<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>After [[Yuan Shikai]] proclaimed himself emperor of a new Empire of [[China]], former [[Yunnan]] military governor [[Cai E]] and [[Tang Jiyao]] launched the '''Republic Protection Campaign''' and declared the independence of Yunnan Province in 1915.<br /> <br /> In the ensuing civil war, Cai E led his army in an attack in [[Sichuan]] Province, while other leaders fought in [[Guangdong]], [[Guangxi]] and Yunnan provinces. [[Guizhou]], Guangxi, Guangdong, [[Zhejiang]], [[Shaanxi]] and [[Hunan]] provinces soon announced their succession with wide support from the people. Discord also began to surface inside the government. The accumulating pressure forced Yuan to abdicate in March, and he died a few months later. <br /> <br /> The Republic Protection Campaign was proclaimed a success with the provinces rescinding their declarations of independence.<br /> [[category:history]]<br /> [[File:The military leaders of the Republic Protection Army.jpg|thumb|200px|The military leaders of the Republic Protection Army]]</div>
