Klappentext This book deals with five countries -- Siam Vietnam, Burma, Indonesia, Philippines -- and the turbulent but influential years 1919-21. Zusammenfassung Southeast Asia needs to be dealt with as a whole, because, although the one national delegation from the region (Siam) took a minor part, nationalist movements in several Southeast Asian countries reached an early climax significant though inconclusive in the years 1919-1920. This book focuses on developments around 1919. Inhaltsverzeichnis Contents Prologue: The Indochina Delegate I. The Lands 1. Sources of South East Asian Nationhood II.
