Abstract
The Chinese Revolution of 1911 began with the downfall of the Manchu dynasty and ended with the seizure of power by Yuan Shih-k'ai. Yuan became president in mid-February 1912 and dominated the government of the Republic of China following the coup d'etat in Peking in March of the same year. That was to be expected from the events prevailing inside and outside the China of that time. Yet lurking behind the scenes at the same time were the intrigues of Yuan. The Yuan presidency has often been called political speculation. Some even accuse Yuan of "stealing the fruits of the revolution through his trickery."
