Question: Sun yat-sen (Father of modern china)!?
Okay i know he's knwo nas the father of modern china and he founded the KMT!. but if you do research he failed every single one of his uprisings and was expelled from his own government in later life!. also during the revolution of 1911, he wasn't even in the country when the Qing dynasty was overthrown, so how could he be the father of modern china!?

He did soemthing about the warlords but died b4 the KMT consolidated its power (under chiang Kai-Shek)

So whats his most important accomplishment if all he did was set up the nationalist party (KMT)

thank you so much!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sun's chief legacy resides in his developing a political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People (The People's Relation/Connection, The People's Power, and the People's Livelihood/Welfare, or sometimes known as nationalism, democracy, and socialism depending on the translation)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
