Features: This book mainly introduces the content of Chen Huan being sent to Sichuan by Yuan Shikai to suppress the southwest, the development of the National Protection Movement in the anti-Yuan struggle, and the outbreak of the National Protection War in Yunnan. On December 12, 1915, Yuan Shikai, who had stolen the presidency of the Republic of China, dared to fake public opinion and issued an edict accepting the imperial system, preparing to restore monarchy, which provoked great anger among people of all ethnic groups in the country. The National Protection Movement, which had already been launched nationwide, was a continuation of the Xinhai Revolution and a continuation of the "Second Revolution," hence called the "Third Revolution." The purpose of the Third Revolution was to overthrow the monarchy in China and establish a republic. After Yuan Shikai's ambition to become emperor was exposed to the people of the country, it further promoted the development of the National Protection Movement. On December 25, the National Protection War first broke out in Yunnan. This revolutionary war was a great armed struggle led by revolutionaries led by Sun Yat-sen, various political forces, and the people of the country against Yuan Shikai. It was also another anti-Yuan armed struggle with greater depth, breadth, and unified support from people at home and abroad after the "Second Revolution."
