What it concludes

- The First Opium War and the subsequent Treaty of Nanking marked the beginning of China's Century of Humiliation through unequal treaties and foreign concessions.
- The Taiping Rebellion resulted in an estimated 40 million deaths, making it one of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
- The Boxer Rebellion and the resulting Boxer Protocol imposed crippling indemnities on China, representing its greatest humiliation yet.
- The 1911 Revolution and the abdication of Emperor Puyi in 1912 brought an end to over two thousand years of imperial rule and established the Republic of China.
- The 4th of May 1919 protests served as a major watershed in China's march towards nationalism and radicalized intellectuals towards Marxism and communism.
