This unit studies the Qing Dynasty from its founding in 1644 to the last emperor's abdication in 1912. At its height the Qing was a flourishing empire; its military campaigns created the map of China today; an agricultural revolution saw the population boom and the court drew scholars from around the world. Yet in the nineteenth century foreign gunships and domestic rebellions threw the empire into crisis. An analysis of that crisis is crucial to our understanding of China today.
