The overall purpose of this textbook is to survey the major events of modern Chinese and Japanese history. Sometimes this survey takes the form of an old-fashioned, straightforward narrative.

Furthermore, many of the topics discussed in subsequent chapters shed light on matters of broad significance to the study of human affairs.
