Everything about Revolutionary Alliance totally explained
The
Tongmenghui (
Chinese: 同盟會;
Pinyin: Tóngménghuì;
Wade-Giles: T'ung-meng Hui;
lit. United Allegiance Society), also known as the
Chinese United League or the
Chinese Revolutionary Alliance, was a
secret society and
underground resistance movement organized by
Sun Yat-sen and
Song Jiaoren in
Tokyo,
Japan, on
20 August 1905. This new alliance was created through the unification of Sun's
Xingzhonghui, or
Revive China Society, the
Guangfuhui, or
Restoration Society, and other Chinese
revolutionary groups.
Combining
republican,
nationalist, and
socialist objectives, the Tongmenghui's political platform was "to overthrow the
Manchu empire and to restore
China to the
Chinese, to establish a
republic, and to distribute land equally among the people." (Chinese: 驅除韃虜，恢復中華，創立民國，平均地權) Among the Allegiance's members was
Li Zongren, prominent
Guangxi warlord and
Kuomintang military commander and
Wang Jingwei, who would later serve as the collaborationist President of the Executive Yuan and Chairman of the National Government in Japanese occupied China during
World War II.
In 1906, a branch was formed in
Singapore, following Sun's visit there; this was called the
Nanyang branch and served as headquarters of the organization for
Southeast Asia. After the establishment of the
Republic of China, the Tongmenghui formed, in August 1912, the nucleus of Sun's new
Kuomintang, which translates to
Nationalist Party.
