At the beginning of the founding of Tsinghua University, it was also the time when the people of China were in dire straits. Anyone who has studied modern history knows the historical events of that period.
Tsinghua University's first decade:
19 1 1 year, the Revolution of 1911 broke out and overthrew the rule of the Qing government for more than 200 years. The following year, the Republic of China was founded, and China entered a new historical period.
19 14, World War I broke out, Japan and Russia went to war in Shantung, China, and China was forced to get involved.
19 15, Beiyang government secretly signed "Article 21" with Japan. At the same time, another famous university with the same name broke out a far-reaching new culture movement.
19 19 marks the convening of the Paris peace conference on the distribution of international interests after the war. China, as one of the victors, raised the question about? Abolish foreign spheres of influence in China, withdraw foreign troops in China, and cancel Article 21? Just after the request was rejected, German rights and interests in Shandong, China were transferred to Japan. The diplomatic failure of Beiyang government triggered a great student movement-May 4th Movement. More than 3000 students organized demonstrations in Beijing. Even under the suppression and obstruction of the military and police, the May 4th Movement quickly swept across the country, setting off a wave of workers' strikes and businessmen's strikes. In the end, the representative of China did not sign the Treaty of Versailles.
192 1 year, China * * * production party was established. The early party member, represented by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, saw the awakening of people's wisdom from the May 4th Movement. After several party groups were established in succession, the first * * * National Congress was held in Shanghai in July 192 1.
Since then, China has entered a new revolutionary period.
