The revolution of 1911: Turning point in modern Chinese history

---

The Revolution of 1911 is the most important event in early 20th century China. At that time the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled over China for 260 years, was overthrown, ending two thousand years of feudal monarchic dictatorship. With the subsequent establishment of the Republic of China, democracy and the republican form of government was able to strike a deep root in the hearts of the Chinese people. The revolution marked a major turning point in modern Chinese history, and had far-reaching influence on various aspects of social life in contemporary China. The book is edited by Professor Dong Caishi. The eleven chapters are written by Lu Bowei and Wang Guoping. Chapters one through seven are devoted to the political and economic conditions of China towards the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, the revolutionary activities of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the setting up of the Tong Meng Hui (Alliance Society) and the upsurge in the revolutionary situation. Chapters eight through ten mainly describe the Wuchang Uprising and the setting up of the Nanjing Provisional Government, the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the moving of the Provisional Government to Beijing and the usurpation of power by Yuan Shikai. Chapter eleven describes the industrial and commercial circles and the activities of political parties in the early days of the Republic, and the failure of the Second Revolution. The book, drawing on a rich library of historical research materials, probes deeply, albeit concisely, into the entire revolutionary process. Having absorbed the fruits of research on the history of the revolution made in academic fields both at home and abroad, the book can serve as introductory reading material on the revolution of 1911 and on Chinese Social and historical conditions before and after the revolution.
