This article intends to analyze the western impact on China and
Ottoman Empire and its implications. It starts with a historical overview
on the contacts of the Western powers with China and Ottoman
Empire, and then focuses on the worse impact of the unequal treaties
imposed to the two nations, through which to try to find out what lay
behind the unsuccessful attempts of their Westernization efforts.
