DESCRIPTION:Categories: Presentations & Lectures [1]Faculty & Staff Spotlig
 ht  \n[2]Homepage Spotlight [3]When: Wednesday\, March 6\, 2013 - 4:15pm t
 o  \n6:00pmWhere: Hugel 103Presenter: Richard FrankPrice: FreeThis year's 
  \nRichard E Welch Memorial Lecturer is Richard B. Frank\, acclaimed histo
 rian of  \nWorld War II.  The presentation will address two main themes.  
 The first of  \nthese is to replace a framework for the Asian-Pacific War 
 overwhelmingly  \ncentered on the conflict between Japan and the United St
 ates to one that  \napproaches this phase of World War II as a struggle eq
 ually involving the  \npeoples of the Asian continent and the Pacific regi
 ons.  The second theme  \nwill be how the new scholarship transforms our u
 nderstanding of the  \nAsian-Pacific War.  Particular emphasis will be acc
 orded the long neglected  \nbut huge role of China in both the course of t
 he Asian-Pacific and the global  \nstruggles.  In that context\, the achie
 vements and failures of Chiang Kai-shek  \n(Jiang Jieshi or Jiang Zhongzhe
 ng)\, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stillwell in light  \nof the new scholarship w
 ill be discussed.  Other major issues include: the  \nclaims and realities
  of Japan’s professed mission of the liberation of  \nAsian peoples\; the 
 horrendous loss and suffering of noncombatants\; and  \nfinally the degree
  to which the Asian-Pacific War shapes the world of the  \nTwenty-First Ce
 ntury.  Sponsored by: History Department\, Richard E Welch  \nMemorial Lec
