How do we evaluate 1911 revolution?
The greatest influence of the revolution of 1911 on later generations was to overthrow the rule of the Qing dynasty, ending the feudal autocratic monarchy and establish the bourgeois-democratic republic so that the concept of democracy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and promoted the emancipation of the mind. It is different from the change of dynasties that is common in Chinese history, and it is not limited to driving out an emperor, but fundamentally shook the faith of most Chinese people, ended the feudal monarchy in China for more than two thousand years, and promoted the transformation of traditional Chinese civilization into modern civilization.
However, during the revolution of 1911, warlords in various regions also rose one after another. Everyone wanted to be the master of the country, so the revolution of 1911 was also influenced by warlords. Moreover, Yuan Shikai took advantage of the opportunity to turn the victory of the revolution of 1911 into his own bag and became the President of the Republic of China for 84 days.
