The Wilsonian Moment: Self-Determination and the International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism

More about the book

This book tells the neglected story of non-Western peoples at the time of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, showing how Woodrow Wilson's rhetoric of self-determination helped ignite the upheavals that erupted in the spring of 1919 in four disparate non-Western societies - Egypt, India, China and Korea.
