China had the most influence in the region because it
was the birthplace of Confucianism and Daoism, and
was united into huge empires throughout its history.
Europeans colonized parts of the region, and after
building up their militaries, extracted concessions, or
exemptions from local law, from China.
After industrializing, Japan conquered a large portion of
the region before it was defeated by Western allies in
World War II and stripped of its colonial possessions.
Several countries established communist governments
after World War II, but non-communist countries, and
China after it adopted some capitalist reforms, enjoyed
rapid growth and prosperity under market economies.
