In this episode, Samuel de Korte welcomes Quin Cho, historian, researcher, and author with Pacific Atrocities Education, whose work brings much-needed attention to the overlooked narratives of East Asia during World War II. Quin’s recent book, “The Kwantung Army: Manchukuo and Imperial Japan’s Expansion in Asia,” offers an in-depth look at one of Imperial Japan’s most influential and controversial military institutions. Together, they discuss the Kwantung Army’s origins, its central role in Japan’s expansion across China and Manchuria, and the lasting consequences of its actions on regional history. Quin also shares insights into her research process, the significance of highlighting Asian perspectives in World War II studies, and how confronting this history helps us understand the broader legacy of imperialism and war.
