How did imperialism in China motivate wars and rebellions that weakened dynastic rule?

Sample response: 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.

In imperialism, Government will always try to exert dominance toward others (whether it's another kingdom or its own people) with violent military forces.)
This often caused despair , hatred, and dissatisfaction that often provoke wars and rebellions

hope this helps
