The 1911 Revolution ousted the Qing Dynasty and broke barriers to diverse developments in China. However, the 1911 Revolution only provided a framework of a republic and made changes in some particular aspects related to the immediate problems and difficulties of the society. Thus, the relationship between the revolution and China's subsequent development was very weak. On the one hand, I disagree with the last part of the statement that the 1911 Revolution brought new problems to China. The conflicts and problems that China suffered in the early/mid 1910s were mainly due to weak military strength, conflicting political organizations, and disorder in society. On the other hand, I agree with the first part of the statement that the 1911 Revolution did not bring peace to China. In the following paragraphs I will focus on explaining the reasons for the new emerging problems in China and also illustrate my points on the factors of the 1911 Revolution that failed to bring peace to China in relation to the conditions in the country. undoubtedly military weakness was one of the main factors that brought new problems to China, attacked by other countries. Many members of the Guomindang came from the bourgeois class, and the diversity of members was not wide enough. The size of the army commanded by the government was quite small, and some historians even claimed that the government did not have its own military force. Most of the military forces in the provinces had declared independence as revolutionary forces. Due to the existence and effects of the imperialist powers inherited from the Qing Dynasty, military forces were still governed by man, not by nation or law. Lack of integrated national banks. In political development, the “three people's principles” were established, and more ideas about democracy and republic were introduced into China. It also strengthened the unification of China. The 1911 Revolution was an important step in China's modernization process.
