Using sources from that period and earlier it addresses key themes on the nature of Qing rule. These include the defeat by the British in the Opium Wars, the twin-track administration of Manchus and Han Chinese, the rise of Chinese military leaders in southern China, the purchase of office and endemic corruption, the challenge of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the failure of political reform. There are new insights on all the Qing emperors and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled China between 1861 and 1908.Brill's Humanities in China Library8.ChinaHistoryQing dynasty, 1644-1912Electronic books.300900Zhu Weizheng1067315Dillon Michael1949-642984NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511324703321Rereading modern Chinese history2550894UNINA
