Comprehensive Evaluation of the Revolution of 1911
The Revolution of 1911 was a great bourgeois-democratic revolution in the history of China. It overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, ended the autocratic monarchy system in China for more than 2,000 years, and made the broad masses of people gain unprecedented spiritual liberation, which opened up a new road for the development of revolutionary struggle in the future.

The Revolution of 1911 also created a new generation of wind and swept away the "custom harm" of the old times. The new ideas of bourgeois freedom, equality and fraternity began to blow the ancient land of China. Smashed the shackles of the feudal autocratic culture of "loyalty to the monarch", people began to think about society with new moral concepts and new values, and feudal morality was increasingly abandoned by people.

The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing government, abolished the feudal monarchy that lasted for more than 2,000 years, and spread democratic ideas. However, the Revolution of 1911 did not change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China, and the revolutionary task of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism was not completed.

The Opium War and the signing of a series of unequal treaties brought about fundamental changes in China society. China's territorial and sovereign integrity was destroyed and it began to lose its political independence.

After the coup, with the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the political situation of the Qing court gradually stabilized, and the ruling position of Empress Dowager Cixi was increasingly consolidated. 1895 After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Britain, Russia, the United States, Japan, France, Germany and other countries scrambled to seize the rights and interests of invading China, which quickly formed a situation of dividing up China.
