What were the causes of decline in central authority in China in the 19th and early 20th century​

History

LiRa [457]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: This section focuses on four key topics in China's modern history. The first is that of China's conflict with an aggressively expanding West in the 1800s, beginning with the demands made by England at the end of the eighteenth century; England, as was true with the other imperial powers, was intent on "opening up" trade with China. Chinese denials for trade on England's terms eventually led to several wars which concluded by imposing "unequal" treaties that by the end of the century threatened to carve up China "like a melon."

A second key topic is that of the internal crises that were occurring in China at this time: the rebellions, famines, and explosive population growth of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many of these issues were not new to the empire, but the extent and the timing of their challenge was crucial, coming at the same time as foreign encroachments.

A third major topic is that of the dialogue within China about how best to respond to these combined challenges and the extent and nature of the changes that were required. Dialogue about reform was many-faceted, and it vacillated between the progressive combination of elements from the West with the best of Chinese traditions, to the outright rejection of the Chinese past. Finally, by the 1920s, some reformers turned revolutionary, discussing the relevance of Marxism for China.

The fourth major topic is that of the Chinese communist revolution that unfolded in China in the 1930s and 1940s and the particular role played by Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung) in adapting Marxism to the Chinese situation.

China in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries

China in the 1800s

In the 16th century, the Chinese economy was still the most sophisticated and productive in the world, and the Chinese probably enjoyed a higher standard of living than any other people on earth. The Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-1912), founded by the invading Manchus, continued this splendor. Contemporary Chinese called the 18th century "unparalleled in history," when all aspects of culture flourished. China was a prosperous state with abundant natural resources, a huge but basically contented population, and a royal house of great prestige at home and abroad.

Explain the difference between dual federalism and cooperative federalism. Describe the use of both dual federalism and cooperat
yaroslaw [1]
In dual federalism, both the state government and the federal government have their own jurisdiction and respect each other's jurisdictions in legislation without interfering. There is a clear difference in who deals with what and they don't intervene with one another when they are making policies. Because of this, it is also known as the layer cake federalism.

Cooperative federalism is the opposite of dual federalism. In cooperative, both the state government and the national government work together when making policies. It is called also the marble cake federalism because like the marble cake, it's all mixed and not clearly separated into layers.

An example of dual federalism in the United States can be when local, state governments, make policies regarding aid programs to people in the state. The federal government approves and allocates funds but the state can make policies regarding aid to some of its citizens independently of the federal government.

An example of cooperative federalism in the United States can be making policies regarding environmental protection. For example, the federal government can make a set of laws to protect the environment and reduce carbon dioxide emission, while a state government can create a local program that would help factories switch to clean energy in order to adhere to the law.
