This course looks comparatively at the histories of China, Japan, and Korea from the late 18th century to the present. It examines the struggles of these countries to preserve or regain their independence and establish their national identities in a rapidly emerging and often violent modern world order.

We also will look at how individuals respond to and are shaped by larger historical movements.
