Qing Dynasty

As much as the Mongols affected the worlds they conquered, those worlds also influenced China's social landscape. For example, the Mongols brought influences from the Persian, Islamic and Byzantine parts of the world (p 372). This influenced the way the chinese practiced medicine, architecture, science and many other aspects (p 372). The impact this had on a global level was that it created a system of contact between these different areas of the world that previously did not communicate as well prior. Increases in communication allowed for advancements in trade, commerce and technology. Connections with parts of Europe and Africa allowed for the exchange of ideas and practices that changed the cultural landscapes in all these areas due to the Mongolian

Before the arrival of western powers, China was very stable, agricultural, and ethnocentric. They had many factories that produced silk, cotton, and porcelain with their natural resources: salt, tin, silver, and iron mines. They had no interest of trade or interaction with foreigners. From the early eighteenth century, European and American Imperialism spread throughout China with a goal to extend their nation’s power. China was one of many territories that undertook the changes of New Imperialism. By 1912, the country was governed by outside nations: Great Britain (mostly), Russia, Germany, France, and Japan. Their influence on China resulted malignantly on the country’s economy, political ties, and lifestyle; in spite of the few

China has changed in certain ways and remained the same in others from the early Golden Ages to the late 1900s. China has experienced a series of cultural and political transformations, shaping the lives of many Chinese citizens. Culturally, the country’s art and literature hardly changed for almost eight hundred years. Along with their culture, China remained politically the same from the beginning of the Golden Ages all the way until the 1800s. On the other hand, China’s government and society were restructured after new leaders took over. From a monarch to total communism, China’s society had a multitude of new ideas and policies they had to adapt to.

China remains a current world super power that has been around for thousands of years. It was one of the first civilizations ever created and it has evolved into an enormous country. China is a large territory, but only 10% of the land can be farmed on. This continues to be a tremendous problem, especially with the large population that mostly lives in rural areas. In the past China was seen as a fragile nation that was still stuck in the past, although after the Four Humiliations this began to change. The Four Humiliations were a group of events that forced China to modernize due to the losses it faced. After the last of the four humiliations and the fall of the dynasty era during 1911, China began to catch up to the westernized world by modernizing their government, military, and education. The Chinese

The Ottoman Empire and the Qing Dynasty both had their chance at being a world superpower in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Like all empires, there were times of prosperity and times of despair. In 1908 and 1912, the Ottoman Empire and Qing Dynasty began to deteriorate, losing their dominance over other rising dominions through internal and external conflicts. Although both powers had similar patters of decline, it was the differences that distinguished the fall of the Ottomans in the west and the Qing in the east.

Foreign religions had a great impact during the Qing dynasty as they influenced a vast amount of regions in China. The religions inflicted internal conflicts within China, causing people to dislike the Qing government. However, when Sun Yat-sen established a republic in China, he resolved many of the conflicts that the Qing governments have developed between them and Chinese citizens.

The Qing dynasty (1916-1912) is the last imperial dynasty of China, it was consider as the most powerful country during the “golden age” ruled by Kang Xi and Qian Long, and it has over 400 million population and has the 1st ranked GDP in the world at the moment. The Qing has the supreme power at the time and has the significant influence in East Asian. However, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty made a humiliate history of China. The Qing dynasty doesn't fall suddenly, and the collapse of Qing is not just simply because domestic revolution and alien invasion. The failure of the Qing government is worthy to study, we need to take a deep step and explore the root cause of the collapse of Qing.

The Qing dynasty was also called the Manchu dynasty. The Qing dynasty lasted from 1644 to 1911/12. During the time the population went from 150 million to 450 million. 1636 was when the Qing dynasty was established. In 1644 Beijing was captured by the rebel leader Li Zicheng. Manchus helped and decided to take china for themselves.

One might wonder what life was like in China 300 years ago? Or even think about the aspects of life just 100 years ago? Others ponder the history of China, and how the country came to be. The Manchus, and their invasion of China played an enormous role in all of these thoughts. The Manchu invasion of China during the 17th century, was an extremely significant event in Chinese history, that left important impacts on China. It also helped to influence culture for years to come.

The Qing Dynasty had many challenges when ruling a majority Chinese based population. Although, initially the Manchus had control of the army and they also followed along with the Chinese's bureaucracy whereas their Mongol counterparts earlier did not. The Manchu's decision to continue the Chinese' bureaucracy was an important one as it allowed for them to be much more accepted by the Chinese population. The opium trade had severe effects in allowing the Manchu military to deal with the rebellions. However, in the 19th century, the ability not to meet modernization standards comparable to the foreign powers saw much weakness in the Manchu's military. As well, as the failure of the scholar-officials reporting much of the rebellions success due

Qing Dynasty has been ruled China for over hundred of years. They had been ruling since 1644 until 1911. By the end of 19th century, China was afflict by bankcruptcy and had rising employment. The cause of that was because China has failed a couple of times during the battles with the foreigners and it had resulted in a great humiliation for China. Qing Dynasty has became weaker and weaker over time. And the dynasty had finally fallen in 1911 because of the boxers action in 1900 until 1901 has fatally weakened the dynasty.

The overthrow of the Qing dynasty followed by the establishment of Republican China in 1911 signified the start of a new era. Despite frequent alternation in power among domestic warlords, democratic spirit thrived and culminated in the occurrence of the New Culture Movement in 1915. The movement was liberal and cosmopolitan until the outbreak of the May Fourth student demonstration in 1919 in response to the Paris Peace Conference’s decision to hand over the German concessions in Shandong to Japan. The May Fourth incident marked the turning point of the New Culture Movement. Since then the ideological gap among the intelligentsia had become increasingly widened, though they still united from time to time to attack government’s violations of human rights.
