辛亥革命与袁世凯登基的历史转折
辛亥革命的爆发背景
辛亥革命是中国近代史上的一次重要事件，它标志着清朝灭亡、中华民国成立的开始。 Revolution was sparked by a series of events, including the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911, which was led by Sun Yat-sen's Tongmenghui party and local revolutionaries. The revolution was fueled by widespread discontent among the population with the corrupt and ineffective Qing dynasty government.
袁世凯的崛起与复辟
After the fall of the Qing dynasty, Yuan Shikai emerged as a dominant figure in Chinese politics. He had previously served as Viceroy of Zhili and had been instrumental in suppressing rebellions during his time in office. In 1912, he was appointed as the first President of the Republic of China following Sun Yat-sen's resignation due to illness. However, Yuan soon began to consolidate power for himself and eventually declared himself Emperor of China in 1915.

Yuan Shikai's attempt at imperial restoration failed after only one year due to opposition from various warlords who were opposed to his centralization efforts. This led to a period known as "Warlord Era," where different regions were controlled by various military leaders who often clashed with each other over territory and resources. Meanwhile, Sun Yat-sen launched the Southern Expedition or "Hunan-Hubei Campaign" aimed at overthrowing Yuan Shikai's regime.

The event triggered widespread outrage against Yuan Shikai among both domestic and international communities , further weakening his already precarious position .
