The Qing Dynasty: The Decline of the Chinese Empire
14.99 €
The emperors of the Qing dynasty are the last monarchs in the history of China. During their reign, the Celestial Empire reached the peak of its power, which influenced the future fate not only of the country, but also of the monarchical house itself.
However, the stronger the state became, the weaker became the position of the ruling dynasty, whose interests were directed towards the European powers. Higher taxes, widespread corruption, natural disasters leading to bad harvests, abuse of power by the ruling elites and greater expansion of the West all led to popular unrest. In 1911, a revolution began, marking the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the Republic, which lasted until 1949.
Which of the emperors of the dynasty ascended the throne at the age of five? What do the Qing Dynasty and the Forbidden City have in common? Who forged his father's will to ascend the throne? When did the literary inquisition in China come into existence? What was the reason for the creation of the White Lotus? Why did the opium wars last for several decades? What caused the Xinhai Revolution to begin and what was its outcome?
The Qing was the last and most controversial dynasty, whose rise and fall gave rise to the modern Middle Kingdom.
