Answer:

Imperialism led to Western influence in China. The Opium Wars resulted in Western control of Chinese trade and diplomacy. The Chinese people were very unhappy with the outcome of the Opium War and revolted in the Taiping Rebellion, a civil war against the government. As Western influence increased, a nationalist group known as the Boxers emerged. The Boxer Rebellion led to a weakened state of the Chinese government. Eventually, nationalism overthrew the government and dynastic rule in China.
