Yet, Asian history is among the most interesting and (argueably)
> important subjects out there. Comments?
Pass. African and South American history are also fascinating
topics. It's also more difficult to draw any major themes in Asian
history solely due to geographical borders and divergent
circumstances - Southeast Asia was colonized by Europe, Korea was
fought over by China and Japan, Thailand has never been taken over,
South Asia is remarkably divergent in experience from
China/Korea/Japan, Indochina has its own history.....
The bottom line is that all all regions of the world have remarkably
fascinating histories. Making an argument based on this
or "importance" probably won't get you very far.
