Regime change seems to have been an inevitable cycle throughout human history. Before the Industrial Revolution, society was in a constant cycle: people were tired of it, revolutionaries rose up and gained the support of the people to overthrow the rulers. However, the new regime is often reduced to a new state of affairs, rekindling discontent and sparking political turmoil again. This pattern of reincarnation seems impossible to break.
In the history of China, this reincarnation has also been fully manifested. The reason for the fall of the old dynasty was often because of the emperor's brutality, corruption, disasters, etc., which led to the hardship of the people's lives and the turmoil of the country. As a result, various revolutionaries such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Futong, etc., appeared one after another to try to overthrow the old rulers. However, even if they succeed in coming to power, they often cannot avoid falling into the traps of previous regimes and eventually repeating the mistakes of the past.
The advent of the Industrial Revolution seems to have brought new changes to the world. In the case of the American Revolution, for example, Washington shocked the world by refusing the throne and even voluntarily disbanding the army. His decision demonstrates a new political philosophy of refusing to be the new ****, but to return power to the people. This was a huge change for the world at that time.
However, even after the Industrial Revolution, the political cycle seems to have persisted. Once revolutionaries succeed in coming to power, they often fall into the old political mold, enjoy the luxury of power, and eventually repeat the trajectory of history. This shows that despite the great changes that have taken place in the world, the cycle of history still exists.
The impact of the Industrial Revolution was not confined to one country or region, it changed the political landscape of the world. After the Industrial Revolution, the world gradually turned to the direction of freedom and democracy, and the political system underwent tremendous changes. However, even so, modern society still faces various challenges, including foreign wars and internal political turmoil.
As a country with a long history, China has also gone through various political cycles. Today, however, China has entered the modern world, and its political and economic system has changed dramatically. However, political challenges remain, which shows that human society is still in constant flux and development.
