Covering the period of dramatic shifts and surprising transformations which comprise China's modern history, the book spans from the founding of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) to the present day. It introduces readers to important but often overlooked events in China's past, such as the bloody Taiping Civil War (1850-1864), and also sheds new light on more familiar landmarks in Chinese history, such as the Opium War (1839-1842), the Boxer Uprising of 1900, the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, the Tiananmen protests and Beijing Massacre of 1989, and China's rise to economic superpower status in the 21st century. A new chapter for this edition brings the story into the era of Xi Jinping. -- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a China $x History. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Qing dynasty, 1644-1912. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Republic, 1912-1949. 651 0 $a China $x History $y 1949- 700 1 $a Wasserstrom, Jeffrey N., $e editor. 830 0 $a Oxford histories. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C974C5DE68C411EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
