Background History of China

  China is a country with alot of history and different events that has changed it and the world. This events can vary from channges in the politics, cultural problems, wars, and many other. China has a long history, going back over to 3 thousand years, ruled by Emperors and their dynasties. But in the end present day China has been like a rock sculture molded by the hit of other countries and societies.
  This begings more than 3 thousand years when Chinas wa ruled by emperors and dynasties. During 1200, China was invaded by the Mongols from Mongolia. The Mongols were illiterate, religiously shamanistic and perhaps no more than 700,000 in number. They ruled in China under the control of Kablai Kahn and this era was known as the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols were the first foreign invaders  who ruled China for several years.
   Then in the 1800s, the Chinese  were been influenced by Western society. At the same time British started to use opium, a drug  grown in North India, to control the Chinese people. When the government realized what was going on they started the Opium War. China losy the war, losing Hong Kong and openig more trades to Britain,U.S.A., and other Western powers. In the end Britain destroyed the Chinese government and created civil wars.
  On October 1, 1949 the founding of the ‘People's Republic of China’ was certified in Beijing. A new political and economic regime was instated, built on the pattern of Soviet society. During 1950s the government launch upon a tremendous economic and social indemnification. Steps were taken to restraint inflation, mending the economy and reconstructing the war-damaged industrial plants and regions. In the process the government acquired a tremendous support from its people. 
  What I can say is that China has had its ups and down but it has maintained its honor and pride through this centuries. Because if they didn't, many of the greatest leaders of this country wouldn't had the courage to do the things they did for their country and home. That is something we should learn from them and keep it in our hearts. That is to care for another and to love the country were you live in.
