On This Day in History - January 1, 1912
January 1, 1912 #OTD The Republic of China was established as Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Pictured) took the oath of office as the Provisional President at Nanjing. According to Homer Lea, an advisor to Sun and the only Westerner to witness the ceremony, a band played "Behold, the Conquering Hero Comes" and the hymn "God Be with You till We Meet Again". Although Sun's supporters controlled most of southern China, Yuan Shikai retained power in the north as the chief of the Emperor's army in Beijing, and would soon become president of a united nation.

It never really sees any crowd, but you enter a different time when you see it. If you are a history enthusiast, you can imagine how it would've been 500 years ago 😍
