China: The Manchu Rule
- 1977 ----- color ----- 18 min ----- 16mm
- Covers the Ch'ing dynasty's 300-year rule which culminated in challenges from the West in the 19th century (1644 A.D. to 1911 A.D.) through a variety of artifacts, documents and art materials. Emperor K'ang-hsi, with the aid of Manchu troops, brought secure borders and peace to China with the establishment of Ch'ing. Poor leadership by his grandson Ch'ien-lung undermined the nation. Peasant uprisings, the Opium War, additional pressures from internal rebellions and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 finally defeated the Ch'ing regime.
