Lecture 31: In this lecture and the next, we’ll look at the history and culture of the Southeast Asia region. Inevitably, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaya, and various other states in the region became members of the vast cultural zone dominated by China. We will investigate the impact of many of the foundational elements of Eastern civilization we have looked at earlier on the states and peoples of Southeast Asia, and we’ll explore the impact that political, economic, and cultural developments in Southeast Asian states had on China and Eastern civilization more generally. In this lecture, we begin with the history and culture of Vietnam, from its earliest interactions with ancient China through its colonization by the French in the 18th century.
