E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "The Fight for the Republic in China" by B. L. Putnam Weale is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around World War I. The book delves into the complex political upheavals that led to the establishment of the Chinese Republic following the fall of the Qing Dynasty. It explores the various forces, ideologies, and key figures, such as Yuan Shih-kai, that shaped this tumultuous period in Chinese history. The opening of the work sets the stage by detailing the intricate dynamics of power and ideology during the late Qing Dynasty's collapse and the ensuing revolution. It describes the historical context leading to the 1911 revolution, including the persistent efforts to expel the Manchus and the socio-economic factors that influenced public sentiment. The narrative introduces key players in this political drama, notably Yuan Shih-kai, whose maneuvers during and after the revolution ultimately positioned him as a pivotal leader. The beginning provides a thorough background of the historical grievances that ignited revolutionary fervor while highlighting the significance of the struggle for modern governance in China.
