Kejatuhan Dinasti Qing: China Mencari Orde Baharu, 1911-1937 ( The Fall of Qing Dynasty : China Seeking for New Order , 1911-1937)

Abstract

The fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 led to the end of the old order which held monarch as a source of government. The Old Order has long been adopted and has successfully established 

a form of organized and organized government. However, in the 19th century, it had been challenged. This is because it had been seen as a hindrance to China's progress in failing to prevent internal and external problems in China. Eventually, efforts were made to end it and introduce a new order based on western ideas. Although they succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, the problem lay ahead when the republic was formed. This is because trying to replace an old order by creating a new order was not an easy task. China, a vast country with many ethnic backgrounds, is not easy for a new order to restore a stable system of government. The Sun Yat-sen, who led the eradication of the monarchical system in China, dreamed of a Chinese government independent of its lineage and elite. However, this dream only succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty but failed to implement political and administrative reforms. China, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, has become increasingly politically uncertain. Occasionally there is an attempt to restore the monarchy system. There are also leaders who have established their own regional autonomy system. The struggle for power and war also erupted to expand the influence of the local governments. It dominated Chinese politics throughout the years following the 1911 revolution to the Japanese invasion of China. This study uses qualitative research methods by approaching the first and second sources. The findings of this study show that China was still seeking the stability of the government until erupted World War II.
