Revolutionary Alliance




The new body 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 barbarians, to restore China to the Chinese , to establish a Republic , and to distribute land equally."

Among the Allegiance's members was Wang Jingwei , who would later be the leader of the Japanese Puppet State in 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''.
