Yuan Shikai Resigns as Emperor of China

March 22nd, 1916 108 years ago

Yuan Shikai, who declared himself Emperor of China in 1915, officially abdicated on March 22, 1916. His brief reign as the self-proclaimed emperor faced widespread opposition, leading to internal unrest and loss of support from both military and political factions. As a result, he restored the Republic and resigned, returning to the presidency. This marked a significant turning point in the political landscape of early 20th century China, reflecting the struggles between republicanism and imperial rule.
