후궁에서 중국의 지배자가 된 여인｜서태후와 청나라 멸망의 진실

On November 14, 1908, the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty passed away. Just one day later, Empress Dowager Cixi, who had controlled the Qing Dynasty for decades, also died. The nearly simultaneous deaths of these two individuals remained a massive mystery for nearly a century. However, in 2008, a research team examining the Guangxu Emperor's remains confirmed lethal levels of arsenic in his body and concluded that he died of acute arsenic poisoning. Then, who killed the Guangxu Emperor? And how did Empress Dowager Cixi, who entered the imperial palace as a mere concubine, become the supreme ruler of the vast Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century? In this video, we trace the events from the Xinyu Coup, the Self-Strengthening Movement, the First Sino-Japanese War, the Hundred Days' Reform, the Boxer Rebellion, the New Policies of the late Qing Dynasty, and the mystery of the Guangxu Emperor's poisoning, examining how closely the long-held assessment that "Empress Dowager Cixi ruined the Qing Dynasty" aligns with historical facts.
