Produktbeschreibung

Asia after Versailles: Asian Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Interwar Order 1919-1933 Edited by Urs Matthias Zachmann The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 marked the end of a conflict which, although intrinsically European, had globalized the world on many levels; politically, as well as economically, culturally and socially. It also stood at the beginning of a new order that saw the power centre shift towards the USA and Asia, and whose systemic structures and troubling legacies still remain with us today. This volume traces the complex story of the Asian response to the Conference, an event that acted as an important but neglected watershed for Asian nations. Bringing together an international range of experts in the history of China, Japan, India and the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, this pioneering volume offers a multi-regional and interdisciplinary analysis of the Conference, and demonstrates the importance of Asia in the multifaceted global transformations that followed in its wake. Urs Matthias Zachmann is Professor of History and Culture of Modern Japan at Freie Universität Berlin
