It was internationally recognized as the legitimate Chinese government. The name derives from the Beiyang Army, which dominated its politics with the rise of Yuan Shikai, who was a General of the previous Imperial Qing government. After his death, the army fractured into competing factions. Although the government and the state were nominally under civilian control under a constitution, the Beiyang generals were effectively in charge of it, with various factions vying for power, contributing to internal instability. Nevertheless, the government enjoyed legitimacy abroad along with diplomatic recognition, had access to tax and customs revenue, and could apply for foreign financial loans. Its legitimacy was seriously challenged in 1917, by Sun Yat-sen's Guangzhou-based Kuomintang (KMT) government movement. His successor Chiang Kai-shek defeated the Beiyang warlords during the Northern Expedition in 1926-28 and overthrew the factions and the government, effectively unifying the country in 1928. The Kuomintang proceeded to install their Nationalist government in Nanjing; China's political order became a one-party regime, and subsequently received international recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124043927829,"sku":"W5137","price":610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/c18-017213.jpg?v=1692876772"},{"product_id":"china-republic-an-order-of-the-resplendent-banner-officerknight-case-w5138","title":"China, Republic.
