They did not explicitly put forward anti-imperialist slogans, and even fantasized about making concessions in exchange for imperialist recognition and support for the China revolution. They dare not directly answer the question whether the revolution will lead to imperialist interference, but only hope to avoid unrest and imperialist interference through an "orderly revolution."
They only emphasized anti-Manchu and the establishment of * * * and political system, but did not realize that they had to oppose the whole feudal ruling class, which led some old Han bureaucrats and officers to join the revolutionary camp. Influenced by the political situation at that time and the idea of compromise and concession, the revolutionaries finally even handed over the political power to Yuan Shikai.
Later, when reviewing the course of the Revolution of 1911 and summing up relevant lessons, Sun Yat-sen said: "Once upon a time, I was forced by the situation and had to compromise with the counter-revolutionary autocratic class. This compromise is actually an indirect reconciliation with imperialism. This is the root cause of the first failure of the revolution. " "Yuan Shikai, the leader of the Beiyang warlord, colluded with the great powers, and all the counter-revolutionary autocratic classes such as military bureaucrats depended on it to survive; The revolutionaries were transferred to them by the regime, and they failed, what else to say! "
Objectively speaking, the Revolution of 1911 took place in the era of imperialism. Imperialism will never allow China to establish an independent and prosperous bourgeois republic, thus depriving itself of China, which accounts for14 of the world population as the object of exploitation and slavery. Therefore, they used political, diplomatic, military, economic, financial and other means to undermine and interfere with the China Revolution, and fostered and supported their agent Yuan Shikai to seize power. The lack of anti-imperialist nature of the Revolution of 1911 and the compromise and concession to imperialism finally made imperialism collude with big landlords, comprador forces represented by Yuan Shikai, old bureaucrats and constitutionalists, and stifled the revolution from outside and inside.
