The Qing dynasty [[Xinhai Revolution|collapsed]] in 1912 and was replaced by the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]]. In a few years, China descended into a civil war, with regional warlords vying for power. Since Zhili was so close to the capital of [[Beijing]], it was the site of the [[Zhiwan War]], the [[First Zhifeng War]], and the [[Second Zhifeng War]]. With the success of the [[Northern Expedition (1926–1927)|Northern Expedition]] in 1926 and 1927 by the [[Kuomintang]], the capital was moved from Beijing to [[Nanjing]]. As a result, the province's name was changed to Hebei, reflecting the relocation of the capital and its standard provincial administration.

During [[World War II]], Hebei was under the control of the [[Wang Jingwei regime|Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China]], a [[puppet state]] of [[Imperial Japan]].
