An illustrated talk – Clash of empires: the Far Eastern War Revisited

20 April @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
£5 – £6.13

This is part of a series of talks put on by the Birmingham People’s History Archive (see www.bpha.online). Last year many countries commemorated V.J. Day, that is the 80th anniversary of the end of the war in the Far East. However, the conflict in Asia did not end in 1945, nor did it begin in 1941 with the attack on Pear Harbour. Only the Soviet Union suffered more casualties than China during the war. Ian will bring a new perspective to this topic, outlining recent research and writing on what was vicious conflict fought on a massive scale.

Ian is a retired history teacher and amateur historian. He is a volunteer at the Birmingham People’s History Archive. He is a member of a number of local and national history groups. He regularly gives talks on subjects as diverse as the American Civil War in Film and the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in World War Two.
