The Century of Humiliation marks a pivotal period in Chinese history, starting with the First Opium War in 1839 and, depending on perspective, ending in 1945 with China's emergence as a global power or in 1949 with the formation of the People's Republic of China. This era is characterized by the degradation and partition of China by colonial powers, a narrative that fueled the resurgence of Chinese nationalism and reshaped China's identity on the world stage. Understanding this crucial century offers insights into China's contemporary stance on sovereignty, national pride, and its assertive role in international affairs. Join us as we explore the events, impacts, and enduring significance of this transformative period in Chinese history.
