But how democratic is our own ""democracy""? If you can vote, if the majority rules, if you have elected representatives--does this automatically mean that you have a democracy? In thiseye-opening look at an ideal that we all take for granted, classical scholar Paul Woodruff offers some surprising answers to these questions. Drawing on classical literature, philosophy, and history--with many intriguing passages from Sophocles, Aesop, and Plato, among others--Woodruff immerses us in 606 $aDemocracy$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aDemocracy$zGreece$zAthens$xHistory 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.938509014 676 $a321.809385 700 $aWoodruff$b Paul$f1943-$0223515 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451637603321 996 $aFirst Democracy$91671542 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02430nam 2200517 450 001 996492065603316 005 20230329003447.0 010 $a3-11-074567-4 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110745672 035 $a(CKB)5700000000120227 035 $a(NjHacI)995700000000120227 035 $a(DE-B1597)579494 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110745672 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7090729 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7090729 035 $a(OCoLC)1350689799 035 $a(EXLCZ)995700000000120227 100 $a20221125d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEast Asia and the first World War /$fFrank Jacob 210 1$aBerlin ;$aBoston :$cDe Gruyter,$d[2022] 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (v, 167 pages) $cillustrations 311 $a3-11-073708-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tContents --$t1 Introduction --$t2 China?s Eruption after the First World War: Japanese Imperialism, Western Jingoism, and the Awakening of Chinese Nationalism --$t3 Japan and the Great War: Imperialist Ambitions Abroad, Social Change and Protest at Home --$t4 Korea, the First World War, and the Hopes for a New World Order --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThe First World War was a truly global event that changed the course of history in many participating as well as non-participating countries. In East Asia, the war stimulated the further rise of Japan as the leading power in the region during the war, yet also its radicalization and social protests after 1918. In China and Korea it stimulated nationalist eruptions, demanding freedom and equality for the (semi)colonized countries and the people living within their borders. All in all, the present book offers a concise introduction of the history of the First World War and its impact in East Asia. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918 607 $aEast Asia$xPolitics and government 610 $aChina. 610 $aFirst World War. 610 $aGlobal history. 610 $aKorea. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918. 676 $a320.95 700 $aJacob$b Frank$0855622 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996492065603316 996 $aEast Asia and the first World War$92967049 997 $aUNISA
