"China Revolutionized" by John Stuart Thomson is a recount of the early 1900s transformation in China, specifically dealing with the turn away from a system of monarchy to a new republic. It speaks on the troubles and political distress of the people that pushed them from the dynastic system to a new form of governance. The story begins on October 10, 1911, and goes on to describe the challenges that faced the Chinese people as they departed from the old system and looked to embrace a new way of life. Important people who played key parts in the saga are brought to light, showing how they looked to influence the move toward a new China. The drive for change is revealed as stemming from economic problems, corruption, and foreign meddling that pushed China into a state of revolution.
