Establishment of libraries and schools was initially the core activity of the revolutionaries in Macao; and modernized Cantonese dramas were used as a means to promote the idea of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Whilst local residents were barely enlightened by such effort, members of Chinese United League initiated a military force in Macao to invade Shiqi and successfully took over Xiguan, respectively in the vicinity of and in Guangzhou, in November of 1911. / In the 1920's, led by Sun Yat-sen, the military government of Guangzhou provided armed support to the Chinese labors in Macao and sent battleships to garrison duty in the inner harbor in preparation of reclaiming the territory in 1922. Such effort, however, was put to a halt when the Presidential Palace was bombarded by an army headed by Chen Jionming. / Since the "Nationalist revolution" (Guomin geming) concept got its first hearing in the Revolutionary Tactics of Chinese United League (Tongmeng hui Geming Fanglue), it became a popular slogan used by revolutionaries from early 1900's to mid-1920's. During the period, South China region was the hub of revolutionary movement; and, with its colonial identity, Macao played a unique role in it. / Subsequent to establishment of the Republic of China, a significant number of members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party (Zhonghua Gemingdang) fled to Macao to pursue the anti-Yuan Shikai movement. With the major revolutionaries being closely watched over and suppressed by the Macao Portuguese government as well as the warlord administration in Guangdong, most of the military uprisings planned in Macao eventually came to failure. / When the First United Front of the Chinese Nationalist Party and the Communist Party of China was formed, members of both parties arrived at Macao to support the Guangzhou-Hong Kong General Strike of 1925 as well as to plan for a strike in Macao. However, due to the struggle between the Guomindang and the Chinese Communist Party and subsequent Northern Expedition, Macao's role in the "Nationalist revolution" diminished and finally came to an end in 1926. / 何偉傑. / Adviser: Choi Chi Cheung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 71-01, Section: A, page: 0291. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong,2009. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 293-342). / Electronic reproduction.
