Four hundred years ago, indigenous peoples occupied the vast region
that today encompasses Korea, Manchuria, the Mongolian Plateau, and
Eastern Siberia. Over time, these populations struggled to maintain
autonomy as Russia, China, and Japan sought hegemony over the
region. Especially from the turn of the twentieth century onward,
indigenous peoples pursued self-determination in a number of ways,
and new states, many of them now largely forgotten, rose and fell
as great power imperialism, indigenous nationalism, and modern
ideologies competed for dominance. This atlas tracks the political
configuration of Northeast Asia in ten-year segments from 1590 to
1890, in five-year segments from 1890 to 1960, and in ten-year
segments from 1960 to 2010, delineating the distinct history and
importance of the region. The text follows the rise and fall of the
Qing dynasty in China, founded by the semi-nomadic Manchus; the
Russian colonization of Siberia; the growth of Japanese influence;
the movements of peoples, armies, and borders; and political,
social, and economic developments-reflecting the turbulence of the
land that was once the world's "cradle of conflict." Compiled from
detailed research in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Dutch,
German, Mongolian, and Russian sources, the Historical Atlas of
Northeast Asia incorporates information made public with the fall
of the Soviet Union and includes fifty-five specially drawn maps,
as well as twenty historical maps contrasting local and outsider
perspectives. Four introductory maps survey the region's diverse
topography, climate, vegetation, and ethnicity.
