Synopsis

""The Anti-Foreign Riots in China in 1891"" is a historical account of the violent unrest that occurred in China during the late 19th century. Written by the North-China Herald, the book provides a detailed description of the events that led to the riots and the aftermath. The riots were sparked by a combination of factors, including economic hardship, political instability, and growing anti-foreign sentiment. The book describes the attacks on foreign businesses, missionaries, and diplomats, and the response of the Chinese government and foreign powers. It also explores the underlying causes of the riots, including the unequal treaties imposed on China by foreign powers, the opium trade, and the Boxer Rebellion. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of China and the impact of foreign intervention on Chinese society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Zbc Entt3F oteton IR fots. INTRODUCTION. THE RIOTS: THEIR CAUSES AND REMEDIES. INGE the foreign war of i860, with the exception of the anti-foreign wave of 1870 which culminated in the Tientsin massacre, nothing so serious has happened to foreigners in China as the organized Riots of 1891, beginning in the Yangtze-valley and stretching from Shanghai to I chang and from Canton to the A moor. This antagonistic movement )ersistcd for ten mogxhs to threaten the security of foreigners, if indeed we may dare feel safely out of it yet. True, only two foreigners lives were lost, but the lives of hundreds and even thousands of foreigners widely scattered over the Empire were threatened for months by violentp Uds attributing all sorts of barbarous and horrible crimestc TtHc foreigners, especially to missionaries, and calling upon all loyal, honest, and good men to rise up, bu Tntheir houses and kill them clean out of the land; while hundreds of native Christians were massacred, thousands more were threatened with all sorts of hom ble deaths. The Hunanites threatened to butcher Christians, foreign and native, like so many animals, slice them up into pieces weighing one catty each and divide them to be feasted on! Dates were fixed on once and again and yet again for the general rising and massacre, making the long tension too much for some to bear. Many inland missionaries moved to the Ports till the worst should be passed.

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.
