The Yellow River region. The civilization of ancient China first developed in the Yellow River region of northern China, in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE. A large part of this area is covered by loess soil. In Chinese history, the Yellow River is not just a river; it stands for the origins of culture and civilization. ... That is because the Yellow River was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilizations in the Xia (2100–1600 BC) and Shang (1600–1046 BC) eras — the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.

The British Empire was an important source of nationalism
Nationalism is an extreme form of patriotism or loyalty to one’s country. Nationalists place the interests of their own country above those of other countries. Nationalism was prevalent in early 20th century Europe and became a significant cause of World War I. Most pre-war Europeans believed in the cultural, economic and military supremacy of their nation.
They wanted a monopoly on salt and iron because it helped them make a large profit off of it. When you have a monopoly on something, you have complete control over it. They could sell it for more, or the value could come up. This helped to improve Chinese's income and worldly status.
