There are many factors that led Qing Dynasty to an end. It

includes the internal and external pressures from inside and
outside Qing Dynasty. Corruption, foreign invasion, and famine
are also one of the important factors. Since the past, Qing
Dynasty has been very nationalism. They were so proud of their
country and think of themselves as perfect. This makes their
country lack of modern industry and technology, unlike Japan,
who have more advanced industry. Guang Zu, the emperor, was
trying to solve the problem, but he didnt accomplish it in the
end because of his aunt who really opposed his ideas. She put
him in prison and many years later, Guang Zu died.

At that time Qing Dynasty was very weak and this created
an opportunity for a revolution. San Yat sen come up with a big
reform that he will turn China into a military system and prepare
his people for a democratic rule. But, San Yat sen cant do that
alone, he needs someone to help, which is Yuan Shugai. But

there are lots of differences between both of them, since San Yat
sen wants China to become a democratic rule while Yuan Shugai
wanted China to become a dynasty like what it used to be before
during the Qing dynasty. At first, people agree with Yuan ideas,
but at the same time, there were some who doesnt agree with
his idea, especially the traditionalists. They were really mad at
him, since he abandoned his government and joined San Yat sen.
