10 gen 1911 anni - 1911 Revolution

Descrizione:

Causes:
- Weak Government: Puyi was just 2 years old, so Prince Chun ruled as regent.
- Failure of political reforms: Manchu domination increased Han resentment
- Consequences of Army Reform: A Manchu controlled army was so costly that taxes were increased. General Shikai was fired, who was becoming too powerful.
- Sun Yat-sen brought ideas of nationalism and republicanism back to China.
- Resentment over control of railways: owners were angry that they were not given full compensation for giving up ownership of railways, angrering businessmen.
