• Summarize:

Introduction:

When WWI was ended, most of European authority was bended to Asian arena. America controlled over Philippines. However, the apogee of Western in Asia was passed. 1900-1901, the Boxers Rebellion was the largest revolution against Western. Moreover, no new Asia rebel released from European’s hand.

At 1918, two kinds of region: the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) and British Raj (India) were two greatest victicms.

Japanese won Russia in 1904-1905 is the 1^st victory in the modern history of Asia and European’s power.

The British Raj from 18^th century:

Before 1914, Indian saw the world through British eyes. At that time, there were 2 greatest powers: British and Russia. Besides that, the world was divided 2 kinds: the 1^st thing was “The Civilization” involved Europe, West and India. The 2^nd thing was “The Primitiveness” of the rest of the world. In addition, the czars of Russia were collapsed and a new world power was appeared: the United States with its president: Woodrow Wilson.

1918, British coped with Indian self- government. After WWI, 2 great events were created: “Legislation by British Imperial Government” and “Amritsar Massacre”. By that time, a new character appeared: Mohandas Gandhi organized “March to the Sea” from Ahmedabad to Dandi in 1930.

Indonesia and the Life of Philippine:

Indonesia, which is the largest country in South Asia, is an archipelago involved other 3000 islands in Pacific with total area are 3,200m² miles. The main revenue of Indo was cultivation and export. Indo was affected by the Dutch (region). The Dutch's support gave Indonesian some good improvements, and encouraged for the People’s Council.

Sarekat Islam, which called Muslem Society, was an origination that was made in Java in 1912 and had about 1 million members of WWI in 1918. The Sarekat Islam was the 1^st political organization of Indonesian.

Philippine, which located in the north of Indonesia, was the colony of the U.S from the war with Spain 1898 like Cuba. Cultivating sugar plantation and rice were the heart of Philippine’s economy. However, their produces were come to U.S market easily without their acceptation and fair society. At 1916, U.S promised they would improve Filipino’s life, but nothing's happened.

3. Comparison:

In my opinion, I love to discover about rebellions and destruction of the Imperialisms. However, the combatants and life of Asia is interesting, too. That makes me know more than information about Asia power. Through Asia, we can see the carnage of European and Western arena. Comparing general viewpoints of the countries in continents and auricular viewpoints of Asia showed us lots of differences: Because of the noncombatant and weakness of the feudal governments in Asia, that created the perfect chances for the capitalisms and fascisms invaded.
