In the 19th century, China was motivated to launch its self-strengthening movement primarily due to the increasing pressure from Western powers and military defeats, notably in the Opium Wars. The realization that its traditional imperial system was inadequate for resisting foreign encroachment led to a push for modernization in military, industrial, and educational sectors. Leaders sought to adopt Western technology and practices while maintaining Confucian values, aiming to strengthen China's sovereignty and improve its global standing. This movement was also a response to internal strife, including rebellions and the desire to rejuvenate the Qing dynasty.
China's Self-Strengthening Movement in the 19th century was motivated by several key events, notably the Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1860), which exposed the country's military weaknesses and led to humiliating defeats by Western powers. The Treaty of Nanking (1842) and subsequent treaties revealed the dire need for modernization to defend China's sovereignty. Additionally, internal strife, such as the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), highlighted the vulnerabilities of the Qing dynasty, prompting leaders to adopt reforms aimed at strengthening the military and modernizing the economy.
