National Protection War
The National Protection War was a civil war in China from December 1915 to July 1916, caused by President Yuan Shikai's proclamation of himself as the Hongxian Emperor of a restored monarchy. Military leaders in Yunnan, including Tang Jiyao and Cai E, declared independence and launched expeditions against him. Under nationwide pressure, Yuan abdicated and resumed the presidency, dying a few months later.
