Click here to print. Students' answers will vary. The short-term causes of the Nationalist Revolution, which toppled China's Qing Dynasty in 1911, include widespread dissatisfaction with Qing rule, corruption, foreign domination, and military defeats, particularly in the Opium Wars and Sino-Japanese War. The failure of the Qing's reform efforts and economic instability intensified public unrest. Long-term causes included growing nationalism, influenced by Western ideas of democracy and modernization, and the desire to end centuries of imperial rule. In the short term, the revolution led to the establishment of the Republic of China, with Sun Yat-sen as its leader. Long-term effects included continued political instability, power struggles between the Nationalists and Communists, and eventually, the Chinese Civil War, which culminated in the Communist Revolution of 1949. |
