Why is China called the peoples republic of China?
cause china(people republic of china) and Taiwan was a contry, after war Taiwan (as republic of china)lost the war, so they separated.the communist got china,so they use the name, they cant be 2 china in the world, so they use Taiwan.but the real name is republic of china(ROC)
Not totally correct and very misleading. Taiwan was awarded to Japan in 1895 because of military superiority of China. Taiwan people did not have a military and China sent ships to the island in order for sugarcane and numerous minerals to be mined and grown for money to be sent back to the Empress. The Republic of China is not a land/country but it is a "government". It was the name of the government on the mainland of China up until they were defeated just after WWII. Taiwan first tried to assert themselves as an independent country in 1895 and again in 1945 (approximately) after the defeat of Japan. Because Chiang, Kai Shek was an ally during WWII and since he was being defeated on the mainland, it was thought that if he took the island, that China could be monitored by the US. The people were mistreated and killed until they were subdued enough to stop fighting back and to realize that they could not take back their country. The real name of the island is Formosa or Taiwan...not "The Republic of China". The island has only been controlled by Chinese forces for a little over 100 years prior to Japan being the so-called "owners". Taiwan NEVER fought China...therefore they could never have lost. People should read and learn and not follow what anybody says or writes.

What effects did the defeat of the Boxer Rebellion have to China?
They got sucked into a black hole.
The Boxer Rebellion took place in 1900. The Boxers were a Chinese society, was supported by many Chinese officials. The Boxers were encouraged to stage a rebellion to drive out foreigners, including the USA from China, and restore China to isolation from outside influences. An international military force of most of the European imperialists and American Marines, suppressed the rebellion and demanded damages from China. The US became involved & urged that China pay, but not in losing territory, or selling territory, but in money.
The foreign nations first agreed but then imposed excessive payments. The US returned half of her indemnity money to advance education in China and to enable Chinese students to study in the US.
All in all, it was a clear case of multinational imperialism by the US and European Allies.

Why did china not welcome European merchants?
They wanted to avoid the Western influence in their society. After the Opium Warswith the English it is not astonishing. They had the whole country enslaved to opium in order to be able to do their business. Apart from that the Chinese have always been real paranoiac in this aspect. They refused trading with Genghis Khan on a friendly base and thus provoked him to invade their country.
The Gai-Jin or foreign devil was never welcome in China and it is a fact that most of those who did enter their country brought them very little and mostly tried to exploit them one way or another.

Changes from Deathmanf1re: The first dynasty was not Xia as some people say.
Yan Huang Zi Sun was the first dynasty. The first guy was Huang Di then Yao then Sun and finally Yu.
