The main reason the Hundred Days of Reform failed during the Qing Dynasty was opposition by conservative political elites who saw the reforms as a threat to their power. The conservative faction within the Qing government strongly resisted the reforms proposed by the reformists, fearing that these changes would undermine their authority and the traditional structure of Chinese society. This opposition was a significant barrier to the success of the reform movement.
