Asia Pacific 106 years ago today: Second Chinese Revolution (28 Jul 1913) https://buff.ly/2MhadrL Although military strongman Yuan Shikai had been made provisional president of the new Republic of China to preserve peace, he soon began acting more and more dictatorial, cracking down on Sun Yatsen's Nationalist Party (the Kuomintang). In 1913, Sun attempted to launch another revolution but was forced to flee to Japan. #asiapacific #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1910s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1913 #chinesehistory #japanesehistory #july #july28 #kuomintang #chineserevolution #chineseempire #qingdynasty #sunyatsen #yuanshikai #warlordchina #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Wuhan, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0c86vgAIe9/?igshid=1x2t2xbjb6mv0

Asia Pacific 94 years ago today: Shanghai Incident (30 May 1925) https://buff.ly/2HJQFJE Feng Yuxiang’s Guominjun and his Fengtian allies divided northern China between them, setting up former leader Duan Qirui as their puppet president of China. To the anger of the Chinese people, the foreign powers recognized this new regime over Sun Yatsen’s populist Kuomintang in the south. Public resentment only increased with Sun Yatsen’s death just a few months later. Matters came to a head when the foreign-run municipal police opened fire on protesters in Shanghai, sparking anti-foreign riots across China. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1920s #1925 #china #chinesehistory #warlordchina #japanesehistory #may #may30 #shanghai #britishempire #imperialism #maps #welovehistory #historytoday #todayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #asianhistory #kuomintang #colonialism #worldhistory #modernhistory #20thcentury #sunyatsen (at Shanghai, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFMYIKAnSN/?igshid=5noa83104mtw

Asia Pacific 91 years ago today: Jinan Incident (11 May 1928) https://buff.ly/2LCi6JH Aided by the Guangxi clique, the Chinese Nationalists drove the Communists into the mountains in late 1927. With the Communists out of the way, Chiang Kaishek was ready to resume his march on Beijing. However when he attacked the Fengtian clique, the Japanese intervened, expelling the Nationalists from the strategic city of Jinan. #asiapacific #history #20thcentury #map #1920s #1928 #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #fengtian #liaoning #japan #japanesehistory #kuomintang #may #may11 #warlordchina #manchuria #chineserevolution #jiangjieshi #chiangkaishek #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #welovehistory (at Jinan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxULLYigujh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjgfzez39irw

Asia Pacific 100 years ago today: May Fourth Movement (04 May 1919) https://buff.ly/2PI8ACR World War I ended with Allied victory in November 1918. At the ensuing Paris Peace Conference, Japan was granted the German-leased Chinese territories it had occupied during the War. This provoked nation-wide protests in China, leading to the Chinese government signing a symbolic separate peace with Germany. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1910s #1919 #maythefourth #republicofchina #chinesehistory #germanempire #japaneseempire #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #may #may4 #russiancivilwar #warlordchina #worldwari #ww100 #greatwar #ww1 #wwi #worldwar1 #maps #todayinhistory #welovehistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historynerd (at Beijing, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxCNtxMAPdL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wygwp4b237o2

Asia Pacific 97 years ago today: Washington Naval Conference (06 Feb 1922) https://buff.ly/2HW10Vj Growing tensions between the U.S., Britain, and Japan over fleet construction led to the Washington Naval Conference, the world’s first disarmament conference. The participants agreed to limit their fleet sizes, maintain the status quo in the Pacific, and guarantee China’s independence. Britain also ended the Anglo-Japanese Alliance while Japan agreed to restore Kiautschou Bay to China. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1920s #1922 #chinesehistory #february #february6 #frenchempire #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #empireofjapan #britishempire #ussr #sovietunion #usnavy #imperialnavy #warlordchina #royalnavy #maps #navalpower #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historygeek #historybuff #historynerd #worldhistory #navalhistory (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bth75G8AAGG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3frbznuc9uez

Asia Pacific 90 years ago today: Northeast Flag Replacement (29 Dec 1928) https://buff.ly/2ETkwiF Japanese attempts to halt the Nationalist advance in China were thwarted when the warlord Yan Xishan unexpectedly seized Beijing on behalf of Chiang Kaishek’s Nationalist government. The other warlords soon followed suit in recognizing the Nationalist regime in Nanjing, culminating in December with the Fengtian clique raising the Nationalist flag in the cities of the northeast. Once again China was united, albeit more as a coalition of warlords than a centralized state. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1920s #1928 #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #december #december29 #fengtian #japan #japanesehistory #kuomintang #manchuria #mukden #warlordchina #chiangkaishek #jiangjieshi #maps #chineseunification #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #asianhistory #worldhistory (at Shenyang, Liaoning) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9dkWhAU8n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lgt1rj54n3rj

Southern Asia 88 years ago today: Sino-Tibetan War (26 Mar 1931) https://buff.ly/2V1O4PP By the early 1930s, Chiang Kaishek’s Nationalists had reunified much of China, encouraging the remaining warlords to side with him. Tibet, whose independence remained unrecognized, soon came into conflict with some of these warlords when it asserted its claim to monasteries on its eastern border. The warlords defeated the Tibetans, eventually agreeing to a truce in 1932. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1930s #1931 #march #march26 #xikang #maps #britishempire #chinesehistory #tibet #kingdomoftibet #warlordchina #warlords #warlordism #asianhistory #worldhistory #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #modernhistory #20thcentury #chiangkaishek #jiangjieshi #republicofchina (at Qamdo, Xizang, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdkKbWAgkL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x53cedcpi0ro

Asia Pacific 87 years ago today: Creation of Manchukuo (18 Feb 1932) https://buff.ly/2S5numx The Japanese Army, moving without orders from the government in Tokyo, used the Mukden Incident as an excuse to invade Manchuria. Chiang Kaishek was preoccupied with fighting the Communists and unable to stop them. In February, with the Japanese conquest all but complete, Manchuria was declared independent as the puppet state of Manchukuo. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1930s #1932 #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #february #february18 #manchukuo #japanesehistory #manchuria #sinojapanesewar #warlordchina #maps #japaneseempire #pacificwar #todayinhistory #asianhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldwar2 #ww2 #worldwarii #wwii #secondworldwar (at Shenyang, Liaoning) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuA9Vk6AJq3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h6oy64n5j1um
