CONTEXTIn recent years, the 'turbulent triangle' between China, Japan, Korea and Russia has been a focus of global attention. This zone of Northeast Asia is a vital geostrategic and economic location, and the legacy of conflict during the period of this project remains keenly felt and continues to influence international relations in Northeast Asia. The period to be studied by researchers working on this project was one of intense imperial competition in Northeast Asia, involving Britain and the US as well as the Northeast Asian powers, and it had enduring implications. The project runs from the start of the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, through the Russo-Japanese War, the First World War, the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War in the Pacific, the Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War up until the Korean Armistice in 1953. Japan was the dominant imperial power in the region during this period until 1945. Japan began seizing the Chinese Eastern Railway, a Russian-owned line, during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Ultimately Japan drove Russia out of Manchuria, and it occupied Korea from 1910. The Russian Revolution in 1917 ended Tsarist imperialism, but the increasing assertiveness of the USSR led to the Soviet reconquest of Sakhalin in 1945, along with the seizure of the Kuril Islands: both remain disputed by Japan seventy years later. Another legacy of the Cold War in Asia, the Korean War, has never formally ended. US troops are also still in Japan more than six decades after the end of the postwar occupation. AIMS AND OBJECTIVESThis project on the history of Northeast Asia will establish an international and interdisciplinary research network. This will bring together researchers based in Japan and the UK to work collaboratively. We will use innovative methods, including from disciplines outside history such as historical geography and history of art, to identify the transnational, global and local influences which shaped the region in this period. Links between Britain and Japan in this region during the period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance (1902-1923), will also be a particular focus.By working collaboratively, researchers on the project will be able to learn from comparisons and connections to adjacent areas of research, and so will build up a more complete picture of the conflicts, connections and resistance which shaped the subjugated territories of Korea and Manchuria, and the adjacent region. The project will consider the impact on communities, daily life, trade, infrastructure and the borders, enabling us to understand the influence of imperial competition, connections and resistance in the region, and so to understand the enduring impact of the conflicts and tensions of this period.During the 16-month project, researchers will produce scholarly publications including an edited volume and a journal article. We will also publish a paper on the legacies of this region's history of imperialism and subjugation, aimed at policymakers. In addition, researchers will curate public exhibitions on this theme in the UK and Japan, and will establish a website aimed at general readers and students.BENEFITSThe history of this region is of enormous interest to scholars, but the benefits of this research are much broader. A better understanding of the past is essential to make sense of the complex pressures at work in the region today; this is a vital consideration in a region widely perceived as critical to global stability. Through this research project, researchers will gain and share new insights.

近年来，中国、日本、韩国和俄罗斯之间的“动荡三角”一直是全球关注的焦点。东北亚的这一地区是一个重要的地缘战略和经济位置，该项目期间的冲突遗留问题仍然强烈地影响着东北亚的国际关系。该项目的研究人员所研究的时期是东北亚激烈的帝国竞争时期，涉及英国和美国以及东北亚大国，它具有持久的影响。该项目从1894年第一次中日战争开始，经过日俄战争，第一次世界大战，第二次中日战争和第二次世界大战太平洋战争，中国内战和朝鲜战争，直到1953年朝鲜停战。日本在1945年之前一直是该地区的主导帝国。1905年日俄战争期间，日本开始夺取俄国拥有的中国东部铁路。最终日本将俄罗斯赶出满洲，并从1910年起占领朝鲜。1917年的俄国革命结束了沙皇帝国主义，但苏联的日益自信导致苏联在1945年重新征服库页岛，沿着夺取了千岛群岛：70年后，日本对这两个岛屿仍有争议。冷战在亚洲的另一个遗产，朝鲜战争，从未正式结束。在战后占领结束60多年后，美国军队仍在日本。 本项目将建立一个国际性的跨学科研究网络。这将使日本和英国的研究人员聚集在一起，共同合作。我们将使用创新的方法，包括从历史以外的学科，如历史地理学和艺术史，以确定跨国，全球和本地的影响，塑造了该地区在这一时期。英日同盟时期英国与日本在这一地区的联系（1902-1923），也将是一个特别的重点。通过合作，该项目的研究人员将能够从与相邻研究领域的比较和联系中学习，从而建立一个更完整的冲突图景，这种联系和抵抗形成了朝鲜和满洲的被征服领土，以及邻近地区。该项目将考虑对社区、日常生活、贸易、基础设施和边界的影响，使我们能够了解帝国竞争、联系和抵抗在该地区的影响，从而了解这一时期冲突和紧张局势的持久影响。在为期16个月的项目中，研究人员将编写学术出版物，包括编辑的卷和期刊文章。我们还将发表一份针对政策制定者的论文，探讨该地区帝国主义和征服历史的遗留问题。此外，研究人员还将在英国和日本策划关于这一主题的公共展览，并将建立一个针对普通读者和学生的网站。好处这一地区的历史对学者们来说是巨大的兴趣，但这项研究的好处要广泛得多。更好地了解过去对于理解当今在该区域起作用的复杂压力至关重要;这是一个被广泛认为对全球稳定至关重要的区域的一个重要考虑因素。通过这个研究项目，研究人员将获得和分享新的见解。
