East and Southeast Asia were the sites of some of humanity’s earliest technological advances
Historical OverviewHistorical Overview
• China had the most influence in the region because it was the birthplace of Confucianism and Daoism, and was united into huge empires throughout its history.
• Europeans colonized parts of the region, and after building up their militaries, extracted concessions, or exemptions from local law, from China.
• After industrializing, Japan conquered a large portion of the region before it was defeated by Western allies in World War II and stripped of its colonial possessions.
• Several countries established communist governments after World War II, but non-communist countries, and China after it adopted some capitalist reforms, enjoyed rapid growth and prosperity under market economies.
