Question

what was go east movement?

Answer 1

Hi friend..

Go East Movement:In the first decade of the twentieth century a ‘go east movement’ became popular in Vietnam. Early Vietnamese nationalists had a close relationship with Japan and China. They provided models for those looking to change, arefuge for those who were escaping French police, and a location where a widerAsian network of revolutionaries could be established. In 1907-08 some 300 Vietnamese students went to Japan to acquire modern education. These nationalists looked for foreign arms and help. They appealed to the Japanese as fellow Asians. Japan had modernised itself and had resisted colonisation by the West. Besides, its victory over Russia in 1907 proved its military capabilities. Vietnamese students established a branch of the Restoration Society in Tokyo but after 1908,the Japanese Ministry of Interior clamped down on them..

The go east movement occurred among Vietnamese nationalists in an effort to modernize Vietnam with the view of deposing the French rule and restoring the Nguyen dynasty. Approximately 300 intellectuals went to study in Japan following the Japanese success against Russia in 1907.
