However, due to the opposition of the conservative forces, the reform finally failed. 4 Revolution of 1911 The 1911 Revolution was a revolution in modern Chinese history aimed at overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty and establishing the regime of the Republic of China. During the revolution, the Xinhai Revolutionary Army overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China.
