When are we going to see that Russian Civil War project?

Will it be a part of the Warlord Atlas?
It’s currently nowhere near finished.

The answer to your question, is (given that many RCW entities could totally be described as warlords) possibly.

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.

Great set of maps. But weren't the borders of tibet different in 1914?
In the older maps I showed Xikang being part of Tibet, but some further research (read, closer examination of sources I already had) has revealed that they only controlled it from 1930 to 1932, although I believe that Manigangexiang was occupied by the Tibetan Army from 1917/1918 to 1931.

I was more thinking of the disputed borders and who controlled what a la this:

A quick look at the major cities in the area reveals a population of around... 130,000, but since there's also a lot of towns and villages in there... I'd guesstimate 200,000 souls at most in 2018, which would make it the least populated state in the Union by far. And based on what I did in terms of research on it, they were 1) banking on that sweet tourism money coming in from Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone, and 2) they hoped that they could present a united front against FDR's New Deal, which the people in those remote areas of their states were against, but their relative isolation and disunity meant that they didn't have the ability to "resist" that policy.

So the low population is kinda by design: all three areas are rural backwaters located in already rural backwaters.

Also here's something interesting I found on my hard drive.

Some proposed borders of Tibet. I can't remember where I found it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in this thread. Also while the map labels this as being from the Simla Conference, it's actually from the Simla Accord of 1914.
 
I was more thinking of the disputed borders and who controlled what a la this:
Very interesting. I did find some information suggesting that Tibet maybe had some influence in southern Qinghai, but I didn’t find anything like that map. Do you have any more information about it?
 
Also, thinking about it I’ll definitely put that border into the maps, although I’m not sure which one to use?

If you check the thread it's from you will see my post where I note the book that I think it is from. I can't be sure as I remember seeing that map in a book once but I'm almost certain the book was newer than the late 1980s.
