The 辛亥革命 (Xinhai Revolution) was a significant uprising in China that occurred in 1911. It aimed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled for over 250 years, and to establish a republic. The revolution was fueled by widespread dissatisfaction with the Qing government, foreign influence, and social inequality. The revolution began on October 10, 1911, with the Wuchang Uprising, leading to the rapid spread of revolutionary sentiments across the country. By early 1912, the Qing Dynasty officially ended, and the Republic of China was established, with 孙中山 (Sun Yat-sen) as a key figure in the movement.
