What are some events in China history that would be good for my history project?

Question

My history project topic is triumph and tragedy of a event in history and I want to do the topic on China.

Answer 1

Try the Long March, or the revolution after WWII.

You could try the Boxer rebellion, where the USA and her friends put down the Chinese attempts at self rule (No Democracy there)!

The influence of Confucius on Chinese History over the last 2,500 years, possibly compared to Plato or Socrates in the west.

There is so much to work with here, just pick a time frame, an historical event or person, and start researching.

Answer 2

Confucius, a great ancient Chinese thinker, was again thrown into the spotlight when a range of memorial activities were held worldwide to commemorate the 2,556th anniversary of his birth. And the Confucianism maxims could help make people vigilant, and as a matter of fact, some valuable Confucian concepts have been integrated into mainstream world culture.The influence of Confucius is the great source you can reference. Check out the website below, you will know more about the confucious.

Answer 3

I would go with either the Boxer Rebellion or the Cultural Revolution. You will find plenty of tragedy in the Cultural Revolution and it will give you a good understanding of how modern Chinese history was shaped.

Answer 4

I think a great one would be the Communist revolution and Mao Zedong. I have often thought it would be a great movie, a Greek tragedy where he went from an obscure peasant to revolutionary leader of the largest country in the world, but then his hubris led to Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, and eventually to today's China, which would have appalled him.

Answer 5

I can think of two events:
1. The "rise" of Confucius, who was called to be the Emperor's adviser and instead he did not leave his base and school at QiFu (spelled TsiFou)
2. The wars, fights and killings by the Emperor of Chin, who united the different Chinese empires

Answer 6

It sounds like Alexander the total's conquests would qualify. That or the Punic Wars, or perhaps the crusades, quite it relies upon what you want to base your project on. in case you want something to do with warfare, all those are quite good, yet in case you want a more effective non violent adventure, you may want to opt for something from Ghandi's nonviolent resistance of the British to the progression of the pyramids. there is truly infinite matters to write down about, yet i'd recommend narrowing down what type of adventure you'll want to witness because the first step. good luck
