Wuchang+Rebellion

 //GOOD ARGUMENT BELOW TO STUDY FOR EXAM// r During this time, there were **various conditions present** in China that helped to give rise to a single party state. For example, there was the Wuchang Rebellion - the overthrowing of the Manchu dynasty - the rulers of China for over 2000 years from 100 BC. The rebellion began in September 1911 in Sichuan and was spread farther in large part by Sun Yatsen and his 'Sword Chinese Brotherhood' - Sun Yatsen being one who would try to gain power. However, it was Mao that successfully used the conditions of a newly broken dynasty as one of his means in creating and ruling his single party state, because China needed some sort of ruler.
