The Qin (pronounced chin) Dynasty lasted from only 221-207 B.C., but is known for beginning the Great Wall, making the Terracotta Army, and standardizing the script. It is from their dynasty China received its name. After the rise and fall of several more dynasties and periods of war, the Mongols took over and made Beijing the capital. They prospered in trade and knowledge, as it was during this time Marco Polo and other Europeans traded using the silk road; furthermore, the inventions of old such as paper making, gunpowder, printing, and compasses were improved upon. It was by the 1840s that war came between Britain and China during the Opium wars. China had told Britain that they had no need for Britain's goods, but the British were importing silk, tea, and ceramics, in return for opium they grew in India. When China banned opium and dumped vast amounts into the sea, Britain attacked, and overcame, the Chinese military. This forced China to open up five ports and gave them Hong Kong. The Revolution of 1911 took place leaving room for warlords and the Nationalist Party, and in 1920, the Communist party was established.  Eleven years later, in 1931, Japan invaded the Manchuria region of China, and the Nationalists and Communists joined forces against Japan. However, by 1941, the two parties broke down and fought in a civil war, in which the Communists succeeded, sending the Nationalist to Taiwan. Mao Zedong led the Communists, creating The People's Republic of China, a authoritarian one-party state. He worked to bring China together and make it more powerful; he tried to industrialize China, however, due to the lack of people left in agriculture, the there were many famines killing more than 40 million people. He led it to the industrial power and communist nation it is today.]]> 2017-02-16 17:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/thephoenixm/3i75efzhl1zu/wish/154400988 thephoenixm https://padlet.com/thephoenixm/3i75efzhl1zu/wish/154715695
