This edited collection examines the effects of the Great War and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in East Asia. Contributors to this collection highlight how Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Mongolian groups and individuals actively sought to envision a global order in which the center of gravity lay in the Western Pacific, not the Northern Atlantic.

This groundbreaking volume edited by Tosh Minohara and Evan Dawley helps us overcome all the Eurocentric historical narratives on the moment of 1919 by putting a spotlight on Northeast Asia. The volume makes a persuasive case that seeing 1919 from an East Asian context makes us better understand its global history and its enduring legacies today. Contributors to this volume collectively reorient the way we should think about both the spatialization and the periodization of 1919.
