Listen "The 1911 Revolution"
Episode Synopsis
October 10, "Double Ten," is the National Day or Independence Day of the Republic of China, now Taiwan. October 10, 1911, is a date indelibly engraved in Chinese history. But what exactly happened back then? This is the story of the 1911 Revolution. We discuss the decades leading up to it; Sun Yat-sen, the individual most responsible for bringing it about, and his partly American upbringing; and the fateful events on October 9-10 that ended all the millennia of monarchy in China.Support the show
