Nationalists vs. Communists (1927-37) 🎎
- The Great Face-Off
- Key Players
- Jiang Jieshi (GMD leader) 🎖️
- Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 🚩
- Jiang, after getting rid of the warlords, had a new target: the CCP!
- Key Players
Real-World Example: Imagine a TV series where one big villain (the warlords) is defeated, only to be replaced by another (CCP) - plot twist!
- White Terror (1927)
- Jiang tried to wipe out CCP in a shocking move called the White Terror.
- Result? Civil war between GMD and CCP that lasted until 1949. It's like the Marvel Civil War, but way more complicated and without the superheroes.
- Encirclement Campaigns
- Jiang's strategy to corner and crush CCP's stronghold in Jiangxi. Think of it like playing the game of chess and trying to checkmate the king (CCP).
- Legendary Long March (1934)
- Epic escape of the Communists.
- Destination? Yanan.
- Once there, under Mao Zedong's leadership, they set up their own Chinese Communist government.
Real-World Example: Imagine Frodo’s journey to Mordor in The Lord of the Rings, but replace Frodo with the Communists and Mordor with Yanan. It was that legendary!
- Japanese Invasion (Post-1931)
- The external threat forced GMD and CCP to join hands temporarily against Japan. Think of it like two rival football teams joining together to play against a stronger opponent.
