Topic: “JAPAN RISING: Ascendency over Asia 1894-1895” 
This talk is a comprehensive look at the personalities, places, and policies 
which played a crucial role in Japan becoming the most 
powerful force in Asia by 1900. Little-known in the West, 
these events are very much in the memory of many in Asia today, 
and have influenced decision-making from the 19th Century 
to the present. This program will set the stage for future presentations 
he’ll be giving in January & February of 2023. Sign up today!
