Xinhai Revolution - The First Opium War

Time: Monday Aug 29, 1842

Place: China

Details: After suffering its first defeat to the West in the First Opium War in 1842, the Qing imperial court struggled to contain foreign intrusions into China. Efforts to adjust and reform the traditional methods of governance were constrained by a deeply conservative court culture that did not want to give away too much authority to reform.
