What were the problems faced by China in the Nineteenth century ?

Answer

Problems faced by China in the nineteenth century were :

(i) Manchu Dynasty: In the 19th century China was under the monarchy. The rulers of Manchu dynasty could not defend their empire from the European imperialists and Christian Missionaries. China had been turned into a happy hunting ground by the European traders and Christian Missionaries of various denominations.

(ii) Imperialism: China was subjected to worse kind of irresponsible imperialism as distinct from British rule in India where it had some sense of responsibility. This was done through several wars (opium wars) and a series of unequal treaties which threatened China's integrity. Britain, France, USA, Russia, Germany and Japan explained China for several years.
