Yuan Shikai · Full chronicle and history

Yuan Shikai died in 1916, and his attempt to declare himself emperor ended with him; subsequently, China entered the Warlord Era.

After Yuan Shikai declared himself emperor, Cai E launched the National Protection War in Yunnan, and other figures subsequently joined the anti-Yuan campaign.

Yuan Shikai declared himself emperor in 1915, changing the state name to the Empire of China, which triggered opposition from the Beiyang warlords and various regions.

After the failed anti-Yuan campaign, Yuan Shikai ordered the dissolution of the Kuomintang and the confiscation of the credentials of 438 members of parliament.

After Cixi's death, two-year-old Puyi succeeded to the throne, Prince Regent Zaifeng took power, and then dismissed Yuan Shikai, who controlled the Beiyang New Army, from office and sent him back to his hometown.
