A detailed version of the nightmare of a hundred years of modern Chinese history?

It refers to the period from 1840 to 1949, when China was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The country is not independent and unified.

1. From an external point of view, the country and the nation were deeply invaded by the foreign powers, and seized a series of privileges in China, such as building concessions, ceding land and paying compensation, dividing spheres of influence, and setting off a frenzy of carving up China. China is no longer independent, which undermines the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

2. From an internal point of view, since 1840, there have been successive wars, such as the Opium War, the Second Opium War, the First Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Nation Allied War of Aggression against China, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. It was not until the War of Liberation and the victory of the New Democratic Revolution that the Chinese people ushered in the long-awaited independence and reunification. It opened up a new era in Chinese history.

The 100-year nightmare in modern Chinese history refers to the First Opium War, the relocation of the Kuomintang regime to Taiwan in Nanjing from 1840 to 1949, and the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The early period was from the Opium War in 1840 to the May Fourth Movement in 1919, a total of about 80 years.

The period when it began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society (the 40s to the early 60s of the 19th century) was marked by two major historical events: the Opium War and the Taiping Rebellion.

The period of full formation (60s of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century) was characterized by the deepening of the national crisis, the Westernization Movement, the emergence of capitalism, the imperialist carve-up frenzy, the Wuxu Reform and the Boxer Rebellion.

During the deepening period (from the beginning of the 20th century to before the May Fourth Movement in 1919), there were great changes in all spheres of social life, especially in politics. The two major contradictions in Chinese society converge at the same level, and are embodied in a concentrated way in the contradictions between the broad masses of the people and the rule of the Qing ruling clique and the Beiyang warlords under the support of imperialism.

It is a 100-year history of humiliation from the Opium War --- 1840 to the founding of the People's Republic of China (1949).

From the Opium War in 1840 to the establishment of New China in 1949, it was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society for more than 100 years, and the people lived in water and fire.

It can be simply summarized as: the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, the invasion of foreign countries, the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, etc.

Hope it helps!

There should also be the destruction of the Old Summer Palace.

The historical period of modern history (1840-1949).

China's modern history is a history of humiliation full of disasters, backwardness, and beatings; it is a history of exploration by the Chinese people to explore the road to national salvation and realize freedom and democracy; and it is a history of the struggle of the Chinese nation to resist aggression, defeat imperialism to achieve national liberation, and overthrow feudalism to realize the prosperity and strength of the people.

Modern Chinese history can be divided into two phases:

1. The first stage was from the Opium War in 1840 to the eve of the May Fourth Movement in 1919, which was the stage of the old democratic revolution.

2. The second stage is from the May Fourth Movement in 1919 to the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, which is the stage of the new democratic revolution.

The 100-year nightmare refers to the history of more than 100 years from the Opium War in 1840 to the founding of New China in 1949, during this period of history is the most humiliating period in China, China fell into the abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, in this period, China has to face the military, economic, cultural aggression of foreign powers, and fight against the feudalism of the Qing Dynasty.

In December 1838, Lin Zexu was ordered to go to Guangzhou to ban opium, and forced to confiscate more than 2.37 million catties of opium, which was destroyed in public on Humen Beach on June 3, 1839.

In 1840, the British bourgeoisie launched the Opium War against China in the name of protecting opium.

In August 1842, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the shameful ---Treaty of Nanjing, the disgraceful alliance under the city, with the British, which was the first unequal treaty in modern Chinese history to lose power and humiliate the country. Ceded Hong Kong, paid an indemnity of 21 million silver dollars, and opened Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, and Shanghai as treaty ports.

In 1843, Britain and Qing signed the Treaty of Humen. Since then, China has been a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

In 1844, the United States and France forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Sino-US Treaty of Wangxia and the Sino-French Treaty of Whampoa

In 1854 and 1856, the British launched a war of aggression against China in 1856 under the pretext of the "Yarrow Incident" and the French under the pretext of the "Father Ma" incident, known as the Second Opium War.

In 1856, the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Tientsin with Britain, France, and Russia.

In 1860, Britain and France invaded China again, Xianfeng fled, and Britain and France robbed the "Old Summer Palace" of the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens and set it on fire. The gardens built by the Chinese people for more than 100 years have been reduced to ruins.

In October 1860, the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Beijing with Britain and France, and Tsarist Russia forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Treaty of Aihui, occupying more than 1 million square kilometers of Chinese territory, which was the biggest beneficiary of the Second Opium War.

In 1894, Japan launched a war of aggression against China, and in 1895, the Qing Dynasty and Japan signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Since then, imperialism has set off a frenzy to carve up China.

In 1898, China and Germany signed the Sino-German Treaty of Concession between China and Australia, and in 1901, the Eight-Nation Alliance, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands signed the humiliating Treaty of Xinchou with the Qing Dynasty.

Since the Opium War, more than 1,000 unequal treaties and agreements have been signed between China and the Empire.

Since then, China's splendid mountains and rivers have been fragmented, and none of the long coastline has been its own port, and imperialist robbers have done whatever they want on Chinese soil. This is the legacy of old China--- a history of humiliation...
