The 19th century of China opened with a broad reform of institutions, particularly in the military system. As a result, the revolution occurs and “followed by the breakup of China as the leaders of autonomous armies fought for power” (Dreyer 1). Kuomintang Party stood against the Communist Party and waged a massive civil war mainly in Northeast part of China, “ending only with the victory of communists on the mainland in 1949” (Dreyer 1). In the middle of the civil war, the aggression of the Japanese dragged China into the tragedy of the Second World War.…

Although US intervention contributed greatly to China’s eventual victory in the Sino-Japanese war, the situation in China and the nature of the conflict was not massively affected by the contribution, and in reality the intervention had little impact on the internal affairs and overall success of the second United Front. Both before and after US involvement tensions were never relieved between the CCP and the GMD and so Japan remained a superior fighting force. Peace between the CCP and the GMD was regularly encouraged by foreign powers and in China in order to fight the Japanese, but if events such as the Xian Incident had not happened, or foreign powers had backed one party to take control. The country may have been much more united and in a greater position to fight the Japanese, but as it stands China’s contribution was not significant enough to account for Japan’s defeat, the conflicts nature did not change, and without the forced surrender of Japan China was on the way to losing the war.…

After reading Boxers and Saints, a fictional book about the Boxer Rebellion in China, I took some time to reflect on the second prompt. I firmly believe that fictional representations of historical events can explain the true historical events that took place. I believe that you can learn main points and basic concepts and even details from the fictional books, novels, and movies. However, I also believe that they have the will never hold the detail and truth that bibliographies, journals, and first person accounts do. Fictional accounts are far more appealing and can add deep perspective, but the pitfalls of fiction is that sometimes they do not include all facts, details, and accounts. I do not believe using solely fictional sources are a good method of teaching, but the combination of fiction and non-fiction pieces is the happy medium that can lead to a much deeper knowledge of the subject. While reading the Boxers and Saints I do believe that my knowledge of the Boxer Rebellion in China did in fact increase.…

When China signed the unequal treaties it altered the Chinese way of life for centuries to come. It affected every aspect of Chinese life including the economy, culture and politics. Citizens of China where angry with the government for going to war and causing China to go into debt, they only became more frustrated when China agreed to sign the unequal treaties seemingly easily. This caused the Chinese government to lose a lot of credibility which is something the Chinese government still struggles with today(1). Before the Opium wars began China was an isolationist country that functioned successfully on its own, however as the Opium wars began China became dependent on foreign goods this signified the end of China isolationist economy.…
The Boxer Rebellion was a series of fights between the U.S. and China around the early 1900s.…
So I will look at the impact of outside influence on China and how China reacted to the pressure. Finally, I will look at the impact of the Boxer Uprising. China’s first major change in policy with regard to the west was set with the Portuguese. The Portuguese first attempted to trade with China, there was an awful precedent that the rest of the West would follow. The Portuguese used force to get what they wanted with regard to trade, port access, and settlement. The Portuguese were considered like bandits, but the Chinese allowed for them to trade and eventually settle. The Chinese viewed themselves as superior and these foreigners as less than civilized. This was integral part of Chinese thinking and was a major factor in the reasoning in the way China dealt with the West. According to Wakeman, the Chinese viewed themselves as superior to all other societies, he states, “The Chinese did not stereotype all barbarians in a single undifferentiated category. They were acutely of the differences between Mongols khans....and Dutch merchants. But all barbarians were placed beneath the Chinese in an ideal world order of which their empire was the Central Kingdom”…
They could preach in China and made more Chinese became Christians. Chinese government was forced to let other nation garrison in China. Many people died due to the boxer rebellion. The Qing dynasty was much weaker than before. The Boxer Protocol removed the barriers of defense. The Boxer protocol didn't allow China to get ammunition for two years and it destroyed the fort in Beijing. It permitted foreign country to garrison in China. The eight nation alliance could garrison in Beijing and the fort from Beijing to Dagu would be destroyed. China gave other country a bad impression that Chinese people were rude after the Boxer Rebellion. Students who studied overseas were discriminated. Before, the boxers and most of people in China were having xenophobia ideals. After the eight nation alliance war, the boxers knew that they failed. Ethnic confidence were clouted. Chinese then became flatter and afraid of foreign countries. After the treaty of Nanjing, China compensated the eight nation alliance by a large amount of money. The products of other countries were also dumped to China and caused China to bust. The economy of China was declined because China had to pay a lot of money to each country of the eight nation alliance. The tax on many substances were controlled by other country which causes the income of Chinese government to decrease. People in foreign county could control many…

"Imperialism occurs when a strong nation takes over a weaker nation or region and dominates its economic, political, and cultural life.” (Thomas Caswell, 2012)I will study imperialism in China from the Europeans and imperialism in India from the British. There were both short-term and long-term impacts from imperialism, whether the lasted long or not. Imperialism, generally, was beneficial to a greater extent to the colonizer than to the colonized, however, despite the fact, the colonizer gave the colonized numerous negative impacts, imperialism was certainly beneficial for the colonized as well. Imperialism was surely very destructive to the colonized, but it was definitely beneficial and constructive as well, even if it left a limited impact.…

The Boxer Rebellion soul purpose was to liberate China from foreign influence. Foreign capitalists dictated corrupt government officials and controlled leading industrial parts of Northern China. Chinese overseers were upset over this issue and contemplated for a solution. A revolt was the key and the outcome of the Boxer Rebellion was disastrous for China and its dynasty. Countless officials were executed, extensive payments had to be made and in addition, foreign troops were stationed in China as the dynasty lost its control. To this extent, the Boxer Rebellion was a failure in its aftermath, although successful in its unification.…
