Because of the policy of closing the country to the outside world in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's capabilities in all aspects were much weaker than those of Western countries, so the wars with Western countries at the end of the Qing Dynasty ended in failure. It is because in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the imperial court pursued a policy of closing the country to the outside world, which led to the Chinese civilization not advancing, but regressing a lot, so to this day, it still needs to continue to work hard to make up for the shortcomings brought about by the previous policy and catch up with other developed countries as soon as possible. <>
As soon as we recall the events at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to get angry and feel extremely bad, because of the policy of the imperial court at that time, the country was bullied by others, occupied by others, and it was necessary to take out the silver to compensate the other party. <>
When we look at the war at the end of the Qing Dynasty, especially the war between the Qing Dynasty and Western countries, we see a really sincere nest fire, which basically ends in the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, and then cedes the land and pays compensation, which is simply weak. The reason why it has been oppressed by Western countries at that time is because the Qing Dynasty cut off relations between the country and other countries, cut off contacts, and thought that it was very strong, so it closed itself off from the country, resulting in not knowing that the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Qing Dynasty is still in the complacent nature of its own backward civilization. <>
Therefore, since the Opium War, in the many wars with Western countries at the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the weakness of military strength, resulting in defeat after defeat and continuous surrender, the Western powers have set their eyes on the soft persimmon of the Qing Dynasty, ravaged at will, put forward all kinds of unreasonable demands at will, signed various unequal treaties, constantly ceded land and paid compensation, constantly made concessions, and constantly accommodated the unreasonable demands of Western countries.

Because the Qing Dynasty is relatively backward, the national strength is declining, the rulers are more rotten, they don't like to learn the advanced knowledge of others, their character is more cowardly, they don't know how to resist in the face of others' bullying, and they lack the quality of resistance.

Because the Qing Dynasty was underdeveloped in science and technology, Western countries had already used hot weapons, and the Qing Dynasty at that time still used cold weapons, and the whole country and ** were very corrupt at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Personally, I don't think that's the only reason.
First of all, except for Germany and Italy. Let's take a look at the Britain, Spain and other countries mentioned above, these countries have a common feature, that is, they are all coastal countries, and their access to the sea is not like China, Russia and other countries, and their access to the sea has no restrictions, so after various countries realized this problem, they also frantically developed their navies, which made great progress in the navigation field of the whole world, which is the pillar of their expansion. Germany is still left, although it is said to be a Central European country, but still through land operations and various developments, it finally got its own small piece of the pie. >>>More
