Japanese YMCA cultural imperialism in Korea and Manchuria after the Russo-Japanese war
Article Abstract:
Japanese Young Men's Christian Assn (YMCA) of the 1880s and 1890s believe that they should be an independent movement that is free from the influences of American YMCA missionaries. It claims that it has developed a unique form of Christian belief that merges the doctrines of Christianity and Japanese cultural traditions. With this belief, the Japanese YMCA felt that it should share this with other East Asian nations. Hence, it ventured into Christian missions to Korea and Manchuria where it was met with the same resistance it showed to the Americans before.

The United States, the Soviet Union, and the division of Korea: a comparative approach
Article Abstract:
The differences in the political cultures of Korea and Austria played a large role in each country's status as an occupied territory following World War II. Notably, Austrian occupation by the Soviet Union failed to fragmentize the nation;'s political spirit, and emerged a single country within 10 years. Conversely, a lack of political will and dichotomies within Korean political thought heightened the split brought on by Soviet and US interference, and have the kept the country from uniting into a single unit.
