袁世凯帝制在1915年正式拉开了大幕,拥有袁世凯支持的筹安会不仅应时而生、发展迅速,而且其为推动帝制所开展的活动在民国初年掀起了一股复辟浪潮。然而与此同时,因反对帝制这一共同目标,国内外政治势力与袁世凯的矛盾也渐趋尖锐,而这无形中也为日后袁世凯的帝制败亡埋下了伏笔。

Monarchy of Yuan Shi-kai began formally in 1915. The Security Council (Chouanhui) supported by Yuan Shi-kai was formed and rapidly expanded.It promoted the monarchic activities in the early Republic period and set off a wave of restoration.
