Which role did East Asia play in the First World War? How did East Asian commentators see and interpret the »total(izing) war« in Europe and elsewhere? Which lessons did they draw from this experience for their own societies? How did economic networks shift? Which influence did the war have on East Asian visions of world order? This volume aims to introduce new scholarship, in many cases by hitherto untranslated East Asian authors. It is part of a larger movement in current historiography to emphasize the globality of the First World War, without losing sight of local repercussions and developments in East Asia.

Additional text

»Für ein besseres und umfassenderes, d. h. globaleres Verständnis der Jahre zwischen 1914 und 1919 liefert der Sammelband wichtige Erkenntnisse. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass er zu weiteren Studien in dieser Richtung anregen wird.« Frank Jacob, Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, 15.03.2021

»Der Sammelband ist ein gelungener Versuch, aktuelle Studien zum Thema Ostasien und der Erste Weltkrieg zusammenzubringen. Viele der Beiträge bereichern die Weltkriegsforschung durch völlig neue Forschungsfragen oder ergänzen bereits beforschte Bereiche mit neuen Perspektiven. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass die HerausgeberInnen in Form von Übersetzungen auch Forschungsergebnisse einbezogen haben, die zuvor nur in ostasiatischen Sprachen verfügbar waren.« Kevin Bockholt, ASIEN, 2022
