The Significance of the Revolution of 1911 to the Content of History Textbooks

The Revolution of 1911 was led by the bourgeoisie, aiming at opposing absolute monarchy and establishing a bourgeois republic.

1, abolish monarchy

The Revolution of 1911 was aimed at opposing absolute monarchy and establishing a bourgeois republic. This is a bourgeois-democratic revolution in a complete sense. The accumulation of democratic consciousness greatly promoted the unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese nation, accelerated the growth of the working class in China, and cleared the initial political obstacles for the birth of the China * * * production party.

2. Emancipate the mind

The Revolution of 1911 resolutely overthrew the emperor in action, lashed and criticized the idea of divine right of monarchy and supremacy of imperial power in public opinion, and greatly promoted the people's ideological liberation. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the emergence of a group of enlightened intellectuals, various books and newspapers that publicized the revolution appeared one after another, and Marxist thought spread constantly in China, which prepared the ideological conditions for the birth of the China * * * production party.

3. International influence

The Revolution of 1911 had a wide influence on the liberation movement of oppressed peoples in modern Asian countries, especially on the struggle against colonialism in Vietnam, Indonesia and other countries, and it was also a great turning point in Asian history. Lenin regarded the Revolution of 1911 as "the awakening of Asia".
