  10. THE END “If the idea of revolution is to win out, it must be through political enlightenment. It is useless to try to impose it by force of arms.” (Sun YatSen) America was one of the first nations to recognise the Republic of China, and the Shanghai American Schoolwas opened on the 17th September 1912, 7 months after the revolution ended
