The Republic of China (ROC) was established in 1912, marking the end of China's imperial era following the Xinhai Revolution. It navigated a tumultuous period of warlordism, civil war, and foreign invasion, eventually leading to its retreat to Taiwan in 1949. The ROC's history is intertwined with the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the ongoing political complexities surrounding the status of Taiwan.
