SE Asian History Feature Writer: Dawn Ouedraogo

The rich culture of South East Asia has now reached every area of the globe. The region has been influenced by Ancient India, China, the powerful Muslim Empires together with many Western colonial forces. It is certainly obvious that South East Asia has a varied tapestry of faith and influences, and the development of the Dragon economies has led to its emergence as a major economic force.

From divisive British rule to independence in India and on to the beauty of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, it is hoped these articles will inspire abiding interest in the history and culture of South East Asia.

Articles range, from fascinating biographical pieces through to all aspects of history of the region, the Vietnamese and Korean Wars and development of the post-war economies and infrastructures.
