History: Wuhan opened to trade in 1861, right after the Second Opium War. The British had finally received foreign trade rights in Hankou. In 1898, Zhang Zhidong, the Governor-General, sought to bring great changes and began a program of education and industrial modernization. He set up Wuchan to become a very modern, industrial city. The Wuchan Uprising overthrew the Qing Dynasty and finally ended the imperial rule of the county. When Japan threatened in 1927, the Kuomintang decided to move the central government to Wuhan. At the start of the Second World War in 1938, Wuhan was overtaken by Japan and it became the major logistics center for southern China.
