historical background of premodern East Asia, highlighting
differences and similarities between China, Korea, Japan, and

adopted an isolationist policy against Western influence, while
others welcomed the influence. Part Three focuses on confrontation
and Westernization, featuring discussion of the Opium Wars, the
Meiji Transformation, and French colonization in Indochina. Part
