@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialOn #ThisDayInHistory in 1911, the #WuchangUprising began in #Hubei, #China. The armed revolt against the #Qing state came as a surprise, but its success led #SunYatSen et al. to call on other provinces to secede and form the #RepublicOfChina in what became the #XinhaiRevolution.
