A Look at the Unprecedented Large Number of Revolts--On the Status Quo of Revolts in the Ten Years Before the 1911 Revolution

In the ten years before the 1911 revolution, there had been revolts throughout China in different forms and for various reasons. Most of the revolts were spontaneous and irrational, with no definite anti-Qing objectives. Both new and old forces were involved in these revolts, rendering the revolts extremely complicated. The social turbulence and a prevailing mentality of revolt were manifested in the frequent rises of the revolts and their mutual promotion, and formed one of the major reasons for the rapid success of the weakling capitalist forces in the 1911 revolution. On the other hand, the complexity and levity of the revolts also led to the failure of the revolution and the turbulence in the first few years of the republic, even in the first half of the 20th century.
