2. Early Years
Sun Yat Sen founded ‘Revive China Society’ in Hawaii on
24th November 1894.
In 1905, he created the Tongmenghui who wanted to
overthrow the Qing Dynasty and to form a republic.
They planned the Xinhai Revolution of 1911,and supported
the founding of the Republic of China on 1st of January,
1912. Did not have support of the military and gave
command to Yuan Shikai.
3. Ideology in China
The Guomingdang was a nationalist revolutionary party.It
was based on democratic centralism.
Chiang Kai-shek (Leader after Sun) thought that warlords
were old fashioned and backward.
The party was anti-communist and anti-foreigner, mostly
anti-American. They were trying to get rid of foreign
influence in China so that she could once again develop
into the great nation she once was.
4. Sun Yat-sen
Sun is commonly known as ‘The Father of the
Nation’.
Sun was dead, by the time his party
consolidated his power.
He founded the Guomingdang.
5. Failure
In 1913, Guomindang politicians in four
provinces declared independence from Beijing.
Yuan Shikai immediately sent his army to
capture Nanjing, forcing Sun to flee to Japan.
6. Reforms
By 1923 the parliamentary party had
transformed into a political-military revolutionary
moment as Sun realised the party needed to be
more powerful in the military aspect.
Sun gained support from southern warlords, and
formed an alliance with the Chinese and
Russian communists--of whom helped improve
the party’s disipline, military training and tactics.
7. Chinese Civil War
War between the kuomintang and communist party of
China.
War began in August 1927
Civil War was ceased in 1937 to counter the Japanese
forces from World War 2
The conflict eventually resulted in two de facto states, the
Republic of China(ROC) in Taiwan and the People's
Republic of China (PRC) in mainland China, both claiming
to be the legitimate government of China.
8. Now
The guiding ideology is the Three Principles of the People,
advocated by Sun Yat-sen. Its party headquarters are
located in Taipei. It is currently the ruling party in Taiwan,
and holds the most seats in the Legislative Yuan. The KMT
is a member of the International Democrat Union. Current
