Timeline

First Phase

• Conflict over power-sharing in the new government led to the collapse of the Provisional Bai Recovery Administration.
  • The Alliance leadership was fractured already even during the War of Fellow Brothers, and was even exploited by Fascist agents in the Alliance. It was only with Chen Yijing's rise as commander when the Fascist agents were flushed out. Chen, a moderate deemed accepted by the Alliance ranks, was able to unite the anti-fascist movement and even after her death, the Alliance continued to move on in her name.
  • A rivalry emerged between right-wing Pang Songshan and left-wing Wu Chunshan. Pang was an anti-communist who distrusted the communists and hoped to exclude them from the elections, fearing a communist takeover of the country. This comes with Kuehong's October 31st Movement and Cinasia's descent into civil war between republic forces and the communists. Wu, on the other hand, hoped to establish a democratic socialist republic as envisioned by his predecessor Chen. Believing he had the support of the population, he and a few other commanders were plotting to oust Pang and claim leadership for himself.
  • Wu was betrayed by rival socialist Huang Yusheng, whose ideology clashed with Wu. An attempt by Wu to oust Pang foiled, which gave Pang the "excuse" to have the communists disbanded. Wu and his associates fled before they were arrested, and Pang was soon assassinated, succeeded by Wang Dao. Dao began a purge to consolidate power for himself and decided to suspend the holding of elections indefinitely, leading to an uprising in the capital that was brutally crushed.
  • Dao was subsequently ousted by other commanders led by Pei Yun who formed the Central Clique (Xiongjing Government).
• Meanwhile, Fascist commanders fled and retreated to the west of the nation, outside of the influence of the Xiongjing Government. However, plenty faced resistance with communist uprisings or continued revolts.
• Communists went into infighting after ideology splits between Shan Cungou and Huang Yusheng. Kanglapo supported the establishment of the People's Governorate led by Huang. Shan and his Socialist Republic pledged support to the Xiongjing Government.
• Large-scale fighting ceased with a brokered deal between the Xiongjing government and some of the Fascist remnants, with the establishment of the Bai Federation. The weakened Central Government, however, has not much power beyond the capital, with administration at the provincial level delegated to local communes and military forces.

Second phase

• Fighting broke out between the People's Governorate and Socialist People's Republic as the People's Governorate launching an offensive against the cliques under the Xiongjing government sphere of influence
• Attempt by the Riqing Coastal Clique to coup the Xiongjing government was repelled due to lack of support and the Yi Kingdom intervention. However, this broke the trust between the Xiongjing Government and the other fascist remnants.
• The Southern Bai Military Governorate intervened in the communist civil war on the side against the People's Governorate. War halted as Kanglapo threatened direct military intervention

Warlord Era

The People's Governorate (人民省) was a communist state that existed during the warlord era. At its fullest extent, the largest communist faction during the Warlord Era controlled various provinces in southern Bai. While administered by Bai communist leaders, the territory remained occupied by Kanglapolish forces as per the Changgang Concordance. The Kanglapolish forces withdrew in 1959, leading to the collapse of the Governorate shortly after.

Wu Chunshan, the leader of the communist forces in the Alliance, broke off from the Provisional Bai Recovery Administration and, with the assistance of Kanglapo, established the People's Governorate in 1947. The People's Governorate was governed by Wu's party – the United Bai Workers' Party – which imposed a centrally planned economy. With Kanglapolish assistance, the territory saw industrial and infrastructure development, making the Governorate to be one of the most successful economy among the Bai factions. After Wu's death in 1955, the Governorate underwent a succession crisis, until Kanglapo installed Zhao Shengming, who would govern the territory until his surrender to Yu Zeming's unification forces.

Qiongzhu

Qiongzhu Republic

The Republic of Qiongzhu was a self-proclaimed independent entity that existed during the Warlord Era, from 1943 to 1964. Through its existence, it was parliamentary democracy having control over the Qiongzhu Islets. The republic was dissolved through the Siege of Qiongzhu, as the newly-established New Bai Empire forcibly annexed the islets in 1964.

With the collapse of the Fascist regime, and the Xiongjing Authority (Central Clique) being unable to exercise its authority beyond its immediate regions, the Republic was established on 1 May 1943. The republic managed to fend off numerous incursions by fascist remnants and repealed a communist uprising in 1944. The Republic was able to defend itself using the former fascists' military installations and military assistance from the Federal States and Cinasia.

However, with the rise of the New Bai Empire, a blockade was imposed on the island. Negotiations stalled as the government rejected to unify with the Empire unless it lifts the embargo. With the worsening economic situation during the Siege, the Republic eventually surrendered to the Empire on 4 January 1964. Most of the Republic leadership was executed for treason and martial law was imposed on the islands until 1985.

Benevolent Terror

The Benevolent Terror refers to the suppression of political dissidents during the Regency Era. Many who were arrested and/or purged during the period were labelled as "traitors" or "bandit spies" as Regent Yu Zeming assumed power over the newly reunified Bai Empire. Fearing resistance against his rule, many of those imprisoned were those who worked with the former administrations that existed during the Warlord Era, including the Central Clique and the Qiongzhu Republic.

The Terror began shortly as Yu Zeming ascended as Regent of the New Bai Empire. During the Coronation of his son, Yu had arranged for the assassinations of the warlords and generals who backed his rise to power. The crackdown continued with political dissidents, and Yu ordered the implementation of martial law in parts of the Empire still vying for independence or autonomy, notably Qiongzhu and Neilu.

Qiongzhu Special Administrative Area

The Qiongzhu Special Administrative Area was the official name for the Qiongzhu Islets during the martial law period from 1964 to 1985. Enacted by Regent Yu Zeming in response to the Qiong'ao Incident, the designation was dissolved in 1985 and its status as a province was reinstated soon after.

With the Qiongzhu Republic dissolved in the aftermath of the Qiongzhu Siege, there were widespread protests against the Imperial occupation. With the provisional authorities unable to deal with the unrest, Regent Yu personally enacted the Qiongzhu Martial Law with the ascent of the Yihuiting and the Gaofayuan. During the period locals know as the Benevolent Terror Terror, the military authorities cracked down on dissent and any pro-independence sentiments. On Bai itself, the government also cracked down on those demanding for martial law throughout the country to be lifted. In the 1980s, restrictions were gradually lifted, and with the signing the Order to lift martial law over the islets in 1985, the "Special Administrative Area" was dissolved
