The History Book Club discussion

This thread is focused on the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1912)

Gentlemen, forgive my ignorance, but is that the dynasty that the empress Qi (spelling?) ruled in, and also the era of the “Boxer Rebellion?”

Hi, Dazen, I know of this work:

Jerome, my TBR List thanks you. For an American view of gunboat diplomacy and the American public’s perception of China as decadent, you could consult books on the latter part of Teddy Roosevelt’s presidency. Remember he’s the one who said, “Speak softly, but carry a big stick!”
Regards,
