Korea
First contact
• Portuguese amazed Chinese craftsmanship• Wanted silks and porcelains
• Chinese thought westerners were barbarians.– Saw no reason to interact with them
• Chinese wanted gold and silver (since products were inferior!)• Allowed limited trade and settlement
– Macao was their first (only) trade settlement
Missionaries sought to convert the Chinese
• The Jesuits brought an education approach to conversion
• Matteo Ricci was impressive in his efforts
• But the Chinese were interested in the knowledge—not necessarily the religion…
The Manchus
• The Ming (old)dynasty was failing• The Manchus came from the NE—
busted through the Great Wall and set up their own capital (Beijing) and dynasty—Qing
• Were positive leaders—taking the best, working with the locals.
• Great expansion from 1660-1800.• Economy expanded (American crops)• Population grew• Trade expanded
China continued to reject Westerners.
• English Lord McCartney attempted to set up negotiations— (1793)
• Nope. He had a bad attitude! • “insisted” the British were superior• Wouldn’t kowtow
• Emperor Qianlong didn’t want anything to do with this jerk…
Ignoring the Brits would turn out bad in the long run
• In the 1800s, improved technology would prove disastrous for the Chinese.
• iGuns, iCannons
The Koreans
• Had advanced knowledge of the West from the Arab traders and their own travels– Japan to the Mediterranean Sea
• Continually attacked by the Japanese and Chinese– Caused ruin in Korea– Adopted “isolation” as their policy– No one allowed in or out.
• A vast, wonderful age for Korean arts and literature.
Japan• Japan tried to work with
the Westerners• Their home government
was in turmoil.• The Western firepower
helped sort out problems.
• Many became Christian• This threatened to
leaders (the shoguns)so they threw out the missionaries and persecuted the Japanese/ChristiansTokugawa
Shogun
Mid-1600s• The Tokugawa Shoguns turned
against the Westerners completely. • Threw them out and forbade
shipbuilding in Japan.• Only Dutch allowed in a couple of
times a year. (to Nagasaki)• Stayed isolated for 200 years but
allowed Japanese culture to flourish.
• Edo (Tokyo) became larger than Paris or London!
