During the 1800s-1900s China was becoming a semi colonial society, and foreign powers stepped up their aggression against China. This conflict marked the beginning of what Chinese still describe as a "century of humiliation". During this time, China wasn't just dealing with Europe, their population was growing and they didn't produce enough for its people. With China having a big population, they lacked crops, which led to starvation. All these factors led to rebellions and China having more pressure.
During the revolution, something that really caught my attention was the women that fought with the soldiers. This was something never heard of or seen before, so it was something that changed many views for people during that time. China went through many negative factors during the 1800s-1900s, which makes sense why they described this time as a "century of humiliation".
