WEEK THREE---War Begins in Asia and Europe

Overview

The purpose of this week's lecture and reading assignments is to emphasize the many significant aspects of the Japanese aggression in Asia during the 1930s AND the various responses to that aggression.  Included in this discussion will be an analysis of several nations' relations with both Japan and China.  As many of you have discover, I depend on your careful reading of Stokesbury to provide with what I call the "conventional" story.  In this instance, the assigned readings focus primarily on developments in Europe which allows me to focus more specifically on developments in Asia.
