Chinese Revolution of 1911 Kasey Paine change
Main causes that led to the Revolution • Internal decline of the Ch’ing Dynasty -political problems: corruption and inefficient leaders • External threats to the Ch’ing Dynasty • Spread of Anti- Manchu ideas -Chinese didn’t like being dominated by foreigners- Manchus Peace
Revolutionary Leaders • Sun Yat Sen: -“father of the revolution” - unified several revolutionary groups into one big group- Chinese United League • Huang Xing- formed the Hua Xing Hui • Followers of the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance: Hu Hanmin, Zhang Ji, Chen Qimei, Lioa Zhonnngkai, Zhu Zhixin, and Dai Jitao Sun-Yat-Sen Unity
Sun’s popularity • When in college- gathered and shared info about ideas to reform with other students • Began organizing secret groups and societies • Gained more popularity from common people and lower class- grew up in lower class Pictures during the Whunchang Uprising on October 10, 1911
Objectives/Goals • Over throw the Ch’ing Dynasty • Overrule the Manchus • Set up a republic- based off the United States and Great Britain • Distribute land equally to the Chinese people • Sun Yat Sen’s ideas: -maintenance world peace -nationalization of the land -continue alliance with Japan Perseverance
Elite and Religious Groups • Sun created Revive China Society- Hong Kong= wasn’t enough • Created the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance • China Revival Society- one of many groups for the removal of the Ch’ing Dynasty Whuchang Uprising
Elite and Religious Groups (cont.) • These groups were responsible for masses and revolts • First revolt- unsuccessful= Sun travels to other countries for help and sympathy- won Japan’s support • Waichow rebellion- longer but unsuccessful • 9 more revolts were fought still no progress • Failures = Japanese reaction- negative, Revolutionary Alliance fading, lack of food and ammo Fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness
Sun’s Strategies • Wanted small revolts-led to a bigger picture but was no good • Next move- to gain support overseas- worked • Also created uprisings in Southern China- thought they would result in provinces would repeat and overthrow Dynasty and republic est. in Southern China- failed • Wanted Revolutionary Alliance to create revolts in central China-mainland of Ch’ing Dynasty- failed • Revolutionary Alliance then created revolts of their own- became more effective hope
Whuchang Uprising and After Effect • During this time- Sun was in America- goes back to China • Whuchang- became a success- Sun thinks of one more strategy- wants to end Dynasty by telling foreign countries to stop giving loans to the government • Dynasty overthrown- Sun was leader- created 17 provinces • Nanjing- meeting to elect Sun 1st provisional president of the Republic of China simplicity
Several Power Shifts • Revolutionary Alliance had 9 revolts until Whuchang- shifted the power • During Whuchang- government pleeded to Yuan Shih-k’ia for help- wanted to keep power- not fully loyal to Manchus • Sun made agreement with Yuan- if he convince Manchus to give up the Dynasty, he would become new president- Yuan agreed and did so • Sun was president- stepped down- Yuan Shih-k’ia new president success
