À propos de cet audio
In this episode I examine developments in East Asia in the latter half of the 20th century. I will discuss the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and how those conflicts illustrate different aspects of the Cold War. I also take a closer look at the evolution of China from the Revolution of 1911 to the beginning of the Deng Xiaoping era.
- What is the significance of the Korean war in the context of the larger Cold War?
- What were the reasons for Japan’s economic success throughout the latter half of the 20th century?
- Why was the Japanese invasion of China good for the Chinese Communist party?
- Why was Mao’s embrace of the Chinese rural peasantry so key to his initial success?
- What was the Great Leap Forward and why did it fail?
- What was the Cultural Revolution, and what impact did it have on China’s development?
- What was the Gang of Four, and how did its demise signal a new era for China?
- Why were the Vietnamese able to withstand the superior military powers of Japan, France, and finally the United states to eventually achieve independence?
