These attacks contributed too much of the chaos during these three hundred years. After the three hundred years the dynastic cycle resumed, this was on continuity of the classical era.

Although during the classical era there was a small break in the dynastic cycle it came back with the rise of the Tang dynasty, which was the dynasty that came to power after the three hundred years of chaos.
Keeping Secrets Secret Over an extensive sixty year reign, Qian Long ruled China for much of the 18th century; the last era in which China was strong enough to disregard foreign influence. During this period, Qian Long received many pleas from external powers attempting to penetrate his powerful and mysterious kingdom. In a letter to King George III of Britain, the Emperor refused European wishes to infiltrate Chinese boarders. In addressing the King he exclaims, “As to your entreaty to send one of your nationals to be accredited to my Celestial Court and to be in control of your country's trade with China, this request is contrary to all usage of my dynasty and cannot possibly be entertained.” Despite the King’s urges to imbed an envoy in China to control European/Chinese trade, Qian Long gives many reasons why such things cannot, and will not, happen.

Eventually, nationalistic movements in these countries rose up in an attempt to get rid of foreign influence and gain independence. China was considered to be within the sphere of British influence. Britain never completely controlled the Chinese government, but did influence political and economic affairs greatly.
