This is an unprecedented people's revolution in China's modern history. Basically overthrew the reactionary rule of the northern warlords and dealt a heavy blow to imperialism.

(2) It makes people undergo a relatively common revolutionary baptism ideologically.

(3) The anti-imperialist and anti-feudal slogans put forward by China's * * * production party are accepted by the broad masses of the people; The influence of party organizations among the masses has expanded; The party began to control part of the army. All these have become a new starting point for China's revolution.

Cause of failure

(1) Because the imperialist forces colluded with the feudal warlords, comprador and gentry in China at that time, the counter-revolutionary forces greatly surpassed the revolutionary forces;

(2) Because Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei, the Kuomintang Rightists in the revolutionary camp at that time, betrayed the revolution with the support of imperialism and the landlord and comprador classes, the revolutionary forces suffered heavy losses immediately, and the situation that the enemy was strong and we were weak was even more serious;

(3) Because China's * * * production party is in its infancy, it doesn't know much about the laws of China's revolution. Especially in the late Northern Expedition, Chen Duxiu's right capitulation mistake occupied the dominant position of the central leading organs and gave up the leadership of the revolution. When the counter-revolutionary forces launched a sudden attack on the revolutionary forces, they could not organize effective resistance, which led to the failure of the national revolution.

Lessons learned

(1) * * * If the production party wants to lead the people to win the revolution, it must adhere to the leadership of the proletariat over the revolution. In the later period of the Great Revolution, Chen Duxiu's right capitulationists emphasized that "all work belongs to the Kuomintang" on the issue of the United front, and adopted a right-wing policy of "all unity and denial of struggle" against the bourgeoisie, so as to abandon the leadership of the proletariat, suppress the workers and peasants' movement and maintain national cooperation at the expense of their fundamental interests. 1April, 927, when Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary activities were already obvious, he and Wang Jingwei issued a joint declaration, asking workers not to listen to "rumors" such as "Kuomintang leaders will expel the * * * production party and oppress trade unions and workers' pickets" in an attempt to hold Chiang Kai-shek back. In fact, it is to whitewash Chiang Kai-shek and paralyze the revolutionary people. After Chiang Kai-shek's mutiny, he touted Wang Jingwei as the left-wing "central leader" of the Kuomintang, which led to the failure of the revolution.

(2) * * * In order to lead the people to win the revolution, the production party must establish its own revolutionary armed forces. Insisting on armed struggle and compromise will only destroy the revolution. The main form of China's revolution can only be armed revolution against armed counter-revolution. Without the revolutionary army led by the party, there would be no status of the producer party and no victory of the revolution. On the issue of armed struggle, Chen Duxiu continued to oppose the establishment of the people's army under the leadership of the Party and suppressed the armed forces of workers and peasants. As a result, when Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei rebelled against the revolution and launched a massacre, they could not and could not organize effective resistance, which eventually led to the failure of the Great Revolution.
