《从鸦片战争到军阀混战:清末民初的影像中国(英文版)》：The 1911 Revolution ended dynastic rule in China and paved the way for the founding of Asia's first republic Triggered by an accidental bomb explosion in Wuchang （modern-dayWuhan）, the revolution marked the culminatingpoint of decades of internal rebellion, foreignaggression and political decline; its leaders drewon a ferment of reformist and revolutionary ideasproduced by some of China's greatest modernthinkers. Although the 1911 Revolution did notresolve China's problems,it changed the countryfor ever, clearing a path for modernization, andmaking possible the more decisive revolutionof1949.
From the Opium War to the. Warlord Eraassembles a remarkable survey of historicalphotographs from leading collections around theworld.The images stretch from the Second OpiumWar to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, fromthe Boxer Rebellion to the Russo-Japanese Warand the outbreak of revolution through the riseand fall ofYuan Shikai an the ensuingWarlord Era.
