Hello all, Yuan Shikai was a Chinese Revolutionary general who became president of the Republic of China in 1912. His tenure is widely regarded as little more than a corrupt dictatorship, and in 1915, he went so far as to abolish the Republic and proclaim a new "Chinese Empire," styling himself...

Let’s say that Yuan Shikai dies or something before 1911. Without him, how does the Xinhai Revolution unfold without Yuan? Would the revolutionaries still be successful? Would the fledgling Chinese Republic avoid the warlord period? Or would it fall apart?

So this was something I had made a WI thread about nearly three years ago, and I wanted to re-examine it. IOTL, the Emperor, upon his death, ordered the execution of the general Yuan Shikai, who was an ally of the Empress Dowager. However, Yuan Shikai managed to escape death. He would later...

What if Yuan Shikai overthrew the Qing Dynasty in a Coup détat around during or after the Boxer Rebellion, and declare himself Emperor. How would Foreign Powers react to this Coup? Would Yuan Shiaki modernize his new Empire of China like Japan Would he create a constitutional monarchy?

Here's a scenario that would make a great timeline. In a alternate 1916, lets say Yuan Shikai manages gains foreign support and investments from Europeans in exchange on joining the war and sending troops to Europe. After winning the National Protection War, Shikai assured the loyalty of his...

I read somewhere that supposedly the Guangxu Emperor included in his will that Yuan Shikai was to be executed upon his death. This never happened, and Shikai would go on to broker the abdication of the Emperor, leading to the creation of the Republic of China, and it’s fragmentation due to his...

So having read the SLP version of Superpower China, I was thinking about Yuan Shikai and was there any way to have him succeed at his Imperial Restoration with in the same veins as Kang Youwei in Superpower China. I guess I'm also asking what challenges he faced that he failed to overcome and...

The Chinese Empire I'm talking about is the Yuan Shikai one I'm not a expert on chinese history, but what I found on wikipedia about the empire says that "the Hongxian Emperor was opposed by not only the revolutionaries, but far more importantly by his subordinate military commanders, who...

In 1913, Song Jiaoren, first elected President of the RoC, was assassinated, almost certainly by Yuan Shikai. Had Song not been assassinated, whether through Yuan's plot failing, or through other means, how would China have turned out?
