Rebellions, revolutions, civil wars and increasingly strong foreign interventions characterized the roughly one hundred years that entered Chinese official historiography as the “century of humiliation”. The period between 1839 and 1949 was also an era of competing modernization projects: the struggle of different political and modernization ideologies, the struggles of social groups for interests created the foundations for the lightning-fast development that made China a global superpower by the 21st century. In the first part of the two-part PartizánInfo, we tell the modern history of China up to the coming to power of the Chinese communists in 1949. We relied on these books in preparing the broadcast: Rebecca E. Karl: China's Revolutions in the Modern World (Verso, 2020) Isabella M. Weber: How China Escaped Shock Therapy (Routledge, 2021) Helen Thompson: Disorder (Oxford University Press, 2022) Ferenc Laczó, Bálint Varga (eds.): Hungary's Global History (Corvina Kiadó, 2022) Support Partizán's work too! https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/fundr...
