Why did Wuchang Uprising succeed?

Wuchang Uprising, also known as the First Righteousness of 1911 and Wuhan Righteousness, gradually led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty, which was a milestone in the history of China.

The reason for the success of Wuchang Uprising was 1. The main reason for the success of Wuchang Uprising is that Hubei revolutionary group Literature Society and * * * Progressive Association have laid a good foundation in the new army for a long time, and revolutionary soldiers have played their initiative and enthusiasm in the uprising.

2. With the rapid development of the revolutionary situation, the Qing government was isolated as never before, and the time was ripe. The outbreak of Wuchang Uprising is the inevitable result of the development of the national revolution. Without years of propaganda, organization and successive struggles by revolutionaries all over the country, there would be no Wuchang Uprising.

3. After the scam of "preparing for constitutionalism" was exposed, the constitutionalists began to divide. Some constitutionalists began to move closer to the revolutionaries.

4. The development of Sichuan Road Protection Movement provided an extremely favorable opportunity for the victory of Wuchang Uprising. The western adjustment of Hubei army and the emptiness of Wuhan created an excellent opportunity for Wuhan Revolutionary Party to launch an uprising. This is an important objective condition for the success of Wuchang Uprising.

5. Hubei has a good social foundation. Zhang Zhidong was a famous representative in the later period of Westernization Movement. After serving as governor of Huguang from 65438 to 0889, he founded Hubei Hanyang Iron Works and Hubei Academy. With the development of modern industry and commerce and modern culture and education, a new class and a new intellectual class have been formed, and the "Hubei New Army" with modern colors has been established. These factors objectively become the social foundation of bourgeois revolution.

Background of Wuchang Uprising 19 1 1 May, there were nine Manchu (seven of whom were royalty) and four Han. Known as the royal cabinet. The constitutionalists were disappointed, and a few people joined the revolutionary party. In order to gain foreign support and maintain its rule, the Qing court nationalized the commercial railways in Guangdong, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and other places, and then sold them to foreign countries, thus setting off a large-scale people's resistance movement-the road protection movement.

The movement was particularly fierce in Sichuan, where comrades' associations to protect the roads were organized in succession. The constitutionalists Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun were elected as presidents and vice presidents, with the aim of "breaking the contract to protect the roads", and the number of participants reached 6,543,800. The Qing government ordered a crackdown. On September 7th, Zhao Erfeng, governor of Sichuan, arrested Luo Lun, Pu Dianjun and other representatives of Lu Bao Comrades' Association, and shot and killed hundreds of petitioners. The next day, he ordered the dissolution of the local railway protection gay association. It aroused even greater anger among Sichuan people, destroying power lines everywhere, setting up checkpoints along the way and cutting off official communications. And under the organization of Long Mingjian, Wang Tianjie and others, he launched an armed riot, which pushed the movement to a climax and became the forerunner of Wuchang Uprising.
