Chinese Republican Movement

The Chinese Republican Movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aiming to end imperial rule in China and establish a republic. It was fueled by dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, foreign influence, and social unrest. Key figures included Sun Yat-sen, who promoted ideas of nationalism, democracy, and people’s livelihoods. The movement culminated in the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which led to the collapse of the imperial system and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period marked a significant shift toward modern governance, shaping China's political landscape for years to come.
