warlords A term used to describe the leaders of personal armies throughout China. They dominated China from the collapse of central government after
Yuan Shikai's death in 1916, until the establishment of the
National Government through
Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition. Warlords usually had control over an area commensurate with their military strength, which enabled them to collect taxes and control other resources, such as manpower or food production. Most of them were either defeated in the Northern Expedition, or they accepted Chiang's leadership; as Chiang was dependent upon their support, they retained considerable authority in their own localities.
