Corruption and Communism: Modern China

The achievements and developments of China stand as a major reason why historians separate the history of Eastern and Western Civilization. China developed in ways not easily understood by the West, with a trajectory of both progress and regression, power and weakness which both invited the West's interest while simultaneously rejecting their influence. This course seeks to explain why China has developed into the nation it is today, beginning with the 17th century and the late Ming Empire, up to the dictatorship of Mau Tse-Tung. In between we examine fascinating and significant events such as the Opium Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Chinese Civil War of the 20th Century.
