Four hundred years ago, indigenous peoples occupied the vast region that today encompasses
Korea, Manchuria, the Mongolian Plateau, and Eastern Siberia. Over time, these populations
struggled to maintain autonomy as Russia, China, and Japan sought hegemony over the
region. Especially from the turn of the twentieth century onward, indigenous peoples
pursued self-determination in a number of ways, and new states, many of them now largely
forgotten, rose and fell as great power imperialism, indigenous nationalism, and modern
ideologies competed for dominance. This atlas tracks the political configuration of
Northeast Asia in ten-year segments from 1590 to 1890, in five-year segments from
1890 to 1960, and in ten-year segments from 1960 to 2010, delineating the distinct
history and importance of the region. The text follows the rise and fall of the Qing
dynasty in China, founded by the semi-nomadic Manchus; the Russian colonization of
Siberia; the growth of Japanese influence; the movements of peoples, armies, and borders;
and political, social, and economic developments—reflecting the turbulence of the
land that was once the world's "cradle of conflict." Compiled from detailed research
in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Dutch, German, Mongolian, and Russian sources,
the Historical Atlas of Northeast Asia incorporates information made public with the
fall of the Soviet Union and includes fifty-five specially drawn maps, as well as
twenty historical maps contrasting local and outsider perspectives. Four introductory
maps survey the region's diverse topography, climate, vegetation, and ethnicity.--Publisher
