6 lugl 1922 anni - Movement to Reunite China

Descrizione:

After the First Zhili-Fengtian War, there was a strong movement to reunite the northern and southern governments by having both Sun Yat-Sen and Xu Shichang resign their rival presidencies in favor of restoring Li Yuanhong as president of a united republic. Chen was enthusiastic but Sun felt the new government would be a powerless puppet of the Zhili clique.
Sun Yat-sen and Chen Jiongming soon split over the continuation of the Northern Expedition. Sun conceived it to have begun with the occupation of Guangxi. From there he wished Chen to push into Hunan. Chen wanted to pursue the peaceful unification of China and this proved to be the final straw that broke his alliance with Sun.
