1. The open door policy was a positive result because it "opened the doors" to the future. The open door policy created the travel of ideas between many different imperial powers. It also allowed trade with other nations thus growing China's economy.

2. Introduced modern society- weapons, manufactures, trading methods. The westerners caused this result due to their advanced technology during wars.

Answer 2

For many Chinese, Imperialism was an incredible disappointment and humiliation. Historically, China, especially the Qing Empire (the government of China during the late 1800s) had been the most powerful country in the region, with most of its neighbors being vassal states with different degrees of loyalty. The Imperialist powers completely reversed this relationship, making China a subservient and broken state, covered by European and Japanese Spheres of Influence. Many Chinese fled the collapsing Qing Empire to find jobs and work in the United States and other countries. Many more were victims of the Opium Wars which reduced entire cities of people to opium addict. To add insult to injury, the Japanese, a former Qing vassal state began to conquer Chinese territories like Taiwan/Formosa and Manchuria, and overrun Chinese vassal states like Korea. China today is still profoundly affected by what they call "the Century of Humiliation", when the Imperial Powers carved up China and overran its territories.
