A great national democratic revolutionary movement aimed at ending China's more than 2,000-year-old feudal monarchy and establishing a democratic republic was a major event in China's modern history. However, there are many different views and different perspectives on its success or failure.
From the point of view of overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty and ending the feudal system, it was a great victory. This is a brand-new chapter in China's development history and the cornerstone of China's development in the political system. With the establishment of the Chinese People's Republic of China in China, the concept of democracy has gradually taken root in the hearts of the Chinese people, and many new, new and transformative trends of thought have emerged.
However, proceeding from its fundamental purpose, that is, the modernization of building a democratic, prosperous, strong, and harmonious socialism, the Xinhai Revolution was undoubtedly a complete failure. In China, although the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, it did not really achieve national unity and prosperity. The warlords' separatism and infighting, coupled with the intervention of various powers, have further plunged the nation into turmoil and crisis. In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to political corruption and social turmoil, it has not been well implemented, so Taiwan's democratic politics has not been fully implemented.
At the same time, the success or failure of the Xinhai Revolution was analyzed from a deeper level, that is, from the aspects of social and economic development and the improvement of people's lives. In this sense, the Xinhai Revolution also had its own failures. Although some social changes such as education and women's emancipation have been promoted to a certain extent, the living conditions of the masses of the people have not been fundamentally improved, and the living conditions of the people are still very grim.
In short, the Xinhai Revolution had two factors: success or failure. The success or failure of this revolution should be examined from different perspectives and on different time scales. But in any case, the Xinhai Revolution was a major event of great significance in China's modern history, which profoundly affected the entire history of China's development.
