China's Reformers and Revolutionaries | Sun Yat-sen and Kang Youwei

Consider Supporting HoH: https://www.patreon.com/HouseofHistory The last decades of the Qing empire saw the concurrent rise of a strong reform movement and the first truly modern Chinese revolutionary party - the Guomindang of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. This week we’ll look into the background of the important reformers and revolutionary movements within China, that eventually toppled the Qing dynasty. To be fair: this video is centred more around Sun Yat-sen, as the most important reform movements have already been covered in two previous videos. Sun Yat-sen’s story, however, well, the man certainly lived an adventurous life, to say the least.
