Lecture No. 0028
China, cont’d
Lecture by Prof. Harvey Goldberg on modern China. Covers the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) and the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) under the Dowager Empress Cixi through the collapse of the Qing dynasty in the Xinhai Revolution of 1911.

NOTE: Reflecting Goldberg’s own pronunciation of Chinese terms and the texts he would have referenced in the 1970s, transcripts use Wade-Giles romanization rather than Pinyin throughout (e.g., Peking for Beijing, Mao Tse-tung for Mao Zedong, etc.).
