At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the national strength declined, and the level of science and technology was far from keeping up with the pace of the times. As the saying goes: backwardness means being beaten, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty still has huge wealth coveted by foreign powers. Since the Opium War, China has been in a difficult period of up to a century. The great powers of various countries invaded China one after another, cut up land and paid indemnities, and signed various unequal treaties, and China gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, until after the Eight-Power Alliance's war of aggression against China, the "Xinugu Treaty" was signed, and the Qing government was completely reduced to a tool for the imperial powers to rule China.
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Japan, the United States, Austria-Hungary, and Italy jointly invaded China, and it is ridiculous that Italy and Austria-Hungary were only used to make up numbers, because these two countries only sent a dozen troops. After the victory of the Eight Kingdoms, the Qing Dynasty was completely reduced to the court of foreigners, and the three countries of Russia, Japan and Germany strongly demanded the partition of China, and the remaining countries either enjoyed a piece of the pie or maintained an attitude of conformity, while only the United States resolutely opposed it.
Among these eight countries, the United States can be regarded as a more conscientious, at that time the Qing Dynasty needed to compensate the Eight-Power Alliance for 450 million taels of silver, the Qing Dynasty at that time tried all kinds of ways to piece together only 300 million taels of compensation, the United States later returned some money to China, used to sponsor Chinese students to study in the United States, the United States this practice is very incredible in the eyes of other 7 countries.
U.S. trade with China is also increasing. In other words, as long as it relies on trade with China, the United States can achieve very large benefits. Therefore, for the above reasons, the United States will make that kind of move. But then again, although the motives of the United States were not pure, at least it helped China at that time. But no matter what, what we have to do now is not to forget history, and then we will realize the great cause of the rejuvenation of the motherland.
