To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1896, Germany, Russia and France compelled Japan to return Port Arthur to China in order to maintain, as they stated in their de- ceitful diplomacy, the integrity of China, and provide for the permanent peace of the Far East. Then in 1897-1898, Germany took Kiao-Chao as indemnity for the killing of two German missionaries. Russia took Port Arthur to keep up the balance, England took Wei-hai-wei and France, Kwanchau. In each case, the impotent Manchu Government made treaties with the aggressi...ve "friendly powers, " giving them increas- ing concessions and privileges. But the people got anxious. These occidental aggressions led (1900) to the "Boxer Uprising. " China's common people sought to turn the white man out and keep "China for the Chinese. " But it was too late. Six "civilized" armies marched up to Peking, and, to teach China a lesson regarding the sacredness of treaties and the white man's "rights, " they saddled upon China an indemnity of 450, 000, 000 taels which at the protocol rate of exchange equals $332, 900, 000, far exceeding the actual costs.
