Earl History

China is one of the oldest countries in the world (4,000 years ago). During the Stone Age, small independent clans made up China.

In 221 BC the Qin Dynasty, who lasted for 20 years, succeeded where no one else had. With war, they unified China. The Emperor’s name was Shi

Huangdi

.

He

spent a lot of

time and people to

find the Elixir of Life.

Huang-Di

died from mercury overdose. H

e

built an army made of clay to protect him in the afterlife called the Terracotta Army. He also started the construction of the Great Wall

.Slide3

Later History

One of the first foreigners to see China was Marco Polo who left after hearing stories of Kublai Khan. This established the Silk

Road.

The Manchus were the last Dynasty. They lasted from 1600-1900. The last century of their rule was China’s weakest historical point being dominated by Japan, Europe, Russia, and the United States.

China did not want any foreigners in their country. They felt that their dynastic government had completely failed them. QUESTIONSSlide4

Boxer Rebellion

Boxer Rebellion- After many years of oppression, the Chinese began a rebellion to kick the many different foreigners out of their country.

A faction of Chinese rebels, known as the boxers, believed that they were mystically immune to foreign weapons, making them invincible.

Foreigners and Chinese Christians fled and were under siege for almost two months by the boxers. The foreign powers regrouped, and multiple countries sent their military in, killing all the boxers. China became the world’s doormat.Slide5

Change

After seeing the numerous failings of the former Manchu Dynasty, the people began to demand a change in their government, and to have a voice in their own government. There was a Civil War to determine control.

The Nationalist Party led by Chang Kai-Shek fought the Communist party led by Mao Zedong. The Civil War lasted twenty years. There was a break in the Civil War, when Japan invaded China, and absolutely began to destroy much of the country. The US began to aid China. Slide6

Communism

Mao (Crazy and Evil) and the communists ended up winning the war, and changing the name of the country to The People’s Republic of China. The Nationalist fled to Taiwan

.

Mao did his best to bring China into a modern, industrial, and communist country. He forbid private production, made gigantic people’s farms, and worked extensively with steel. Mao forced food to move to the city. This left the majority of the people with no food. Approximately 30,000,000 people died. Slide7

Early Japan

Japan was influenced by Chinese culture. Japans most popular part of history was the age of the samurai which occurred when the central government became weak, and local feudal lords gained power who the samurai worked for. Eventually the title of shogun developed, who brought more control.

The Japanese fought off the Mongol led China twice due to what was called a divine wind, or kamikaze, and several other countries. This came to an end when the US forced Japan to trade. Slide8

Entering WWII

Japan did not want to be embarrassed again, so they began to modernize, industrialize, and militarize very fast. The emperor also gained power back, and the people looked to him as a living god.

As Japan was taking more colonies to gain resources, the US began to have a problem as they were taking areas that were in their sphere of influence. The US tried to restrict trading with them and cut off needed resources. WWII was happening at the same time as this in Europe. Slide9

WWII

The Japanese responded by attacking the naval base of Pearl Harbor. Multiple American scientists encouraged the President to research the Atom Bomb to defeat Germany. Germany lost in May 1945.

We defeated Japan in multiple battles and destroyed many cities; destroying their ability to make war. They would not surrender because we would not agree to Emperor Hirohito’s safety.

We were worried about Russia taking Japanese territory. When Russia invaded, we dropped two Atomic Bombs. Slide10

Genghis Khan

Mongolia used to be made up of a series of small clans, all with a very similar culture primarily focused on the importance of the horse. Everyone was an expert rider and archer. The compound bow was the most powerful weapon in the world at the time.

Temujin’s

father was poisoned when he was nine years old. He was the rightful leader of the clan, but the people refused to follow him. He, his mother, and brothers were on their own. He was captured and enslaved, but escaped.Slide11

Genghis Khan II

When he married he unified two clans. He began a long and successful plan to unify the Mongol people. Once Mongolia was unified, he forced different clans to live together, and enforced policies of extreme tolerance.

The Mongols began expanding rapidly through brutal methods. No country could compete with the horse and archer. They would beat multiple small cities, letting them escape into a large city, surround it, and wait till they ran out of resources. Middle East, China, Russia.Slide12

Mongolia

After the Mongolian empire weakened, the country was conquered by China, and then the Soviet Union. When the USSR invaded they destroyed and hunted everything sacred and important to the Mongols, first on the list was Genghis Khan’s spirit banner. It disappeared. The Mongols’ biggest sports are archery, wrestling, bow.

Mongolia is still not very industrial. It relies on livestock for money.

Taiwan is very industrial, and makes money from a lot of high tech items. Slide13

Korea

Korea is a very small peninsula just south of China. For the vast majority of its history, it has been a colony until WWII.

Soon after, the country argued over the government. The North supported a communist government (backed by the USSR). The South supported a noncommunist government (backed by the USA). The war never officially ended. Very tense relations between the two.

South Korea is our ally, and North Korea is attempting to build nuclear weapons and has a dictatorship that kills thousands of people. Slide14

JAPAN!

127,000,000 people. They rebuilt their country with state of the art tech, giving them a giant economy.

Tokyo is the capital and the main economic center. Japan’s culture is unique. It is a blend between East and West. Some still practice very historic Japanese traditions. Most regard Kyoto as Japan’s cultural capital. Western traditions- sports, clothes, music.

Japanese students usually go to school six days a week, short vacation. First nine years of school are free. High School 2k-4k.Slide15

More Change and Same

In recent history, China’s government has changed, becoming more capitalist, and have tried to figure out how to better the lives of the people, but the country still comes first. China does have the fastest growing economy in the world. People are paid very low wages. The

gov

still has control over media.

Most people in China have rural job including growing rice which is labor intensive. The Northeast is industrial. The Southeast is Agricultural. The West has many mountains and desert. Slide16

Culture

Because China is such an ancient society, many cultural practices are very old and have a very rich history. The Chinese were the first to invent paper, printing, compass, and gunpowder.

China is a very diverse place regarding religion and ethics. Confucius was one of the oldest and most important philosophers in Chinese history. He stressed the importance of education, order, the importance of hierarchy, and respecting authority. Taoism is based on the importance of the individual and lack of government. Buddhism. Slide17

Healthcare

China is the biggest country in the world with 1.3 billion people. The US has .3 billion. Providing basic services to the people is a big challenge.

China has one of the most unique health care systems in the world. They have a private and public system, and have put certain laws in place that prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of the people. The rural poor have specific programs. They also have a system of ancient medicine techniques like herbal remedies and acupuncture.
