Self-Strengthening+2

=What= =Self Strengthening movement tried to reform China through learning Western technology, industry, and even language, in order to equal the Western power. This movement failed.=

=Who= =Ch'ing government (Empress Dowager T'zu His)= = = = = =Where= =China= = = =When= =1860’s to 1890’s=

=Why= =This movement failed because of relative stability and size of the imperial government. Chinese reformers failed to unify the country, and they were spread out in their own sphere of action. They only reformed in their own areas, so the movement did not have enough influence on the country as a whole.=
