The reason why the Ming and Qing dynasties were invaded by Western colonizers

Qing Dynasty's own reasons: 1The Qing Dynasty lagged far behind the West economically, scientifically, technologically, and militarily.

2.The Qing Dynasty was a feudal country, and the feudal system was corrupt and backward, and it was no longer suitable for the trend of social development, which made the Qing Dynasty weak and incompetent.

3.The Qing Dynasty closed itself off from the country, failed to understand the form of world development, was short-sighted, and rested on its laurels.

4.The Chinese population is large and the market is vast.

External causes: 1. The Industrial Revolution in the West, a significant increase in productivity, and the rapid progress of the economy, science and technology, and military technology.

2.The productive forces of the West have increased dramatically, so the capitalist countries need a wider market to meet the needs of capitalist development. However, the policy of closing the country to the outside world has undermined this need.

3.Most Western countries have already carried out bourgeois revolutions and established capitalist systems, so the West has a more advanced system and more scientific decision-making.

The cowardice and repeated compromises of the rulers gave the Western powers even more unbridled ambitions; The rulers are blindly optimistic and blindly believe that everything in their country is developing well, but they do not have the awareness to humbly learn the advanced science and technology of the West; In addition, European countries were just at the time of the rise of the Renaissance and other developments, and they were still lacking in material materials, and various products were not widely sold, so they intended to open up the vast market of the East for them to develop their economies and obtain more benefits. And when they ascended to this rich land, they were dazed by all kinds of abundant materials, so their greed became more and more wild, and they seized on the weakness of the rule, and then their development slowly evolved into bad behaviors such as forcible occupation.

The main reason is that China was the most populous country in the world at that time, the first empire in Asia, when the Ming and Qing dynasties (mainly the Qing Dynasty), foreign countries had conquered and colonized the Americas and Africa, and for China, and even Asia had not been touched, because of the large population in Asia, rich in raw materials, and at the same time the vast territory, which attracted the colonialists led by the British...

Because he was backward, he was beaten.

It seems to be the Qing Dynasty.

If we are backward, we will be beaten, and development is the last word.

Closing the country is the culprit!

In modern history, many Asian countries have become colonies of Western countries, and China in the late Qing Dynasty was also targeted by Western powers, but it was not completely reduced to a colony of Western powers, mainly because of China's strong historical and cultural accumulation and comprehensive strength.

In the late Qing Dynasty, China was blind and arrogant, refusing to open to the outside world, and it was not until the Opium War in 1840 that it was forced to open the door to the outside world. China's thousands of years of feudal history, Confucianism and culture have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is this unparalleled national pride that made the rulers at that time blindly arrogant, completely did not believe that there would be a stronger than China home existence, so there was no awakening in consciousness, with the gradual rise of the capital of the Western powers, the domestic market has been unable to meet their needs, so began the pace of foreign expansion, on the one hand to obtain resources, on the other hand to open up the market.

Although the politics of the late Qing Dynasty at that time had tended to be corrupt, a strong national consciousness was deeply rooted and could not be disintegrated overnight, so it was not easy for the Western powers to establish colonies in China.

In addition, if the colonies wanted to really change a country, culture was more important than force, and in China at that time, it was difficult for the Chinese people to accept the ideas and concepts transmitted by Western missionaries, so naturally there was no way to really change a country.

Then there is the economic aspect, China is a vast country, a vast country, rich in resources, larger than many Western countries, and the Western powers need a strong market in China more than domination. With the rise of the Western powers, their own markets could no longer meet the growing economic needs and had to expand their markets outward, so the establishment of new colonies was beneficial and harmless for them.

In short, the establishment of a new colony is by no means an overnight thing, although the late Qing Dynasty ** became increasingly corrupt, but no matter from the political, economic or cultural background, China has not completely become a colony of the Western powers.

In the late Qing Dynasty, China's economy was still its own self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, which played a certain role in resisting the behavior of foreign dealers, and it was difficult for foreign goods to enter the Chinese market, resulting in China's territory not completely degenerating into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

It was because China occupied a particularly wide area, and because people had a sense of resistance at that time, the Chinese army resisted with some Western countries, and there were some internal contradictions among the Western powers, so it did not become a colony.

Because China was often large and vast, the Western powers had not completely devoured it, and there was also a salvation movement of those who wanted to survive, so it was not completely reduced to a colony.

They conspired with the Ming Dynasty to die, just like the United States is doing now. That Matteo Ricci was the biggest spy, he was a doctor, but there happened to be opium from South Asian countries.

During the Vinh Le period, Vietnam was occupied and Xuan Duc later withdrew.

4. When you eat 20 bowls of rice, it is equivalent to 20 bowls of rice calories. 5. Who would have thought that this 16-year-old girl was just a 12-year-old girl 4 years ago. 6. While Chinese are sleeping, most Americans are working.

7. When the butterfly flapps its wings twice in the southern hemisphere, it will fly slightly higher. 8. According to statistics: most of the people who give birth out of wedlock are women.

9. If you save money for a pack of cigarettes a day, you will be able to buy 10 packs of cigarettes in 10 days, 10. When you are hit on the left side of your face, your left side of your face will hurt. 11. When a person is killed, he will die. 12. There is a big mistake in the way English is taught in China, and even elementary school students in the United States can speak English fluently.

。。It's all common sense, don't thank me。。

Mongolia, Houjin, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal and many more.

Around 1600, a new era was about to come to China. For the first time, a large number of Western explorers, merchants, and missionaries brought the seeds of a new civilization by sea. And the Russians, who had already crossed Siberia, advanced to the Manchurian border.

A major shift within China is also coming. The Ming Dynasty, which came to power in 1368, had long since passed its peak and declined sharply. And it was plagued by the dictatorship of eunuchs, moral degradation, political corruption, the declining world, high taxes, and famine.

This dust ruler means that Chinese history has come to change dynasties again.

Led by Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, two bandits have been rampant in most of the country for 20 years, causing endless disasters and widespread turmoil. Taking advantage of the decline and general chaos of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchurians, a foreign tribe in the northeastern borderlands, rose up to challenge the Ming regime. And eventually established a new dynasty in China, the historically hard-working Manchurians, a branch of the nomadic Jurchen tribe who lived in present-day northeastern China and lived by fishing and hunting.

In the 12th century, his people had established the Jin Dynasty, which threatened the survival of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although the Jurchens were conquered by the Mongols in the mid-13th century, they regained some of their former independence under the Ming emperor.

The Ming emperor divided them into three tribes: Jianzhou, Haixi, and Savage, who presented tribute such as horses, furs, and ginseng to the Ming court in exchange for Chinese agricultural products. Geopolitics played an important role in the later development of the Jurchens.

The area where they live is located to the north of Korea, and the east and east of Liaodong are to the north. Since the Han people had already settled in Liaodong, the privet people had a certain understanding of the life and system of the Han people through long-term observation. They were also gradually influenced by the way the Han people lived and ate.

After the middle of the 16th century, more and more Han Chinese crossed the border and taught the Jurchens how to cultivate the land and build castles. The resulting economic and technological progress. It has greatly changed the characteristics of the Jurchen nomadic society in the past.

Later, the Jurchen lord of Jianzhou was promoted to the commander of Jianzhou Wei by the Ming court for his meritorious service in assisting the Ming Dynasty to quell the war on the eastern border, and was given the surname "Li".

Later, the Ming court divided Jianzhou, Wei was the left guard of Jianzhou, and the right guard of Jianzhou were both controlled by the Han people and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. In 1574, Jue Chang'an, the governor of the left guard, and his son Takshi made an alliance with Li Chengliang, the brazen commander, to pursue the unruly right guard Dudu. In 1582, a second crusade was launched against the son of the Governor of the Right Guard, and in the ensuing melee, Kyaw Chang An and his son Tak Pai Yu Gao Shi were killed.

After that, there was fierce internecine fighting among the Jurchens. By 1583, Takshi's 25-year-old son, Nurhachi, was victorious in an intra-clan battle. Won the right to succeed his father as governor.
