How did the Opium Wars Actually Happen? - All Parts 

China's pyramids

Why china never really industrialized during its imperial period would be a good watch

The Satsuma rebelion of Japan in 1877, or perhaps details of the sengoku period

First a conflict (like in this Gem video here), then a special episode about weaponry, strategy, and tactics in that conflict. That would be beyond great. About East Asia? Yes. Or from any other region.

yet it happens again nowdays...the western world its again banning and being unfair...

@@Rowlph8888 Hahaha, I don't know where you are from and why you came to this conclusion. I am Chinese, and the situation you mentioned is completely different from what I saw. The younger generation may be confused, but it is definitely not as common as you said. China has 1.4 billion people and is a very large country. Use your brain to think about it. If it were really like what you said, China would have been in chaos long ago

​@@Rowlph8888 The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, but after the Manchus controlled the Central Plains, they declared themselves to be the orthodox faction of China. The Qing government continued to use the traditional Confucian culture of the Han Chinese in terms of writing, administrative management, and culture, which can be said to have completely sinicized the Manchus. The Qing Dynasty also regarded itself as China to the outside world. Chinese culture has always been a culture that embraces all rivers and is inclusive. The ethnic groups around the Han ethnic group have basically been sinicized. You can see that there are 56 ethnic groups in China today, with the Han ethnic group being the main ethnic group, and most of the 55 ethnic minorities have already been sinicized. This is the true charm of Chinese culture, which encompasses everything. Foreigners find it difficult to understand this point, unless they learn Chinese and conduct in-depth research, otherwise it is difficult to understand the spirit of Chinese culture.

​@@rocketmonty9916well they wouldn't have gotten slapped around had they done that...

6 months late, really the wars were because the first "stock market crash" happened, or at least something very similar in effect, western powers where terrified and so they began trying to make colonies profitable, which failed but resulted in a surplus of opium, so they came to the conclusion that if they basically had a country that had to listen to their demands that they didn't have to put any money into besides a beginning investment in an idea of forced trade that was basically just a massive profit. It was highly effective and treated the stock market crashed effects, the demands of the qing empire was reasonable but the allies who were all suffering from the crash basically wanted any excuse to fuck over china for the silver they invested. Still a dick move

Ridiculous assumptions.I'm Western and I'm ashamed of this and I hope the entire human race will improve in the future.But when we have comments like yours here seeking petty revenge oon generations of people that have nothing to do with this, taking offence for previous generation when you didn't have 2 suffer anything that they suffered, I don't have any hope for the human species. The vast majority of Western Europeans are ashamed of this kind of activity, how could you not be when you see the results of addiction and the misery of death.But the Chinese here, don't seem to see how the Chinese government themselves were quite happy for trade to begin and continue, until the value of trade turned in the Brits favour, then they cut the trading relationship off entirely, showing not only that they didn't give a crap about the Chinese people in the 1st place, but that they cared even less about the Chinese people, when not taking any responsibility for their part in the Chinese People's misery in the 1st place, but also doing a stupid manoeuvre in a trading relationship with the country with 10 times the technological capability in everything, including warfare. Ultimately, the Chinese government has responsibility for the welfare of the Chinese people, the Brits and the French do not.In cutting off trading relationship in the way they did, it was obvious there would be repercussions, and there would be today, from every nation in such a position.The Chinese government, new repercussions would be exercised on the Chinese people and not themselves or their friends, who are protected in high places

China was weak due to technological and tactical capabilities of the british. It was largely agrarian in nature.

Yea they were backwards.

Europe had technological supremacy and China closed themselves off to foreign ideas. They had the attitude "we have everything we need, we don't need your barbarian ideas and products, China is the best and everyone else should kowtow to our emperor" (see: "Emperor Qian Long's Letter to King George III, 1793"). Not so different to where the new emperor is taking them today, really. (for the opposite: see the Meiji restoration of Japan)

by this time, the technological gap and the gap in military doctrine was HUGE. Just compare the ships on both sides. That's the best, most spectecular way to see this. China was many many decades (I say more than a century) behind the West. Plus, the West were colonial powers with a lot of combat experience on every level of their military forces.

@@Ghost-vi8qm now it’s the opposite 😂

The winners of WW2. These countries hold way exaggerated power at the UN. The veto power shouldn't exist.

It's got more to do with the mismanagement of relations with the growing nation of Germany in the lead up to the world wars, then the effect of those wars, than others catching up industrially. By the start of World War I USA was already producing more industrial output than Britain, but Britain was always going to be able to stay far ahead in money gained from trade, military power and because USA was heavily in debt to them. Independent studies show that it's likely that without the 2 world wars, Britain would still be militarily the most powerful country in the world, right now, but not by much and the USA would have been gradually making inroads over the century and the ascendance of the USA would eventually be inevitable. In our timeline, the US benefited from Staying out of the wars and being the only country that was actually growing stronger economically, whilst everyone else was dramatically getting weaker. Before the First World War United States was massively indebted to the Brits, for borrowing in order to develop its economy througghout the previous century. The wars massively Swapped the imbalance in the opposite direction. *Added to this was the US having the safety and time to develop the atomic bomb, which then became a massive threat and a deterrent, so the takeover was immediate. *The British Empire had tied up most trade routes in Britain's favour and gave Britain' Strategic advantage all over the globe in terms of reconnaissance, storing of military gear and presence in tactically beneficial areas, if attacked. These facets lways dramatically improve their circumstances compared to any nation, even with a vastly more numerous army or navy, which the US was obviously going to develop over the course of the mos20th century, if the world wars did not happen and the changes in our timeline didn't happen

That’s not true actually Britain maintains a major edge in technology over basically everyone and in economics. Even during the early 20th century Britain was economically and politically more important the literally everyone. Even today that still remains.

So a chinese tech company is not allowed to beat the Americans.

Britain and France were still both global powers a century earlier with advanced training and weaponry, the war may have been more bloodier but the outcome would've been the same.

They can't put the pieces together. It's ironic that China had this happen to them before. They learned from it, and used the same tactic on the West.

Considering how many of the comments are “tipping their hats to the Brits”, they mostly feel proud, instead of shamed, about what the west did. They wanna to portray themselves as a constant wining power that collapsed an foreign empire in order to justify their internal need for a sense of western superiority of some sort.

Probably rebellions generated by British Secret Service. They had many operations throughout China.

Because the domination system of the Qing dynasty was ultimately non-Legitimacy against 430 million Han Chinese became forcibly oppressed. They invaded mainland china 400 years ago after opening the gate of Shanhai Pass with collaborating Han traitor(Wu Sangui). Their regional- Eight Banners soldiers(駐防八旗) were stationed in each main cites and watched Chinese behavior. Manchu imperial family members married wealthy Mongols princess who traditionally and has served as religious teachers who Dalai Lama of Tebet. 430 million Han Chinese began to serve barbarian emperors non-related to their culture & history with cut their unique hair forcibly by savage nomads' order(薙髮令) in 1644, and have lost their unique-identity for 290 years under a ruthless-rule.

I think the main cause of decline is the Chinese civil war. Especially the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, which occurred in the most economically developed regions of China, resulted in the death of tens of millions of people. These led to the rapid collapse of the Qing Dynasty. Especially when Japan took advantage of the turmoil of the Qing Dynasty to launch the Sino Japanese War, it completely destroyed the Qing Dynasty in name only.

That is because the West completed the industrial revolution, and China, due to its conservative closed policy, China has been in the era of cold weapons agricultural society, if the Chinese government at that time was a very aggressive government, then the collection of China's huge human and material resources, in terms of weapons far superior achievements far beyond Europe
