Chinese National Revolution

The Chinese National Revolution, occurring mainly between 1911 and 1912, was a movement aimed at ending over two thousand years of imperial rule in China. Led by revolutionary groups like the Kuomintang (KMT) and figures such as Sun Yat-sen, it sought to establish a modern, republic-based government. The revolution culminated in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, China's last imperial dynasty, and the founding of the Republic of China. This shift aimed to modernize China, promote national unity, and seek democratic governance, significantly transforming the country's political landscape.
