There is no single volume that shines a light on Asia's collective involvement in
the First World War, and the impact that war had on its societies. Moreover, no volume
in any language explores the experiences Asian countries shared as they became embroiled,
with divergent results, in the war and its repercussions. 'Asia and the Great War'
moves beyond the national or even international level by presenting a 'shared' history
from non-national and transnational perspectives. Asian involvements make the Great
War not only a true 'world' war but also a 'great' war. The war generated forces that
would transform Asia both internally and externally. Asian involvement in the First
World War is a unique chapter in both Asian and world history, with Asian participation
transforming the meaning and implications of the broader conflict. 'Asia and the Great
War' also takes steps to recover memories of the war and re-evaluate the war in its
Asian contexts. Asia's part in the war and the part the war played in the collective
development of Asia represent the first steps of the long journey to full national
independence and international recognition. This volume aims to bring the Great War
more fully into Asian history and the people of Asia into the international history
of the war, in the hope that the shared history could lay the groundwork for a shared
future
