China Pre-20th Century (Pre-1900s)

following "Opium Wars" in 1840s, 1850s and late 1800s, China experienced great humiliation and dissatisfaction
more powerful foreign countries had large spheres of influence in China, with impact on trade --> provoked Boxer Revolution of 1898
in the early 1900s, heavy taxation and corrupt government officials also created dissatisfaction amongst peasants and workers, who suffered greatly
suffering incited revolution in 1911, which the entirety of China was swept under
as a result, the Chinese republic (NOT the PRC) was formed, with Sun Yat Sen as leader of National Assembly
