China is a really fascinating place. Chinese history was one of the most challenging classes I took as an undergraduate but well worth it. I had a great professor. Tough grader but I loved how he taught the class because we learned about how the history impacted average Chinese citizens as well as famous names like Mao, Sun Yat-sen, & Chiang Kai Shek.

The history of China since 1900 is fascinating by itself. Sun Yat-sen had so many great ideas for the republic, but he lacked the support and the necessary political skills to pull them off. Then the Japanese invaded.
