Until the late nineteenth century, the Chinese-Korean Tumen River
border was one of the oldest, and perhaps most stable, state
boundaries in the world. Spurred by severe food scarcity following
a succession of natural disasters, from the 1860s, countless Korean
refugees crossed the Tumen River border into Qing-China's
Manchuria, triggering a decades-long territorial dispute between
China, Korea, and Japan. This major new study of a multilateral and
multiethnic frontier highlights the competing state- and
nation-building projects in the fraught period that witnessed the
Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the First World War.
The power-plays over land and people simultaneously promoted
China's frontier-building endeavours, motivated Korea's nationalist
imagination, and stimulated Japan's colonialist enterprise, setting
East Asia on an intricate trajectory from the late-imperial to a
situation that, Song argues, we call modern.
