1913, Unknown Date:
Suiyuan was split from Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang fell under a warlord regime, and northern Shaanxi fell outside government control. Beiyang invaded Jin and took control of most of the province.
April:
Sichuan and Henan fell under warlord regimes. Yuan Shikai, the leader of the Beiyang Clique and president of China, was accused of abusing his powers after assassinating several opposition leaders.
May:
Zhejiang fell under a warlord regime.
July:
On July 10 Sun Yixian declared the Second Revolution, this time against the authoritarian government controlled by the Beiyang Clique. His new political party, the Guomindang, formed the core of the revolt. By the end of the month six provinces in the South had joined him, including the powerful Gan Clique under Li Liejun. Additionally, several military commanders in Sichuan launched a revolutionary in Chengdu in support of Sun.
August:
However, Sun and his allies were unable to sway a critical mass of support. Their troops were unable to effectively defend against attacks by Beiyang and pro-Beiyang forces. Ultimately, the battlefield inferiority the revolutionaries had experienced in the First Revolution now became the decisive factor. Then, the main enemy had been the weak Qing government, but with the Second Revolution directed specifically against the Beiyang, Yuan turned his full strength against the revolutionaries. Li Liejun and Chen Jiongming, leaders of the Gan and Yue Cliques respectively, were defeated in early August, with Beiyang forces then moving to attack Hunan and Nanjing.
September:
Nanjing fell on September 1, with Sun's remaining allies capitulating later in September, with Sun Yixian fleeing abroad again. Although Zhe had not joined the Second Revolution, Yuan Shikai decided to depose its KMT-aligned governor anyways. Qian also became a separate clique from Dian.
November:
Sikang fell under a warlord regime.
