Question 5 • SS221 World History/Geography A

Which is the correct order of events that eventually led to the collapse of the Chinese imperial government?

Answer
A
rise of nationalism, Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion, Boxer Rebellion
B
Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion, Boxer Rebellion, rise of nationalism
C
rise of nationalism, Boxer Rebellion, Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion
D
Opium Wars, rise of nationalism, Taiping Rebellion, Boxer Rebellion

Explanation

The Opium Wars took place first, beginning in 1839. The Taiping Rebellion followed in 1850, and the Boxer Rebellion occurred much later, around 1899–1901. Nationalist movements then helped bring down the Qing dynasty in the 1911 Revolution, so the correct order is Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion, Boxer Rebellion, rise of nationalism.
