Are focusing on these main points a good idea? What material should I read on these
>Chinese Civil Wars
>Japanese conflicts with China 1920s-1945
>Third Indochina War
>Korean War ( Preferably from an Asian perspective)
>Japanese Invasions of various islands defended by Asian Armies and Leaders 1936-1945
>Taiping Rebellion
Am I retarded?
