Description:
At the end of the 19th century, China began to open its borders to foreigners. Leaders of the industrial and imperial nations of Europe were very interested in access to China’s markets and raw materials. Government and business interests in the United States shared similar interests, but advocated a different, more conciliatory approach, as illustrated by this cartoon.
