Faced with surmounting pressure, Yuan Shikai abdicated on
March 22. He died soon after on
June 6, and the National Protection War was proclaimed a success, with the provinces rescinding their declarations of independence.
Was the death really necessary for the NPW to be seen as a success? I would have assumed the provinces would have started to consider the war a success with the abdication. It would seem the death was just 'gravy'. But this is just speculation since I know next to nothing about the subject. Could anyone confirm that the death was really that important in the grand scheme of things?

You made a right point. I'll adjust it.
