This will be my fourth and final PMUNC. My name is Nicholas Wu, and I’m a senior in the Woodrow Wilson School, pursuing certificates in American Studies and East Asian Studies. It’s my honor to chair this year’s crisis committee on the Taiping Rebellion. It’s a conflict that fascinates me. The Taiping Rebellion was the largest civil war in human history, but it barely receives any attention in your standard world history class. Which is a shame — it’s a multilayered conflict. There are ethnic, economic, and religious issues at play, as well as significant foreign involvement. I hope that you all find it as interesting as I do. On campus, I’m currently figuring out how to write my thesis, and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be researching the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

  • The Incompetence of Qing Dynasty Officials in the Opium Wars, and the Consequences of Defeat
    An Indefensible Defense: The Incompetence of Qing Dynasty Officials in the Opium Wars, and the Consequences of Defeat DANIEL CONE The Opium Wars were small scale wars fought with global implications. With fewer than five thousand troops and twenty naval vessels the British were able to win the First Opium War, allowing them to rewrite trade laws that were demonstrably unfair to the Chinese. After losing the First Opium War, the Qing Dynasty then had to deal with the Taiping Rebellion (caused in part by anti- foreign sentiment sprung from the Opium War) and a subsequent Second Opium War, which created more unequal trade stipulations. The Manchus and the British had very different militaries, as “Britain experienced an industrial revolution that produced military technology far beyond that of the Qing forces,” writes Peter Worthing.1 While the Manchus would almost certainly be defeated by the British in an open, “fair fight,” there are many other ways of engaging an enemy while maintaining a tactical advantage. This is especially true when fighting an invading force, as the Manchus could utilize defensive structures to their advantage. According to the traditionalist view, the Manchus could not have competed with such a superior force,2 but I contend it was the incompetency of Qing officials, not the superiority of European warfare, that caused the Qing Dynasty to capitulate. Qing officials anticipated an armed conflict would be necessary to halt the importation of British opium, but the Manchus vastly underestimated the foe they were to face. The preparations made before the invasion were underfunded, underutilized, and most importantly undermanned; often leaving local provinces to fight without any assistance.

  • The Taiping Movement
    Seeds of Unrest: The Taiping Movement (From facinghistory.org) At the same time efforts of reform were under way in Japan in the mid-nineteenth century, China remained under the same dynasty that had ruled for more than 200 years. Qing rule, led by the ethnic minority Manchu people, were struggling to maintain China’s wealth and prestige in East Asia. The first emperor in power after the opium wars was Emperor Tongzhi (r. 1861–1875). At the age of five he had little power and instead, his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, largely controlled the reigns. She promoted a movement called the Tongzhi Restoration to halt any further decline of Qing power by restoring the traditional sociopolitical order and strengthening Confucian culture. The damaging defeats by the British in the opium wars were partially a cause of domestic instability, but also partially a consequence. Although Qing leaders did not passively submit to Western imperialism, they held power when Western colonial powers gained an economic and political foothold in China. As a result, the legitimacy and effectiveness of their rule and the rule of the Manchu people was shaken, contributing to the further weakening of the Chinese nation. While opium addiction and subsequent conflict over its trade continued, clashes between tradition and modernity also confronted China’s imperial court. This set the stage for one of the bloodiest civil wars ever in world history, the Taiping War from the early 1850s up to 1864.[1] Until China’s loss to Britain in the opium wars, Western traders were permitted to conduct trade and business only through an association of Chinese merchants known as cohong, 13 authorized merchants approved by the Chinese central government.

This is an integral aspect of the course and a skill that needs to be mastered prior to the beginning of the year. I Identify the following AP World Regions and at least three countries within each region (except for South Asia you only need two countries). Part II Introductory questions 1. AP World attempts to “provide a history of the world that would also venture beyond the well-trodden paths of European history.” Why is this important? Are there areas of the world that you feel have been neglected in your previous history course(s)? Why do you think they are neglected? 2. What does J.M. Roberts’ quote, “Distant history still clutters up our lives, and our thinking” mean to you? Provide a specific example with an explanation. Throughout the rest of the reading guide, you should label each question with one of the AP SPICES categories. You might have to do a bit of outside research for a few of them. Example-Question #1. What is the Dynastic Cylce/Mandate of Heaven? (Political or simply put P) because the Mandate of Heaven justified the rule of Chinese leaders. Some could correspond to several SPICES categories, like this one…it could also be cultural.

Also, after amassing a large fortune from the opium business, Jardine used his wealth and influence to sway the opinion Benjamin Cassan of both the public and the government towards war.
