Hi, I am Matthew Clark.
I am a student of history at the University of Oklahoma focusing on Asia. My goal is to pursue a Graduate program that will equip me to become an expert on what was dubbed the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. More specifically, I am interested in exploring the relationship between puppet governments and their Japanese handlers--what that dynamic really looked like.
Initial Plan edit
I intend to make significant changes to the Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China page both to reduce unnecessary discussion of trivial information (the number of goats tallied in a government census?), as well as add information about the postwar legacy of the collaborationist regime. Additionally, I intend to flesh out the page on Chen Gongbo to include more of his prewar beliefs and attitudes by drawing on some of his political writings composed during the struggle between Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek for control over the Nationalist party. Finally, I really want to find a way to contribute to, in my opinion, one of the most fascinating historical figures I can think of, Wang himself, though I am less sure of the direction I want to take with his page.
Articles I will be focusing on edit
