The White Lotus Rebellion, 1796 to 1804
Originating during the Mongol period, the White Lotus religious society grew in the countryside as its founders appealed to the impoverished peasantry. The society promised that the Maitreya Buddha would come into the world, restore the Ming Dynasty and wipe out all disaster and suffering. Over time, the White Lotus Society had spread through the region where the current provinces of Hubei, Sichuan and Shanxi join. This area was a mountainous frontier where local inhabitants tended to the law. Eventually, the White Lotus Rebellion started as a protest against Qing tax collection. Scattered and growing outbreaks characterized the rebellion making it difficult for the corrupted Qing rulers and imperial army to control. Only with a change of Emperors and an intensified effort by military commanders was the rebellion suppressed. The Qing walled in and guarded villages with a military presence to prevent rebels from rallying the peasants. The drawn out Qing effort to suppress the rebellion cost it dearly in terms of its silver and reputation for invincibility.

The British Opium War, 1840 to 1842
In the mid 1700’s, the British East India Company began producing opium in India and shipping it into Guangzhou, China to pay for teas being shipped to London. In actuality, opium sales were so brisk Chinese silver began to flow out of China to pay for the unbalanced opium demand. The Qing administrators became alarmed at a growing monetary crisis. Separately in 1834, the British government ended the East India Company’s monopoly on British trade with China and dispatched a British official to Guangzhou to supervise trade directly. The British official arrived and immediately demanded treatment based on diplomatic equality with the emperor. The Qing faced a dilemma. If they accepted the “diplomatic equality” demand, it would diminish the emperor’s position. At the same time, they could no longer tolerate the inflow of opium into China, as it was devastating society. In the end, the Qing dispatched an Imperial Commissioner to Guangzhou in 1839. After heavy coercion, British opium traders surrendered their opium stocks to Commissioner Lin Zexu. Unfortunately, the British did not take this lightly and dispatched warships to Guangzhou. By 1842, after about six battles along China’s southeast coast, the British won the war and forced the Qing to sign the Nanjing Treaty in August of 1842 (See Anglo-China Treaties below). It was at the end of this war that the Chinese conceded to the British what was then a barren Hong Kong Island.

Second Anglo-China War, 1856 to 1860
After the signing of the Nanjing Treaty, it became clear the Qing did not fully accept many of the conditions that favored the British. Further, the British began to feel the treaty did not fully meet their own needs. Consequently, the allied British and French fought a second war against the Chinese. The western forces won again leading to the Tianjin Treaty of 1858. The Qing resisted the new treaty and did not fully comply with it until British and French forces entered, ransacked and occupied Beijing.

Anglo-China Treaties, 1842 to 1858
Because of war with the western powers, China signed various treaties with Britain, France, Russia and the United States. In theory, “equal and sovereign powers” signed the treaties but in reality, the treaties did not favor China in the least. Essentially, the treaties forced China to open to western commerce and culture. Specifically, the treaties subjected China to the following:

The establishment of an initial 5 treaty ports that later grew to 80.
Extra-territoriality which allowed foreign consulates jurisdiction over its nationals in China.
A moderate tariff structure and “most-favored-nation” status for the participating foreign governments.
The major treaty ports were strikingly similar. All had a noisy and crowded waterfront, red-light district and a swarm of coolie laborers. There was a club, racetrack, and church. Foreign residents lived in foreign governed neighborhoods that typically were isolated from the Chinese section of town by some type of waterway. In the end, the unbalanced treaties opened China’s market, infused western culture into China, greatly diminished the country’s fortunes and seriously damaged the Qing Dynasty’s credibility to rule the country.

The Great Taiping Rebellion, 1851 to 1864
Beginning in the southernmost parts of China, The Great Taiping Rebellion arose due to disgraces suffered during the Opium War and the crushing famine of 1846 to 1848. The southern region of China suffered the gravest social effects from the opium trade yet was the Qing’s weakest military hold. The leader of the rebellion, Hong Xiuquan, was a misinformed and slightly delusional Christian practitioner who, after minimal Christian teachings, came to believe he was the younger brother of Jesus and God had called upon him to save humankind. His focus was not on the goodness of biblical teachings but rather on “the chosen few who with God’s help had rebelled against oppression”. He preached the righteousness of wrath in overcoming oppression. Hong and his six appointed activists ultimately led half of the rebel elements in China. Their ritualistic beliefs and practices, including praying and singing, resulted in a religious mass geared for war. The Taiping Tianguo as they called themselves, attracted new recruits through goodwill to the common person, an extreme dedication to the cause and, for some, fear. In defiance of the Qing requirement to have a shaved forehead and braided ponytail, the Taiping Tianguo allowed their hair to grow long and wild. As it turned out, the Taiping Rebellion became part of a civil war during which fighting between many factions broke out. The civil war took a severe toll on life and property. A change of Qing leadership and policy were ultimately required before the Qing were able to restore their power and squash the rebellion.

Qing Restoration, 1861 to 1876
Policy and leadership changes are what enabled the Qing to revive their power. In 1862, a Taiping commander attacked Nanjing and threatened Shanghai. The Taiping’s advance led to a coup in Beijing that brought new Manchu leadership under Empress Dowager with support from Prince Gong and Grand Councilor Wenxiang. The new leadership policy consisted of two main planks: 1) accept the treaty system to appease foreign governments, and 2) install more Chinese in high positions to consolidate power and defeat the Taiping and other rebel factions. The Taiping attack on Confucian order appalled the Qing commander against the Taiping, Zeng Guofan. He was committed to end their destructive campaign. To do so, he recruited commanders of natures similar to his own and established an inland navy on the Yangzi. With loyal commanders and navy in place, he methodically began to dismantle the Taiping forces. In 1864, his forces succeeded in suppressing the Taiping rebels and restoring new order to the country. Confucianism was revitalized and instrumental in bringing order, but at the same time, the new Qing leadership began to Westernize. In doing so, they adopted Western technology, opened to Western thought and began to acquire well-built Western-style military equipment. Critics of the “restoration” period state that the whole effort lacked central coordination and focused far too much on the past while neglecting real modernization actions China needed to take. They say the restoration lacked substance and effect. The effort began to die out after 1870.

Boxer Rebellion, 1898-1901 -
Around the turn of the century, poverty in the northwest province of Shangdong was at an all time high. Consequently, inter-village feuding and banditry were prevalent. Things were becoming widespread and the Qing had no control over it. Greatly aggravating the situation was a German seizure of Shangdong as well as the repeated humbling of the Chinese Government by European and Japanese powers. Christian missions were spreading well into China’s interior. All resulted in an extreme anti-foreign anti-Christian sentiment among the Chinese people of the region. Given the state of affairs, foreign powers forced the Qing to enact protective legislation supported by harsh punishment. The Qing’s compliance caused rebellious factions to go underground and form secret societies. The “Boxers” was one such society that formed. “Boxer” referred to boxing or, more common to Chinese, Gongfu (Kungfu). The Boxers professed to combine Gongfu with Shamanism (spiritual possession). Formally known as the Boxers United in Righteousness, the Boxers proclaimed, “Support the Qing and destroy all foreign”. The movement spread rapidly and the Qing Empress Dowager backed it out of fear if she did not the Qinq would lose all control. Fighting started in the spring of 1900 when foreign Legation guards started a shooting campaign against the Boxers designed to intimidate them. Boxers responded in June of the same year by killing Christians in and looting Beijing and Tianjin. Later in the month foreign forces responded with incursions into China and the naval bombardment of Tianjin. Quickly thereafter Dowager declared war on all foreign powers, although southern China government officials quietly agreed with foreign powers not to take up arms if foreign troops and equipment would not enter the south. Most famous about this short “war” is an eight-week period where some 475 foreign civilians, 450 foreign troops and 3000 Chinese Christians barricaded in the Beijing legation quarter under constant Boxer gunfire. Ultimately, foreign troops allied and rescued the bunch while Dowager escaped to Xi’an. The rebellion was crushed. As punishment for the Qing’s defiance, foreign troops mercilessly looted Beijing and destroyed 25 Qing forts. Foreign governments forced the execution of 10 Qing high officials and reaffirmed the treaty system while coercing Beijing to agree to pay $333 million in damages.

Answer 3

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.
