Synopsis

The Outbreak in China: Its Causes examines how a foreign crisis grew from many pressures inside China, not a single event. It explains what sparked anti-foreign sentiment and how reform attempts shaped the moment.

In this analysis, the author traces a complex mix of poverty, government corruption, and a history of limited contact with the outside world. It outlines how imperial decisions and regional power struggles fed a rising anti-foreign mood, leading to a large-scale upheaval. The book also looks at the role of missionaries, the response of Western powers, and the way China’s internal politics shaped the crisis.

- Learn how poverty and unequal wealth distribution helped set the stage for unrest.
- See how the empress dowager’s policies and key leaders influenced the push against foreigners.
- Explore how reforms, militarization, and foreign concessions affected perceptions and actions.
- Understand how foreign missions and Western diplomacy intersected with Chinese politics at the time.

Ideal for readers of early modern China, diplomacy, and the study of how internal and external pressures collide in times of crisis.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction RECENTLY the eyes of the world have been directed toward China as never before. The unprecedented anti-foreign uprising has taken us by surprise, arid found us at first quite unprepared to cope with it. All great cataclysmal catastrophes, however, are the result of forces that have been silently and secretly at work. So is it with this eruption inC hina. The missionaries, who live in closest touch with the people, and hence naturally know the temper of their minds, had been predicting for a long time that we were on the eve of the outburst of a mighty conflagration. The North China Daily News, the leading paper of theE ast, also read aright the signs of the times, and uttered many warnings as to what might be expected.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
