the Ching dynasty which was ethnically
Manchurian not Han took over China in
the 17th century and faced continuous
opposition notably from secret societies
like the chant a way and the White Lotus
but during the 19th century anti-qing
sentiment grew thanks to plagues famines
floods rebellions and unsuccessful Wars
against foreign powers the Jing proved
to be pure responding to these disasters
had accumulated a lot of debt still had
an antiquated army and struggled to
govern over a rapidly increasing
population so there are numerous
rebellions like the Tai ping the Dungan
and the yang and although these were
unsuccessful they were incredibly costly
and many different groups to the post
the Qing for various reasons some wanted
to give rights to women many more
advocated for democracy or at least a
constitutional monarchy and there were
powerful radical groups like Anika's two

Japan and elsewhere plus an 1894 during
the sino-japanese war a Christian who
had studied in Hawaii Sun yat-sen
created the revived China Society with
the aim of expelling the Manchurian Qing
from China from Hong Kong he tried to
start the revolution in Guangzhou in
1895 but the plant were discovered and
most of the leaves were arrested but
anti-qing sentiment continued to grow
when empress dowager Sisi launched a
coup against the Guangxu Emperor because
he tried to modernize China during the
hundred days reform in 1898 but despite
the ongoing Boxer Rebellion in 1900 Sun
yat-sen - a Joe uprising once again
failed so in 1905 in exile and Tokyo Sun

under the leadership of his new secret
society the Tong men way from America
Malaysian Japan the leaders gathered
many supporters many of which were
officers and soldiers in China's new
army who wanted to modernize China and
prevent further foreign incursions but
they also had the backing of local
gentry who felt disenfranchised by the
Ching political system and the new group
of intellectuals who had studied abroad
all benefit from the new domestic
education system but their first attempt
to start a revolution in 1910 in
Guangzhou failed once again meanwhile
many railway lines were being built in
China largely by foreign companies the
Ching started to allow local governments
to build their own lines however they
soon gave the right to build these lines
back to foreign companies in order to
make money and decrease building time
this led to large-scale protests in
Sichuan in august 1911 led by the
railway protection mu
many soldiers from nearby Wuhan were
sent to help quell the protests but the
revolutionaries were unprepared to take
advantage of their situation
however while making bombs one went off
and the police investigating the
explosion found a list of all the
revolutionaries in the area many of
which were in the army so the soldiers
of the new army that had remained in
Wuhan mutinied seized the government
building and created the Huub a military
government in early October 1911
telegrams were then dispatched to fellow
revolutionaries across the country who
simultaneously rose up in just a couple
of months tongue men way and their
allies took over cities like Shanghai

mongolian independence and 13th Dalai
Lama would go on to take out all Chinese
officials from Tibet effectively gaining
Tibetan independence as well meanwhile
the Emperor Puyi was just a toddler at
the time so Prince Jing who held the
newly created post of Prime Minister
largely governed the country he
initially tried to crush the rebellions
with force and had some success for
instance Yuan Shikai and his Bey young
army would want to defeat the rebels in
Wuhan and ma Ann Liang prevented the
rebels from takin CGM but Prince Jing
stepped down in early November and yuan
shikai became the new prime minister
shortly afterwards however Nanjing fell
to the rebels in early December and Sun
yat-sen was made president of the new
provisional Republic of China but Sonia
tends to lack the military force needed
to challenge Ranchi Kai's BAE young army
and was fearful that a prolonged Civil
War would encourage further foreign
encroachment so in early 1912 with the
help of foreign powers the two sides
ended peace negotiations Sun yat-sen
agreed to hand over control of southern
China to Yuan Shikai but you an had to
force Pune to abdicate and set up a
republic a parliament was created but
