After the loss in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing created the New Army which was the best trained & equipped, the revolutionaries managed to infiltrate the ranks of the army and played an essential role in the rebellion that overthrew the Qing in 1911 and created the Republic of China.
If the Meiji Restoration hadn't happened and therefore Japan doesn't invade China, meaning that the New Army isn't created, would the Qing still collapse? Knowing that several uprising had failed in the past.
