The 1911 Revolution ended dynastic rule in China and paved the way for the founding of Asias first republic. Triggered by an accidental bomb explosion in Wuchang modern-day Wuhan, the revolution marked the culminating point of decades of internal rebellion, foreign aggression and political decline; its leaders drew on a ferment of reformist and revolutionary ideas produced by some of Chinas greatest modern thinkers. Although the 1911 Revolution did not resolve Chinas problems, it changed the country for ever, clearing a path for modernization, and making possible the more decisive revolution
of 1949.
From the Opium War to the Warlord Era assembles a remarkable survey of historical photographs from leading collections around the world. The images stretch from the Second Opium War to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, from the Boxer Rebellion to the Russo-Japanese War and the outbreak of revolution, through the rise and fall of Yuan Shikai and the ensuing
Warlord Era.
Accompanying an introductory essay by the editor Liu Heung Shing are essays from three scholars of revolutionary China Joseph Esherick of UC San Diego, Max K. W. Huang of the Academia Sinica, and Zhang Haipeng of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reflecting on the causes, achievements and failures of the 1911 Revolution, and its enduring meaning.
