Early history

Independence

Liangguang declared independence from Qing dynasty on February 12, 1912 after the Xinhai Revolution. Luo Dechang became the interim president of the republic. The Liangguanic territory was only composed of the present-day states of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. The Nationalist Kuomintang government of Sun Yat-sen based in Guangzhou did not recognize Liangguang as a separate country and he insisted that Liangguang is a part of China. Luo questioned Chiang on his aim to unite China as a republic. The conflict between Luo and Sun resulted to the Liangguang Rebellion from 1913 to 1915. As a result, the country expand its territory to the present-day states of Yunnan and Guizhou. After Chiang lost in the war, the Kuomintang relocated to Nanjing due to the stronger presence of Liangguanic independence in Guangzhou.
