When I first got into Kpop, I thought it might provide refuge from the all too frequent wars of US pop culture.

Little did I know...

🎉 Breaking news, folks! 🌍 Apparently, East Asian personalities were chiseled out of Siberian ice 20,000 years ago. Who knew hiking in Peru could lead to earth-shattering "scientific" revelations, minus the lab coat and degree? 🧊🧠

Time for an #Introduction !
I am a Belgian (Flemish) scholar of #TangDynasty #history, used to teach all of #EastAsianHistory at a SLAC in PA, looking for a new job (non-academic).

I love #knitting and #drawing and #running, #flute playing, and started reading #comics again after a long hiatus (recs welcome!). Would love to connect to writers, artists here.

Perfect day = cups of coffee and tea, noodling with pens and pencil, a long run, and feeding peanuts to squirrels while watching birds.

East Asia and the First World War

The First World War was a truely global event that changed the course of history in many participating as well as non-participating countries. In East Asia, the war stimulated the further rise of Japan as the leading power in the region during the war, yet also its radicalization and social protests after 1918. In China and Korea it stimulated nationalist eruptions, demanding freedom and equality for the (semi)colonized countries and the people living within their borders. All in all, the present book offers a consice introduction of the history of the First World War and its impact in East Asia.
