When a bomb exploded in the Russian Concession Zone in the Chinese city of Hankou, nobody could predict the ripple effect that would result from it. Imperial Chinese soldiers discovered membership registers of thousands of revolutionary cells... among them many of their colleagues. These rebels, understanding they would be put against the wall if they did not act fast, rose up against the Qing Dynasty. Like an oil spill, the rebellion spread over China until China's final Emperor, Puyi, could do no more but abdicate.
