[@johnkittoiv2572]

The biggest blow was watching as Yuan basically TRASHED everything. China under Sun could have seen a unified, successful nation built with strong ties to its people. Yuan denied that to his people and the modern world because of his own greed and ambition. Because of him, China would yet again dissolve into chaos and in itself breed the radical, authoritarian PROC. A civil war that would destroy so many lives and cause untold suffering to all it's peoples, and a mass suppression of civil liberties not unlike the Quing before them.

[@mitchellma6194]

Song Jiaoren is one of the most underrated revolutionaries in Modern Chinese History. While Sun was the diplomat, Huang Xing the military man, it was Song who was the organizer of the Revolution. Most of the soldiers who revolted in Wuchang actually admired Song more than Sun, and this is why he was chosen by the Kuomintang over Sun to lead them against Yuan. If he was not gunned down by Yuan on that fateful day at such a young age, it is probably he who would remember as the founder of the Republic and there is a good chance he maybe able to hold China together which would spare the nation a lot of bloodsheds. For anyone who is interested in learning more about the Revolution and Song's life. I would recommend them looking up the following book: Struggle for democracy: Sung Chiao-jen and the 1911 Chinese Revolution (1971) published by ANU.

Well, Yuan did not accept all of the 21 Demands. The demands could be divided into five groups: Group 1: Japan replaces Germany's sphere of influence in Shandong. Group 2: gave Japan a sphere of influence in Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia. Group 3: gave Japan control of the Hanyeping mining complex Group 4: China no longer gave concessions to other powers. Group 5: Japan gains control of Chinese finance, police, railways, Buddhist temples and schools, and Fujian, opposite of Taiwan. Group 5 was the one that made Japan the protectorate. The other four were literally repeats of what China already did. The Chinese government reached out to Western powers like Britain and the US, and played them against Japan. In the end China and Japan agreed to all the demands except Group 5. Even so, Shandong was given back to China in 1922 after a lot of protests, Zhang Xueliang turned Manchuria over to China in 1928, not sure about Group 3's fate, but eventually the Hanyeping complex was returned to China, and Group 4 there was no problem following.

Considering that, at one point or another, all factions (Yuan, the Kuomimtang, the Communists, the Japanese, a number of Warlords) had some reason to want him dead, I'd say he was quite lucky.
