The late Qing Dynasty (1840-1911) was an important development stage in China's transformation from a traditional empire to a modern democratic republic. It was also a critical period when China faced the spread of Western power from the east, ushering in changes unseen in three thousand years. The government and the private sector all put forward proposals for salvation and survival. Various forces competed with each other, and society underwent drastic changes accordingly. Major changes were seen in all aspects. These changes had a profound impact on subsequent history and were a key moment in shaping modern China. This course strives to fully cover important issues in the history of the late Qing Dynasty, so that students can understand the development context of the history of the late Qing Dynasty, as well as the evolution and significance of major events, cultivate students' independent thinking and critical abilities on important historical events, and lay the knowledge foundation for future advanced special courses and research on the history of the late Qing Dynasty.
