Perseverance

6. Elite and Religious Groups
Sun created Revive China Society- Hong Kong= wasn’t enough
Created the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance
China Revival Society- one of many groups for the removal of the Ch’ing Dynasty
Whuchang Uprising

7. Elite and Religious Groups (cont.)
These groups were responsible for masses and revolts
First revolt- unsuccessful= Sun travels to other countries for help and sympathy- won Japan’s support
Waichow rebellion- longer but unsuccessful
9 more revolts were fought still no progress
Failures = Japanese reaction- negative, Revolutionary Alliance fading, lack of food and ammo
Fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness

8. Sun’s Strategies
Wanted small revolts-led to a bigger picture but was no good
Next move- to gain support overseas- worked
Also created uprisings in Southern China- thought they would result in provinces would repeat and overthrow Dynasty and republic est. in Southern China- failed
Wanted Revolutionary Alliance to create revolts in central China- mainland of Ch’ing Dynasty- failed
Revolutionary Alliance then created revolts of their own- became more effective
hope

9. Whuchang Uprising and After Effect
During this time- Sun was in America- goes back to China
Whuchang- became a success- Sun thinks of one more strategy- wants to end Dynasty by telling foreign countries to stop giving loans to the government
Dynasty overthrown- Sun was leader- created 17 provinces
Nanjing- meeting to elect Sun 1st provisional president of the Republic of China
simplicity

10. Several Power Shifts
Revolutionary Alliance had 9 revolts until Whuchang- shifted the power
During Whuchang- government pleeded to Yuan Shih-k’ia for help- wanted to keep power- not fully loyal to Manchus
Sun made agreement with Yuan- if he convince Manchus to give up the Dynasty, he would become new president- Yuan agreed and did so
Sun was president- stepped down- Yuan Shih-k’ia new president
success
