In a paper of approximately 4 pages (not including the bibliography), double-spaced, please discuss challenges faced by Asian countries in the 19th and 20th centuries. You may choose to either focus on one country (for instance, Vietnamese nationalism and the First Indochina War) or a compare/contrast essay based on multiple countries (for example, the impact of Wilson’s Fourteen Points and national self-determination on nationalist movements in early 20th century China, Korea, and Vietnam). Another option would be to write an essay based on the concept of “orientalism” and its widespread effect.
