The Revolution was preceded by decade of revolts since Chinese citizens had already been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing dynasty 1636-1912 for some time. The Revolution started in October 1911 with the Wuchang Uprising after which similar revolts broke out across the country. The Qing court then initiated negotiations with the revolutionaries. Both parties came to the agreement that the emperor who was just 6-years old had to abdicate in February 1912. Revolutionary statesman Sun Yat-Sen 1866-1925 became the first provisional president.The present work offers an authentic pictorial record of the first revolts. The work contains numerous portraits of important leaders of the Revolution and members of the Qing court grim photographic illustrations of the battlefields in Wuchang now the Wuchang District of Wuhan and Hankow or Hankou and images of the attack on Nanking now Nanjing including the preparations and the aftermath.The binding shows very slight signs of wear the gutters of the front and back endpapers are weakened causing the binding to be wobbly but the boards are still attached.

First edition 1st printing of this scarce illustrated pro-China work documenting the opening campaigns by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force and Navy during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Hostilities had increased throughout the 1930s following the first Sino-Japanese War in which Japan had conquered and absorbed Manchuria into the Japanese Empire. Chiang Kai-shek’s nationalist forces joined with the warlords of Hunan and Szechwan provinces to fight the Japanese after a number of provocations in the summer of 1937. Chiang Kai-shek believed that by initially attacking and bombing Japanese naval installations and troops in and around Shanghai he would force the foreign powers to ally with China to fight against Japan to protect their enormous investments in southern China. The Nationalist Chinese armies held out for three months against ferocious bombardment and shelling by the Japanese from planes based in Taiwan and ships on the Huangpu River inflicting huge numbers of casualties on the Chinese and eventually forcing the Chinese to retreat from Shanghai to Nanking with Japanese reinforcements constantly decimating them. These images show victims at the South Station bombings caring for Chinese wounded Chinese women training as soldiers and nurses in the aftermath of the North Station Area shelling and bombing bitter retreat by Chinese soldiers the advances and marching of Japanese forces in Shanghai and beyond.
