The National Assembly (Chinese: 國民大會; pinyin: Guómín Dàhuì) refers to several parliamentary bodies that existed in the Republic of China. The National Assembly was originally founded in 1913 as the first legislature in Chinese history but was disbanded less than a year later as President Yuan Shikai assumed dictatorial power. During the warlord era the National Assembly was resurrected and disbanded more than once as different warlords vied for power and legitimacy.
