Abstract

[After the death of Yuan Shikai, the factional fighting between the now rudderless Northern warlords became increasingly open and intense, and within a few years, it developed into war on a considerable scale. The warlords all tried to engage imperialist countries as their particular patrons, and for their part, the great powers also tried to expand their influence in China by supporting one faction against another in order to combat the forces of other countries. Despite the resumption of a coordinated China policy at the Washington Conference, this policy of cooperation did not end competition between the powers. The foreign powers and the warlords needed each other, and the two competed together, producing complicated political situations and precluding any peace.]
