Qing Empire had a severe skill issue. Getting mogged on your home turf was just embarrassing.

[@realah3001]

Yeah not having a proper navy or army does that to a nation

[@evosioa2944]

yeah, they even had virtually infinite manpower, complete skill issue for someone with so many hours

[@justforrow]

Not really, their army was pretty weak at the time and their navy was basically pretty non-existent. The British had steam-boats with cannons, the Chinese had fishing boats with non-existent cannons. Army cohesion was weak in the Eastern Sea provinces and the Qing were suffering from corruption issues at the time. It wasn't embarrassing, even Britain got invaded by Vikings in the 6th century and got a bunch of their churches burned.

[@justforrow]

@@evosioa2944 Infinite manpower doesn't mean shit when it's half a mile away and the commanders are incompetent buffoons who were only promoted due to having connections to the royal family (not because of yk, anything like ACTUAL SKILL).

The opium war and it's consequences have been a disaster to the Chinese state

[@RKNGL]

Honestly lucky that the war came when it did if not sooner. If it’d come later it have been the Wa dynasty or another European’s colony looking for their own jewel in the crown. It’s clear the Qing wouldn’t have come to terms with reform on their own and simple status quo wouldn’t have brought forth revolution.

A man named James Fitzjames fought at Chinkiang, firing rockets into Chinese forces. He took a musket ball there similar to the wound Lord Nelson took at Trafalgar, but since it had spent its energy passing through his arm (which Nelson had lost by this time) it was able to be removed from where it lodged in his chest.

Your summary at the end of this video was simply beautiful. You avoid all of the politically correct nonsense that so many modern day historians LOVE to spew yet you don't gloss over the morally reprehensible situation that Britain had found itself in. The arrogance and refusal to view the world as it was by the Chinese aristocracy is what was their ultimate downfall. The British just so happened to be the instruments of that downfall.
