Episode 63 - The Double Ten Revolution

<p>China's decay by the end of 1911 reaches a point of no return and a revolution sweeps the country. The old Qing Empire ends in ignominious fashion as its hand-picked commander decides to parley with the revolution instead. The Qing went away, but the question of what came after would take over 35 years to be answered. </p> <p> </p> <p>Bibliography for this episode: </p> <p> </p> <ol><li>Fairbank, John K & Denis Twitchett The Cambridge History of China, Volume 12: Republican China 1912-1949, Part 1 Cambridge University Press 1983</li> <li>Sheridan, James E. China in Disintegration: The Republican Era in Chinese History 1912-1949 Macmillian Publishing Co, Inc 1975</li> <li>Bianco, Lucien Origins of the Chinese Revolution, 1915-1949 Editions Gallimard 1967</li> </ol><p> </p> <p>Questions?
