History China’s history is a series of prosperity and poverty, war and peace. China is one of the countries where civilization was first developed. In fact, it has a recorded history that has lasted for over five thousand years. Slavery began in China at around the 21st century B.C., when melting and casting of elements was immensely popular. This is when the Chinese culture deeply flourished, as a number of great philosophers, one of them Confucius, emerged.
During the Tang Dynasty, China was at its peak of civilization. This was the time when Tang people traded with thousands of other people all over the world. During the year 1840, with the power of Great Britain, China was transformed into a semi-colonial and semi- feudal society because of the Opium war initiated against China. Britain’s power took over China because it was divided into spheres of influence. In 1949, the People’s Republic of China was established, driving away people to Taiwan. In 1978, China ended 5,000 years of self-seclusion as it began its Open Door Policy. |
