HIS 186 - Modern East Asia

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

East Asia is vital to our global economy and rapidly changing American society. We need to understand this region more than ever to be the best possible global citizens in the 21st century. This course introduces the modern histories of China, Korea, and Japan from 1600 to the present. Enemies, friends, imitators, and innovators: the countries of East Asia have played all of these roles. The samurai, imperialism in Asia, the Chinese Revolution, and the Korean War are just a few of the topics we will explore. This course is the companion to “HIS 185: East Asia to 1600,” but does not require any prerequisites--just bring your curiosity.
