Before i started to study at Political Science Department, i had a very few knowledge about China and its past. After i started to study in my department i gradually dived inside of China and Chinese, this was a another kind of world i have never saw and dreamt before. When i continued to read more articles and books about China i have realised that i became a small part of China or maybe China became a small part of me. I focused more on Chinese history, because i need to learn how China started and where China started to make its first and important steps for Todays Modern China. I am sure that the steps in the past still effects China’s policy and daily life. In order to have a understanding of China i just first started to understand the past of China. I know China has very long history, it is impossible to know very detailed and read all the sources from A to Z. My aim is to find the key points and dig them out for people who wants to understand more about China and Chinese Society.

 

As a Turkish master student i am trying to know more and more during my study about China. In Turkey unfortunately we dont have many books about China, as a Turkish i am so sad that we just need to read the books from other countries or very simple boks about China. After i dived in to Chinese world i saw that today all the steps of China looks like the steps in the past. It is just the different era and different way of using the methods. Today many people doesn’t know about China and they can not distinguish the Chinese style improvement in the Politics or Economics, as a foreign student i am sure that i will catch more points about China and try to open the curtains of a secret society for Turkish people.

 

In my paper i have started to give some basic informations about China and the course of a 60 years old Chinese history, why i choiced this topic? Because i saw that in this period China met with West and China became a colony of Westerners. This 60 years effected China’s future and opened the way to fall of Qing Dynasty, afterwards another period started that ıs the Republican period of China in 1911. I wanted to focus on this topic and try to give more information about that periods life and affairs. Late Qing Dynasty is the first steps to know West and adopt their way of development. In this period Chinese people learned to fight with foreigners and learned to be together, they started the hate foreigners, maybe the most important was; they started to solve their problems in theirself. They realised that they are undeveloped. They surrendered to West for a while. This is a period was awakening of China, however first effects was so sorrowful and has full of pain, tears and imperialisms bad effects on society. I just wanted to pointed out the sorrow of 60 years just the enterance of a new era. But the worse has not happened, this was just the beginning of the first tears of China.

 

 I just wanted to show the reader how Western world used China and Chinese people. This period reveals many unknown facts about China, i just made a very small scale research about that period. I used many resources from Internet. Also i borrowed many books from our library. One of the key resource in paper is my files, since i started to study in Political Science Department i collect many resources from every source. I try and continue to understand China. I wish in my paper i could give the reader basic understanding about Chinas 60 years period, even i did not use my mother tongue Turkish i tried to compose a undestandable paper.

This period was the changes period for Chinese people, in the beginning of 18 th century China was meeting with foreigners, this effected the social life and economic life of Qing Dynasty. Before the contact of foreigners China had a own way of life most effected by Confucianism. Qing Dynasty is a key point of Chinese society, in this period there is a big break up in the history and China was started influenced by foreigners. Thus China stepped in a new period that was the one of the worse period in its history.Rebellions, foreign pressure, stagnations on the politics and economic affairs was about the start.The Ch'ing period was the era in which China came into conflict with Europe. Spreading around the globe, Europeans more and more confidently asserted economic monopolies and political power all around the glob
