Vincenza Cinzia Capristo

Academicus International Scientific Journal, 2019, issue 19, 95-109

Abstract: This article starts from the European misgivings, founded or not, about a foreign invasion. It underlines how this fear has always been present in the old continent and how it can be observed from a different point of view. In fact this short essay deals with the fear of �yellow people� in Europe between 1800 and 1900 and with the role played in influencing Europeans� imaginary and fears by missionaries and war correspondents in the Far East. History that should be magistra vitae ends up being a lesson we never learn. The main events analyzed in this paper are the Boxer rebellion and the Russian-Japanese war.
