To be honest, your way of explaining things is absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend your videos, if I had any friends that liked Chinese history...
I wonder how it would have played out for the Qing dynasty and its royalist supporters if they had fled to Taiwan and Hainan instead of receiving a series of military defeats and forced abolition/abdication of the monarchy? Would it have been allowed to exist as a separate entity? What if China avoided civil war by allowing a government model similar to that of Malaysia? An imperial Qing state that operated within the framework of a federated China?
The Xinhai Revolution didn’t really ended the Chinese Monarchy. It only ended the Qing Dynasty, and then recreated another Dynasty under Yuan, but it didn’t last long. The Xinhai Revolution supposed to end the Chinese Dynasty and bring forth a modernize and unified China republic.
The lecture series I followed on Chinese history never pronounced it with emphasis on the ‘huáy’. You might very well be right though. I don’t speak any Chinese. Fortunately my next series is about a part of German history. I do speak that so mispronunciations will be rare. 😉
Long live Imperial China! Long live three thousand years+ of Chinese culture and tradition. 1912 was the year China died... its awesomeness will be well remembered in the annals of history. May a new Dynasty return soon and lead us all into a golden age of culture, art, etiquette and good fashion!
Dude the Qing wasn't even the thousand of years culture and tradition itself. It forced the Chinese people to adopt to the Manchurian culture and tradition for 300 years...
Why didn’t the rebel force receive military aid from foreign powers? Like how the British were willing to provide military aid to the Imperial force in the Boshin War?
Cody Shi because helping Chinese revolutionaries could have lead to them being successful and more importantly the new government would likely have been anti imperialistic which for Europeans wasn’t good because they had a large stake in exploiting China

What happened to your Grande Arme
Is that Useful Charts I see in the background?
Yep, I love his work. Great addition to the house. 😉

Just one pronunciation correction its not Tong man wee, but rather Tung man huey as if youre saying heyyy but rather hueyy
Thanks!
It's the same character in both Nanjing and Beijing. I don't get why so many people pronounce them differently.
so it's more of a mutiny rather than a revolution.
A mutiny turned revolution for sure.
Tongmenghui is pronounced as Tong-mung-huày
The lecture series I followed on Chinese history never pronounced it with emphasis on the ‘huáy’. You might very well be right though. I don’t speak any Chinese.
Fortunately my next series is about a part of German history. I do speak that so mispronunciations will be rare. 😉
@@HoH wait you speak German
@@tyronejackson778 Not fluent but certainly able to converse in it. Better than my French for sure.
Long live Sun Yat Sen’s China Republic.
