The Century of Humiliation - Part 2 l HISTORY OF CHINA
The oppression of the
Chinese people during the first half of the
Century of Humiliation increased unrest in the country. More and more revolutionary groups formed and tried to destroy the ruling
Qing dynasty. The
Qing would finally fall by 1912, and because
Sun Yat-sen had passed on his role as the new president of the
Republic of China,
Yuan Shikai took power.
Later however Sun Yat-sen's
Chinese National Party Kuomintang would try to overthrow Yuan's
Beiyang government and unify the country.
The Kuomintang defeated the Beiyang government in 1928 under its new anti-Communist leader
Chiang Kai-shek. Reuniting
China would have to wait until after the
Second World War had ended. It would be the Communist leader
Mao Zedong who would, on
October 1 1949, declare the
People's Republic of China. Learn all about the era that led to the founding of the People's Republic of China in our second special on
The Century of
Humiliation.
