The fundamental purpose of the Westernization Movement was to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

End mark: In 1895, in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated, marking the complete loss of naval strength of the Qing Dynasty and the bankruptcy of the 35-year Westernization Movement. A group of modern talents cultivated by the Westernists learned the advanced bourgeois ideas of the West and further disseminated these ideas in China, which not only impacted the traditional feudal ideology.

Moreover, it laid the ideological foundation for the activities of the Chinese bourgeoisie in the future, such as the reform and reform organized by Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others in the Guangxu Emperor, and the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen, and the Chinese bourgeoisie finally overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that this group of talents cultivated by the Westernists was actually the gravediggers of the Qing Dynasty.

Causes.

1) The Taiping Rebellion and foreign invasion impacted the rule of the Qing Dynasty;

2) The Westernists advocated "self-improvement through self-improvement" and maintained the rule of the Qing Dynasty;

3) The diehards stick to the old ways and blindly reject all foreign things;

4) After the establishment of the Prime Minister's Yamen, the Manchu rulers led by Cixi temporarily supported the Westernists, who were later powerful and appreciated by foreign invaders;

5) The expansion of the industrial revolution and the formation of a situation of "reconciliation between China and foreign countries" provided the possibility for the development of the Westernization movement.

Answer: Hello, the reason for the Westernization movement is that the Westernization movement is feudal. The guiding ideology of the Westernization Movement was to "take the middle school as the body and learn from the West as the application", that is, under the guidance of the feudal ideology, under the condition of maintaining the feudal superstructure and economic foundation, some modern enterprises should be developed to serve the maintenance of the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the new productive forces are incompatible with the feudal relations of production and its superstructure, and cannot be fully developed under the shackles of feudalism. The Westernists wanted to develop modern enterprises, but also adopted monopoly management, embezzlement of commercial shares and other means to suppress national capital; They not only want to cultivate Western-style talents, but also do not want to change the feudal imperial examination system.

This determined the fate of the Westernists' attempt to achieve the goal of maintaining and consolidating China's feudal rule by absorbing modern Western production technology.

The reason why the Westernization Movement failed to achieve its purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army was because it was deficient in content and purpose.

The shortcomings of the content are manifested in the fact that Li Hongzhang and other Westernists believe that China's code system far exceeds that of Western capitalist countries, but it is only backward, so they seek the way to prosperity and strength, and only learn the advanced gun-making and artillery-making technology of the West, establish a military industry, and build a modern national defense, but do not learn the advanced social system and ideas of the West.

The shortcomings in the purpose are manifested in the fact that it only defends the increasingly backward Manchu Dynasty, which deviates from the trend of historical development and is doomed to the fate of inevitable failure.

The immediate purpose is to save the survival ... The Westernization Movement in the 60s and 70s of the 19th century arose after the Opium War and the first batch of people who opened their eyes to the world such as Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan. That is what Wei Yuan said, "Master Yi's long skills to control Yi".

It should be to solve the situation of internal and external troubles at that time, and use the advanced production technology of the West to strengthen the army and enrich the country and get rid of the predicament.

We should learn from the West from internal and external troubles, seek to strengthen the country and resist insults, and explore the way to save the country and the people.
