In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan, China, Tsarist Russia, and later the USSR, all competed for imperial dominance in Northeast Asia. This fierce rivalry led to the adoption of many physical and rhetorical features of Old-World imperialism, tempered by domestic political forces and deeply ingrained cultural and historical values.

This comprehensive collection, with chapters written by scholars from Europe and Asia, including Russia, offers fresh international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the competitions between imperialisms in Northeast Asia from 1894 to 1953. It explores encounters between old rivals and new protagonists, shedding light on the symbiotic relationships between these regional powers and the resistance they faced.

The contributors, drawn from various disciplines and utilizing newly discovered and hard-to-access sources, provide a uniquely comparative and holistic understanding of the dynamics between these regional powers. They focus on four key areas: ideology, rivalry and territoriality, social factors, and visual representations.

This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of modern Northeast Asian history, providing insights into the imperial posturing between some of the same protagonists today. It is highly relevant to understanding the complex and evolving dynamics of power in this region.
