 global geography week 10 march 22, 2016  ancient kingdoms- south east asia has never had one dominating country influences-  south east asia (india) influenced architecture  the chinese- influenced the mainland (thailand, vietnam, etc.). buddhism was brought to the mainland. languages are related to chinese.  the islands were influenced by islam- southeast asia came into contact with islam through merchants. sultans would become muslim and therefore all his people would become muslim under him.  south east asia is extremely diverse in regard to religion- all 4 major religions are found here  christianity- the spanish brought christianity to philippines. portuguese brought catholicism to east timor.  the philippines was the spanish’s only major colony. however the us has had a greater influence on the philippines. us took control over the philippines after defeating spain in war. we brought english to this region. they became us territory. philippines became a likely cause for the us getting involved in wwii.  us vs. japan- it is argued that one of the main reason the japanese attacked pear harbor is because the us was in the philippines- the us was too close for comfort. japan eventually took over the philippines. the us took it back but the philippines eventually became independent.  religious clashes- clashes are very rare. the clashes usually against the government. saffron rebellion- monks led the protest against the military government of myanmar. the government attacked the buddhists- the monks then decided not to take donations from the government- this was seen as a rejection from heaven. huge slap in the face.  jemaah and abu sayyaf- people have fought for serria law- have attacked tourists in order to protest the government. groups like abu sayyaf want autonomy- radical group who has been known to kidnap people.  languages- thai and laotian- not related to india language but the writing system was influenced by south asia  vietnamese- was never a written language- the language was originally written in chinese. french missionaries came to viet 
 name and helped create the written language in order to spread christianity.  indonesian diversity- incredibly diverse. 700 different languages. they created a national language- bahasa indonesian- helped unify the country.  political geography-  colonialism in southeast asia- vietnam was seen as the front porch to the pacific- used to mekong to get into china.  vietnam- nan viet (means people of the south)- for some reason the people flipped the name. vietnam has had heavy chinese influence and has never been fully unified. post wwii vietnam wanted independence from the french.  ho chi minh- leader in vietnam- he fought against the japanese in wwii- seen as an ally. he became an enemy when he pushed for independence from the french. we became involved. north was communist- the south had more western influence. they were going to allow a vote- we technically lost- we were trying to fight communists- we didn’t put all our resources in (we fought a limited war). the north vietnamese objective was for independence they were fighting a total war and putting everything into it. ho chi minh was loved in both the north and the south (seen as founder). the ted offensive showed that we weren’t winning- we were losing in a political perspective.  since the 80s and 90s vietnam has become more capitalist.  laos- heavily affected by vietnam war. attacked just as much as vietnam. laos government was supporting vietnam. had more bombs dropped on it than all of wwii. there is a health affect even today from the craters made from the bombs- created standing water where diseases and mosquitos breed.  hmong- they were supported by the us during the war- left for themselves- many fled to the us –mid west has the highest concentration.  cambodia- because of the war cambodia’s structure broke down- pol pot rose to power- attempted to restart cambodia. they decided to leave the capital city with no technology- the starting with year zero. if you went against this you were killed- as were vietnamese and those who were considered “slower.” mass graves were discovered. 33% of the population was killed in the “killing fields.”  who saved cambodia? the vietnamese- they invaded in order to save cambodia.  thailand- affected because of prostitution. they were more used to “comfort” service men who were away from their wives. women with mental handicaps were often used as the 
 prostitutes. in the 1980s- thailand tried to make thailand the land of sex because so many prostitutes were left after the war. hiv has exploded here. since the 90s- prostitutes are required to get checked for hiv every 6 months. the north has been more affected by the hiv epidemic. 2 years ago a doctor has convicted of murder for using hiv infected needles to treat patients (this also happened in the north).  rural- urban divide- yingluck shinawatra tied to reform the rural areas- people in the urban area pushed here out and looked to undo the rural reform.  2014 military coup- military government in thailand  17,000 islands in indonesia- minangkabau- power and property are handed down through the female side of the female (matrilineal society).  papua- ethnically/religiously different from the rest of indonesia- pushed for independence  east timor- became independent from indonesia. a major oil line was drawn between indonesia and australia- east timor was able to get the percentages changed- they now have 80% of the oil line- australia has 20%  indonesia crime- piracy- is very heavy in this region. this happens in the straight of malacca- the lands start to bottleneck together so ships have to slow down. this makes it very easier for pirates to attack.  problem with jurisdiction over who should prosecute the pirates.  malaysia- unified because of convenience. the creation of malaysia- the federation of malaya included the federated area and non federate area. singapore was not brought in. brunei- was part of the british empire unto 1984- has one of the wealthiest leader in the world- he banned santa clause.  singapore- chinese majority- they were kicked out of malaysia- no singapore representatives- now one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
