  2. First contact • Portuguese amazed Chinese craftsmanship • Wanted silks and porcelains • Chinese thought westerners were barbarians. • Saw no reason to interact with them • Chinese wanted gold and silver (since products were inferior!) • Allowed limited trade and settlement • Macao was their first (only) trade settlement

  3. Missionaries sought to convert the Chinese • The Jesuits brought an education approach to conversion • Matteo Ricci was impressive in his efforts • But the Chinese were interested in the knowledge—not necessarily the religion…

  4. The Manchus • The Ming (old)dynasty was failing • The Manchus came from the NE—busted through the Great Wall and set up their own capital (Beijing) and dynasty—Qing • Were positive leaders—taking the best, working with the locals. • Great expansion from 1660-1800. • Economy expanded (American crops) • Population grew • Trade expanded

  5. China continued to reject Westerners. • English Lord McCartney attempted to set up negotiations— (1793) • Nope. He had a bad attitude! • “insisted” the British were superior • Wouldn’t kowtow • Emperor Qianlong didn’t want anything to do with this jerk…

  6. Ignoring the Brits would turn out bad in the long run • In the 1800s, improved technology would prove disastrous for the Chinese. • iGuns, iCannons

  7. The Koreans • Had advanced knowledge of the West from the Arab traders and their own travels • Japan to the Mediterranean Sea • Continually attacked by the Japanese and Chinese • Caused ruin in Korea • Adopted “isolation” as their policy • No one allowed in or out. • A vast, wonderful age for Korean arts and literature.

  8. Japan • Japan tried to work with the Westerners • Their home government was in turmoil. • The Western firepower helped sort out problems. • Many became Christian • This threatened to leaders (the shoguns)so they threw out the missionaries and persecuted the Japanese/Christians Tokugawa Shogun

  9. Mid-1600s • The Tokugawa Shoguns turned against the Westerners completely. • Threw them out and forbade shipbuilding in Japan. • Only Dutch allowed in a couple of times a year. (to Nagasaki) • Stayed isolated for 200 years but allowed Japanese culture to flourish. • Edo (Tokyo) became larger than Paris or London!
