Second Zhili–Fengtian War (1924)

On the Chinese Revolution map as “Shanhaiguan”

Sep–Nov 1924 — Zhili and Fengtian, the north’s two great cliques, fight the era’s biggest war at the pass where the Great Wall meets the sea — perhaps 450,000 men with artillery, aircraft and armored trains. It ends by betrayal, not battle: Feng Yuxiang’s midnight seizure of Beijing. War as business, armies as capital.
