1912 Provisional Government of the Republic of China

The 1912 Provisional Government of the Republic of China was an interim government established after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, following the 1911 Revolution. It aimed to transition China from imperial rule to a republic with a democratic system. Led primarily by Sun Yat-sen, it sought to unify the nation and create a modern government, but faced challenges such as regional rivalries and limited authority. Although short-lived, it laid the groundwork for China's future republican governance, marking a significant shift from thousands of years of imperial rule toward modernization and political reform.
