10 oct 1911 año - Wuchang Uprising

Descripción:

The Wuchang Uprising takes place in the Hubei province. The southern provinces subsequently declare their independence from the Qing court, but neither the northern provinces nor the Beiyang Army have a clear stance for or against the uprising.
Both the Qing Court and Yuan Shikai are fully aware that the Beiyang Army is the only force powerful enough to quell the revolutionaries. The court requests Yuan's return, first as the Viceroy of Huguang, and then as Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet. Time is on Yuan's side, and Yuan waited, using his "foot ailment" as a pretext for his continual refusal.
