1,193Consider Supporting HoH: https://www.patreon.com/HouseofHistory This documentary is the compilation of all the videos I have uploaded over the past 2 months. They detail the chronological events that eventually led to the fall of China's Qing Dynasty. From the Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion, Tongzhi Restoration, Sino-Japanese war and Boxer Rebellion all the way to the Xinhai revolution and the eventual abdication of Puyi, China's Last Emperor. You can listen to this video as if it were a Podcast, or simply watch it, as the videos are edited with pictures to accompany the story.
