This party was led by SunYat-sen. In document three, “the three principles of the Guomindang” stating the points of how this nationalists party would run the country. The three principles stated “Nationalism: to get rid China of foreign influence, unite China and to regain its international respect, democracy: the people should be educated so that they could ultimately rule themselves democratically, and Social advance: this was essentially 'land reform,' the redistribution of land to the peasants and economic development.” At the same time the warlord era was happening affecting the Guomindang’s ruling of China. In 1921, the Guomindang allied with growing Chinese communist to defeat the warlords present in the country. In 1925, after Sun Yat-sen’s death, Chiang Kai-shek took over the nationalist and realized the communist were getting stronger.
During the beginning of the 1900s, there were plenty of revolutions and violence that took place. The Chinese revolution in 1911 and Russian Revolution in 1917 shared similar goals, they wanted to end the power of their current leader and establish a new one. For Russia, it was Tsar Nicholas II and for China it was the Qing Dynasty, Russia wanting a functioning communist government and Chinese revolutionaries wanted a democratic government.

The second outcome of the revolutions was that the countries were dramatically changed, two great powers were stopped and communist leaders eventually took over in the two countries.
CCOT Changes in Continuities in China Analyze the changes and continuities within China during the time period from 1850 B.C.E to 220 C.E During the time period 1850 B.C.E to 220 C.E China had many great innovations, great empires, and great philosophical leaders. Some of these things include the invention of creating steel and molding steel to decrease the time it took to create things which allowed China to excel greatly beyond other countries.

It should be recognised that before Chiang became ruler, there were many domestic problems which overshadowed China which created an unstable society. China was in desperate need for reform, democracy and strong leadership after the torment of the warlord era. China’s most major domestic problem was undoubtedly the warlords which had shattered and fragmented China and had led to political unrest. Chiang was able to launch an offensive called the Northern Expedition to remove the warlords and their hold over China with an alliance with the CCP. This had a massive impact on the country as it had successfully stopped civil and political unrest which had previously been threating the harmony of the country.
Although during the classical era there was a small break in the dynastic cycle it came back with the rise of the Tang dynasty, which was the dynasty that came to power after the three hundred years of chaos. Although there was much political pandemonium throughout China, the people still clung to the ideas and values that had existed in Chinese history for hundreds of years. For example, the teachings of Confucius continued to be taught and accepted. Confucianism is sometimes viewed as a philosophy and sometimes viewed as a way of life which was taught by Confucius in China between six hundred B.C. and five hundred B.C., Confucianism has been adhered to by the Chinese for more then two millennia now.
Ancient China’s Philosophies In China there were three major philosophies, which were Legalism, Daoism, and Confucianism. All of them played an important role in China. One major philosophy that came out of China was Confucianism. Confucians strongly believed in Duty, humanity, and the Filial Piety. Duty is a work ethic, it meant that you had to work hard to fulfill the duties and the affairs of society will prosper as a whole.

This is the fact that they all try to deal with these problems in the best way possible, or so they think. King Zheng of Qin succeeded in defeating the remaining Warring States between 230 and 221 BCE, ending one of the most violent periods in Chinese history.
