| Summary |
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 colonisation 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' |
