I just watching a YouTube video about the mandate of of heaven saying that in the second opium war when the Europeans took beijing some of the population consider this as a sing that the current dynasty had lost the mandate of heaven .
Not only that but the occupation to some proved the Europeans were the "rightful" rulers
And like the mongols and manchu they would also establish a new dynasty of course the european didn't ( the comment claims because they didn't know they had this opportunity)
Asunming the comment is true ( if not then ok) and there were some in china willing to accept this how possible is this ?
I particularly say it's unlikely since controlling china would break the balance of power and I don't think any european power would allow some one to rule the whole of china ?
But is it possible for a war or clever diplomacy to settle this if so how would it look it not would the idea fail due to the fear or war or war it's self?
