Homo erectus fcissils from the caves date to :2_30,060 to 250,000 yea~ ago. Paleolithic Homo sapiens also lived there more recently, about 27,000 years ago.1a11 Archaeologists have found neolithic.settlements throughout the municipality, including in Wangfujing, loC;ated in d_owntoWn Beijing. By the 15th century, Beijing had essentially taken its current shape: It is generally believed that Beijing was the largest city in the world for most cif th·e 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. I»I The first known church was constructed by Catholics in 1652 at the former site of Matteo Ricci's chapel; the modem Nantang Cathedral was later built upon the same site.00 · During the Second Opium War, Anglo-French forces captllred ihe city, looting and burning the Old Summer Palace in 1860. Under the Convention of Peking ending that war, Western powers for the. first time secured the right to e_stablish permanent diplomatic presences within the ci_ty. In 1900, the attempt by the "Boxers" to eradicate this presence, as weir as Chinese Christian converts, led to Beijing's reoccupation by fcireign powers.~~ During the fighting, several important structures were destroyed, including ihe Hanlin Academy and the (new) Summer Palace.

After the Qing general YuanShikai forced the abdication of the last Qing emperor and ensured the success of the revolution, the revolutionaries accepted him_ as president of the new Republic of China. Yuan maintained his capital at Beijing and quickly consolidated power, declaring himself emperor in 1915.
