There had been warning signs: throughout the 19th century, the people were growing increasingly weary of their ancient, hereditary monarchy, looking instead to the democratic republics that were emerging across Europe and beyond. The Qing imperial court, however, was too slow to react and too reluctant to reform. Revolts began in 1911 and culminated in the Wuchang Uprising, which ousted the Qing entirely and fundamentally transformed China into Asia's first republic. The new republic was, in theory, based on the Three People's Principles of its first president, Sun Yat-sen: nationalism, democracy, and socialism. The new government would face significant challenges and eventually lost control of mainland China in a wildly destructive civil war to the Chinese Communist Party in 1949.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese banknotes date mostly to this period, with one from the later People's Republic that overthrew the previous government in 1949. Notes date from 1928 to 1980 and come in a variety of denominations.
