Weeks Three and Four
''We begin our examination of the history of the Asia-Pacific region this week. You are free to look at the history of the whole region in a general fashion, or you can drill down to specific regional or state histories.''

Your preliminary reading on these topics will lead you to areas of interest that you can focus on.

By studying the history of the region we will be better able to understand the contemporary region as we progress through the latter weeks of the course.

Please note this Unit of study goes over two weeks of the course.
