Ep. 45 | The Aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution
The Qing Dynasty formally came to an end on February 12, 1912, when the last emperor Puyi abdicated. That same year the Republic of China was founded and had a very rocky start. In today’s episode we look at the immediate aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution and what happened right after Sun Yat-sen handed the presidency of the new republic to Yuan Shikai.
Another barnburner of an episode here in Part 12. The 1960s and 70s witnessed a lot of turbulence in Taiwan.
