Which period is known as the Warlord Era?

 

The period between 1916 and 1927 is known as the Warlord Era. The Warlord Era was a period of uncertainty, disorder and conflict in China.

It was a period when the national authority in China disintegrated; the country broke apart into a jigsaw of regions, each of which was controlled by powerful local leaders called the warlords. The warlords and warlord factions used private or provincial armies to exert and expand control. The Warlord Era was partly the result of growing provincial power in China. The Warlord Era ended in 1928 when the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek officially unified China.
