What were the historical events that humiliated China?
There were many historical events in which China suffered humiliation. The following are some of them: The Opium War (1840-1842): This war marked the official war between China and the Western powers and was also a major change in China's modern history. During the Opium War, China suffered from the invasion and blockade of the Western powers, which led to a sharp decline in China's social and economic status. Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864): The Taiping Rebellion was a peasant uprising aimed at overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Taiping Rebellion. However, due to the strong interference of the Qing government and the internal division of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the movement eventually failed. 3. The 1894-1895 War between China and Japan: This war was an imperialist war between China and Japan and a major event in modern Chinese history. Although China eventually won the war, the war brought huge losses to China, including a large number of deaths and economic losses. The 1898 reform was a political reform initiated by the Qing Dynasty officials and reformists to promote the country's modernisation and democratization. However, due to the opposition of the Qing government and the differences within the reformists, the reform eventually failed. 5. Colonialism (late 19th century and early 20th century): At the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, China suffered from the colonial rule of the great powers, including the colonial invasion and plundering of the great powers in China, as well as the control of the great powers on China's politics, economy, and culture. These historical events had a far-reaching impact on China, leading to the rapid decline of China's social and economic status, and also greatly hurting China's national pride.
