4. Imperialism in China

5. China Responds to Pressure from the West :
At first, China excluded foreigners in an effort to preserve traditional beliefs.
Economic pressure forces China to open to foreign trade

9. Other Nations Step In: China’s weaknesses were noticed by the world
China was repeatedly attacked
Peace treaties gave foreigners increasing control
“Spheres of Influence” were created
Regions in which foreign nations controlled trade
Open Door Policy allows all nations to trade with China
China is not colonized, but is still controlled

10. Chinese Nationalism Grows:
Boxer Rebellion (1900)

Rebelling against foreign influence
An international army of Europeans, Japanese, and Americans put down the revolt.
Though unsuccessful, it led to increased nationalism
China would remain at the mercy of outside interests until after World War II.
