Marco Polo (1254-1324) was an Italian voyager and merchant who was one of the first Europeans to travel across Asia through China, visiting the Kublai Khan in Beijing. He left in 1271 (he was a teenager at the time) with his father (Nicolo Polo) and uncle (Maffeo Polo); they spent about 24 years traveling. [Nicolo and Maffeo had previously made a trip to China, from 1260-1269, during which the Kublai Khan (the conqueror of China) requested holy oil blessed by the Pope.]

What were the results of the result of the Taiping rebellion?
The Taiping Rebellion in China was one of the bloodiest conflicts in history. It was a "fourteen-year struggle to overthrow the Qing dynasty and establish a messianic Christian theocracy" (Newsinger par. 4). It was headed by a man named Hong Xiuquan who came to believe he was Jesus' younger brother. The goal of these "God Worshippers" was to set up a Heavenly Kingdom on earth. But how did a "Christian revolution" come about in China? As we will see, there are a number of factors that planted the seeds for this revolution. Due to the unequal trade, administrative inefficiency, over-taxation, increasing population, and famine of nineteenth century China, the Chinese population, especially the Hakka, became increasingly receptive to new ideas from Christian missionaries which eventually led to insurrection. One of the major causes of the Taiping Rebellion was the significant increase of foreign imports, especially that of opium. Western capitalistic powers, like Britain and America, were looking to China as a potential market to sell their goods. Due to this, China was under tremendous pressure to "change its policy from one of seclusion to one of participation in world economy" (Teng 24). However, China imported far more than it exported which damaged the nation's economy. For example, "imported foreign textiles usurped the place of Chinese native-made cotton goods, and drove handicraft productions out of the market" (Compilation 3). Chinese vendors could not compete with the goods imported from overseas. And because the vendors could no longer sell their products, there was less demand for the resources to manufacture them. This resulted in a large percentage of the population either losing their jobs, or declaring bankruptcy (Compilation 4). But the import that did the greatest damage to the Chinese economy was opium. "In the nineteenth century [,] the imports of opium increased yearly [,] and between 1831 and 1834 the Chinese people spent over 20 million taels annually on opium. This was equal to nearly half of the total national revenue each year" (Teng 28). The little money the people did have was spent on a drug that created a strong addiction. And when the money ran out, people often resorted to violence to satisfy that addiction. So, the foreign traders were basically extorting the Chinese people by selling them an addictive drug during which time the Chinese were experiencing a financial disaster.

True or false The British ended the opium trade to China in 1836?
Yes. In 1729, the Chinese imperial government, alarmed at its debilitating effect, prohibited the sale of opium mixed with tobacco and banned opium-smoking houses. Selling opium for smoking "was classed with robbery and instigation to murder, and punished with banishment or death," wrote Joshua Rowntree in "The Imperial Drug Trade," published in London in 1905. But this didn't stop Britain, which had gradually been taking over the opium trade from its European capitalist rivals, Portugal and Holland. Much of the opium at this time was grown and manufactured in British India. Capt. Hamilton, a private British adventurer who spent 40 years in India in the first part of the 18th century, described the city of Patna there as "frequented by Europeans, where the English and Dutch have factories. It produces so much opium that it serves all the countries in India with that commodity."
