HIST 163 CM - Modern Chinese History, 1750 to the Present

This course examines the various processes that define China’s struggle for a modern identity and state. It begins by evaluating the changes in 18th-century Chinese society and the economy resulting from population growth, increased commercialization, and environmental problems. It then traces the decline and collapse of the 19th-century state due to popular rebellion and foreign imperialism. The course then focuses on 20th-century revolutionary movements, efforts at state building, and currents of cultural change culminating in the Maoist revolution, and concludes with the dramatic changes in the reform era following Mao’s death.
