The Revolution of 1911 was a great bourgeois-democratic revolution in China's modern history, with far-reaching historical significance.
First of all, the Revolution of 1911 dealt a fatal blow to the feudal autocracy. It overthrew the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China for more than 260 years, ended the feudal autocratic monarchy system in China for more than 2,000 years, established a bourgeois republic, and promoted historical progress. The Revolution of 1911 enabled the people to gain some rights of democratic republic, and since then, the concept of democratic republic has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the later historical process, no matter who wants to be an emperor and who wants to restore the monarchy, it will quickly collapse under the opposition of the people.
Secondly, the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the "foreign court" and dealt a heavy blow to the imperialist forces of aggression. After the Revolution of 1911, the imperialists had to change their agents in China again and again, but they could not find any ruling tools that could control the overall situation, nor could they establish a relatively stable ruling order in China.
Third, the Revolution of 1911 created favorable conditions for the development of national capitalism. After the founding of the Republic of China, domestic industrial groups were established one after another, and it became a trend to set up factories and banks. The economic power of state capitalism has been greatly enhanced in a few short years, and the ranks of the proletariat have also grown rapidly.
Fourthly, the Revolution of 1911 had a wide influence on the liberation movement of oppressed peoples in modern Asian countries, especially on the struggle against colonialism in Vietnam, Indonesia and other countries. During this period, there was a climax of the national liberation movement in Asia.
It is hard to say that there is a complete and thorough bourgeois revolution or bourgeois democratic revolution. The so-called thoroughness can only be said to be basically thorough. The successful result of the self-sinking class revolution is enough to make the capitalist system replace the feudal system, that is, the new exploitation system replaces the old exploitation system, and the replacement of the exploitation system does not require a complete break between the old and the new, but can compromise, integrate and coexist in many aspects. Many developed capitalist countries still retain monarchies and titles of nobility, which is an obvious example of incomplete revolution.
As a bourgeois democratic revolution in China, the Revolution of 1911 did not accomplish the fundamental task of anti-imperialism and feudalism, and its achievements were far less than those of the bourgeois revolutions in Western Europe and North America, but it was far better than those of European countries including France in eradicating feudal monarchy. A cannon shot of the Revolution of 1911 not only drove away the Qing emperors, but also made China's feudal monarchy, which lasted for more than two thousand years, disappear forever. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Sixth National People's Congress, although Yuan Shikai ruled zhang xun restoration by himself, it was only two short-lived farce, which did not interrupt the Republic of China, nor did it have the twists and turns of two empires and three republics like France. Therefore, the Revolution of 1911 was successful to some extent.
The Revolution of 1911 refers to the bourgeois democratic revolution that broke out in China in 19 1 1. It happened on the basis of the increasingly decadent Qing Dynasty, the further deepening of imperialist aggression and the initial growth of Chinese national capitalism. As a democratic revolution, the Revolution of 1911 successfully overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and ended the feudal monarchy in China for more than two thousand years. Republican thought was deeply rooted in the thoughts of the upper and middle classes in society, which opened a new era of democratic republic and established the first democratic republic in Asia-the Republic of China. The Revolution of 1911 was a bourgeois-democratic revolution in modern China, which brought inestimable political and ideological liberation to the people of China. The revolution has made the idea of democracy and republicanism deeply rooted in people's hearts. The anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle took the Revolution of 1911 as a new starting point.
