Patterns of Modern Chinese History offers a broad narrative - introductory but detailed - of the period starting with the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) to the present. With proven pedagogical features and a fluid narrative, it examines large patterns and their origins, interactions, and adaptations, providing in-depth coverage of modern Chinese history. Its versatile organization accommodates both chronological and thematic approaches. The narrative arc begins
with imperial China's greatest extent of wealth and power, traces it through its downward spiral and ultimate demise, and follows its revolutions, civil wars, invasions, radical political interlude, and rise once again to world prominence.
