2:31:35 China demanding tribute from its tributaries is more similar to the United States demanding payment for its military bases from their host countries. Essentially it was a security guarantee primarily financed by the guarantor, and the purpose of extracting payment from the recipient of the guarantee is mostly a display of authority, to show who the senior partner is.
This is one of the most accurate characterization of China i have ever seen, speaking as a Chinese. It is very hard to understand Chinese mindset, without going through the entire history. However I disagree on one point. 1:40:59 Taiwan. The 1911 revolution was almost a direct result of Qing dynasty seceded Taiwan to Japan. Manchuria, because the ROC government was a southern government, they were not really care about Manchuria. During the civil war, Zhang xueliang(from manchuria) jailed Chiang kai shek, because he saw chiang kai shek worried more about the communists than the Japanese. One thing you may want to consider is the Qing government was a Manchurian government, the thing they worried about the most was internal han Chinese revolt, other than foreign invaders. The Han government has less concerns about that. For example the Han government had always defend Korea since Tang dynasty. The Han xiongnu war, the Han went all out sacrificed almost half of it is population until the xiongnu were scattered. The southern Song dynasty was unable to fought back because southern China got no horses, it was a capability issue, not willingness. Same reason manchurian and mongolian dominated, Horses.
Hello, can I ask you why is this called the 4th part when it's a 3rd video in this playlist? Are there some lectures missing that are not on UA-cam? Awesome series by the way
@@julianspencer-churchill219 Thanks greatly for the uploads by the way, I'm sure a lot of the views are people who are just interested in the topic. Lots of fascinating stuff here
1:52:49 I feel obliged to differ: China was able to vanquish the resistance of MANY peoples it conquered, and those vanquished people all went extinct. So your claim is kind of a survivorship bias.

These are lectures used in a university course: the missing lectures are either mid-term exams, or they are conflict simulations conducted in class.

中國五千年的歷史, 被游牧、游獵民族殖民統治近四千多年，中原農耕民族衹在漢朝和明朝統治中國。統治唐朝的則是漢,胡混血的一個民族:
夏--西羌游牧民族東進中原建立的殖民王朝 (2070BC-1617BC)
商--北狄游獵民族南下中原建立的殖民王朝 (1617BC-1046BC)
周--羌戎游牧民族東進中原建立的殖民王朝 (1046BC-256BC)
秦--西戎牧馬民族東進中原建立的殖民王朝 (221BC-207BC)
*漢--中原農耕民族建立的王朝，漢人、漢族的來源 (202BC-263AD)
隋--鮮卑游獵民族進入中原建立的殖民王朝 (581AD-611AD)
唐--鮮卑游獵民族進入中原建立的殖民王朝 (618AD-975AD)
宋--北方民族建立的王朝 (975AD-1271AD)
元--蒙古游牧民族南下中原建立的殖民王朝 (1271AD-1368AD)
*明--中原農耕民族建立的王朝 (1368AD-1644AD)
清--女真游獵民族南下中原建立的殖民王朝 (1644AD-1912AD)
這些曾經統治過中國的民族, 經過幾千多年的中國文化薰陶後, 都逐漸漢化成了今天的中國人, 並為此感到自豪。漢, 滿, 蒙, 回, 藏五大民族中, 漢族人數以12.2億居多。五大民族另外的56个少數民族, 人口最少的一族, 衹有3,000人左右。
毕竟即使是出身“农耕民族”的统治集团也不会亲自去下地耕田，出身“游牧民族”的统治集团也不会亲自去放牧牛羊，两种统治阶级的生活方式反而会趋同……
