Yo, history buffs! Today we're diving into a juicy topic—The formation of the United Front in 1924 in China. Think of it as a political "superhero team-up" between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Guomindang (GMD), all thanks to a matchmaker named the Comintern (Communist International).

• Numbers: CCP started tiny. Like, 50-people-at-a-high-school-party tiny, back in 1921.
• Little Victories: Despite the small size, they organized strikes and boycotts, particularly in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
• Oof Moment: They goofed big-time when they tried to organize a railway stoppage in the Beijing region in 1923. Warlord Zhang Zuolin wasn't having any of it.

Real-world example: Imagine trying to win a basketball game with just 5 players against the NBA All-Stars. That's how the CCP felt trying to take on the warlords.

• Doubts: The Comintern thought the CCP alone couldn't be the revolutionary force China needed.
• Matchmaking: Suggested the CCP team up with the GMD and its leader Sun Yatsen.

Real-world example: Like when Captain America needed Iron Man to take down Thanos. Different skills, same goal.
