History of China on Dipity.
China has a long history. Much of it was spent under imperial rule. This was due to the fact that Ying Zheg was able to unite all of China when he conquered the other six tribes of China. China kept it self shut off from the world for a long time and let very few foreigners in. However, the Opium War forced China to open itself more to foreigners. They had to open five new trading ports for westerners and Britain gained control of Hong Kong. China did not like the foreigners. Their dislike was shown through the Boxer Rebellion in which Chinese peasants went after foreigners. The Boxer Rebellion and the Opium War weakened the Quin rule. The Quin would be the last imperial rulers of China. The Chinese revolution led to the formation of the Republic of China. The Republic of China was supposed to be a democracy, but it turned into a dictatorship. Another civil war broke out this time between the Nationalists and the Communists. The Communists won the People’s Republic of China was formed. This is the China that we know today.
