Interesting answer: Not only in the history of China, but also in the global market, the Year of the Rat is the beginning of an extraordinary year, because the Year of the Rat, as the first year of the Year of gengzi in the lunar calendar, must have its own special features.
Great independence for Africa
When you look at the history of Africa at this stage, it is not difficult to find that some countries in Africa have shown one square shape after another, and their countries are completely divided according to the water potential and according to the mountains, and there are many, many small countries.
So why did Africa become many, many small countries, rather than a large unified country, because of its independence in 1960.
In 1960, the Year of the Rat, Africa became officially independent, and this time independence was directly the independence of 17 countries.
What is the state of this means that Africa has since begun to formally disintegrate, and each small country has its own right to choose and act autonomously.
Of course, in 1960, the development of our side also made rapid progress, such as our nationally designed sounding rocket flying altitude exceeded 8 kilometers.
In the history of China's development, this point is recorded, which is the first step in China's sounding rocket technology.
The Boxer Rebellion
If we go backwards for another 60 years from 1960, that is, in 1900, it is not difficult to find that this year seems to be closely related to the Eight-Power Alliance's war of aggression against China.
The reason why we do not call it the Eight-Power Alliance's War of Aggression against China, but the Boxer Rebellion, is because there was a Xinugou Treaty that followed the Eight-Power Alliance's War of Aggression against China, and this most important Xinugou Treaty was signed in 1901, and we generally tend to call the two events of 1901 and 1900 as one incident.
In 1900, there was a new mysterious team called the Boxers, the Boxers claimed to be invincible, water and fire, able to make weapons bend, able to annihilate the enemy 800 miles away, able to tear the enemy apart, and so on, and the final result led to the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, because Cixi's blind trust directly declared war on all empires.
In addition to these memorabilia, of course, in the year 1360, 1120, and many more years
Over the years, there have been many, many big events. In view of this, we will not elaborate on it one by one.
