Republic of China

The Republic of China, officially the Nanjing Republic, is a nation in Asia and is one of the many governments in China.

Xinhai Revolution
In the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion, the Empress Dowager Cixi had the more reformist-minded Guangxu Emperor, Aisin-Gioro Zaitian, poisoned in order to replace him with the younger and more impressionable Puyi. However, the recent decades of unrest finally spilled over as republican revolutionary Sun Yat-sen's Tongmenghui party rose in revolt from Wuchang. By 1912, the revolt had spilled across much of China with even the army mutinying against Beijing. At the insistence of Yuan Shikai, who had been recalled by the Imperial Court, the Empress Dowager Longyu signed the abdication for the Boy Emperor.

Politics
The Republic of China is an authoritarian republic led by Chiang Kai-shek. Major parties in the Republic of China are splinters of the Kuomintang. The main sub-branches include:


 * Kuomintang National Committee -
 * The ruling party of the Republic, the Kuomintang is the last legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Republic's founding father. While splintered, the Nanjing branch is headed by Chiang Kai-shek. Officially, the leading branch in Nanjing is the National Committee.
 * Kuomintang Left Wing-
 * A social democratic splinter of the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang Left Wing, also known as the Left Kuomintang, is in opposition to the National Committee and has close ties to rebel leader, Wang Jingwei. The Left Kuomintang is led by Soong Qing-ling, the sister to Chiang's wife Soong Mei-ling, Soong Ai-ling and T.V. Soong, and the widow of Sun Yat-sen.
 * C.C. Clique-
 * A collection of the political elite, wealthy, and influential generals. Headed by the Chen brothers, Lifu and Guofu, the C.C. Clique hold considerable sway over the Kuomintang's central committee. Other notable members include H.H. Kung, and Soong Mei-ling.
 * Kuomintang Right Wing-
 * The nationalist branch of the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang Right Wing, also called the Right Kuomintang, represents the more nationalistic interests in the Kuomintang's leadership, aimed at driving out any and all foreigners in China's borders. While the Nanjing branch lacks any formal leader, it is officially headed by Hu Hanmin, the governor of the Guangdong state.
 * Blue Shirts Society-
 * The extreme right wing of the Kuomintang, the Blue Shirts Society represents ultranationalists, militant revolutionaries and sympathisers to the European fascist movement.
