This edited collection examines the fundamental role East Asians played in reshaping the world order during the interwar period. The contributors argue that Japan, China, Korea, and Mongolia sought to redefine the concept of sovereignty to advance their own interests after the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

This edited collection examines the effects of the Great War and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in East Asia. Contributors to this collection highlight how Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Mongolian groups and individuals actively sought to envision a global order in which the center of gravity lay in the Western Pacific, not the Northern Atlantic.

Tosh Minohara is professor of US–Japan relations at Kobe University. Evan Dawley is associate professor of history at Goucher College.
