This book is about writing the history of changes, turbulence, collision, development, and mutual shaping of East Asia since the 16th century. Why do we always feel that Japan and South Korea, separated by a water, are familiar but out of reach? The East Asian world we live in and think we are familiar with is actually full of myths and prejudices that need to be rediscovered and re-understood. From a global and continuous perspective, this book explores how the history of the modern world since the 16th century-rather than the individual history of China, Japan, and South Korea-has unfolded on the land of East Asia. The long-dusted past is revived. Through this book, we can discover that the more than seventy years of North-South confrontation on the Korean peninsula and the intricate love and hatred between China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea are actually "legacies" scattered on the road to modernization in East Asia. Although history does not directly provide answers to today, this book helps us to clear away the fog of reality, rebuild common sense, and see the essence through phenomena in the changing situation at home and abroad.

From the time the "black ships" of the United States were closed in 1853 to the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912, Japan took 60 years to rise from a backward country to one of the world's powerful countries, creating a unique model for the rise of great powers in modern world history, and becoming the envy and imitation of many catch-up countries. By describing the important historical figures and major historical events of this period, this book vividly records Japan's difficult journey of catching up and building a modern country over the past 60 years. It also analyzes the internal reasons why Japan later embarked on the path of militarism. For countries pursuing the "rise of a great power", the path Japan has taken still has strong practical significance.

The year 1215 holds an extraordinary position in Britain's millennium history. At that time, John, the "King of Soft Swords," was busy appeasing the restless barons. The Magna Carta, which was of great significance to the world's legal and political systems, was born in such an environment and would have a profound impact on British democratic politics. At the same time, also in 1215, King John was once in a situation of internal and external difficulties. In the competition with the Capetian dynasty on the European continent, it gradually lost its advantage. A little further east, Innocent III made decisions at the Fourth Lateran Council that changed the fate of millions. Author Dan Jones once wrote the best-selling book "The Plantagenets". This time, he chose the unique year of 1215 to show readers every detail of this turbulent country. In addition to describing the magnificent political struggle, Jones also takes readers closer to the daily life of England in the 13th century: from the royal family to the clothing and diet of civilians; social order and legal justice; animal species and nobles who are keen on hunting; the living conditions of women and children, etc. There's even the strange mantras and quirks of King John and his family.

In 1815, Napoleon returned to France from exile and immediately launched the Battle of Waterloo. No one knew at the time that Napoleon would permanently withdraw from the world stage after the war. What no one expected was that the key figures that would determine the fate of this battle, and even Europe as a whole, were the 400 infantrymen of the British King's German Regiment. They were responsible for the defense of Chateau La Haye-Saint, which was the only way to Brussels. With the help of newly unearthed eyewitness reports and details, Brendan Sims, an expert on the history of international relations at the University of Cambridge, reconstructed the fearless image of 400 warriors including Brigadier Opdida, Major Bahrain, and Infantry Lindau who fought tirelessly and continuously to repel waves of French troops out of their awareness against Napoleon's tyranny, loyalty to the British king, German patriotism, comradeship, friendship, and military professional ethics. Although they suffered heavy casualties and eventually retreated, their delay in fighting overwhelmed Napoleon and single-handedly determined this battle with a far-reaching impact in European history. Sims's re-examination of the Battle of Waterloo around La Haye Sainte gives us a new perspective on how Napoleon was closer to victory at Waterloo than is often thought. This book is a classic work in military history that should not be missed.

The story begins with an American merchant ship being hijacked by Barbary pirates and the crew being enslaved by the pirates. At that time, the new United States was weak and powerless, and it was powerless to deal with the pirates in North Africa. Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, had to run around trying his best to meet the pirates' ransom demands. At the same time, he also knew that the pirates were hungry and had to build up the United States' own navy as soon as possible. Jefferson's plan to build a U. S. Navy was supported by Washington and was vigorously pursued after he became president. In 1801, the newly built U. S. Navy immediately went into battle with North African pirates. The battle continued on and off for four years, and the young U. S. Navy successfully completed its mission. In 1805, the United States signed a contract with the chiefs of the Barbary region to resolve their concerns.

This book is a brief history of Britain written by American historian Mary Pratt Parmelee. The book is divided into three parts - a brief history of England, a brief history of Ireland and a brief history of Scotland. Each part is very concise, but all-inclusive. They can be independent chapters, but also connected with each other, including as much content as possible. This book traces the traces of historical events to see how these events contributed to the birth of today's Great Britain, and reveals the origins of important components of British culture in the late 19th century, such as legislation, justice, and society. The content is extensive, interesting, and easy to read.

During World War II, Japanese militarism established a large number of prisoner-of-war labor concentration camps in China, North Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Malaya and other places in Asia, as well as in Japan itself. Each concentration camp can write a long criminal history of the Japanese army's cruelty to prisoner-of-war workers, and every prisoner-of-war worker can write a thick history of the suffering of prisoner-of-war life. After more than 20 years of investigation and evidence collection, the author introduces to readers the miserable life and struggle experience of all Japanese prisoner-of-war laborers in concentration camps in Asia, especially in China, in the form of revelations. Let the world know that there is "Auschwitz" in Asia and "Auschwitz" in China. We must face history squarely and never forget the national humiliation.
