investment in rebuilding
