Why was China not colonized by any country? Yes it is often forgotten that large parts of China were essentially colonized. Japan's 21 demands asked for control of Northeast China (Manchuria). Manchuko was a puppet kingdom of Japan. |

How did a nomadic minority group the Manchus come to rule over China? Thank you for the correction, I guess hunter gatherers evokes images of prehistoric times, pastoralists is indeed the correct term. |

Historically accurate films about the English Civil War I think we can edit this question to fit SE. Maybe ask what are common inaccuracies in films about the English Civil War? Then we can use examples and reference accurate films? Just a thought. |

Role of Indian princes and aristocratic landowners under British colonial rule? I will post this as a question and try to answer it myself. It's a topic that I've put in considerable time researching. |

Did emperor Kangxi indirectly contribute to China's massive population and subsequent problem? People in any age had family planning abilities. How people managed is best left for another question. |

Role of Indian princes and aristocratic landowners under British colonial rule? I assume you mean how an outside minority like the Mongols and the Manchus respectively came to rule over the largest empire in Asia? In both cases the invaders became firmly assimilated into Chinese culture. The Manchus especially adopted Confucianism and especially favored the Song school, as mentioned in my question. Their own culture faded into the background as the dynasty aged and Han Chinese administrators were key. I would say it was different in China. history.stackexchange.com/questions/7617/… |

Did emperor Kangxi indirectly contribute to China's massive population and subsequent problem? My bias is that the population count increased because officials were now encouraged to be more honest. I don't think there was an actual population spike. Your graph helps this question tremendously! |

Why did China shut itself out of the world in the 15th century? If you already understand Confucianism, then maybe read Neo-Confucian Thought in Action: Wang Yang-ming’s Youth. Read the analects (Oxford) if you haven't. I haven't read Neo Confucianism in History by Bol but I plan to. These are pretty academic works and probably won't give you a completely satisfactory understanding but contain good parts in my opinion. |

Why did China shut itself out of the world in the 15th century? @Drux, thanks for your comment. I am not used to posting links unless they are special knowledge. Personally I see no point in linking wikipedia or other general resources but perhaps I should do that to get better answers. |
